Embrace the reality that within you have amazing parenting strengths that are derived from your zone of genius. Get off the idea that there are perfect parents. Avoid the "cult of comparison" that comes from social media.

Ep 207Unlock Your Love for Your Family

Yesterday, my family interrupted my work countless times. For months, it has been this way. The kids schooled from home during the lockdown. Now they're mostly summering at home, too, as most of their typical summer programs are still on lockdown. Every few minutes, there is something they need. "Dad, where is the soft bread?" "Can you log me on to the computer?" "What's for lunch?" "Do I really have to go outside?" "Can we come back in and watch a movie?" "I've only been outside for thirty minutes?" "Can I come back in after thirty-five minutes?" "Daddy, lookit!" Yesterday, I interrupted my work for them begrudgingly. I tried to hide it. I tried to be patiently responsive. I didn't yell. I didn't shame. I didn't tell them how much I wanted to be left alone. After all, they didn't ask to be a child in the age of coronavirus. So, I thought I did a pretty good job not punishing them for their circumstance. I subtly gritted my teeth, smiled a little tightly, and got through it without doing anything that might warrant a therapy appointment somewhere down the road. This morning, though, during my meditation, I saw something else. I saw that yesterday I'd been on autopilot, prioritizing my work over my family. Yes, some days this absolutely has to happen—boundaries are a good and necessary thing sometimes. However, yesterday wasn't one of those days for me. Yesterday, my work was interruptible, but I'd absentmindedly chosen to see them as the interruption of my work life, rather than seeing my work as an interruption of my family life. So, today, I set the intention of interrupting my work for them gladly. When they interrupted me, I chose to see it as an opportunity to attend to the people l care about most. Several "interruptions" in, my wife looked at me with a grateful smile and said, "You love us this morning, don't you?" The truth is, I don't love them any more than yesterday. I've simply set the intention of responding to them so that my love can actually be seen and felt. In the end, intentionality is as important as love, because it's the key that unlocks our affection for our people. There are lots of ways to be intentional about loving our people better. Meditation. Reading. Therapy. But I can't think of a better way to be intentional about this most important of endeavors than the upcoming "Evolve as a Father" Front Row Dads Online Summit. Every time I've met in person with a Front Row Dad, I've come away a more intentionally loving father and husband. I've come away unlocked. And I know a few thousand pixels between us isn't going to change that. I'll be there on August 20. I hope you will be too. Let's get unlocked.

Ep 189Why Kids Need Biodiversity: The Warfare on Germs & Isolation with Zach Bush [Encore]

trailer

Zach Bush and I chat about why needs biodiversity on this quick encore episode. Did you notice the warfare on germs and isolation? Health is not complicated, it's not expensive, it's not something that comes from a bottle or a textbook. Health is intrinsic to life. As humans, we have gotten away from the truth. We have forgotten that we are inherently built for health and longevity. And today's guest, Zach Bush MD, is here to talk all about it. Zach is a triple board-certified physician applying the rigor of science, the strength of humanity, and the intelligence of nature to transform the world. We chat about his approach to treating disease, the identities and labels we manifest around health, surrendering human constructs, the importance of showing up big for our family, and so much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Choosing to see your kids as teachers The transformation, healing and journey of getting remarried The uncomfortableness of being eyes wide open Why exploring the world and understanding the power of multigenerational community is for children Preventing our own extinction through a reconnection to nature and relationships How to reflect the beauty of others, and demonstrate the beauty of self Evolving through a pattern interrupt: Heartbreak recovery and self evaluation How Zach evolved as a man and as a father Rethinking the Battle Mentality of Man Making mother nature a part of the family The dangers of over-sterilization of our home environments and why washing hands might be hurting more than helping What biodiversity taught Zach about life at home Blow the walls off the box our kids are being put in to What people need to surrender and what paradigm they need to shift Pride is poison: Being in awe of your children versus being proud of them QUOTES "If you see the beauty, then you will experience love" - Zach Bush, M.D. "A relationship is about allowing life to happen in your partner" - Zach Bush, M.D. "We have to surrender the human constructs to realize a deep powerful truth that we are alive" - Zach Bush, M.D. "Refuse to let the school systems or the social pressures keep your kids in the box.

Ep 1843 Things Every Dad Should Know with Hal Elrod

Today, I'm speaking with Hal Elrod about the 3 things every Dad should know. And within those big buckets, we hit on so many valuable sub topics, including marriage, affirmations, mindset, Father's Day, the weekly picture program, praising your spouse and kids, and so much more! In our conversation, you'll learn how to reprioritize your life so you can thrive in your most important roles: Human, Entrepreneur, Husband, and Father KEY TAKEAWAYS: Being VS Doing Redefining your routines The blueprint for creating your ideal life Looking at Father's Day differently Ways to praise - both your spouse and kids! Unconditional commitment for your spouse Scheduling morning time About Hal Elrod Hal Elrod is on a mission to Elevate the Consciousness of Humanity, One Morning at a Time. As the author of one of the highest rated books in the world, "The Miracle Morning" (which has been translated into 27 languages, has over 2,200 five-star reviews and is practiced daily by over 500,000 people in more than 70 countries)… he is doing exactly that. What's incredible is that Hal literally died at age 20. His car was hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped beating for 6 minutes, he broke 11 bones and woke up after being in a coma for 6 days to be told by his doctors that he would probably never walk again. Not only did Hal walk, he ran a 52-mile ultra-marathon and went on to became a hall of fame business achiever, international keynote speaker, author, and grateful husband & father-all before he turned 30. Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again – his kidneys, lungs, and heart were failing, and he was diagnosed with a rare, and very aggressive form of leukemia. After enduring the most difficult year of his life, battling cancer, Hal is now cancer-free and furthering his mission as the founder of The Miracle Morning book series, host of the "Achieve Your Goals" podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE event, and Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning MOVIE – a documentary that reveals the morning rituals of some of the world's most successful people. Hal is grateful to be alive and living his mission alongside his wife and their two young children in Austin, TX.
