Original caption

We put a phone in the middle of a park with a simple sign: “DAD, PICK UP. YOU NEED THIS.” No interviewer. No script. No idea what question would be waiting on the other end. Just a dad, a phone, and an opportunity to stop for a minute and think about something we probably don’t ask ourselves often enough. This is the beginning of something new for Dad Built. We spend a lot of time encouraging dads through Dad Built 365. Now we want to give dads a place to speak too. Real dads. Unexpected questions. Honest answers about fatherhood. Introducing: Dad, Pick Up. ☎️ Episode 01. Let’s see where this goes. #DadBuilt #DadPickUp #Fatherhood
