What if the very thing you’re hiding is the key to your greatest strength?

In this episode of the Dads Making a Difference Podcast, Cam sits down with Brian Seim, Christian, husband, father of five, and founder of the Kingdom Family Leader movement, to talk about breaking isolation, facing your past, and surrounding yourself with the kind of men who sharpen you for life and legacy.

Brian opens up about his own journey, growing up with an absent father, navigating personal struggles, and learning that vulnerability is not weakness but the starting point for true leadership. From years in coaching and masterminds, he’s learned that success without connection leaves men feeling empty, and that the path to fulfillment starts with owning your story and inviting others into it.

This conversation will challenge you to:

• Identify the real reason you might be isolating yourself
• Embrace the power of brotherhood and authentic conversations
• Understand the difference between coaching and a true mastermind
• Build a support network that calls out your blind spots and celebrates your wins

Picture this: It's 1 AM. Your phone rings. Your heart races as you answer, expecting the worst. Instead, your college-aged daughter asks, "Dad, can I put the green gas in my Jeep?"

That moment changed everything for entrepreneur and father of four Rob Finlay. What started as relief quickly became a sobering realization: Had he been so focused on building businesses that he'd forgotten to build life skills in his children?

In this episode, Rob shares the wake-up call that led him to write a book and interview over 30 experts—from Navy SEALs to NASCAR drivers—to discover what young adults really need to thrive in the real world.

• The "Magic Carpet Ride" Reality: How our education system creates dependency, then abruptly demands independence
• The Social Isolation Crisis: Why young adults struggle with networking and real-world communication
• Essential Life Skills: From financial literacy to calling 911 under pressure
• The Good Human Foundation: Why character matters more than achievement
• Coaching vs. Helicoptering: Transitioning from protector to empowerer

✅ Include your kids in social situations - Let them see you interact professionally and personally

✅ Don't top up their shortfalls - Create opportunities for them to earn and problem-solve

✅ Focus on building good humans first - Character trumps credentials every time

✅ You can't give what you don't have - Model the life you want them to live

"The whole goal for any parent is to produce a young person who's a good human. That to me is the most important. You've already won if you've got that." - Rob Finlay

This conversation will challenge you to examine: Are you preparing your children for the magic carpet ride to end, or are you extending it? The difference could determine whether your kids thrive or struggle when they step into independence.
