In this episode, I talk about a few episodes in which I have had to apologize to my kids.  It can be hard because as parents we probably think we are right most of the time (and we probably are) but it doesn't mean we can't make mistakes or even lose OUR patience.  Apologizing to my kids has been one of the most rewarding and humbling things I have done to improve our relationship and in a sense redeem myself as a Father.

My son wanted to go running with me and I was reluctant to let him... Why?  Because I didn't want to be slowed down ( I was currently pacing at 10:30, not the best time).  But it turned out to be a big life lesson.  It made me think of the journey of fatherhood and how it relates to running.  Emotionally, physically and mentally.  Needless to say, I came back refreshed, enlightened, and with a different perspective.  My son came back a champion of the day!  So take a listen and take your kid on a crazy run.

Why do we homeschool?  Why are we weird?  Often that is the case when it comes to homeschool...I know I thought that...at first.  In this episode, I talk about why we started homeschooling our kids and fast forward 3 years why we are still homeschooling our kids.  A lot changed for us (mainly me), in this journey.  So if you are a homeschooling dad maybe you can relate to some of the challenges I faced, or if you don't homeschool your kids you can get a glimpse into homeschooling life and why for our family it is something we are passionate about.

Do you have resentment, anger, bitterness to your father?  In this episode, I urge you to take a dive into finding compassion for your father.  I talk about my father figures growing up and how I was able to move forward and find compassion for them, in changing the way I view them.  I feel this is a vital episode in dealing with those deep-rooted father issues and moving forward.  They play a part in our parenting style and every day we may see a likeness of our fathers in our own parenting role.  

Failure...is that a word that scares you?  Is it a word that makes you feel ashamed?  It shouldn't and in fact, we should embrace fear!  Failure is an opportunity it teaches you to be resilient and face all odds.  Achieving success after failures shows you how mentally strong and capable you really are.  Failure shows us everywhere we might have gone wrong and guess us the opportunity to correct it.  You become a confident and a compassionate person overall!  This is not my words, but its what is found when looking up failure on google.  The purpose of this podcast is to Fail but to Fail Forward as dads we will inevitably fail, but that's ok...join the club and let's do this journey together! 

So I launched my podcast a few weeks ago, but I just recently launched my podcast to my friends and family (duh duh DUHHHHHHHH). Anyways I received some comments that made me see that the clarity of my podcast was not there.  So allow me to rebrand and bring some more clarity.  The goal is to recognize our failures and MOVE FORWARD!  I think in the beginning it could have been seen more as beating myself down and self-deprecation.  So with that, I decided to bring more clarity to myself and the podcast in this new episode.
