Yesterday Richard, while traveling, ran into a man who had detailed memories of the TV show the Eyres hosted years ago which was called Families are Forever.  It started some thought about some of the unique national and local media experiences they have had and they dropped their planned topic and just reminisced about media experiences and about how the common love all parents have for their children should unite this divided world.

The Eyres cast today from the South of Italy, the "boot" as it is called, where Richard is playing in an international senior tennis tournament. They are traveling with their son Tal, featured on last week's podcast with his new book DAD MODE, and his Swiss wife Anita who is a noted personal coach.  Tal and Anita tell "their story" which includes a year long "humanitarian honeymoon." See more at TalEyre.com and AnitaJoosEyre.com.

WHAT'S YOUR STORY?

In this new episode, Richard and Linda interview their son Talmadge about his new book DAD MODE. Tal, a Master of Positive Psychology from U. Penn, and a former college basketball star who now lives in Switzerland with his family, talks about the universal need of Dads to have stronger personal connections with their children.  DAD MODE will be published for Father's Day but is available now for pre-order on Amazon.

DAD MODE!

Linda and Richard get personal on today's show, and talk about what each of their adult children are doing to strengthen and encourage families. Perhaps the permissible form of pride is the kind we all have for our kids, and the Eyres, while acknowledging that everyone has problems, let it rip about their pride in each of their progeny, and give us websites to follow each of them in the family-work they are doing.

HOW OUR CHILDREN HAVE JOINED OUR CAUSE

Today the Eyres make a strong appeal for a more inclusive definition of "FAMILY" and suggest that blood really is thicker than water. Conscious, diligent effort to stay connected with parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and even ancestors is important and always pays off. Family is not just parents and kids: we are ALL part of a family. The Eyres give four specific suggestions on how to connect and synergize.

3-Generation Family Management

The Eyres continue their 3-letter lesson series with the concept of "easy" and the question of whether we should think of our lives as hard or easy and how we can move from one toward the other. For Easter week, Richard and Linda have focused on Matt. 11:30 where Christ says "My yoke is easy" and they examine both spiritual and secular approaches to simplifying, prioritizing, and "sharpening our saws."
