EP37 - Pain & Suffering with Paul Gilbride

Please welcome Paul Gilbride to the We RAD DADS podcast. Paul is a divorced dad, a father of 2 and stay at home dad who; through this opportunity, was able to live the life of passion he had not before imagined possible. In order for this to occur, Paul had to be willingly tempered by the flames of life and forged anew by way of constant; and sometimes indistinguishable improvement. Through Paul’s bomb crater and stratification of circumstance, he was able to find and focus on the tiny silver linings and pursue them to discover his true calling.
