Front Row Dads with Jon Vroman

How can you instill healthy beliefs in your family?

One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves after every interaction with our kids, "When our children walk away, what did they just conclude?"

Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.

Don't have time for the full interview with Celeste Meyburgh? Here's a short clip from the discussion!

Celesté Meyburgh spent the last couple of years researching and studying the important role that fathers play in early child development and school readiness.

She believes Dads should know what the science says about their unique impact and she has made it her mission to share the fascinating research about Dads far and wide.

Celesté Meyburgh along with her (awesome!) husband, Kobus Meyburgh, are co-founders of Spritely.

During office hours, she is a Registered Psychometrist and Counsellor. After hours, she plays house (and LEGO and dinosaurs) with her two-year-old girl, Famke, and five-year-old boy, Milan.

During the early morning hours, she is plotting world peace, with her ever-growing army of actively involved Dads.

She aims to inspire Dads with insight to become Dads of impact all over the world. Because our children deserve to grow up with the best version of their Dads so they can become the best version of themselves for the generations to come.

In today's episode of the podcast, we're talking with Celesté about her passion for helping men understand their impact at a child's early age.

• Using assessments for better parenting
• How to leverage personality differences to create power
• At what stage of a child's development does a dad REALLY need to be involved
• The latest research on fatherhood engagement
• Why a father's eating habits have more of an impact than Moms
• The benefits of rough and tumble play
• "Whining is just anger coming through a very small whole"
• Kids behaviors are all just attempts at communicating with us, and it's our job to figure out what they're saying
• Mantra to remember -- "Connection before correction"
• What the hell is Lego Serious Play?

• "Take a step back and focus on the family. Success is inevitable but it won't mean anything, if you lose connection with your children" - Celesté Meyburgh
• "Embracing your child or your spouse when you come home is so important because it resets something in your inside" - Celesté Meyburgh
• "We don't know what lies ahead for our children but a child who has the ability to think critically, and problem solve and identify ways in which he can make the world a better place, that child will be okay" - Celesté Meyburgh
• "A child who is able to recognize and manage their emotions and collaborate with others, those are the kids that will do well in the future. " - Celesté Meyburgh

Patrick Cullinane is a serial entrepreneur who has started and sold multiple businesses and developed several software applications in the logistics and supply chain industries. Patrick also serves on the board of 1Life Fully Lived, a non-profit geared towards helping young people find their passion through the entrepreneurial spirit and to dream, plan and live their best lives.

Sam Cullinane began her career climbing corporate ladders to achieve the rank of Chief of Staff to the President of an international five billion dollar company. Eventually, she also took to entrepreneurial endeavors – starting a few businesses and then joining Patrick to build and sell his largest business. Sam completely switched gears in 20 15 and is now a National iTunes charting songwriter and recording artist who has been invited to open for Jewel and has a song in a film released October 2017. Sam also serves as the President of a women's mastermind, Symmetry7.

Sam and Patrick have been married for over twenty years and they would tell you they are one of the happiest couples they know. But they weren't always this happy. In fact, after ten years of marriage, they were ready to sign the divorce papers. During the first ten years of their marriage, they struggled through like most people do: trying to navigate life together without any real tools, realizing they were in many ways opposites, fighting often, having sex less and less, distrust and jealousy rearing their ugly heads, and what they believed was falling out of love. They were under tremendous pressure, as many families are these days, raising their two children and each of them pursuing their rigorous careers. In their tenth year of marriage, they decided to call it quits and filed for divorce.

After a year apart, against all odds, they decided to get back together. This time they came with new insights including recognition of the things each of them brought to the relationship – good and bad. Both made the necessary changes to successfully start their next chapter.

For the last ten years they've grown their love, their bond, and created an amazing life together. They became students of love and they never looked back. Their book, released July 2017, Bigger Love – is their story along with tips, tools, and tricks for taking your relationship to a higher, deeper, more satisfying level.
