My 12 year old son, Tiger, is starring as Daddy Warbucks in his school's production of Annie. He's learning all about how to use his diaphragm to project his voice, so he can perform in front of a room full of 1,000 people.
Not only is he figuring out how to sing, but he's consciously creating a winning environment—a topic I discuss with today's guest, Mark Lachance.
Mark is the author of The Lucky Formula: How to Stack the Odds in Your Favor and Cash in on Success, which is his proven process for engineering a high performance life.
In our discussion, we talk about manifesting luck, taking advantage of life's opportunities, and cultivating an environment for our kids to be in the proximity of success.
Check out this episode if you want to learn about how to attract luck and fortune in your family's life. Mark has also graciously gifted our listeners with an extra surprise, which you can find here!

About 6 years ago, there was this piercing moment when my wife told me that I'm more of a moment maker for other people than I am for my own family—a wake up call for a drastic change... and the birth of this podcast.
As someone who's struggled with vanishing into my pursuits, a compulsion that can swallow you whole, I know how important it is to reassess where you're at for yourself and your family.
Which leads me to today's part 2 conversation with Jonathan fields…
He's talking to us about how knowing our deeper self can change our approach to parenting, and help us become aware of the impulses that drive us.
Check out this amazing episode, as it will teach you a lot about yourself, trust me. And If you've missed out on part one of this episode, check it out here.

As I get older there's a lot less fear around being myself. I've become conscious of my truest nature and don't feel the need to seek approval from others. This has allowed me to feed my curiosity for learning while also being present for my kids, Tiger and Ocean.
My guest, the very humble Jonathan Fields, is talking about this exact change in self-perception, something he refers to as your Sparketype.
He believes that we change in depth, quality, and self-awareness as we get older—a shift that he talks about in his new book, SPARKED: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work That Makes You Come Alive.
Jonathan is a speaker, award-winning author, and creator of multiple businesses. Today he takes a deep dive into our states of mind and shows us how we can come alive at work and at home.
Jonathan shares his thoughts on identity, his organic life lessons, and helps us balance the spectrum of fulfillment—something that we all struggle with as entrepreneurial dads.
Tune in to this amazing conversation that I know will spark your inspiration.

So much of our progress is based on our time to think. It's built in the recovery process and the time your body has to reflect.
I think these trends of excellence and patterns of progress are foundations to our success as dads.
On today's part 2 of a 2-part episode, we've got Andrew Kuhn and Matt Drinkhahn talking about effective implementation on the boundaries we make.
How do we learn new things and implement them into our calendars for our families and businesses?

A friend of mine reached out to chat the other day. And as much as I love to chat, I really just wanted to tell them that I had no time. Absolutely none. And that's hard for me.
I don't know about you, but time management and scheduling in my calendar really kicks my ass sometimes.
How do we actually get everything done in our schedules and then have time to be dads? How do we learn to set boundaries around saying no to certain things?
Luckily, we have Andrew Kuhn and 'Coach' Matt Drinkhahn on today's two part episode talking to us about what's proven to be effective in our calendars, where we fail, and how we learn from that.
These two family men are successful business owners, and members of Front Row Dads. Matt is a coach for recovering perfectionists and highly functioning workaholics, while Andrew is the owner of a real estate investment company—and they're absolutely killing it.
They teach us about integrity in keeping our commitments, and knowing when to break the rules surrounding the boundaries you've made for yourself if something just isn't working.You can't buy time and what takes up that time is important. If you've ever struggled with figuring out the ebb and flow of work-life integration, you won't want to miss today's episode!

What if…
Instead of helping your kids see the world differently, you try to see your kids' world differently?
This idea comes from my two-part episode with Philip Mott, which is all about homeschooling and consent based learning.
Philip Mott is the author of Principles of the Patient Parent, and elementary teacher turned homeschooling father.
He shares his struggles with school growing up, and how he started to associate learning with pain, frustration, and being looked down on— something I never want my kids to feel while learning.
As someone who never quite vibed with the educational system myself, the topic of alternative education is one I want to consistently explore.
Philip and I cover lots of ground, including — curiosity, consent, and recognizing the storyline of your kids.
Philip teaches us that there shouldn't be a difference between learning and living and wants to shift your mindset around how to educate your kids.
If you've ever considered a different approach to your kids schooling, I promise you won't want to miss this 2-part episode!

Lately I've been wanting to wake up and have the first 10 minutes of my day to be full of nothing. Whether it's refraining from opening my phone, making a to-do list, or sending off an email, I'd really prefer a moment to sit on the couch, or snuggle with my kids and listen to a children's audiobook.
And maybe we're all moving a little too fast. As fathers, especially ambitious entrepreneurial dads, it's easy to put speed into your family life; having a workaholic approach to parenting. But that's not how it should be.
What if we stopped trying to fill up that time, slowed down, and just experienced being in the moment?
On today's episode, we have the very inspirational Carl Honoré, who talks about exactly that.
Author of four books, a two-time TED speaker, broadcaster, journalist, and voice of the Slow Movement, Carl has delivered his insight on the benefits of being slow to millions across the globe. A free-range child of the 80's, Carl had a slow childhood, and tries hard to give that same upbringing to his two kids. In a time when life is so fast, that's easier said than done.
He shares his thoughts on how in a world of speedoholics, we should be connecting with our inner tortoise so that we can live our lives and be present for our family.
Carl wants us to know that being slow isn't just about taking forever to do something. It's about the right speed. It's about finding your tempo and being present in the moment. It's about how you bring balance to your family.
Carl tackles the topic of societal pressures put on parents to deal with their child's boredom, and argues that the point of unstructured time is exactly when they learn how to be creative and do things that form their identity—which is critical to their development.
As a dad who has felt those same pressures to find something to do, instead of letting my kids figure out how to fill that space, I can tell you this conversation was an eye opening experience.
If you're like me and have been feeling like you're racing to the finish line but missing out on those small moments with your kids, I promise you that you won't want to miss out on today's episode.

Gentlemen, I want to share two quick stories with you today. This is a short episode about the lies that we tell ourselves and a realization that I had after our big move into our new home.
After reading my friend John Ruhlin's Facebook post, it really hit home and inspired me to jump on the microphone today. I'm sure many of you can relate to this as well. Enjoy!
