This week I visit with Andy Van Order owner of Andy’s Auto Care +. We explore his amazing story of becoming a dad at 15 and manning up to take care of his son. No, it wasn’t easy but he dug in and not only did what was required to raise and support his son but to become the man he is today.

New Book: Learn to Dance With The Currents of Life - When You Feel Like Drowning

Welcome to another Man2Man episode of FathersFyre. This week we explore discipline. What is discipline? How do we discipline our kids? Does one thing work for all kids? How do we tap into teaching as part of discipline?  How do we discipline ourselves to not go overboard?

Join me, Antoine Brown, Sean Knauff, and Mike Lewis explore a topic that can be really challenging as a dad.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for being out for the past three weeks. I was done hard with COVID Pneumonia. But I'm finally among the living now.

I had a conversation earlier this week that made me ask myself, "what are some key principles to being a great dad?"  I've come up with 5 that I think is a great place to start. Join me as we explore five principles to be a great dad:

#1 Your kids need YOU. You are what they need. Be present. Be engaged. Be Involved.

#2 Develop empathy and perspective for them as children. This is the first time they've faced certain challenges give them space to go through them.

#3 Explain the why? Not just cause I said so.

#4 Be the dad you would want. What kind of dad would you have wanted?  Start by being that dad then grows from there.

#5 Show your kids that you love them.  Related to this show them that you love their mom. If you have a baby momma show your love, respect, and honor. Your kids will emulate how they see you treat their momma.

I'd love to hear some of your guiding principles.  Send me a DM or email.

I'm super excited to have Michael Quintock for the second episode of FathersFyre. He recently adopted his third child, a newborn baby girl, so I thought it'd be fun to talk about the challenge and fun of adoption.

As you know if it's summer and family is in town we are on the lake wake surfing and tubing. This week my daughter asked me if I wanted to try wake surfing with her standing on my shoulders.  Short version - we tried and succeeded. Long version I got thinking about how we as dads serve as a foundation for our kids. This led me to ponder seven key foundations we need to provide and build in our kids.

Join me as i explore these 7 things you need to teach them to give them a solid foundation.

I'd love to hear your perspective. What would you add to the list?
