#39 | TERRAN WILLIAMS | You can't make up for lost time: Be a great DAD now! Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

We can't exchange the moments we have now with our children for times we may or may not get to have with them in the future.

We should put the same amount of planning, effort and commitment (if not more) into being there for our children and for our own sake, so we can look back at a life well lived by making our priorities our priorities. Don't wait, be a great father now.

DADSTOIC | MORTALITY Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day … The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.” — Seneca

#38 | LEROY FAURE | How to live the fit dad lifestyle Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

It seems that when a lot of us become fathers, time is at a premium and we don't feel we have the time to keep fit and healthy, still follow our dreams and keep up sports and hobbies. My guest today has made it his job to encourage fathers to ask themselves tough questions that will help them realise that in fact, they do have time to make things happen and to adopt the fit dad lifestyle. How much time do we spend watching Netflix? How much time scrolling through Instagram and Facebook on our phone? How much time do we waste on things that don't add value to our lives, but instead rob us of making the quality connections and memories with our kids? We hope the conversation inspires you to take stock of your minutes, hours, days and weeks and recalibrate your life so that you can be the example for your kids of a life well-lived.

DadStoic | One Stoic Thing Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

"To be everywhere is to be nowhere". - Seneca

"If you seek tranquillity, do less." - Marcus Aurelius.

Even when it comes to practising Stoicism we can focus on too much knowledge, as well as too many techniques and practices at once. I am learning that it is wiser to select one aspect and practise and meditate on it until I have mastered it and it has altered my thinking, behaviour and state of mind.

ARENA Q&A : High conflict exes | Kids that drive you crazy | Structuring the day for success Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Anthony Codispoti, Alan Placer and Thomas Kingwell answer your questions on fatherhood.

#37 | ALAN ANDERSON | Fathers lives Matter: Fathers shouldn't have to fight to be in their children's lives Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

As fathers, we can find ourselves severely disadvantaged post-divorce, especially when it comes to navigating the family court system. In this episode, my guest Alan Anderson discuss these challenges as well as the emotional trauma they can cause men. Alan is the founder of Fathers Lives Matter movement and host of Father's Truth podcast. Able to make his way through the manner barriers laid in his path, Alan came out of the other side of the family court system with full custody of his son. This took time, effort and huge sacrifice to bring about, and I hope that any dads out there listening will pull inspiration and knowledge to further their need to be in their children's lives and that others that listen come away with a clearer idea of what is happening and be motivated to stand with fathers and children that are disadvantaged by the system.

DAD ARENA | Breaking the teenager ice wall, finding time for family & relocation challenges Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Alan Placer, Anthony Codispoti and Thomas Kingwell answer your questions on fatherhood.

How do you as a step-dad break through the ice wall teenagers put up? How do you balance all the areas of your life when you have a baby and a physically tiring job? What advice would you give kids who are relocating and leaving their sport's teams behind? What activities can you do with your teenage daughter?

#36 | CHRIS BELL | Positive Focus, Learning to be your own friend & moving from Stressed to Stoic Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, avid scuba diver, engineer and above all dad and stepdad shares his experiences of becoming a step dad, navigating his way to becoming a better friend to himself and how he is doing his best to focus rather on the countless positives we can find in each day instead of letting these be overshadowed by the few negatives that arise. We also talk about how getting out into nature is so vital for our kid's positive development. Chris' daughter joins the call in the background as we delve into how Stoicism and adopting the practices, techniques and wisdom helps us in keeping things in perspectives and serving our priorities'. We end the call discussing how the media, social and otherwise is paying a role in the teenage years being increasingly confusing.
