In today's episode, I must thank Mike Issacson who is someone I met over the last few years, and then we realized we shared so many common connections.  Mike works out with Kevin and I'm so thankful that he introduced us!  Kevin is also the CEO of Apex Steel which is a  leading steel erection company that can support your full construction lifecycle. Apex Steel can provide pre-construction services, supply and install, rebar, structural steel erection, and miscellaneous steel installation.  However, today we are going to also focus on Kevin the father and learn about his story and lessons he's learned along the way.  

Kevin shares some simple advice that we as dads need to hear.  We need to let our kids fail as that is how they learn and we also need to teach them to do the work themselves.  Lastly, he reinforces how important it is for us dads to spend quality time with our kids.  Time is not going to slow down, so make the effort to spend quality time with them!

In today's episode, I must thank Rick Rizzs for introducing me to Aaron Goldsmith as we keep this theme of the Mariners up!  It's almost spring training and in this episode, we talk everything from Top Pot Donuts, The Hangover, Pawtucket Minor League baseball, Covid, Mariner memories, and most importantly, fatherhood!  You will hear Aaron's deep empathy and appreciation for his mother and also all of the teachers out there teaching our kids remotely.    You will hear the challenges of the travel for Aaron in his line of work and also the love he has for his family.  

One of the best sayings that came from this episode was when he was told, "Just show up"...."Always show up" as a parent.  Our kids will always look in the stands to see if Mom and Dad are there and it's a great reminder to always attend every event that you can.

In this episode, we hear from one of the most sought after speakers, the host of "What are you made of" podcast, and one of Yahoo Finances top financial minds share their journey as a father.  We also will hear about his new upcoming book titled "Rocket Fuel" which you can purchase at this link.  

C-Roc's story is authentic and raw, and one that I believe many dads out there can relate to.  You will hear about his challenges through a broken home, his adversity in business and in life and how he continues to use rocket fuel to get him to stay on course.  He is a great story teller and someone that we all can learn from!  He teaches us to take responsibility and get rid of blaming others.  He also will share the choice we have to wake up and ask ourselves "how do we want our family to view us?"  Lastly, he strives to be the hero for others that others did for him.
