Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast! 

Ned W. Schaut has a mission to redefine fatherhood. He is a husband to one beauty, a father to five fun kiddos, and a friend to many. He is an Author, Podcast Host, and small business owner. He lives in Kona, Hawaii and can be found outside exploring new things with his family. Ned has found his greatest opportunity to leave a mark on this earth by embracing his role and opportunity as a father. He wants to help other fathers make that same discovery to enjoy their adventure of fatherhood and be proud of the legacy they will leave future generations. He believes every father who embraces their role intentionally will change the world for generations to come. 

In 2019 he wrote a book called Rebel & Create: A Compass for the Craft of Fatherhood. Following the release of his book he launched the Fatherhood Field Notes podcast. In this podcast he uncovers real, authentic, and messy stories from everyday life creating an opportunity for men on the adventure of fatherhood to learn from each other's wins and losses. From the momentum of his book he created the Fatherhood Legacy Journal which is a daily journal to engage fathers. This project was successfully funded through a Kickstarter Campaign, the journals were printed and shipped for January 2020. He embraces this global mantra daily: Rebel against the view that our actions as fathers have little impact, together we will Create lives engaged in mastering the craft of fatherhood…this will Redefine Fatherhood.

Tweetable Quotes:

“I have a great dad. He was always there for me.” - Ned W. Schaut

“I’ve always been a good dad, but in 2015 when this 36,000 sq. ft. building just fell apart, my identity was taken away. With that and through a lot of self reflection and lots of long walks on the beach, I realized that those desires that I have as a man, I want to be respected, valued, needed, loved, and know that I’m leaving a mark on this Earth.” - Ned W. Schaut

“The mom needs to give the dad some space to try to take advice and not do it her way every time. Let it happen and let them figure it out.” - Ned W. Schaut
