👑 Happy Father’s Day from The Auxiliary Podcast 👑

Today, we salute the Fathers. Father figures. Father energy.

To the men who lead with love, protect with purpose, teach with truth, and show up even when the world tries to keep them down — we see you.

From the barbershop convos to the front porch wisdom, from the late-night shifts to the early morning coaching — you’re building legacy every day. 💪🏾

Whether you’re a biological dad, a bonus dad, a mentor, or a man who stood in the gap — your presence matters.

We honor the kings who are raising the next generation with strength, knowledge, creativity, and heart. 🖤👑
