Thanks for taking 8 minutes to be part of this.

Intentional Dad exists to restore and equip fathers so kids grow up with a present, engaged, intentional dad. Our material is grounded in the real stories of real men — and I'm inviting you to put yours in.

A few quick things:

8 questions, about 8 minutes
Stories beat advice — a few honest sentences about what actually happened is exactly what we need
Skip anything you'd rather not answer
Anything we use gets anonymized — no names, no identifying details
Name is optional; add it only if you're open to a short follow-up conversation (last question)

Every child deserves to know that someone fought for their dad.

1. Think of a moment your dad (or a father figure) did something you still remember — good or bad. What happened?

2. What's one thing about being a father nobody prepared you for?

3. Tell me about a time you learned something that actually changed how you act, not just something you agreed with. What made it stick?

4. When has another man's story or example changed you more than advice did?

5. What's the hardest conversation you've had (or avoided) with your child?

6. If a younger father asked you "what do I actually need to know," what would you say?

7. What makes you tune out when someone's trying to teach men? What makes you lean in?

8. Anything you'd want a fatherhood program to never do?

Would you be open to a 20-minute conversation about any of this? (If yes, please make sure you've provided your contact info at the top of the form)
