🟫 The Best Job In The World | Andrew Stillman and Bryan Ward | Ep. 293

👉 Andrew Stillman is a devoted father of nine, entrepreneur, and now a published children’s book author.

👉 Hailing from Manatee County, Florida, Andrew owns and operates Stillman’s Tree Services.

👉 His journey into writing was inspired by a heartfelt moment with his daughter after a soccer tournament.

👉 When she expressed her love for him, he responded, “You know what my favorite job is in the whole world? Being your dad.”

👉 This touching exchange led him to pen his debut book, My Favorite Job in the Whole Wide World, aiming to convey to children that, regardless of life’s opportunities, being their father is his greatest joy.

👉 The book, beautifully illustrated by 17-year-old Lindsey Canna from Sarasota, serves as a simple yet profound message for children and a model for fathers to express their love.

👉 Andrew’s goal is to make it easier for dads to communicate their feelings to their children, emphasizing that they are the most important part of their lives.
