Episode Choosing to Be a Great Dad to Two Over a Father Figure to Millions

0:00 46:08

Jefe Greenheart is a filmmaker, documentary maker, and one of the most beloved brothers in the Front Row Dads community. He's been with us for seven years and this conversation was worth every one of them.

Before he was behind the camera telling other people's stories, Jefe was on the verge of something big — a PBS pilot that could have made him a household name. Then COVID hit. Then life hit harder. And somewhere in the middle of his wife Kelly's health crisis, a solar eclipse on a paddleboard, and a long-overdue conversation with his estranged father, Jefe found what he was actually here to do.

In this episode we talk about:

•

Walking away from fame to be present for two kids

•

Carrying your family through a dark season without losing yourself

•

The "sacred interview" that healed years of silence with his dad

•

Why your family's story is more valuable than you think — and how to capture it before it's gone

Part 2 of this conversation drops in two days. You're going to want to hear it.
