Do you trust your instincts? Have you ever wondered why you get a gut feeling or "hunch" when something terrible is about to happen? Or maybe you've been wondering why other people experience these kinds of things and you don't? Today's episode is fascinating to a hug degree as I am joined by Lisa K, expert in all things intuition. Lisa is an amazing wealth of knowledge where psychobiology and brain function are concerned, but where she gets the most pleasure is talking about one specific phenomenon: Intuition. She joins me today to discuss male intuition specifically, and where it comes in handy as a father, but also how to hone and develop your connection with your instincts in order to put them to use in your day to day decision making. She also weighs in on a few of my experiences to confirm whether or not I was actually dealing with my instincts, or just being paranoid. If you geek out on brain function and behaviour, this episode is for you!

• What is psychobiology and why does it matter in relation to your gut instincts

• How do the right and left side of the brain differ in how they send and receive information?

• What is instinct? What is your gut feeling?

• How my intuition tried to warn me about a violent situation, and how it tipped me off that everything was going to be okay afterward.

• How do you connect with your intuition so that you know you can trust it to communicate with you when you need it?

• Intuition exercises that will help you hone your instincts and begin to harness your gut feelings to use in your day to day life.

• Is it just a matter of shutting up and giving your instinct room to communicate with you?

"If I know how life works, I can live a better life"

"It sounds like the left brain and the right brain are a married couple that actually work well together"

"The right side of the brain is geared to react instantaneously"

"We have to become more aware of these little things that the right brain is telling us"

"If you can learn how to harness it, if you can learn how to use it, then it's going to become an asset to you"

"It's like any skill, you have to develop it, and anybody can"

"The left side of the brain drowns out the right side of the brain all the time"

Welcome to Fathership! In this week's episode, I'm asking you to be honest with yourself: Are you a good son? A lot of us kind of have a laugh and say no when we think about this question, if we've ever asked it at all, but what have you done about it? Have you made up for some of the things you've put your parents through? Have you made amends for some of the hardships you've caused? Do you call them frequently or tell them that you love them? 

We as men go through life expecting people to treat us with love, dignity and respect, but often we forget to give those things to our parents. If you want to have good children, wouldn't it make sense that you know how to be one? Kids learn by example after all.

• What we as men want and expect from other people in our lives.
• Am I a good father? Am I a good husband? Am I a good son?
• Have you owned up to your parents for your behaviour in your youth?
• How are you stacking up as a son? Are you helpful? Are you supportive?
• Are you presenting your parents with opportunities to bond with you, or are you expecting them to do it?
• You can set the example and be the difference maker.

"Are you a good child?"

"Have you made amends?"

"I want everyone to respect my leadership, but am I a good leader?"

"If you are inconsistent anywhere, that's where you're going to see reflections of you and your behavior"

"You use your gifts to enrich the lives of other people"

"If we can make a huge difference in our children's lives, why can't we make a huge difference in our parent's lives?

Welcome to Fathership. This week's guest is Jonathan Rivera, host of Daddy's Working (the podcast) and founder of The Podcast Factory. Jonathan is a devoted husband and father. His head and heart are in the right place. He's got a pretty good idea of what goes into this whole parenting thing, and he and his wife Cupcake (is that her real name? Click play and find out!) are a pretty strong team. They have a mission to instill as many positive skills, and influences as possible in their son, and hope to guide him into being a good man, and a decent person. The coolest part about Jon's situation? His son is adopted, which adds an entirely different level of understanding and an even more interesting dynamic to the role of dad. We get into a discussion on that: how it differs (or if it differs) from the traditional father/son relationship, what goes into the adoption process, and what Jonathan is working on when it comes to dealing with some of the obstacles that he's been met with along this journey. Want to find out how to raise an awesome little human being? Want to know the secret to making it work, regardless of the circumstances you'll be faced with? Tune in to this week's episode and have your mind blown wide open.

• How Jon went from being afraid of children (like, didn't even want to hold babies afraid) to wanting a child of his own.
• Who is "Cupcake"?
• What was going through Jonathan's mind when they were deciding to adopt, and what went into their decision to do so.
• Does love transcend biology when it comes to a father's relationship with their child?
• What kind of impact are you making on the world? What kind of people are you raising?
• A quick glance at what goes into adoption, and how prepared Jonathan was (or wasn't) for fatherhood.
• That moment when you can't handle it anymore, and you still have to, so you find a way to do it and do it well.
• Where does Jonathan rock at fatherhood?

"We wanted our own imprint on a kid."

"Love is love. We can love no matter what. Doesn't have to be because that kid shot out of your loins that you love it. Love is love"

"I know unconditionally that I can love my child"

"If it didn't work out the natural way, we were open to the adoption way"

"Your legacy is your last name and your money? That doesn't mean crap, man"

"I get to wake Huddy up every morning and it's one of the things I live for"

"Keep helping. Keep giving him good influence. Keep loving him"

"I've actually mellowed out more, and that's how I've become more protective"

"What worked? What didn't work? What can I do differently?"

"It's more about solving problems and bringing value into the world"

Welcome to Fathership! In this week's episode, I break down my daily routine to demonstrate where I benefit from having structure, and how I find time to do all of the things that are expected from me. Being the an of the house doesn't have to be a painfully difficult experience, but it will definitely challenge your ability to manage your time, your energy, and the expectations of others. While you can't possibly get to everything that's being asked of you all the time, you can definitely give it a solid effort and cover a lot of ground. Want to know how I make my business and family life work together? Want to know where I set my boundaries in regards to my time? Looking for a few things that you could potentially add to your own routine? It's all right here in this week's edition of Fathership, so click play and enjoy!

• Is forming a routine really stealing your own freedom from yourself?
• How my wife and I are both like Sims in the morning.
• My daily routine from Monday to Friday and the changes that typically happen on weekends.
• Organizing my work day: What goes into having a work from home business and a family?
• Once the work day is done, the real fun begins!

"I would rather be a little tired and know I accomplished a lot than be super energetic and antsy and bored knowing I've done very little"

"I could work forever and there would always be more work to do"

Are you the man you say you are? Does your partner's view of you match up to the view you have of yourself? Do your kids see you the same way you do? Do any of them know how much you love them? These are all really important things to consider when we're going about our day to day lives as partners and parents, and yet so few of us understand much about it. How much information are the people around you getting? How much are you giving? A person's opinion of you is formed largely on two things: what you say and what you do. If those two things don't align, you may not be painting the best picture of yourself. In this episode of Fathership, I break down the lenses we view the world though: our paradigms, and use a story of an NHL player only scoring one goal in 47 games to get the job done. Want sports to save your relationship for once? Tune in.

• Why paradigms matter, and how understanding how they work will make your days go better.
• What is, what is his version, and what is her version?
• How is Pekke Rinne not fired after only getting one goal in 47 games?
• The "Oh" Moments
• I am whatever you say I am.
• How one tiny paradigm shift changed 3 years of a relationship in a single moment.
• Why you have to back up what you see about yourself.

"We can think we're doing great things but really our actions show something completely different"

"A paradigm shifts when new information enters the equation"

"Your perspective is very narrow. It's based on your experience and how you see the world"

"I encourage you to talk. Even if it's the same talk you've had over and over again"

"As you step up, you're going to notice that people's paradigms of you are going to shift as well"

"You can't force someone to see what isn't true" 

"Just because you're seeing it doesn't mean your actions are saying it"

"Am I the man I say I am, or am I just pretending to be?"
