Man cave goals

I've got a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home, so we're not dealing with social media influence just yet. But I know it's coming down the pike, and I want to be prepared.
I saw the post below on IG and wanted to get a hot take from dads who are ahead of me on this journey. Feel free to respond with what approaches have worked well and what challenges you’ve faced.

Satya Nadella: CEO of Microsoft
When you think of tech CEOs, you might picture sleepless nights coding or high-stakes board meetings. But for Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, some of his most profound leadership lessons came from an unexpected source: fatherhood.
Nadella's journey as a dad took an unexpected turn when his son Zain was born with severe cerebral palsy. It's a challenge that would test any parent, let alone one steering a tech giant.
"Becoming a father of a son with special needs was the turning point in my life that has shaped who I am today." - Satya Nadella
Tragically, Zain passed away in 2022 at the age of 26.
So the next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of parenthood, remember Nadella's journey. It reminds us that every moment with our kids is precious, that our love for them can drive us to be better in all aspects of life, and that even in loss, the impact of being a dedicated father lives on.
