On this episode of Why Dad?, Paul and Andrew sit down with Cory Carlson — former corporate executive turned leadership coach, speaker, and author of Win at Home First and Rise and Go. Cory takes us through the pivotal moment that changed his definition of success: a dinner where status and material talk felt empty beside conversations about family. From there, he describes how he began rewriting his life around aligning priorities with purpose. Together, we dive into: The 5 P’s framework that helped Cory craft a purpose statement How identity can shift when we tie too much to achievement Practical habits to recalibrate when life derails you What it means to show up intentionally for your kids Why community, resilience, and faith matter in balancing work and home If you ever feel like you're doing “everything right” and still missing something, this episode is for you.
