The first school shooting I remember watching on the news was the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech. I was in Mr. Walker’s art class and in the 15 years since, nothing has seemed to change.
2 days after the school shooting at Robb Elementary, I was scheduled to interview a man I admire so much, Mike Chu. I wanted to ask him about his experience of being a dad as an entrepreneur, what it’s been like to raise 2 young girls in today’s day and age, and how he’s been showing up as a dad since the passing of his father.
I wanted to pick his brain about all of this and more but all I could think about in the short time leading up to our interview were the families who lost their kids earlier in the week.
All of my questions felt insignificant to the matter.
Mike, however, is a powerful leader and coach.
Knowing that, I wanted to know how he’s been showing up for his fiancé and daughters in the time since the shooting and how he’s showing up during these uncertain times.
We don’t talk about anything political. We talk about being a dad.

I didn't have much time with my dad growing up, so I figured that a great dad needed to be home every day.
This was not the case with Matt.
As I was speaking with Matt in our previous episode, he mentioned his dad was a firefighter and that he has a great relationship with his dad.
In the United States, most firefighters work on a schedule where they live in the firehouse and are off from work for a certain amount of days of the week.
If you're interested in seeing how an irregular schedule can still help you be a great dad, watch this.
Have you and your partner been trying to have a baby, but you seem to not be able to?
Are you concerned about your baby being born prematurely and staying in the NICU?

I met Matt in 2018 and he runs Baseball Education Center with my good friend Paul Reddick.
Matt is a really good man and he shares his experience of being a dad to his 1 year old son, the journey to becoming a father, and the challenges he's faced and overcome with his wife as a new dad.

I am grateful to share today’s episode with you because it is with a mentor of mine who has helped me grow tremendously this past year.
I met John Patrick Morgan in 2021 when I was looking for a new coach, and I’ve learned so much about how to BE the man who creates everything that I want.
Today I’d like to share with you what John has taught me with being a father, and I will lead with a powerful idea he shared with me 30 minutes in:
If there were no cultural rules that say you should be a certain way as a dad, how would you show up if you could be any dad that you wanted to be?

ATTENTION STEPDADS: If you are struggling with your relationship with your step child, or you have trouble with their dad, you need to read every single word.
Being in a relationship has its own challenges. Add in other people's exes and children and the challenge sometimes feels impossible.
There is no roadmap to being a dad and we all know too well that being a man isn't enough to be called a Dad.
I am not going to reinvent the wheel and learn what it's like to be a dad on my own, so I'm constantly reaching out to other fathers.
However, when I come across a father I'm thinking about connecting with and learning from, I ask myself:
"Are they a good example of the kind of fatherI want to be?"
When it comes to Jason Soto, the answer to that question is an automatic YES.
I invited Jay onto the podcast again because I wanted him to specifically share his experience as a stepdad.
