In this episode, Theophilus talks about who we are as human beings.  We are a complex system encompassing the physical, mental, emotional, social & spiritual .  Our lives are a direct representation of how we steward those 5 dimensions.  Neglect one and the rest eventually fall apart.  Understanding this as a Noble Father will dictate the lives we live and the example we se...

In this episode, Theophilus is wondering what to talk about when suddenly his playful 4-year-old daughter wanders by and we strike up a cute conversation.  I ask her about her life as a 4-year-old tells it, what she thinks of life, and those closest to her.  She's exceptionally articulate for a kid her age and she certainly has personality & spunk.  The audio quality on this epi...

*WARNING*  A loud cough is in this episode. In this episode, Theophilus talks about our actions/inactions as fathers.  Our role as a Noble Father is not to be underestimated.  Theophilus shares about the examples from his own life growing up, how they relate to the life he now has as a father.  By no means is Theophilus a perfect example of what a Noble Father should be like, b...

In this episode, Theophilus talks about his unkempt lawn and how it relates to our personhood, lives & hearts.  This realization helped give new perspective into life and our interpretation of it.  The way Theophilus thinks now is what he calls "Mental Jiu-Jitsu" where simple everyday occurrences and surface-level happenstance matters hold deep philosophical meaning.  There's a...

In this episode, Theophilus draws on an analogy that came to him this week.  So many of us pray for storms to subside and external things to happen so we can excuse ourselves & not change something internal; even though storms are unavoidable.  Rather than hoping for the storm to subside, we should be preparing ourselves, asking for fortitude and facing the storm with courage to come...

In this episode, Theophilus shares a high performance tool that can help fathers keep track of their progress through life in the different categories we all have.  With this tool, we are able to understand our present situations better but also to see what changes need to be made for us to return to a well-balanced life.  The mere fact is, who we surround ourselves with (one of the spok...

In this episode, Theophilus talks about a topic that's come up plenty this week, direction.  Without direction, we're aimless in our pursuits, we'll lack focus in our actions & amount to little or meaningless results.  This isn't only important to us as fathers, but also for our own children & the lasting legacies our example of leadership leaves behind.  Theo talks about hi...

In this episode, Theophilus connects the dots between the book Start With Why by Simon Sinek, the importance of setting intentions in fatherhood, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  The intention & judgments we bring into anything plays a huge part of what results we see in life especially as fathers.  Just another example we have to set as fathers for our children in the way we do life. 

In this week's episode, Theophilus is traveling on a business trip but he speaks about the topic of proactivity or reactivity as it relates to life & fatherhood.  Both of these places dictates the results we see later on in life.  As they say, the best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago, and the next best time is now.  Your decisions now in proactivity, dictates the results yo...

Welcome to Season 2!  With the start of the new school year (late start in Canada), Theophilus is starting off episode 1 with a bang.  In this episode, Theophilus talks about the subject of holes we have in our being that we try to fill with surface-level, external things.  This concept of not fully facing up to our issues and in turn attempting to fill with things is a common pract...

Every month on Noble Father Podcast, Theophilus will interview a father from the Noble Father Community. This particular episode, Theophilus talks to Aaron Griffin, a father of 3, from Indiana.  He was the very first father to signup for the Noble Father meetups & now a valued member of the community and has his own podcast called What Griffs Podcast.  In this conversation, we reflec...

In this episode, Theophilus talks about one of his favorite topics to dive into.  Noble Father is all about ALIGNMENT.  Theophilus breaks down the different "wheels" that make up alignment in this life that all fathers should be aware of.  Not just for themselves, but also for their children, and the betterment of the world around them.  Because when one wheel falls off, the re...

In this episode, Theophilus records in flow state.  Without prep, hitting record and going into the topic of Identity.  When you know your true identity, you're released to pursue your destiny.  Many of us carry what others have falsely said, claimed or projected about us as our identity, taking us off the path towards true destiny.  As fathers, we must demonstrate how to get r...

In this episode, Theophilus taps into his inner high school skills and does a first-half book report on a recommended book given to him by his friend, Andy Menjivar.  The book is called Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink.  The incredibly applicable insights can be distilled & applied by people from all walks of life, whether they're parents, employe...

In this episode, Theophilus talks about the premise of "reaping what you sow."  Not just as fathers, but life is about what we sow.  Nothing good happens from nothing being sowed.  Or like Tony Robbins famously said, "By changing nothing, nothing changes."  Theophilus also gives lessons he's learned in the past and also tips for how you can change the results you're currently s...

In this episode, Theophilus shares about his recent outing with his family and lessons he's learned about opportunity & time through the journey of fatherhood.  Theophilus breaks down time into digestible perspective and provides his tips on how to better utilize it.  But also, if you're looking for a sign to take the opportunity, assume the risk, and chase after something, here it i...

In this episode, Theophilus shares about the most profound improvement he made in his own life and how it impacted his life, his faith, his family, and his business.  The mind is a muscle of its own and if we leave it neglected, the thoughts of all varieties and of all spectrums will overwhelm us.  Increasing our awareness of the negative around us and within, we will only be met with ne...

In this episode, Theophilus talks about masculine vulnerability, the effects of it, and how we all have a part to play in breaking that norm.  Whether you're a father, mother, son, daughter, friend, or stranger, we have an opportunity to take off the falsehood and show up authentically to the benefit of everyone around us.  Our world needs more of our authentic selves.
