NATE FEATHERS | Dads Don't Babysit May 30, 2023

Show notes

"I'm babysitting my kids," is likely something a lot of you fathers have used as an excuse or reason not to do something else. I know I certainly have. But we don't really babysit, do we. Babysitting our children implies they aren't our inherent responsibility and that, obviously, is not the case. My guest today, Nate Feathers, makes the case against "babysitting our children," and, instead, shows fathers a better way to approach the relationship between father and son or daughter. Today, we talk about kids mimicking our behavior, the changes in culture with regards to fatherhood, how to bond effectively with newborns, toddlers, and teens, learning to let go of your children, how to keep the relationship (and sex life) with your wife thriving, and why it's not accurate to assume that you're ever "babysitting" your children.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Fathers can be disciplined AND kind
The biological connection between mothers and children
How fathers can bond with newborn babies
Skin to skin contact with your kids
Women take what we give them and make it better
Enjoying your kids through the years
Most guys should provide less structure, not more
Focus on the moment, with your kids and with your wife
Advice for single fathers

GREG SCHEINMAN | Navigating the Midlife Crisis May 23, 2023

Show notes

The mid-life crisis. It's something we've all heard about. Many men have likely experienced it. Typically, the midlife crisis is associated with driving around a sports car from your childhood and trying to land women 10-15 years your younger. But the midlife crisis is a bit more nuanced than that and doesn't require looking or acting like a d-bag to navigate it. In fact, if handled correctly, men's middle years can be some of the most powerful and transformative years of his life. Today, I'm joined by Greg Scheinman to talk about how to make that happen. We talk about overcoming trauma and victimization, what he calls "over-indexing" in certain aspects of your life, six "f's" of life to focus on, the power of purpose, process, and payoff, and how to successfully navigate the midlife crisis.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

Is the word "trauma" overused?
Determine what you need to be doing
The 6 F's: Family, fitness, finance, food, fashion, fun
Causes of the midlife crisis
What can you do to turn things around?
You have to have an action plan
We need to schedule our fun
Lead your family by example
Defining the line of what is acceptable in society
"Authenticity" is not an excuse to be a jerk
Finding the positive in the midlife "crisis"
