In this episode of Dads and Beer host Christopher Jordan sits down with good friend andhost of the FYO podcast and Those Damn Comic Book Guys podcast, Confucius Jones to discuss the importance of leading by example in your child's life and how to leave a legacy. With father's day having just passed, what do we do as fathers to lead by example. Is it a simple matter of teaching manners and making them understand rules, or is there a deeper cause? Do we act in public the way we act in private? When do we begin to reveal ourselves as people to our children, showing them our conquerings and failures? All too often in society the father is viewed as the disciplinarian and over-lord of a child's life...is this really the truth of a father's role, or are wee supposed to reach deeper and help them understand the emotion and passion of life? Are we doing our level best not only as people but as fathers to leave a lasting legacy for our children to aspire to follow? Will we make our children strong enough to one day surpass us in life's successes and understand that life's failures are teaching moments? These questions and more in this episode of Dads and Beer.

In this edition of Thinking Deeply with Dudes and Beer host Christopher Jordan explores the concept of appreciating the talents and gifts we have. Believe it or not we all have had bestowed upon us talents and gifts that we use on the daily and some we may not even be aware of.

Are the concepts of talent and gift separate parts of life or are they so intimately intertwined that they actually feed into each other throughout our lives?
