  • Be the Example of What Right Looks Like: Stoicism for Dads w/ William Spears

    Be the Example of What Right Looks Like: Stoicism for Dads w/ William Spears
    Dec 23 2025
    What does it really mean to be “the example of what right looks like”—at home, not just at work? In this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with William C. Spears, a U.S. Navy submarine warfare officer who writes on leadership, ethics, and military life—and the author of Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy. Even though William is a father of three boys, his message is deeply relevant for girl dads and boy dads alike: your kids aren’t just listening to what you say—they’re learning from how you manage pressure, handle conflict, and take responsibility in real time. This a packed episode: Why fatherhood is the most important job The leadership-parallel that keeps coming up The difference between controlling emotions vs. suppressing them A practical Stoic framework The hard-but-powerful practice of “negative visualization” (and why it can make you more present) William also shares where Stoicism gets misunderstood online, how he thinks about service and sacrifice as a dad, and why your kids watching you “own your reactions” may be one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

  • I Can Because I Will: A Girl Dad’s Lesson in Leadership at Home w/ Albert Butler

    I Can Because I Will: A Girl Dad’s Lesson in Leadership at Home w/ Albert Butler
    Dec 16 2025
    What does real leadership at home actually look like — and why do our daughters expose the gaps faster than anyone else? In this powerful episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Albert Butler for an honest, deeply personal conversation about fatherhood, marriage, emotional intelligence, and what it truly means to lead your family well. Albert Butler is a CPA, MBA, national accounting firm partner, published author, and a devoted father of four (three daughters and one son). With decades of leadership experience in business, Albert brings a rare perspective on how professional leadership principles must be refined — not replicated — at home. His work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes, Business Insider, and Yahoo Finance, but he proudly identifies first and foremost as a husband and girl dad. He shares how becoming a girl dad — starting with a life-altering NICU experience — reshaped the way he views responsibility, leadership, and presence. Together, they unpack why many fathers excel at leadership at work but struggle to translate those same principles at home, especially with their daughters. Albert also opens up about marriage, humility, and the mindset that has guided his life and fatherhood journey: “I can because I will.” Albert is the author of Life: Truth, Love, Loss, Success & Failure, a book inspired by fatherhood and legacy, written to pass wisdom down to future generations. If you’re a dad raising daughters, navigating marriage, or trying to become a more present and emotionally grounded leader at home, this conversation will challenge you — and equip you — to do better. 🎧 Listen now and ask yourself:Am I leading my home with the same discipline and intention I bring to my career?

    How to Truly Connect With Your Teen Daughter: Expert Advice from Teen Life Coach Kim Worrell
    Dec 9 2025
    In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Kim Worrell, a certified life coach for teen girls and young women, and a certified Positive Psychology Coach based in Providence, Rhode Island. Kim is the founder of KBW Coaching, where she blends life coaching and positive psychology to help girls navigate today’s complex world, build confidence, and move forward with purpose. Oscar and Kim dive into what’s really going on in the hearts and minds of teen girls today—especially in those wild middle school and early high school years. Kim shares practical ways dads can stop “walking on eggshells” and start building real connection: from simple rituals like breakfast dates and coffee runs, to using humor, code words, and curiosity to keep communication open instead of shutting it down. They talk about why dads’ steady love and presence are far more powerful than perfect words. Kim also breaks down tools that dads can adapt at home to support their daughters’ mindset, resilience, and self-belief. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I saying the right thing? Am I doing enough?” this conversation will help you show up with more clarity, courage, and compassion for your teenage daughter. Kim Worrell Work with Kim.
