BEST DAD EVER!
There are so many influential dads in this world, from our personal lives to those we see on stage or in movies. We're big believers in going outside, falling down and learning how to get right back up. We asked some influential papa's about special advice they live by and this is what they had to say. So this Sunday, give your dad a big hug and let him know what he's taught you throughout the years.
"I want to teach my kids the value of things, not the price. If wealth is measured by love then we are the richest family in the world." -Ben Baller, Celebrity Jeweler & Co-Owner of Superism
"This picture says it all! My kids are my world. I learn from each of them every single day. I am a very lucky man." -Elliston Lutz, Fashion Photographer
"When we have each other, we have everything" -Franck Izquierdo, Founder IGK Salons
"From when my daughter was months old I have told her affirmations to plant seeds of confidence and assertiveness. I always make sure to tell her I love her and show her what that means. I encourage her to be free, have fun, and be strong. She is a kid, but I show her respect so she knows what that is. I am the first man she will love and I want to make sure the impression I make is a good one." -Guy Mariano, Pro skateboarder and Co-owner of Villager Goods
"As a father of boys, the best advice I could give to any parent, is to simply tell your kids you love them everyday, and to show that love with time spent with them. My wife and I have busy schedules but we make sure to devote as much time as possible to being there for and with our sons, and that is what fulfills us." -Matt Robinson , Founder of Real Food by Dad
"Kids don't need a lot of toys. They best toy a child can have, is a parent who gets down on the floor and plays with them. They will forever remember the time you spent with them, they will not remember the toys you bought them." -Ryan Secret Sr., Music Producer & Dad to Ryan Secret Jr.
