#FatherhoodIsLit

You ever used journaling to step your dad game up? We sat down with Ned Schaut creator of the Fatherhood Legacy Journal and the dope podcast Rebel and Create: Fatherhood Field Notes, to find out how he is using a journal to become a better father. He dropped gems on how a visual representation of your goals can go a long way in business and #dadlife. He kept it super real and dropped gems for the community.

Last week 6ix9ine made his return to the real world and had the internet going crazy! I caught a piece of his Instagram live with my son and the lessons started pouring in. Sometimes we as dads need real word activities to fuel our lessons, this was one of those days. Tune in to hear 3 of the lessons I had to share with my son thanks to a kid with rainbow hair.  #FatherhoodIsLit 

I love being myself and love getting paid to be myself. This week I sat down with my friend Julian Mitchell founder of IQ Labs and Get Paid To Be Yourself to chat about #dadlife and more. He filled me in on how he is working to make sure his son knows he can be himself, get paid for it, and how we can do the same. It starts with self-belief and he dropped gems all about it. Get inspired and remember #FatherhoodIsLit if you let it be!

As fathers, we can dwell on the negative or find a way to appreciate the positive things that are thrown our way. I know it’s not easy but even this pandemic has its positives. When will we ever get to spend this much time with our family? For this episode, we talk about a few of those positives and why YOU should appreciate them.

Remembering where you came from can be a huge deal for dads like Vic Medina. He has friends like Jay Z and Romeo Santos and is an executive at Roc Nation but that hasn’t changed the person that he is. This week we talked about Vic’s come up, how he is making sure to teach his kids about hustling, loyalty and never forgetting where you came from. This was raw and real, don't sleep.

I don't do politics but there's no denying the power of it when used for the right things. This week I sat down with my homie Jason Wallace who happens to be the Executive Director of the Commission on Fathers, Men and Boys at the DC Mayor's Office. He kept it so real and told us why he is fighting for dads every day with Flip The Script. We need people like Jason in politics and I'm so proud to call him an ally but most of all a friend.

Everybody is home now and for many of us, this new normal is driving us crazy lol.
