Dad's Rules with Kevin Belzer

We are at an episode a day for the longest months of the year! On this episode, we discuss perception.  Whatever you believe about anything is a truth. It's your truth. It may not be the truth, but it is definitely a truth. Once you have new information, then we can see if you were right or completely off base.  What I have noticed for myself in the real estate world is that I could look...

On today's episode, we will go over my journey through 75 Hard.  75 Hard consist of: 2 workouts a day Read 10 pages of a non fiction book Take a progress picture Pick a diet and stick to it No cheat meals or alcohol I will go into the details of each of these as well as my setbacks, challenges and key takeaways from the 75 Hard program. Also, I will go over what I am up to next. This isn't a...

Day after the election. If you are hearing this, neither party blew up America. Half of you are pissed off. Heck, maybe all of you are, right? So, in this episode, I decided to dive into the challenging times we are in. We talk about the elections, economy, gas prices, inflation, possibility of war, the housing market, rates and rents. Guess what? All of that is macro and will only effect you as m...

The final episode in the MenaceCon Recap! In hindsight, I am very glad that I broke this down. It would have been over 3 hours for one episode if I hadn't.  In this episode, we cover 4 speakers. Tim Herriage is Executive Director of RCN Capital, $1 billion + of real estate transactions and has bought or sold 1300+ houses. Tim spent time talking about connections, knowing the right people to m...

We are down to the last few recap episodes.  On this episode, we have two powerhouse speakers that I recap, Luke Vennard and Terrence Burner. Luke Vennard is a partner at Sterling Group United, a 9 figure entrepreneur and financial expert. He asked some powerful questions. What is my potential? Who am I inside? Do you have the fight in you? What kind of person am I? What drives me? What motiv...

Part VII of MenaceCon Recap series. I hope you are getting as much out of this as I am reliving one of the best conferences I have ever attended.  In Part VII, we have 3 speakers to recap.  1st, Curtis Ray, founder of MPI Unlimited, 1.5 million + social media followers and brand worth $10s of millions. Although we stay out of the deep talk of money that he is known for, we do scrape the...

We continue our coverage of MenaceCon with Part VI.  One speaker only but he deserved all of our time. Jason Von Payne is the co-founder of Menace, Founder of State 48 Roofing and an 8 figure entrepreneur.  Jason spent his talk on attention.  As the markets all shift, it will become apparent that many fields are saturated. In order to stand out, to stand above the competition, it wi...

We continue my recap of MenaceCon 2022. So many speakers and so much quality content to go over.  Rather than try and rush through the speakers and what I took out of their talks, I have decided to break it down to 1-3 speakers per episode. By doing this, I can spend more time deep diving into the takeaways and, hopefully, deliver more value to you, my fellow Kickass Adults. Today's Episode w...

We continue our run through the speakers at MenaceCon 2022. This will be Part IV.  Today, we break down some key takeaways that I got from Nicole Markson. She is a Billboard charting artist, breast cancer survivor and the founder of Live Your Dream. Her story of overcoming obstacles created by the experts in the music world and in life was moving to all of those in attendance. As usual with t...

We continue our march through MenaceCon and it's star filled speakers. Rather than make this a race and try to wrap this all up in an episode or two, I chose to do a deep dive on all the speakers. By taking our time, I felt I could better elaborate on what I got out of their speeches. I took 16 total pages of notes so this will take quite a few episodes to cover.  Since it is my show, I talke...

We are continuing my recap of thoughts and insights into MenaceCon 2022.  Today's episode will cover Gary Brecka, co-founder of 10x Health Systems and Bio Hacker. Absolutely fascinating man and story. Big takeaway for me was that we sure do put a lot of garbage into our systems. Next, Tommy Mello was up. He is the founder of A1 Garage Doors. Hey! I use their services! They have had sales in e...

This will take several podcast to cover. What I want to do is make sure I spend enough time going through the different speakers. My hope is to convey the value I received out of each and every speaker. The next MenaceCon will be in January 2023. It will be held in Phoenix, Arizona area again. Don't say I didn't give you enough notice!  With so much knowledge to share and trying to keep the l...

Challenges are great. Well, they are if you create them and follow through. We will discuss my current one and how you can join in one too.  Also, we will talk about how I get attention in business. What are you doing to get attention for what is important for you and your business?  Lastly, we should always be learning. Sometimes, we need reminders that help get us back on track. I may...

We wrap up a 3 episode arc on beliefs by focusing on three recent Supreme Court cases. This week, we look at the recent ruling concerning a teacher who was praying on school grounds.  No matter your beliefs, we need to be asking ourselves if we are hearing each other. We may not change minds. In fact, highly unlikely. However, maybe, just maybe we can find a way to hold a conversation without...

We continue our 3 episode arc about beliefs. This one will cover another ruling by the Supreme Court, abortion. I go over the case, a story that I have never told publicly about why I have my beliefs as well as what this ruling really means. All of this in less than 16 minutes.  There are reasons we all have the beliefs we do. Some of them, we will never see eye to eye. But, that doesn't mean...

I will be covering 3 recent Supreme Court cases. I will be tying in reasons that people develop the beliefs they have. Some will take this as political.  Look, I have to use something as an example and these cases fit in perfectly. Besides, the media is the one hyping up what is and isn't political anyway. If we can instead look at these as what they are, issues, and instead have civil conver...

Today, we will go over Rule #1 - Don't Be An Asshole.  Seems simple, right? The first thing we owe each other is kindness. Why is this such a challenge for some to figure out? If you want to get the most out of life, this rule is critical. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  It is easy to think that assholes win in life. Steve Jobs comes to mind. He had wealth but what else d...

Today, we are going to discuss the Mendon, Missouri train crash. Now, rather than take the political angle that all the papers, media (social and mainstream) and online sites took, we will look at it from the citizens of Mendon's perspective. They rose to a remarkable level that I believe is possible for all. We will tie this into a rule I am hashing out. Rule #21 - Challenge Accepted. Do you want...

Today, we will wrap up Rule #20 - Unsubscribe.  This one was such a big deal to me that I couldn't see glossing over it. We spend so much time being distracted by outside sources. While many may have value, we are only human. We will find a way to abuse them.  We quickly recap the previous two part and then dive into the topic at hand. The two main points in this episode are around two q...

There was so much to go over that we couldn't contain it to one episode.  Here is Rule #20 Unsubscribe Part II. In this episode, we will continue our talk about a rule so important that it will be in Dad's Rules Get Off My Lawn in the coming months.  We continue the discussion about social media, friends, family and the questions you need to be asking yourself. We surround ourselves with...

In this episode, we will go over Rule 20 - Unsubscribe. This rule will be featured in my upcoming book, Dad's Rules Get Off My Lawn. I had so many pages of notes, I decided to break this up into a few parts.  In Part I, we set a foundation by go over social media, blogs and podcasts. We talk about the lack of silence we let into our lives now and how the constant white noise is keeping up fro...

Episode 9 is all about goals. However, we start it all off with me being ridiculous and singing a jingle about a chair.  So, why goals? Simply put, life can't be achieved at a high level off of resolutions and dreams alone. Without an end goal, through a mapped out plan, you will fail.  I will cover the importance of writing out your goals, my opinion on what time frame those should be s...

Procrastination is the killer of dreams. It destroys progress. We need to look at every situation as an inevitable yes. Whether you make a decision or not, you are saying yes to your future. It just may not be the one you want if you procrastinate.  On this episode, we discuss how Ben Franklin got clarity in making decisions. We also talk about that time I tried out for a rock and roll band....

This week, we will go over Rule #16 - Act On Your Dreams. This rule will be in the upcoming book, Dad's Rules Get Off My Lawn. It has been polished and fine tuned to perfection. It is ready for public consumption! I go over my early dreams and what I did to act on them. It takes time and dedication to develop your craft.  Also, we will cover many of the reasons that people don't act on their...

Are you a control freak? Do you have to always be in command of every situation whether it involves you personally or not?  Hey, I have been there myself! I spent many years wanting to control everything. It didn't give me the happiness, peace or success that I thought it would. In this episode, we go over why it may be time to give up control in some areas of your life. You need to learn to...
