Why Men Are Better Together Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

Today I'm sitting down with everyday dad and alliance member, Mike. He's having a great time now being a father, but it wasn't always this way.

Mike is the father of an 8 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. When his son was first born, he couldn't understand why he didn't feel a connection to his baby. He thought something was wrong with him but was afraid to tell anyone about it. As his kids grew, his noticed his patience was thin, and he was worried he'd end up being "the dad that yelled a lot." He was also afraid that he wouldn't have all the answers to the questions his kids asked, and he suffered chronic anxiety. This was a huge catalyst for change.

One of the hardest things for men to do is ask for help, but Mike was tired of doing life on his own. He didn't want to lean on his wife for everything either. That's when he made himself a priority and joined The Dad Edge Alliance.

Listen to Mike's journey, and why men are better together!

Ruari talks about rewiring your brain and changing your relationship with alcohol. Whether it's the occasional binge or a few daily beers after work, alcohol has a huge impact on your mental and physical wellbeing.

Raising Financially Responsible Kids May 23, 2019

Show notes

Money is a generational issue. Most of us weren't taught it, our parents weren't taught it, and our grandparents weren't taught it. Unless we break the pattern, our kids will have the same issues, overspending on credit cards and not investing enough to provide a secure future.

What lessons are you teaching your kids about money?

What about personal accountability, savings, and investing?

How do they see you spend money?

There is a balance between money management and enjoying life. We don't have to teach a scarcity mindset for our kids to be money smart.

Today we talk to a special guest who tells us his dad's approach to raising financially responsible kids and how it made him leagues ahead of his peers of the same age.
