Father’s Day #144

What does it mean to be a father? There are as many answers to this question as there are men who have taken on this role. Today we speak with Chris Kast, brand strategist with Brand Co., and Christian Townsend of CT Marine, about the influences their fathers have had upon their professional lives, and upon their own fatherhood. Our interview with Chris touches on some deeply personal issues–we were touched by his willingness to share his story. You won’t want to miss it.
