In this episode, I sit down with Guinness World Record holder Joe Carlucci for a thoughtful conversation about his experiences in the kitchen with his daughter, Valentina. Together, we dive into the deeper aspects of fatherhood—how to nurture your child’s gifts, the importance of fostering genuine connection over performing for others, and the challenges of co-parenting in today's world.

Joe opens up about his personal “recipe” for successful parenting, sharing his wisdom on how to stay connected with your children while navigating the complexities of modern fatherhood.

I truly loved this conversation, and I’m confident you’ll walk away with valuable insights and actionable advice.

This week, I’m excited to sit down with my good friend Giancarlo Rengifo for a heartfelt conversation about fatherhood. We dive deep into the joys and challenges of being a dad, but also explore the often-overlooked importance of being best friends with your spouse or partner. We discuss how this deep connection can be a cornerstone of a strong, resilient family, and why nurturing this friendship is just as crucial as parenting itself. Join us for an insightful and inspiring discussion on building and maintaining these essential relationships in our lives.

This week I sit down with my brother Chad Sedrick to talk about our experience at the 2024 Paris Olympics watching his daugther "Spiff" Sedrick play on the USA Women's Rugby Team. We explore our experience and the highlight of the Olympics when Spiff broke three tackles and ran the entire length of the field to tie the Bronze Medal game against Austrailia and then to score the extra point to win the Bronze Medal.Yes it was over the top amazing.

Join in to hear what it was like to be there at the 2024 Paris Olympics!

Today I've been pondering a post that I saw on Facebook by my friend Shon Hart. If you don't know Shon is the creator and Executive Director of InvolvedDad. He invited his son Levi to one of his speaking events and had his son share his daily affirmations.

It reinforced in my mind the power of affirmations to help you become the man, husband and father you aspire to be.

A lot of people complain about their father-in-law? But my father-in-law is next level! Next level AWESOME! This father's day I wanted to pay tribute to him and all of you immigrant fathers who have fled your home to build a new home in a different country.

Plus my good friend  @ShonHart  from InvolvedDad drops into share a few thoughts!

The past week I have been pondering conversations on both sides of the Gay Pride Month. It has really given me pause to reflect on my own experiences as with my children - what I could've done better and what I wish I could do over. I hope that as I share this parable of love and some personal thoughts that it helps you build better relationships with your children or family members who are in the LGBTQ community.

If your buddy calls and invites you to a last minute car show, fishing trip, business event you will move mountains, change schedules, to make it happen. But whens the last time you moved things to do get away with your wife or do something she likes? Maybe you were first dating and married you did, but somewhere we lost that interest and passion.

I'm a little late on posting this week's podcast because rather than recording a podcast I was spending time with my beautiful wife on Mother's Day.

My wife loves barbecue so while I was barbecuing steaks, asparagus, and pineapple I had a moment to reflect on my mom, my wife, and the women who have impacted my life. Today I share some of those thoughts

Happy Mother's Day

This I sit down with Alex Russell and explore what it takes to be a dad of a competitive athlete. We talk about the demands on you as a dad, figuring out how much to push them, and giving them the space to discover their own talents and commitment to the game.

I had the AMAZING opportunity to go down to El Salvador to be part of the 1st IDA Certified Detailer and Skills Validated training event with Jorge Rivera, Rigo Santana, Christian Ramos Pwee, Manuel Martinez, Steve Thompson, and Little Steve (The Detail Kid). I share some thoughts and observations about being a dad from my experience in El Salvador.
