In this powerful conversation, Oscar sits down with Evan Sanchez, life coach and founder of New Grad Launchpad Coaching, to talk about the often-ignored phase of fatherhood: coaching our kids through early adulthood.

Evan works closely with parents of teens and new grads navigating what he calls the quarter-life crisis—a stage filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and pressure for both kids and parents. Together, Evan and Oscar explore how fathers shape their daughters’ confidence, boundaries, self-advocacy, and resilience long after childhood ends.

This episode dives into:

• Why daughters learn how to treat others by watching their fathers

• The shift from director to coach as kids grow

• Trusting daughters instead of controlling them

• Navigating entitlement vs preparedness in today’s world

• Supporting neurodivergent children with empathy and clarity

• Teaching boundaries without fear or intimidation

• Why praise, patience, and presence still matter in their 20s

If you’re a father who wants to raise a daughter who can speak up, set boundaries, and navigate the real world with confidence—this episode is a must-listen.

What does it really mean to be “the example of what right looks like”—at home, not just at work?

In this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with William C. Spears, a U.S. Navy submarine warfare officer who writes on leadership, ethics, and military life—and the author of Stoicism as a Warrior Philosophy.

Even though William is a father of three boys, his message is deeply relevant for girl dads and boy dads alike: your kids aren’t just listening to what you say—they’re learning from how you manage pressure, handle conflict, and take responsibility in real time.

This a packed episode:

• Why fatherhood is the most important job

• The leadership-parallel that keeps coming up

• The difference between controlling emotions vs. suppressing them

• A practical Stoic framework

• The hard-but-powerful practice of “negative visualization” (and why it can make you more present)

William also shares where Stoicism gets misunderstood online, how he thinks about service and sacrifice as a dad, and why your kids watching you “own your reactions” may be one of the greatest gifts you can give them.
