The life lessons I wrote for my son when he was just one

I WAS sifting through my inbox today, looking for a presentation I had sent to my personal email address. By accident, I stumbled upon an email I wrote to myself and my wife on March 26, 2011 at 3:53 p.m. To give context, my first son Rocco was born in early 2010 and when I wrote this piece, our second-born was still in my wife’s womb.

At the time, I was less than two years out of business school, and grappling with being being the best 20-something-year-old father of a baby boy and being a good husband to my wife. We also just returned from our wedding in the Philippines.
