They say boys will be boys. And when you’re a dad who’s struggling to connect with their sons, it makes you wonder whether you’re handling things the right way. But the truth is, there are so many stereotypes about boys that dads also had to deal with growing up. So when it’s time to deal with their own sons, they either do the same things they witnessed growing up or just completely feel lost about what to do next.The good news is, dads can make a difference in their sons’ lives when they learn to accept that boys don’t always match the image that society has come to expect – and that’s okay.In this episode, Michael talks about how to support boys and their emotional wellness even if that means going against the norm. “A dad has to know, you don’t get a standard-issue boy. When your boy is born, he’s got all the equipment. But you don’t know whether he’s gonna like and fit the image of masculinity.” - Michael ThompsonIn This Episode:Michael shares the story of how he became an expert on the behavior of boysLearn about how stereotypes have impacted the way boys are disciplined at home and in schoolDiscover the impact of dads that are more involved in their sons’ emotional developmentLearn how fathers can support their sons despite cultural stereotypesLearn tips on how dads can better communicate with their sonsLearn how dads can have tough conversations with their sons...and more!Resources:Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of BoysThe Pressured ChildConnect with Dr. Michael Thompson:WebsiteTwitterConnect with Cam Hall:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTubeEmail - [email protected] to join a holistic group coaching call with Cam? - Send him a message on Instagram @fightthedadbods

Marriage means putting two people with different backgrounds and completely different personalities together. Though there are going to be amazing moments when you think things will go smoothly forever, reality will eventually set in and the differences will start to become conflicts that, when left unresolved, could ruin the relationship for good.But marriage will always require work. As with anything else in life, it’s something that you need to be intentional about. It’s all about understanding that you will always be two different people who chose to come together to build a family and knowing that you also need to do some personal work to get the kind of relationship that leaves room for more growth and more love. In this episode, Tony comes back a second time to talk about the factors that impact conflict resolution in a couple’s marriage. “Perception is reality except when there are different expectations thrown in. When you get clarity, you can go, ‘We’re almost at the same spot’.” - Tony DiLorenzoIn This Episode:Tony shares about the impact of his 5-day couples retreat in MexicoLearn about the importance of being intentional with your marriageHear about resolving conflicts within the marriage despite differences in backgroundLearn the roles that the 6 Pillars of Intimacy play in conflictUnderstand the importance of knowing yourself when it comes to conflict resolutionLearn the different ways people respond when a conflict startsUnderstand the conflict cycle and learn how to apply it...and more!Resources:Episode 23: The Making of an Extraordinary Marriage with Tony DiLorenzoThe 6 Pillars of Intimacy: The Secret to an Extraordinary MarriageThe 6 Pillars of Intimacy Conflict Resolution: The Secret to Breaking the Conflict Cycle in Your MarriageConnect with Tony DiLorenzo:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramConnect with Cam Hall:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTubeEmail - [email protected] to join a holistic group coaching call with Cam? - Send him a message on Instagram...

Most of the time, dads struggle to stay real and authentic. They say they want this ideal life and identity but their actions show something different. They want the dream but are not willing to go for it. Even worse, they might not even be honest enough with themselves about what they’re willing to do, what their core motivations are, and what fears lie beneath the surface.Because of this, they take the frustration home. They create a persona that looks good on the outside but is completely different behind closed doors.In this episode, Kyle talks about keeping it real and finding the right motivation to really go after the kind of life that can make an impact not just in one’s own home, but in the lives of others around him as well. “In life, if I wanna learn a trick, I’m gonna take some slams whether that’s in the form of rejection, judgment, losing money, failure.” - Kyle Carnohan In This Episode:Kyle talks about developing a life that can make an impact on othersHear life lessons Kyle learned when he was mastering skateboarding Learn the importance of finishing what you startedLearn how anger can also be a motivating emotion if paired with disciplineDiscover how discipline really worksFind out what finding balance in life is really aboutLearn about common pitfalls guys struggle with...and more!Connect with Kyle Carnohan:WebsiteFacebookInstagramConnect with Cam Hall:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTubeEmail - [email protected] to join a holistic group coaching call with Cam? - Send him a message on Instagram @fightthedadbods

Showing up is one of the biggest challenges that dads struggle with. There are so many things that could impact a dad’s ability to show up – whether it’s a subconscious limiting belief, expectations set by society, or the lack of clear direction that stops one from intentionally taking action.Over time, the inability to show up not only impacts a dad’s confidence in his own abilities and worth as a father, it could also impact the relationship not just with your child, but with other people around you.In this episode, Cam talks about the common reasons why some dads struggle to show up and shares tips on how to be more intentional about showing up for your family and kids. “When I’m nailing my personal habits and I’m in alignment with what I think is important, I know I can show up better.” - Cam HallIn This Episode:Cam talks about talking to dads who are struggling to show upFind out what common themes hold dads back from showing upLearn about the importance of integrityLearn how to be more intentional when you decide to show up as a dadFind out why it’s important to fill your own bucketDiscover the importance of having some quiet time...and more!Connect with Cam Hall:WebsiteFacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTubeEmail - [email protected] to join a holistic group coaching call with Cam? - Send him a message on Instagram @fightthedadbods

Loss is not only hard, but it also requires a different level of mental and emotional strength. At times, we cling to the hope that time will somehow ease the pain until it fades away, only to find out years after, that it doesn’t. It only becomes bearable maybe because you got stronger, but the level of pain and sadness of missing what or who you lost is still the same. Why of all the days and months of the year did I pick Thanksgiving day to talk about loss and grief? It’s because on this very day, 7 years ago, I lost my mom, and I never really had the strength to talk about it like this, until today. So I’m speaking to you right now out of the experience and what I intend to give away from that experience is that pain, though it never gets easy, can feel differently. But, what is the essence of feeling differently? What does “different” even mean? Listen in and let’s start looking at pain a little differently, today."We all go through moments of pain but it's how we come through that pain on the other side that matters.” - Cam Hall&nbsp;In This Episode:I’ll share the things I’m grateful for, todayLearn about the hidden purpose of pain and how to leverage it for growth and learningUnderstand what it means to love others, firstHow to think of loss, not as a loss but as a gainCoping with loss versus coping with success3 big takeaways I learned from my mom's passing that can help shape your life as a father, as a husband, as an entrepreneur, etcThe problem with “different” and how to embrace itMoments that matterResources Mentioned:&nbsp;How Uniqueness Shapes Authenticity with David AskConnect with Cam Hall:Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube Email - [email protected]

But, according to Gareth Nock, a fitness expert and coach, podcast host, and Founder of The Nock Academy, dads can do the necessary work needed to strip off their egos so that they can become a positive force in their children’s lives.

Is the life that we are living now as good as it gets? Are we thriving, or just settling, and if we are thriving, are we doing it at the cost of others? This episode invites dads on an inward journey to see how much our ways, thoughts, values, and beliefs are reflected in the ways we raise our kids. Sam Feeney is a guy who loves to thrive, and he has valid reasons why dads should never settle for the average. As fathers, we set the path to where we lead our children. The best way to teach them, he says, is to model the behavior and values that we want them to embody. That goes without saying, continuous self-improvement and learning are non-negotiables. With learning comes mistakes, trials and errors, and fallbacks that should be normalized more than judged because fatherhood is a journey to growth, not a journey to perfection."I cannot say to my kids, 'pursue your calling, pursue the work that makes you come alive,' and they turn around and say, 'why aren't you?'" - Sam Feeney&nbsp;In This Episode:Here's what it means to thrive…Find out why it’s never okay for dads to settle for just being okayCome clear with your intention on the legacy you want to leave behind for your childrenTrace the root of isolation and how it’s happening at home, and how to break free from it before it’s too lateRecognize the intentional and unintentional ways fatherhood is being attacked by society, most evidently observed on social media&nbsp;These two lag indicators concretely portray how fatherhood has taken a deep dive&nbsp;There are two questions your kids will play in their minds when they turn into adults, and the question they choose to embrace depicts the fatherhood you allowed them to experienceEvery blame-worthy situations come with responsibility situations, and along with these responsibility situations are golden nuggets most fathers often miss.

In this episode with Christine Bright, we learn from the perspective of a woman, a mother, and a parenting and family coach about how we can make a difference in the lives of our children and our family‌. Christine is an acclaimed Therapeutic Foster Parent, author, and internationally Certified Parenting and Family Coach, whose clients include parents of children with violent and suicidal tendencies. She shares how words can make or break a child and leave an irreparable dent in their character formation. She highlights the need for change in the way society treats dads and the expectations set on us, especially in the eyes of our children. She argues that there are narratives that need to be questioned because they are teaching the audience the wrong ideas about fatherhood. So, dads, let’s break free from these misconceptions and re-learn our ways around fatherhood because this role, though HUGE, is also beautiful.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Emotions don't need to be fixed, they just have to be acknowledged." - Christine Bright&nbsp;In This Episode:Christine puts emphasis on the fact that words do matter, particularly how those words are saidWe look at the fight for gender equality in a different light and how it has put men in a defensive stance, where they are judged as part of a “majority” and not as individualsHumor is great until it is harmfulUnderstand the gravity of the narratives we choose to listen to and buy intoWanting to fix "bad" emotions right away could cause more damage than ignoring emotionsTo be an “influencer” in your home doesn't mean being “controlling” to others&nbsp;Learn the pre-requisite of influence, and how allowing room for vulnerability is key in establishing this pre-requisiteBeing a dad doesn’t mean being perfectResources Mentioned:&nbsp;Get your FREE copy of the WIN AT PARENTING PLAYBOOK Connect with Christine Bright:WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedIn Email - [email protected] with Cam Hall:FacebookInstagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube

What does it take to be a man? In a world where men are expected to be stronger and less emotional, are they entitled to a haven where they feel safe and accepted, not only as a man but as human beings with flaws and imperfections? Paul Edwards shares his stand on masculinity in raising sons and being a model they can emulate as they grow up. The Founder of The Reluctant Thought Leader made an experiment on how to handle similar situations using a different approach, and the result has changed his view of fatherhood and leadership for good. Today, he gets to share his journey as a father to his boys and a leader of the community, and the valuable insights he’s learned along the way. "I can own my bad decisions in front of them and it doesn't degrade me in their eyes, it doesn't lessen me or make me any less worthy of respect." - Paul Edwards&nbsp;In This Episode:Examine how fatherhood translates to leadership at homeTaking a different approach to similar situations can make all the difference we neededIn every action we take and every decision we make, it’s important to put the WHY at the forefront&nbsp;Discover the importance of following through on your wordsIt is important to realize that masculinity doesn’t mean incapacity for weakness, emotions, and imperfectionsRecognize how masculinity is shown in various forms and situationsTaking ownership of the masculine components of a relationship is equally important as not imposing it and allowing your partner the chance to exude her feminine energyRealize the greatest gift fathers can give their kids, which can serve as the foundation for the kind of men they will become for their future wives and kidsResources Mentioned:&nbsp;Aaron WalkerConnect with Paul Edwards:LinkedIn Website Facebook PodcastConnect with Cam Hall:Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube
