I hated working with my father. He was impatient, quick to anger, and impossible to please - and I promised myself I'd never put my own kids through that. Then one day, building a bridge with my son Jack, I realized I'd become exactly what I swore I never would.

This is a personal one. I talk about what happened during that project, the moment it finally broke something open in me, and what I did afterward to try to rebuild what I'd almost lost with my son. If you're a father wrestling with your own patience, expectations, or the patterns you grew up with, I think this one's for you.
