Rewire Your Brain with Dr. Robb Kelly

Dr. Robb Kelly is a world-renowned addiction expert and best-selling author, known as The Addiction Doctor. He has over 30 years of experience in the field of addiction and has helped thousands of individuals transform their lives by breaking free from addiction and taking charge of their mental wellbeing. Today, Dr. Rob Kelly joined Larry Hagner on the Dad Edge Podcast and explored topics ranging from childhood trauma to rewiring neural pathways. Dr. Rob Kelly talks through his program's critical details, including the family aspects, the refund policy, and how it can change neural pathways and brain structures. Childhood traumas and experiences shape most of how we perceive our lives as adults. We tend to keep on repeating patterns that do not serve us even though we know it is not in our best interest. It is a cycle that can lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, and other forms of mental health problems that hinder growth in our personal and professional lives. Dr. Robb's program emphasizes the power of positivity, and how repeating positive actions and habits can change our neural pathways and brain structures despite past experiences. The program involves sessions with psychotherapists and coaches, guaranteeing a refund if the participant does not see a positive change. This program is aimed at facilitating and enabling participants to overcome their trauma and move towards a better version of themselves. Dr. Robb also highlighted the significant role fathers play as nurturing leaders and role models. He advised them to prioritize family over work or distractions, break from negative traits inherited from their parents, and foster a safe and loving environment. Ultimately, childhood experiences can have a profound impact on our relationships and decision-making as adults. Trauma can be passed down from caregivers to children and affect our emotional wellbeing. But, we also learned that healing and breaking free from negative patterns through therapy, support systems, and positive habits can lead to a successful and fulfilling life. www.thedadedge.com/friday109 www.robbkelly.com www.linkedin.com/in/the-addiction-doctor www.instagram.com/addiction_doctor

Why You Should Own the Mental Health of Your Children with Jason Reid

Jason Reid is a successful businessman, coach for CEOs, and founder of over 20 businesses. He is also the founder of the Tell My Story foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed at educating and empowering parents to support their children's mental health struggles. In today's episode, Jason Reid bravely shared the devastating story of losing his 14-year-old son to suicide in 2018. This tragic event has shaped Jason's mission: to eradicate teenage suicide by 2030. He is arming parents with the necessary skills to become better communicators, listeners, and leaders for their children. According to recent CDC data, teenage suicide is now the second leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States, with the pandemic and increased cell phone usage contributing to the surge in mental health issues among the youth. These concerning statistics emphasize the urgency of addressing the mental health of our children. Jason stressed the importance of active listening and creating a safe space for children to express their feelings freely. He pointed out that often, in our attempts to console our kids, we may unintentionally dismiss their feelings, which could have harmful consequences. Recognizing the difference between occasional sadness and persistent symptoms of depression or anxiety is vital. Interestingly, Jason's passion for music and his guitars, symbolizes the need to have personal interests, acting as a reminder that life isn't solely about the hardships but also about the joys that make it worth living. In this urgent fight against teenage suicide, we, as parents, can make a difference by providing support, fostering open conversations about mental health, and teaching our kids to navigate through life's challenges. Through Jason's heartrending story, let's take action to protect our children and their mental well-being. www.thedadedge.com/427 www.thedadedge.com/bark tellmystory.org youtu.be/p24x5mIIMeQ youtu.be/PW7Cx3iYYLk

In relationships, maintaining a strong emotional connection with our partner is crucial. This can be achieved through open and honest communication about our struggles, fears, and insecurities. When we share these intimate details, we create a deeper understanding and a bond that strengthens our relationship. However, life can often get in the way of maintaining this level of vulnerability and honesty. It's easy to put up walls and keep our struggles and insecurities to ourselves, leading to a breakdown in communication and a disconnection from our partner. By embracing vulnerability and open communication, husbands can create a safe and supportive environment where they can connect on a deeper level and provide emotional support for each other. This can help to reignite the spark in their marriage and strengthen their relationship for the long-term. www.thedadedge.com/friday104 thedadedge.com/25questions www.kingsoffreedom.me

How to Become Bully Proof with Rich Grogan

Rich Grogan is a dedicated master martial artist, inspirational leader, best-selling author, and devoted father. As the creator of the Grogan's Bully Proof System and author of "Becoming Bully Proof", Master Rich Grogan aims to empower 10 million kids and adults with hope, faith, and confidence to believe in themselves and stand up to every bully they face, both real and in their minds. In a recent Dad Edge podcast episode with Larry, Rich shares his passion for personal growth, discipline, and self-improvement, focusing on the challenging aspects of parenting and guiding kids through their formative years. As parents, it's natural for us to want to be heroes to our children, shielding them from life's adversities and serving as their role models. However, it's crucial to recognize that our kids need to be the heroes of their own stories. We can act as guides, assisting them in making the right decisions, but they must ultimately find their own balance and become their own heroes. One way to act as a guide is by being vulnerable and transparent with our kids. Sharing our personal experiences, both positive and negative, enables our children to learn from our mistakes and successes. Additionally, providing them with the necessary tools and resources to make informed choices is essential. It's also vital to discuss bullying with our kids and explore ways to prevent it, helping them develop the skills and strategies needed to stand up for themselves and others. In conclusion, parents should strive to be guides, not heroes. Our children need us to support them and equip them with the necessary tools and resources to become their own heroes. While we can provide a safe haven for them when they require assistance, they must ultimately be the heroes of their own stories. www.thedadedge.com/friday102 thedadedge.com/bark grogansbullyproof.com

Consequently, by living unafraid, we can become more confident, courageous, and resilient. Additionally, we can achieve greater success in our endeavors, as we are more likely to take risks and make bold decisions. Ultimately, by investing time in our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical growth, we can become better versions of ourselves and lead more fulfilling lives. www.thedadedge.com/friday101 www.eddiepenney.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpDmiM84LU www.patreon.com/user?u=81573414 thedadedge.com/25questions

Additionally, we can provide our teens with extra coaching and guidance to help them reach their goals.

Working Through Conflict In Marriage and Parenting with Jayson Gaddis

Jayson Gaddis is an executive coach, author, podcaster, speaker, a global leader on interpersonal conflict and connection, and is the founder & CEO of The Relationship School. Today, he joins Larry to talk about his new book "Getting to Zero: How to Work Through Conflict in Your High Stakes Relationships", and discusses the importance of conflict resolution in relationships. Conflict resolution is vital for successful long-term relationships. Whether it's a family, a business partnership, or a team, we have to learn how to work through conflict in order to maintain a healthy relationship. When Jayson talks about "getting to zero," he means that it's our baseline for feeling good and connected. When there's no conflict or unresolved issues, we're at zero. But when conflict arises, our number goes up to one through ten, with ten being the worst. We can be triggered and activated, enraged, or totally shut down. Although Jayson doesn't like conflict, he has a passion for conflict resolution. He's motivated by the bad feeling he gets when he's at odds with someone. He wants to figure out a way to help the average person because conflict resolution isn't something we're taught in school or college. It's a vital life skill that everyone should learn. It's important to remember that conflict isn't always a bad thing. It can be a way to deepen our connection with someone. When we work through a conflict and get to the other side, we have a better understanding of each other and a stronger relationship. thedadedge.com/417 www.relationshipschool.com thedadedge.com/alliance 1stphorm.com/dadedge

You Have Everything You Need to Be a Great Dad with Dr. Meg Meeker

Dr. Meg Meeker is a renowned pediatrician, speaker, and author, best known for her best-selling book "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters". Today, Dr. Meg Meeker joins Larry to explore the crucial role fathers play in their daughters' lives and discuss practical strategies for fostering strong, healthy relationships. Dr. Meeker also shared her wisdom on fatherhood and how dads can tap into their potential to positively impact their children's lives. One way for dads to connect with their kids is through affection. Affection is a powerful way of communicating to a child that they are seen, heard, and understood. It can be as simple as a pat on the back, a hug, or a high five. It doesn't have to take a lot of time, but it can make all the difference. When it comes to expressing your feelings, dads should not be afraid to open up to their kids. Kids need to learn how to express love, be affectionate, and be attentive and listen. Kids don't need to know all the mistakes you made when you were 17, but they do need to know that you have bad days and that it's okay to express your feelings. Overall, dads should recognize the important role they play in their children's lives and strive to connect with them through affection. A little bit of affection can go a long way and can help create a strong bond between a dad and his kids. www.thedadedge.com/friday98 thedadedge.com/bark www.meekerparenting.com Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Dr. Meg Meeker

Family is truly everything and it is this kind of unconditional love and support that allows fathers to be their best selves. When a father is called to pursue a certain path, no matter how difficult, his family is often the first to stand by him and support him. This is exemplified by Matthew McConaughey's experience in his film "Time to Kill", where his family encouraged him to carry on despite the danger. Ultimately, it is this kind of support that allows fathers to pursue their calling and make a positive impact on the world. www.thedadedge.com/416 thedadedge.com/alliance Greenlights by Matthew Mcconaughey

This phrase speaks to the idea that a father should always be a few steps ahead of his teenage children in order to be able to offer them guidance and advice. Dennis mentions that the best way for fathers to stay ahead of their teenage children is to stay engaged with them and be willing to listen to their thoughts and opinions. Dennis adds that fathers should also be willing to ask questions and be open to learning new things. This will help them to stay current with their children and be able to offer them the best advice possible. Finally, Dennis said that as a father, you should be setting an example for your children and teaching them the values that they need to be successful in life. This includes teaching them how to be confident, how to be social, and how to love. By doing this, you will be able to ensure that your children have the necessary skills and values that they need in order to succeed in life. thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/friday97

The Ultimate Guide to Raising Teens and Tweens with Douglas Haddad

Douglas Haddad is an award-winning middle school teacher, international speaker, and best-selling author of the book "The Ultimate Guide to Raising Teens and Tweens: Strategies for Unlocking Your Child's Full Potential". He has taught over 3,000 students in 23 years as an educator, working with children from all different backgrounds and abilities. Today, Douglas joins Larry to talk about his book and gives valuable advice to all listeners, whether they have a direct or indirect impact on a child's life. Raising children can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to the teenage years. However, there are 3 keys that can help parents navigate this difficult period: Love, Listen, and Respect. The first key is Love. Douglas explained that all children desire to feel loved. This is the foundation for a strong bond between parent and child. When a child knows that their parents will always have their back even during difficult times, it opens the door for communication. The second key is to Listen. Douglas noted that children want to be heard and understood. This means more than just hearing what they have to say; it means listening to understand, not to reprimand. It is important to let children know that their thoughts and feelings are valued. The last key is Respect. Children desire to be accepted and respected. When they enter the teenage years, they start to break away from their parents and look to their peers for acceptance. It is important to show respect for the decisions they make, even if they are not what you would choose. When parents show these three qualities, it helps to create a strong bond between parent and child. It also helps children to feel valued and respected, which is essential for their development. By applying these three keys, parents can ensure that their children will grow up to be successful and independent. www.thedadedge.com/415 thedadedge.com/bark Never Give Up No Matter What by Mason Hagner

Raising Good Young Men Through The Father and Son Connection with Luke Entrup

Luke Entrup is a coach, teacher, father, founder of the Contemplative Leadership Institute, and the creator of The Father Son Connection Experience, a rite-of-passage experience for boys aged 10-14 and their father figures designed to help boys navigate the shift from childhood to the teen years, and deepens the bond between fathers and their sons. Luke and Larry discussed the importance of rites of passage—ceremonial demarcations of passing certain stages of life. Luke said that raising good men is a long and arduous process that requires a lot of effort and dedication. He said it is important to remember that connection is the key to raising good men. By providing your sons with a safe and supportive environment to explore and express themselves, you can help them gain the confidence and courage to become the best versions of themselves. It is also important to provide your sons with positive role models. By having positive role models in our lives, you can help your sons to develop a strong sense of self and a strong sense of purpose. We should also provide them with the opportunity to participate in rites of passage and to experience the feeling of accomplishment that comes with it. By providing our sons with a safe and supportive environment to explore and express themselves, we can help them to gain the confidence and courage to become the best versions of themselves. www.thedadedge.com/friday96 www.thedadedge.com/bark www.fathersonconnection.com www.instagram.com/lukeentrup www.facebook.com/lukeentrup www.tiktok.com/@lukeentrup www.linkedin.com/in/luke-entrup-04b68116 www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crazy-wisdom/id1646069640

Mike adds that the pursuit of joy and wonder is a powerful force that can change our lives for the better. It can be found in the little moments of everyday life and in the bigger, more meaningful moments. Joy and wonder bring us closer to our true selves, and can bring us closer to those we love. It is important to remember that life is too short not to have fun. When we are present for our families, we are showing them that we care and that we value our relationships. So, take the time to be present and enjoy the moments that we have with our loved ones. www.michaelrucker.com www.thedadedge.com/414 1stphorm.com/dadedge

Richard Ziegler, a 47-year-old entrepreneur and father of 10 children joined Larry today and shared some lessons he learned from his first long-term relationship of 20 years and his second relationship with his current wife and their 10 children. Richard shared that he has had to learn to focus on what he can control, rather than getting caught up in what he can't control. He believes that this is the key to success and has been using it to make progress in his own life. Richard's advice is to focus on what you can control. This means taking action and doing the things that you know need to be done, even if you don't feel like it. He also suggests using your time wisely. Instead of getting frustrated when you're stuck in traffic, use that time to consume content that will help you grow. Taking action is the key to growth and progress, and it is important to remember this as you work to reach your goals. https://www.facebook.com/richard.ziegler.754 www.thedadedge.com/friday95 thedadedge.com/alliance

Having a purposeful life entails appreciating the people in your life, spending time with them, and ensuring that you are enjoying life to the fullest. It entails reflecting on your objectives and dreams and taking action to make them a reality. Larry's story serves as a reminder that life is precious and should be lived to the fullest. We should strive to live a purposeful life, focusing on the things that bring us joy and enrich our lives. We should spend our life in such a way that we leave a legacy for our children and future generations. Life is too short to spend it worrying about money.

His father was an alcoholic, and the divorce was the result of his father's substance abuse. Drew was left feeling lost and abandoned. As a result, he felt like he had no one to turn to for comfort or support. Enter his stepfather, a patient, steady man with a desire to help. Drew was able to build a trusting relationship with his stepfather by being there for him all the time and being kind.

He is the creator of Always Adventure, a powerful training methodology that helps connect people with their true selves so they can live happier, more fulfilling lives. Andy discussed his mission of "the art of living adventurously". He explained how he was a "crust father", unable to save his son from the pain and suffering he was going through. He was feeling helpless, until he stumbled upon a YouTube video of people riding dirt bikes in the backcountry of Colorado. This sparked something in him and led him to dive deep into the world of adventure motorcycling. Andy then identified five powerful practices with five specific outcomes. The fifth and final practice is seeking excitement. The outcome of seeking excitement is to energize your life and bring more joy and happiness. It is important to be intentional about seeking joy and excitement, as it can be easy to get overwhelmed and forget to take time for yourself. By taking time for yourself, you can recharge and be better able to handle the challenges life throws at you. It is also important to remember that seeking joy and excitement is not selfish; it is necessary in order to be the best version of yourself. https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-way-b65a50167 www.thedadedge.com/friday93
