In this episode I welcome Brian Young. Brian has 4 daughters and he’s the author of the book “Thriving Girl Dad: A Dude’s Guide to Raising Daughters.” A major theme of his is not just to survive, but how we can thrive as men, husbands, and fathers. It was a great conversation. Stick around after the interview for my takeaways.

I loved how Brian talked about making intentional time, even excusing himself from a business dinner, to connect with his daughters. In what ways are you and I prioritizing our family? How can we model our values to others? That’s what I’ll be reflecting on.

From Jordan on Twitter: “Girl Dad Nation has really helped me grasp how to navigate being a girl dad in terms of trying to connect a young females' emotions with a grown male's emotions. Without a doubt, the biggest thing I've taken from Matthew and his guests is that at the end of the day, the most important thing that my daughters need to know is that they are noticed, they are valued, and they are loved; no strings attached.”
Thank you Jordan! He has been a long time listener of the podcast and I really appreciate it!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
