According to Columbia University, children who have a poor relationship with their father are 68% more likely to drink, smoke, or use drugs. How we can strengthen the bond between father and son and father and daughter?

Michael Gurian is one of the world's foremost experts on gender and the brain and has been called "The People's Philosopher" for his ability to bring together people's ordinary lives and scientific ideas. He is the NY Times bestselling author of thirty-two books, a keynote speaker, a husband and a father.

Every year, we envision a new future and set goals to become who we really want to be. Why is it that more often than not, we never get very far?

If we pay close attention, we can hear a taunting voice, an inner bully who says, "You can't do that. Who do you think you are? You're not worthy or deserving. You're a fake, a fraud, and a loser." Meet Imposter Syndrome, and we all deal with it.

Today we have Dr. Jaime Hope on the show. She's an Emergency Medicine Physician, Wellness Expert, Teacher, Speaker, and Author. Jaime tells us how to notice when Impostor Syndrome is creeping up and how we can shut that bully down. She gives us tools to build resilience against our own negative voices and create a new vision of ourselves. Jaime also reveals how to deal with times of stress by connecting the pain with our vision and purpose. Most importantly, she gives us examples of how we can "program" our kids to have built-in protection against imposter syndrome.

Get ready to defeat that inner bully once and for all!

Do you consider yourself to be one of the "good guys?" What is the truth about masculinity? What does it mean to be a good man in today's rapidly changing society? The old ideas of the man being a lone pursuer, protector, and provider are evolving, leaving many men confused about their role in family and society.

Today we have Cleo Stiller on The Dad Edge. She is the author of Modern Manhood: Conversations About the Complicated World of Being a Good Man Today. Cleo has had conversations with men all over the cultural, economic, and geographical spectrum, along with experts in psychology and sociology, to get a deeper understanding of what men really want and need.

In this episode, Cleo Stiller provides context for men and women when it comes to friendship, sex, parenting, money, and work. She also tells us how dads can become better human beings and raise their sons to confidently navigate the modern world.

Are you living your authentic life? What if you have everything that's supposed to make you happy and you're still miserable?

On today's show, we have Dad Edge Alliance member and everyday dad, Josh Long. Josh had a very successful 16-year career that he hated. He was so hungry for significance in his life, that he threw himself into volunteering for his community. He eventually ran for city council and won. Everything looked very admirable on the outside, but inside he was dying.

Josh was overcommitted and stressed. He began to rely on alcohol to cope. His marriage was in crisis, and he started investing emotionally in another woman. He was living a life of quiet desperation, until he took a hard look at what he was giving his time and energy to and realized he was living for the wrong reasons.

Listen to how Josh saved his marriage, became a better father, and started living a life according to his true values.
