Dads With Daughters w/ Dr. Christopher Lewis

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke with CEO and co-founder of Big Think, Victoria R. Montgomery Brown. We talk today about her experiences as an entrepreneur and how her own father helped her to become the success she is today. We also talk about her new book: Digital Goddess: The Unfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur.

Victoria R. Montgomery Brown is CEO and co-founder of Big Think, the knowledge company that makes people and companies smarter and faster through short-form video with the world's best thinkers and doers. Since founding Big Think in 2007, Victoria has built the company from a fledgling thought-leadership media platform to the leading knowledge company for ideas and soft skills. As CEO, Victoria oversees and directs strategy, fundraising, and investor relations. Victoria has a BA from McGill University and an MBA from Harvard Business School

About the Book

In Digital Goddess, Montgomery-Brown—founder of Big Think, a collection of experts across all fields and disciplines that are either at the top of their field or disrupting it, shares her story in an entertaining and educational light. Told from the unique, female entrepreneurial perspective that unpacks all the hurdles other female founders may face in their own journey to the top, Montgomery-Brown shares the real-world lessons she's learned along the way, such as:

• Never lie to your investors, even when you just got arrested.
• Raising money is a poker game—learn how to play.
• The power and money still lie with men. Pretending it's not that way, or being angry about it, won't lead to success.
• Your relationship with your co-founder is like a second marriage, so forget about keeping the personal out of the workplace.
• The more authentic you are, and the more fun you have, the better your experience will be.

This book is about dealing with the way things are, even when you don't like it, and being yourself, even when it seems like a drawback. It's about sucking it up, making the hard choices, and dealing with the consequences. It's about being honest no matter what is going down. Victoria's been called "the anti-Elizabeth Holmes," for a good reason—unlike the ill-fated Theranos CEO, she's transparent with her investors even when she fears they will walk away.

Digital Goddess is a story for entrepreneurial women at any stage of life who want to know what it actually takes to build a business in a world that's not always fair, predictable, or politically correct.

About the Book

Imagine your children coming to you, looking for ways to contribute to household chores, being more helpful and respectful to each other, and being responsible - all with minimal input or guidance from you!

"I've attended numerous seminars and read many books. I've always felt that if I could get just one useful idea or strategy that I could use to move closer to my goals, then I got my money's worth. This book greatly exceeded my expectations and left me with AT LEAST 8–10 strategies (I didn't have before) that I can (and will) execute to make my relationship with my family even more rewarding than it already is." - Mason Duchatschek

If you're tired of feeling stressed when dealing with your children (or your own parents), then this is the book for you.

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke with Julian Reeves, author of Captain Perfection & the Secret of Self-Compassion: A Self-Help Book for the Young Perfectionist about the challenges of perfectionism and how this can lead you or your kids down a path that can impact one's physical or emotional health.

The big idea: It's estimated that over 30% of the world's population struggles with perfectionism—and it's not limited to adults. Alarmingly, studies show that by the time children reach adolescence, between 25% and 30% experience maladaptive perfectionism, a harmful drive to "be perfect" that can derail a healthy life.

The so-what: From low self-esteem to depression, anxiety, and even life-threatening physical ailments that carry into adulthood, perfectionism comes at a steep price.

No one knows this better than lifelong perfectionist JULIAN REEVE, whose high standards propelled him to the top 1% of his industry as music director of the Broadway hit Hamilton—and triggered a heart attack shortly after.

The key message: Now a healthy, healed, and sought-after speaker on perfectionism, Reeve offers fresh perspectives on how perfectionism is perceived and managed in kids and adults. He's standing by to share:

• The surprising differences between healthy and unhealthy perfectionism
• How to help your child stay calm and recognize perfectionism when it strikes
• 3 simple ways your child can build self-compassion, a happy perfectionist's superpower
• Key messages young perfectionists need to hear from parents as soon as possible
• Proven strategies to help your perfectionist child develop robust and healthy coping techniques early on

The source: JULIAN REEVE is a former music director of the Broadway musical Hamilton turned perfectionism contributor, speaker, and author of Captain Perfection & the Secret of Self-Compassion: A Self-Help Book for the Young Perfectionist.

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke with Ed Frauenheim, co-author of the new book: Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connectionas he talks to us about his experiences as a father but also his experiences in creating a world that socializes men to create a gender equitable and overall world that that is safe for all women. We talk about the book as well as his own experiences in fatherhood.

About the Book

In a recent FiveThirtyEight poll, 60 percent of men surveyed said society puts pressure on men to behave in a way that is unhealthy or bad. Men account for 80 percent of suicides in the United States, and three in ten American men have suffered from depression. Ed Adams and Ed Frauenheim say a big part of the problem is a model of masculinity that's become outmoded and even dangerous, to both men and women. The conventional notion of what it means to be a man--what Adams and Frauenheim call "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, they propose a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship. Through hopeful stories of men who have freed themselves from the strictures of Confined Masculinity, interviews with both leaders and everyday men, and practical exercises, this book shows the power of a masculinity defined by what the authors call the five Cs: curiosity, courage, compassion, connection, and commitment. Men will discover a way of being that fosters healthy, harmonious relationships at home, at work, and in the world.
