Getting Your Relationship Sh!t Together w/ Gary John Bishop

"Love is patient, love is blind. . ." Until it's not. Then what? My guest today is Gary John Bishop, who holds the record for most appearances on my this podcast.

Whether you're currently in one, want to be in one, half in–half out, getting over one, married, single, separated, divorced, or just overwhelmed with the whole thing, let's cut through the morass of relationship schtick and put you back in charge.

Through their personal and professional experiences they've realized how desperate parents are to do the best for their kids.

There are constantly times we feel unsure of what to say or how to handle something that comes up with our kids.

Gut Punch Moments with Lee Baucom

In marriage, one of the hardest things is having these gut punch moments where our partner tells us something we aren't ready for, that can even bring us to question every single thing about the relationship. My guest today helps couples overcome those challenges. Lee Baucom, Ph.D. is a 22 year veteran of marriage therapy. His training has been in marriage and family therapy, earning two Master's degrees and a Ph.D. in the area. He has also completed specialty training in Community Building, as well as in Personal and Life Coaching. Lee is an experienced facilitator of health and healing for individuals, couples, families, and organizations. This experience has given Lee a different perspective on why couples have problems, and what the solutions are for these problems. From the beginning, Lee was committed to making relationships work. It is his contention that most relationships are salvageable, and that many take the "easy way out," rather than finding a workable solution that preserves the relationship, leaving the relationship healthy and individuals happy. Lee has been happily married for 22 years, and has two children. Lee is devoted to his family, and sees that as inspiration for his own work with families trying to find health. In addition to family time, in his off-hours, Lee enjoys trail running, mountain biking, and scuba diving. He also pursues flyfishing and is an avid reader with a great deal of curiosity about a number of diverse fields. Show Notes:www.thedadedge.com/364

Decimating the Odds Through Resiliency with Mike McKnight

A few weeks back I spoke at an event called True Transformation in New Jersey and met Mike McKnight. I got to spend time with him and listening to his story was something that I felt totally inspired by because if you look at Mike's life on paper and what he is doing today, he should not be doing anything he is today. It 's remarkable. As men, husbands and fathers, we are faced with adversity and obstacles around every turn. Sometimes we feel like we are faced with adversity and obstacles around every turn, and sometimes we feel like we get hit by them over and over again, like a machine gun and then some is firing at us. We just don't know exactly what to do. Mike McKnight is a professional ultra marathoner. He is a coach and lives in the mountains of Northern Utah. He is the father of two children. He also states that he is the husband to the best wife in the world. In 2012, he had a skiing accident where he shattered his L one vertebrae and had two rods and nine screws surgically inserted into his spine. It was because of this experience that Mike found a love for pushing his limits and running very long distances. He has won and set records at multiple ultra marathons. In 2019, he became the first person to win all three 200 mile races and set course records at each race. That same year Mike went out and ran and set a speed record for the 500 mile Colorado trail.This year Mike will be heading out to try to set a new speed record on the Arizona trail, which is an 800 mile trail. Fatherhood comes with adversity and I just know this interview will shed some light on how to pursue the live you deserve for you and your family. Show notes: www.thedadedge.com/friday44

Overcoming Pandora's Porn Box to Thrive in Life

I have no doubt that today's title really got your attention. Yup. We are opening up Pandora's box and we are talking about this topic and that is porn. porn is one of the most, if not the most addictive thing that a man deals with in his life. This is a topic that men have to feel pretty darn safe to bring up because there's a lot of feelings that come up when we talk about porn:shame, guilt, weakness It's all these things that we label ourselves as and we certainly don't want to have the conversation, but given the right environment, we can have these conversations. When we open up the conversation, we take away the taboo and when you take away the taboo, you actually take away the power that this particular addiction has over us. This is a replay of a podcast I was on called From Porn to Purpose. You will hear me share a story that I have not shared on any podcast, but as I said, given the right environment, one can open up, and that is why I was able to bring it up and be open with you men.

Improving Your Fitness, Fellowship and Faith with Frank Schwartz

Today I am talking to Frank Schwartz. He is the current president of F3. He is also an entrepreneur, but he started this journey by joining F3 with the intent of "not being fat anymore". The complete trajectory of his life would change, however, from that point. He caught the vision of Sua Sponte leadership and in not too long a time, he found himself being asked to help with things at the Nation level. At the beginning of 2020, he began serving as the first ever President of F3 Nation, under the re-organized F3 structure. Because of the dramatic effect of F3 on his life, he founded a leadership training consultancy in December of 2019, called G3L Leadership. G3L takes all the learnings from F3, as well as the training in communication, leadership, and Psychology that Frank has taken in his undergraduate and Graduate studies and puts it all together to help organizations create leaders. Frank has been a successful entrepreneur prior to his starting of G3L, founding LEC Media in 2007, a corporate communications and video firm in Charlotte, NC which served clients like, Bank of America, Electrolux, Honeywell, and others. He also serves in leadership in his church and community, is the husband of his far better half Tracy for the past 20 years and is the father of three wonderful red-headed daughters (ages 16, 14, and 10).
