Dad Improvement

It is The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood because it is not a destination but a journey of always bettering ourselves as fathers and husbands! This week Larry Hagner of The Dad Edge was nice enough to take time away from his own podcast, fathering his 4 boys, husband duties, and authoring of his book to speak with us about what it means to pursue a legendary fatherhood. Larry is a force in the fat...

"Never assume connection with your kid." -Todd Sarner I was able to have an enlightening chat with Todd Sarner this week on the podcast. Todd explains secure attachment between us and our children and how it is the foundation upon which the rest of parenting is built. As long as our children feel secure to come to us, then we are doing a good job. If you would like to get in touch with T...

Jeff interviewed 50 highly ambitious fathers in order to get the answers he wanted about defining success in and out of the household. Since then he has gone on to interview over 200 fathers and continues to learn and define what it means to be a good father. We talk work/life balance, how to navigate life&...

We have all heard various women refer to their husband as their extra child. Real life is not a 90's sitcom. The days of the bumbling, lovable buffoon of a father is not a good look. It's time for us husbands to step up and put in the effort to lead our families right alongside our wives! Improvement > Perfection

It's Father's Day this weekend so I thought what better time to talk about the the aspects of fatherhood that I love! AKA I didn't want to do any research or work on anything new, so why not talk about something that's easy... Hope everybody has a great weekend and takes it easy. (I know you won't, because you're a dad, and that's not how you roll...) For more follow HE...

Nobody is going to be motivated 100% of the time. So, what do we do when we don't feel like doing the hard work that will make us successful? We use discipline. But Sean, isn't that something you're born with? Nope. It's a skill, and like any skill you can get better at it. Well then, how do we get better at staying disciplined? You listen to this episode. Improvement > Perfecti...

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Daniel Miller this week. We talked about parenting, self care, how to stop fighting against things we have no control over, and even some tennis. (Did I mention that he's ranked top 10 in doubles in the country!?) I really enjoyed my time speaking with Daniel because I could tell that he was genuine in his message, he truly practices what he preaches! He...

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Rob Finlay, who is a father of 4 and successful commercial real estate investor. But, what really interested me was his new book due out on April 29th, Hey Dad... This was a passion project of Rob's after realizing that he may not have fully prepared his children for what they may encounter as they venture out into the adult world. Rob's book i...

Anybody else find themselves micro managing their kids? Turning every single thing that happens throughout the day into some grand life lesson? Afraid that your children aren't going to learn everything they need to learn from you before going out into this big world? Well guess what. Our kids hate that. And to be honest I'm pretty sure we hate having to be this way. This is why I spent th...

I know I hit you guys with a super long guest episode two weeks ago so I thought I'd give you a break. This week is super quick, super to the point. Two years ago I made a similar episode from the perspective of a guy who wanted to get his life together but kept falling into the all or nothing mentality. I have a theory I like to call "The Better Choice." You don't have to be sup...

This week I am lucky enough to be joined by Kenneth Braswell. Kenneth is the CEO of Fathers Incorporated, host of the I Am Dad podcast, and author of multiple books.

We get into how to surround ourselves with the right tribe, how to affirm ou...

Before children, I was in charge of making sure I was ready for vacation and my wife was in charge of making sure she was ready for vacation. After having our son, I am still in charge of me and my wife is now in charge of herself and our son... Doesn't seem fair. When a child gets added to the family, the responsibility that comes along with that often gets shifted towards the mother, not just wi...
