Cultivating Connection: Raising a Tight-Knit Family with David Gilliland

The Gentlemen Project Podcast

Imagine saying "no" to countless things just to be able to powerfully say "yes" to what truly matters. In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with David Gilliland, a father who has done just that. By cultivating a culture of friendship and intentionality, David has successfully raised eight daughters into a tight-knit family.
As we delved into the intentional planning and growth strategies that David and his wife employ, we discovered how they maintain a strong bond with their children. From daily walks to weekly check-ins and a focus on serving each other, they've built a family life that revolves around their shared values and goals. David also opens up about the importance of vulnerability in parenting, teaching his children that it's okay to make mistakes and rely on their parents for guidance.
We also explored how David's family navigates transitions and tackles challenges together. With unique approaches such as "question and answer" nights for their teens, they've fostered a nurturing environment where open communication thrives. Listen in as David shares his wisdom on connecting with your children one small step at a time and how to not let discouragement stand in the way of making a change.
David's organization is hosting an event for business owners in August to teach leadership in all aspects of life. Kirk will be presenting there as well. If you'd like more information, please follow the link!
