Welcome back to another episode of Lessons From the Pit. This week, we're diving into the heart of every man's life - the family. Just like the perfectly smoked brisket takes time, care, and intention, so does building a strong and connected family. Today, we explore some barbecue-inspired lessons that will not only make you a grill master but also a master of intentionality in your role as a father and husband. We are going to discuss some positive takeaways and then look at a couple of dangers when we choose to slack in this area of family.

Remember: BBQ is known for being low and slow cooking that produces a fantastic reward. Life as a pitmaster is the same. You have to put in the low and slow efforts to produce the fantastic reward: a legacy of impact! Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!
