The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Today, Scott McDonald shares his powerful journey as a father navigating the unique challenges of raising adopted and autistic children while striving to become a better husband and leader.

The most remarkable change came when his wife noticed he had begun putting her first, not just their son, fundamentally reshaping their home dynamics and strengthening their partnership. Looking back, Scott's advice to his former self would be to focus less on end results and more on embracing the journey itself.
