Episode 17: Raising Four Daughters, Family Drama & Dad Wisdom with Michael Skalla

Описание: This week on Legally Friends, Amy and Zach are joined by the one and only Michael Skalla — Amy’s dad, Zach’s father-in-law, and possibly the most patient man alive.

Michael opens up about growing up in Wyoming and Omaha, how he met Shannon, raising four daughters, becoming a girl dad after growing up in a house full of boys, supporting the Skalla sisters through business, social media, dance, dating, family drama, and all the chaos in between.

Amy also gets called out for her checkbook era, Michael shares the story of his heart attack and how Shannon and Amy dragged him to the ER, and Zach reveals how he won Michael over on the basketball court.

Plus, we get some classic Quotes by Michael, including family advice, parenting wisdom, and the iconic reminder to “expect problems and eat them for breakfast.”
