Guts, resilience, grit these words are all in a similar wheelhouse with interwoven meanings.

To me each represent a form of perseverance and passion to achieve something. Maybe a long term goal.

We all have times where we seem to be lacking these characteristics.

We give up easily.

We shy away from challenge.

We are easily distracted, 

We are disheartened when things go wrong and sometimes we have little sense of purpose or goals. 

Grit or guts means you can make it through these tough situations, ideally with a smile on your face. 

You have the confidence and perseverance to pick yourself up when you’re down. 

With Matty and Ryan on the beers Kane works through some steps to being more resilience and building resilience in children.

Is the modern man a hunter or a gentleman? A manual labourer or a technophile? In today's culture the modern man usually is a mix of many things. The modern man must be adaptable.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing.

More fathers than ever are participating in their children's nurturing and upbringing.

The thing is that fathers and mothers come into the parenting process differently though. For the mother, the connection is biological. It's a part of her.

Fathering, on the other hand, is less so. Therefore, it's important for men to learn the skills they need to be a good dad. For some guys it's more intuitive, like kicking a football, but most guys need a coach or some direction.

DADDY EATS LAST discusses what it means to be a man and a father in modern society and all the issues that comes with both.

Money is important for the essentials in life.

Do not misunderstand me. Money is not the goal of life nor the measurement of a happy life.

An unhappy person who gets rich will still be an unhappy person with money and sure I’d prefer to be Rich and Miserable than Poor and Miserable, but I’d take happy every day of the week.

People who have money but are unhappy sometimes seem ungrateful….but really they just have other issues that they haven’t resolved that keeps them unhappy.

Money is important for the essentials in life, but at a certain point more money won’t neccessarily make you any happier.

So what’s the magic number?

Kane discusses this and some tips to be financially happier in this episode.

We all have different definitions of happy and different things that make us happy.

Due to border closures and COVID restrictions, there have been many a fail in terms of holidays going to plan.

If you're in the position where your holiday has been cancelled due to COVID it's perfectly normal to feel a whole range of emotions — including disappointment, sadness, frustration, even anger, particularly if it has happened more than once.

We all go through periods of stress those times where you need to reassure yourself that everything is going to be okay. Lockdown is a big trigger for some people.

Kane has been through some extremely stressful situations….we all have!

Stress is unavoidable, especially in the modern world where we are so busy being busy and trying to do everything we all possibly can rather than subjecting ourselves to idle times.

The only universal thing about stress is, like I said before, that it is generally unavoidable.

Stress comes in all different shapes and sizes for every one of us.

It may be work stress

It may be business stress

It may be relationship stress

It may be financial stress.

It may be stress of a COVID lockdown or anxiety about getting the vaccine.

There are lots of different triggers for stress out there.

Over time the adrenalin released by stress hormones creates a continued state of vigilance with damaging physiological consequences.

Stress can actually kill you indirectly as it is known to lead to increased heart rate, cardiovascular problems, breathing difficulties and high blood pressure.

All key contributing factors to death.

So how can you counter stress?

Kane goes through some strategies he has used when he has encountered stress.
