Description

Glen Henry went from avoiding fatherhood to embracing it with radical presence, creativity, and faith—and he tells the whole story here. From hip-hop tours to a 24-foot RV with four kids and a tornado warning, Glen shares how “fathering yourself first” rewires your inner voice and spills into patient, playful leadership at home. We talk rough-and-tumble play that teaches limits, saying yes to your kids’ invitations before they stop asking, and reframing fear with better questions—what if everything goes right?


Explore more of Glen’s world through his Beleaf in Fatherhood YouTube channel, his marriage show with Yvette, How Married Are You, and his new book, Father Yourself First.


If you’ve ever wondered how to build a home where kids feel they belong and where dads show up with joy this conversation is a blueprint. Glen’s candid stories (the blanket warrior game, the poop-hunt, and the five-mile desert hike that forged grit) meet practical tools for margin, adventure, and Sabbath-like rest. Listen now on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast and share it with a dad who needs a nudge to step onto the most important stage he’ll ever stand on—right there in the living room.
