The Dad You Become

  1. The Dad You Become Ed Franklin 37:07

When life hands you a challenge that shakes your identity,you either break… or you build something stronger. In this episode, I sit down with Kirby Rabalais, founder of Got4titude, a movement born from his journey raising his son Harley, who lives with Pitt Hopkins syndrome. Kirby opens up about the shock, Grief, resilience, and transformation that reshaped his purpose — and why he’s now committed to empowering fathers raising childrenwith disabilities.

We talk courage, vulnerability, advocacy, and the real workof becoming the dad your Family needs when the road gets steep. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of the kind of perspective that changes how you show up in your own life.

I am an almost 61-year-old Sales, Sales Manager, and Leader in my community in San Diego, CA. I started my podcast to help younger people navigate life since I have had hurdles like everyone else, but I tend to get a large variety of ages listening, even boomers! I have 8 children and soon to have a total of 19 grandchildren. Like many boomers I have been through the ringer when it comes to life and have many life experiences that could benefit anyone at any age. I choose to be a positive person, although it can be tough with our country's leadership over the last 20 years.
