Somebody’s Dad (Just Figuring It Out)

You let em stay up later than usual, you stop and get em a little something at the gas station, you let em' have desert on a week night... And how do they repay you? They tell your wife!!!! Give a listen to a few lessons I learned when dealing with kids who commit the crime, but don't do the crime lol

Summa Summa Summa Summer Time!!! We're halfway through the 12 months, and, generally speaking, around this time of year, folks actually have a second to reflect. And if you are gonna look back, do it the right way. Listen up, you might learn something - and maybe UNlearn some things too! #Reflection #Evaluation #Chocolate #Perspective #Sexy #Comparison #Grace #SmallWins

I'm all in my feels ya'll... They grow up so fast; its no wonder we get attached to who they were just in time to look up and see them become who they'll be. The last day of school was a trip; but a trip not without its take aways. Listen in and see if you can find meaning in the midst of all the mushy stuff lol.

Crap can come outta nowhere!!! And when it does, you gotta figure out how to handle the fallout. You have deal with what has to be put on pause, adjust what you can and can't do while dealing with whatever it is; and somehow still keep it moving - cause life doesn't stop. All the while, you're wondering, "Is this gas or something else? And do I wanna risk it"?

Thursday IS OUR DAY!!!! It must be. Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest in the Europa League Semi-Final second leg. Momentum, Familiarity, Set backs and come backs, Leadership... Even down 1-0, it aint over til its over. Take a listen to how you and Aston Villa are not so different. And maybe the boys from Birmingham wont be the only ones to win big!

So you're BUILT DIFFERENT huh? Sure you're not just saying that because of the company you keep? Maybe you are a cut above, but don't forget, there's no such thing as self-made. And come to think of it, who have you built up lately. This episode takes a look at a statement we here quite often... and 3 things we might wanna consider before we use it again.

Ya'll... This week has been hectic, confusing, frustrating, productive, tiring, and after you throw in a dash of awesome... It's been a lot. And yet... Maybe, just maybe, "A Lot" of week is exactly what we need (not every week tho).

Ya'll, Helping with driveline every morning has definitely taught me one thing You can Feel How You Wanna Feel....literally. See how "acting" a little different can change more than you think.

Ya'll, I'm Old School Some things just don't make sense. But hey, just because I don't get it doesn't mean its not a thing. Just a quick bonus episode with a concise, possibly confusing ending.

A lot can change in 16 weeks. But not with half effort. Not with inconsistency. And not by trying to fix everything at once. Plan it. Write it. See it. Execute it. Make mistakes. Fall down...but Finish! Let’s get to work.

I know something you don't know. A hypothetical future talk with my daughters about men, the internet, the perspective of women they've hurt, and the awesomeness of a confident woman...and some things about their dad that they may or may not care to know.

Another Weekend, Another Competition/Convention Sprinkle in a little St. Patty's day cleavage, crazy kids, highway headaches, and a dash of bad pizza, and you've got the makings of an interesting weekend...with a few lessons for added flavor. #DanceCompetition #Parenting #OnTheroad #Grace #pizza #ChooseYourBattles

Being a Dance Dad isn’t for everyone. There are the big emotions. The miles of travel. The money, the time, and the never-ending schedule. You’re part chauffeur, part life coach, part emotional support system… and somehow also expected to keep your sanity. But somewhere in all the chaos, you're teaching lessons about commitment, resilience, and showing up for yourself and the people you love....

Is it really that hard? Or are we just thinking about it too much? At some point, you’ve got to stop analyzing and start doing. And even if it is hard… Since when did that mean you shouldn’t do it? Hard things build better people.

As an Aston Villa Fan, my focus is on seeing our club rise to higher heights season upon season. But this year's January transfer window brought both transfers and take-aways; not least of which, from the firing of Tottenham Hotspur manager, Thomas Frank. Life lessons can come from anywhere, including the Premier League.

"Most people aren’t scared of failing… they’re scared of looking stupid." Embarrassment is rarely talked about — but it controls more of our decisions than we admit. Maybe the solution isn’t avoiding embarrassment. Maybe it’s risking it more often. Learn the "Embarrassment Equation" and see if it can help you solve a few problems once and for all.

Sometimes the smallest moments carry the biggest lessons. In this episode, a simple haircut turns into a reminder about time, empathy, gratitude, and the quiet gift of being present with the people we love — especially our parents. If you’re lucky enough to still have them, cherish the now. If you don’t, may this episode take you to the moments and memories you hold so dear.

This episode breaks down how excellence is found in the details, why playing small never works, and why running from hard decisions only delays real growth.

This episode challenges you to begin with the end in mind and treat today like what it is: the first step toward the life you imagine.

There needs to be a standard for men. We will talk about our feelings instead of burying them. We will hold women in the highest regard — no debate. We will take care of ourselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And we will forgive ourselves. Not just for us — but for everyone who loves us, and everyone whose life we haven’t even impacted yet. We are worth the standard. We need...

Fear thrives in hesitation. Confidence grows in motion. In this episode, we talk about why action — even imperfect, inconvenient action — is the fastest way forward. Action gives clarity, builds resilience, and prepares you for what’s ahead. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this episode might be it.

Just because you have something to say doesn’t mean you need to say it. Yes, you might be right. Yes, your advice might be solid. But if it’s negative, unrequested, or unhelpful… silence might be the better choice. Freedom of speech is real. But necessity of speech? Not so much. A reminder for all of us — who’ve ever left an essay in the comment section, laid down an opinion that no body wanted to...

Imagine giving a wedding speech to your future kids that actually lasts longer than the reception night. Here are the 3 lessons I hope they carry through life: Control your attitude and your actions; cause you can't control anything else. Your partner will grow and change — accept it, embrace it. Be a peninsula, not an island — stay connected. These reminders aren’t just for newlyweds. They’re...

Thanksgiving brings travel, family, good food, and plenty of chaos—but it also brings space for reflection. In this episode, we dive into the real things we don’t always talk about: • The BS that missed us • The people who love us • The hard things we overcame • The distance we’ve traveled between who we were and who we are • The future we can shape—and the peace that comes with releasing what we...

Difficult conversations, especially with people you care about, aren’t just hard for the person listening — they’re tough for the one speaking too. But avoiding them doesn’t protect you. It often creates more distance, more assumptions, more misunderstandings, and more silent pressure. Even if a conversation doesn’t end with smiles or solutions, clarity is still better than confusion. Sometimes it...
