Dad's Rules with Kevin Belzer

Episode 56 is a prompt deck. This time , we are in the Intimacy Deck from the fine people at Best Self.  Question: What are the top 5 qualities you admire about me? We learn Melissa is a fan of my fighting skills. Who knew? She also likes that I can read her mind...literally. And I am a big fan of the fact she has sex with me and doesn't like to fight about dumb stuff.  If you like or ha...

In Episode 55, we start by talking about swag ( https://dadsrulesswag.com ) as well as give an update on Book 2 of Dad's Rules - Get Off My Lawn. We then do an overview of Rule 15 - The 30 Minute Whine and how it ties in to Rule 17 - Ask for Forgiveness. Mean it. Move on.  Next, it's deck time! This deck is Thinking Time prompt deck by Best Self.  What can you do to surprise and delight...

On Episode 54, we roll out our new swag for Dad's Rule Store. Catch the Youtube episode to get a peak. Otherwise, you will have to use your imagination OR head on over to https://Dadsrulesswag.com and take a peak at our growing online store.  Enough of the pitch. Now, on to the show. We dive into the Best Self deck, Impact. Still not a sponsor but we still love them. This deck consists of act...

In Episode 53, we go down a rabbit hole of nonsense for about 13 minutes. Sure, it starts off nice with a game of "Would you rather..." taken from the Icebreaker Deck by Best Self(not a sponsor), but the tangent is something fierce after that. We cover a little of everything from the Santa Clarita Diet, jumping in near freezing pools to please my clients in the Splash Program marketing system. &nb...

On Episode 52, we talk over some ideas to make our relationship more exciting. Once again, we were inspired by a prompt card from The Best Self Date Deck. How about couple skydiving?   I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right?  Melissa felt a lot could go wrong.   She mentioned roller coasters. As long as they aren't the wooden spawn of satan ones, I am okay with that.  We a...

On Episode 51, we talk about goals.  It is one thing to write your goals down and tuck them away to never be looked at again. A year from now, you sit down to go through the practice of writing them down again only to fall into the same trap.  What if you made those goals public?  That is what I do on this podcast. Will I achieve them all? We shall all see. What it will do is put th...

Episode 50 is full of nonsense and that is what makes this episode so much fun!  We discuss Mesa. Or is it table?   Also covered: Who would you like to play you in a movie?  Would you rather...  When was the last time you cried and why?  And   We talk about Fat Kevin.  Sit back and enjoy. I know we did!  If you like or hate the show, it only makes sense to s...

Episode 49 of Dad's Rules Podcast! Who in your life do you owe an apology? That is the question we dive into this week. It was definitely a surprise card out of the Intimacy Deck.  Some topics covered were: Wisdom from Aunt Ethel Blowing people off and the consequences  Ending friendships over money AND Rule 17 - Ask for forgiveness. Mean it. Move on. This episode is jam packed! If you w...

Episode 48 we go back into the decks with cards from the Impact Deck from Best Self. We drew 3 cards to discuss. 1st card said to choose a new habit and take it on for the next 30 days. We had to compromise. Melissa was going way too extreme and I couldn't get behind it.  2nd card was an affirmation card that said I own my truth and I speak it freely. Know you truth and own your truth. ...

Episode 47 is all about BBQ sauce! I kid I kid. It is actually about Rule #5 - Patience is Bullshit.  We spend this episode diving into rule 5 and why you should go full out in everything you do.  Why? You need to find out quickly if this path you are on is what you want to do or not. Having patience, thinking time just needs to go on and you will progress from promotion to promotion unt...

Episode 46 we are back in the Menace Underground with Melissa Belzer. This one is another Best Self deck, Icebreaker Deeper Talk. The question this week is Where in your life are you lazy and what's your excuse? Hey, some areas of laziness are okay. However, it isn't a good thing if it stops you from progressing forward in life and achieving your dreams.  It is okay to make yourself vulnerabl...

Episode 45 is a live talk I did on Wisdom. I originally made it to share to my real estate community. Part way through recording it, I realized that it would need to be part of the podcast. It fit perfectly after the New Year Same You episode.  This one was a solo episode I did while on a walk and talk. No fancy equipment but an iPhone. I will go over the tips that I believe will help you act...

Episode 44 is all about the new year and goals. But, why is this airing in February? I timed this episode out to remind you of what you planned on doing this year but more than likely quit.  Well, that seems harsh! Look, it is nothing personal. It is just statistically likely that you quit. Whether it was get in shape, start your novel or go after your dream job, the vast majority of people w...

Episode 43 gets into the decks again. This week, Melissa and I pull from the Thinking Time Business Edition deck from Best Self. Now, Melissa isn't a business owner. That doesn't mean she doesn't have some wisdom to bring to this conversation. In fact, many times, it is those not all up in your business that will see what you are blind to seeing. This week, we talk about the steps that can be take...

Episode 42 of Dad's Rules!  We decided to go a different direction on this one and talk about my rules on driving and why they probably can't be universal rules. After listening, maybe some of you will come around to my way of thinking. I can only hope so... Like, how do you merge onto the interstate? What is the appropriate speed in each lane? When are you allowed to gape at the accident or...

Melissa Belzer joins me again on location at Menace Underground to go through another prompt deck.  This one is designed for kids. Wouldn't you know it that the every first question felt very grown up? Well, the first Dad's Rules book is about being a kickass adult so we need to get the kids thinking critically early. What do you feel strongly about?  I i feel strongly about kindness. I...

We went back into Menace Underground to record again. This episode is back around the topics coming out of the Date Deck.  This week, the question was Where do you see us in 5 years? This is a huge question that should be asked when you start dating. What if you have different ideas about what happily ever after means? What if you want kids but they don't? You want city life and they want cou...

With 13 podcast in the can, I decided to go live on Wisdom App and record a fresh episode instead. I know it makes no sense. That is just how my brain works sometimes.  Today is a short episode. Just a few things that were on my mind.  First, 3 days are down in the new year. Have you quite your goals and dreams for 2023 yet? Seems crazy, but some will look at any setback and be done. Wav...

When you go to an amusement park, the most exciting rides are always the roller coaster. The ups, downs, twist and turns, whether right side up or upside down are exhilarating.  In contrast, the Ferris wheel is more of a laid back romantic ride, taken at a leisurely pace up into the sky and back down where you get off and continue your stroll through the park.  In the business world, the...

Today, Melissa Belzer is back to talk about S-E-X!!! So, we are finally taking a card from the intimacy deck and talking about sex. The question is, What are some ways we can make sure our sex life and intimacy stays in tact when life gets busy? Lots of relationships faulter because people get busy with life and forget that they still need to keep busy in the bedroom. To get the show back to light...

Today, we have Melissa Belzer on again. In this episode, we go over a question in the Relationship deck. When or where is lack of patience a problem for us? These decks are pretty interesting because they make you have conversations that you have either been avoiding or just hadn't been able to put into words without the prompting of the question. Also, we go off on a tangent about how gross smoki...

Coming in 2023 will be the 2nd book in the Dad's Rules series! I did a reading of it on Wisdom and decided to share the prologue with you all. No corrections. No edits. That is kind of how it goes down on Wisdom where everything is live! However, I think you will enjoy it. The follow up has been a long time coming and we are down to a few things that still need completed before the release. That s...

Today, we go offsite to Menace Underground. If that wasn't enough excitement, we also brought in a special guest star to join in. Melissa Belzer, my real and not made up wife, joins me after 33 solo episodes.  On this episode, we pull a random card from a conversation starter deck and discuss the topic. No prep. No plan. This is either going to be brilliant or a train wreck of an idea. ...

Okay, we are going to try something new. I had additional thoughts about episode 31 after I spoke at a Real Estate Conference. So, I decided to whip out the cell phone and deliver some additional information on my Wisdom channel.  After I sent it out, I got to thinking that this would make for some good additional content for all of you. Let me know your thoughts! Hope you like these. I am th...

This episode will cover 3 takeaways from Dominate Your Real Estate Career Conference that I was blessed to attend and speak at. It is a video that I was sending out to agents, but felt the value applied to anyone in sales.  You're going to have to work. Money isn't going to necessarily come as easily. You may actually be required to go on a few more appointments.  You need to be consiste...
