What Every Dad Should Know: Lessons From Literary Legend James Patterson

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. You know, I've been thinking a lot about my dad lately. I've been thinking about how the years have just flown by. I mean, I can't believe he's already 80. And the fact is, I want to see him more often.

I want to connect with him on a deeper level, learn more about him, because if I'm lucky, I've got like 10 or 15 more years with him. And I really want to enjoy the time that we have together. Maybe you feel that way about someone you care about too. You know, one thing I've come to realize is that there's never enough time with the people you love. And knowing that, doesn't it just create this sense of urgency to say the things that matter, ask the questions you've never asked, try to do just a little bit better?

And that's What makes today's guest so special? To say that he has a way with words is a massive understatement. In our Boston studios today, we have one of the single best-selling authors of our lifetime. I'm talking about the one and only James Patterson.
