Forging Fatherhood

In this episode I talk about a recent argument I had with a friend over something pointless, and how it got me thinking about how we seem to have this need to always be "right", and to openly prove the "other side" wrong. We do this not just with major things, but frivolous things as well.

We need to learn to step back, take a breath, and ask ourself if it really matters and to recognize if we are letting our desire to "be rig...

If you are not actively monitoring and checking your child's phone, you should be! They are deleting texts they don't want you to read, hiding images they don't want you to see, and may even have secret accounts and email addresses they don't want you to know about.  All children hide things from their parents, just like you did when you were a teen.

For several months I have been trying to plan something big that I would like to do to commemorate my upcoming 50th birthday. In this episode, I talk about how this process took on a life of its own, going through several iterations, with roadblocks and failures, until finally landing on the event I am now training for.

In about six months I will turn 50, and I have created some goals that I want to meet by then. These are not your typical "birthday" goals, but ones that focus on a long term impact on my health, fitness, and longevity.

I'm also working on doing some sort of big adventure or accomplishment to commemorate the date!

For several months there has been a darkness, a sense of hopelessness and despair, that has been a constant shadow over my life. In today's episode I open up and talk about that, as well as my struggles with my faith, and ultimately realizing that I needed to answer the question: "Who wrote the narrative you keep repeating to yourself?"

I know I am not alone in this. With an estimated 39,000 male suicides a year in the U.S., it'...

You can live with your family and still be an absentee father. As men, we tend to define ourselves by our careers, by whatever it is we do for a living. But many times our focus and dedication to our jobs takes us aways from our families. 

On today's show I talk about how me being focused on providing a good life for my family may have caused them to suffer from me not being present for them. We'll talk about how "Lego M...
