As men, we usually are all or nothing. We have the tendency to set extreme goals, and if we have one setback, we take that as proof we can't succeed and give up entirely. But if we practice both self-compassion and accountability, we can forgive ourselves, dust off, and get back on track. Today, we have one of our Dad Edge Alliance Mastermind Commander on the show, Paul Richardson. He's in charge of ensuring the men on his team are executing their plans. Paul says we won't be motivated all the time, and that's okay. It doesn't mean we can't stay on the path to success. Instead of beating ourselves up for the bad days, we must learn to trust the process, asking for help along the way. We can grow at our own pace, forgiving ourselves when we have a setback and loving ourselves enough to be patient. Discover the power of self-compassion and accountability for dads in this short episode!

82% of us hate what we do for a living, yet we do it for 40 hours a week or more. Strangely enough, we wear this misery as a badge of honor, as if the more we hate our job, the more noble we are for suffering through it. But we weren't put here to hate our lives. How much is staying where you are costing you? Today we talk with Dad Edge Alliance Mastermind commander, Sean Hutchins. He used to hate his job, coming home in a bad mood, not showing up for his wife and daughter, and gaining forty pounds. One day he took an objective look at his situation and realized that the cost of staying miserable was much more than the risk of trying something new. Sean decided to take the leap and design his own life. What's possible for you? Listen to how to begin the relentless pursuit of a life you love in this episode!

For many of us, it's a challenge just to get through the day. We're stuck on the hamster wheel, running as fast as we can to nowhere.

The world is not always a safe place, and complacency is deadly. Today we have Mike Glover on the show. He's an ex-Special Forces soldier, the host of the Modern Mindset 365 Podcast, and the founder of Fieldcraft Survival, where he teaches everyday people how to be prepared for any catastrophic event, accident, or natural disaster.

How to know if you've been a good dad? As parents, we often don't know if we're doing the right thing. We want our kids to have honesty, integrity, teamwork, and a good work ethic.

Today I'm going to share a story about a rite of passage experience where my 11-year-old son hiked with me and the Elite Elevation Dad Edge Mastermind to the top of Mount Quandary in Breckenridge Colorado.

As our kids get into their teens, they tend to isolate and become more independent. Their thoughts and feelings grow more complex. Asking them about their day at school is not enough to get them to open up about what's going on inside their heads, and they are not going to volunteer information. How can we better connect with our teenagers? This is a crucial time for our kids, and the quality of our relationships depends on the quality of the questions we ask. If we want our teenagers to feel free to communicate with us, we have to be proactive about getting to know the person they're becoming.

Fight, flight, or freeze. These are humans' three reactions to danger. What tools do your kids have to defend themselves when they are threatened? As parents, we hope our kids will never be forced into this position, but in order to protect them, we must teach them how to stick up for themselves. Martial arts are a great way to give kids the tools they need to defend themselves. They also teach life skills like discipline, perseverance, and courage. It's not just about fighting. It's about empowerment—physical, mental, and emotional. Today we have Dad Edge Alliance member Philipp Lomboy back on the show. He is a martial arts and self-defense expert and the creator of the Everyday Fighter podcast and community. He is also the father of four girls.

How can we detach from chaos and our emotions so we can make the best decisions in our lives? How do we know when it's time to lead and time to follow? How do we apply the balance of leadership and detachment to our family and work life to reach a victorious outcome in any situation? Today we are pumped to have Jocko Willink on the show. He is a former Navy SEAL, powerhouse podcaster, and co-author of The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win with our former guest, Leif Babin. Jocko tells us how to navigate life with a mindset of extreme ownership, humility, and wisdom. He also talks about raising kids with the dichotomy of leadership so that they can become more resilient, independent, and make the smartest choices for themselves.

Today, I pull some listener questions from The Dad Edge mailbox. We're going to cover workouts, morning routines, trips away from the kids, and what it's like to be a change agent in people's lives. I also give a powerful visualization exercise to make sure you're chasing the right vision for your life. No regrets!
