Jonah gives us a real look at how he experienced his father from the special moments when his father Steve imparted significant values (as well as talismans) to the tensions that showed up as his heroic father gave way to the human side of his father.
The conversation ventures further into other father-like figures as well as self and self-care, revealing the inner workings of how one fellow human is finding his way in the middle of life, still holding the echoes of what fathering and mothering still mean today.
The episode closes with Jonah recounting the time he had to perform CPR on a surfer and how that moment altered the way he thinks about his life and his commitment to live with heart.
