Have you ever felt like you were living the wrong plan?

Today I am talking with Heidi Dusek who felt that same way in her early 20s and decided to do something about it.

She flipped the script on her life, starting living according to a new plan of her own design. Adventure was a keyword she decided to weave into her life as she rebuilt her life from the ground up.

Heidi is here to tell us about living as a family through adventu...

Do you have daughters?

 When my first daughter was two years old, remember learning about the role I played in her life and it woke me up to the important responsibility that I have been her dad. And now the dad of two daughters and 10 years into this journey, I am still learning and making mistakes. But this is how we learn, we grow and improve. 

 The measure of the men she goes into the world to find will b...

To decide means one choice has to die.

I recently learned that we avoid making decisions because to decide means one choice has to die. That the word decide has the word -ide in it and similar words like genocide and suicide where it means death.

Today I am talking with John Spencer who is now retired from the Army after 25 years. John and his wife met in combat in Iraq in 2009 and were a dual military family for almost 8 y...

What will we leave behind?

 This is a common theme of this podcast and today's guest goes right at the heart of the matter.

Our guest Allen Carter started a habit of writing his kids a letter each month in there teenage years

The letters cover an amazing array of life lessons that also show an intimate glimpse of one family's life journey. All families have the same challenges and it is this connection that makes the book endeari...

What are you holding back?

Today I am talking with Chris Hamm and we dive into a deep conversation about family, archery, healing, community, and growth.

What we are holding back can often be the one thing that needs to be released in order for us to come home to our families. Doesn't matter if its war, service, or a really bad thought.

Chris is not a Veteran but archery has been a part of his life since he was ...

How we live is how we will be remembered.

Today I am talking with Ryan Lonergan who has a story about living, pain, and legacy that we all need to hear. 

Ryan grew up without a father and even joined the Army in the hope to find him. After finishing his military service Ryan's life was about to get harder. After a deployment to Iraq, he came home and started an internal war inside with himself. After two failed su...

If you are a new Dad how is it going?

The standard answer is good and fine for most Dads, but often that is far from the truth. Our schedules are changing, we are tired, work still expects us to perform at the same level and we often are just running on fumes. 

Today I am talking to John Wayne Mullins a leadership coach, he spent 17 years with the Coast Guard reserve, and is a new Dad who has taken what he learned in his ca...

How are you going to be remembered?

With life being so busy these days, we often don't think about these questions unless someone in our family dies, and we, for a short few days, remind ourselves of the fragility of life. 

But we often quickly get back to our busy lives and forget about making an intention to ensure we do something worth remembering. 

Today I am talking with Ken Wimberly. Ken is the founder and visiona...
