The Dad Edge Podcast

Today is our 200th episode of the main show. Thanks to all our listeners for downloading and leaving reviews! We have a spectacular guest for this milestone.

Finance is one of our most popular topics on The Dad Edge. We go through years of education and training for our careers, but we're never taught about how to best use the money we make, and sadly, we rarely take active steps to find ways increase our income.

Grant Sabatier is the founder of MillenialMoney.com and is financially free at the age of thirty-five. He says that the "old school" narrative is obsolete and is with us to talk about his book Financial Freedom: A proven path to all the money you will ever need. Get ready for early retirement!

This is our last show for January 2019 and we are shutting it down with an intense topic, surviving the dark night of the soul.

We all fight inner battles. Most of us struggle alone. Today, one of our Dad Edge Alliance team leads opens up about how alcoholism and depression led him to the brink of suicide. He lost his job, his house, his wife, and was bankrupt. He was overweight and unhealthy from the constant booze, cocaine, and cigarettes. But one day, something clicked and he decided to fight his way back to the light.

Listen to his story from hopelessness to the heroic triumph over the battle within.

This episode was recorded live in the Dad Edge Alliance Mastermind community. We've turned this into a live radio show and it's awesome!

Join Larry and JMack as they bring men from The Alliance LIVE and take their questions!

Here's what to look forward to in this episode

• What does Larry love about the book The Unbeatable Mind so much? And, what systems has he put into place as a result of reading it 57,000 times?
• What are tips and strategies you use to combat that inner voice telling you you suck? And how do you deal with energy draining people?
• What happens when the energy drainer is someone who live with?

At the end, we talk about the 2019 Dad Edge Summit! 2018 was life changing for the men that attended. 2019 is going to take things to an even higher level!

What is it about some people that makes us gravitate toward them? Why is it that sometimes we just don't like certain people? How can we acquire that X-factor that makes some men so likeable and how can we use that to enhance our relationships at work and at home?

Today's guest is Arel Moodie, the host of the wildly popular podcast called The Art of Likeability. He says that increased likability improves your leadership and builds deeper relationships to create more success in all areas of your life. He demystifies likeability and tells us how to leverage it and instill it in our children. You do not want to miss the fascinating interview!

Today is a first. We not only have a longtime Dad Edge Alliance member on Thursday Throwdown, we have his wife! If you have been thinking about joining The Dad Edge Alliance or attending our Dad Edge Summit this summer, but are wondering how your wife will feel about the idea, this interview with Javier and Suzanne will show you what happens when a man finds his tribe.

Javier and Suzanne have been together for 14 years and are parents. They had a fairy tale beginning, but once real life kicked in, intense fights and break ups left open wounds. Javier opens up about his struggles as a man. He tells us how The Dad Edge Alliance helped him grow and how the Dad Edge Summit catalyzed all he had learned into a clear vision for the future.

His wife, Suzanne, gets real about the marriage problems they had and how beneficial The Dad Edge Alliance and Dad Edge Summit have been to their relationship as a couple and a family.

Up to 95 % of the decisions we make are based on what we feel. This means that in almost every situation, we are reacting instead of responding. Think about decisions you've made based on fear, selfishness, or anger. How did they serve you? How did they affect those around you?

Today's guest is the author of F*ck Your Feelings, Ryan Munsey. He is a speaker, coach, and the host of the Better Human Project Podcast. He tells us how to recognize our feelings, understand them, and look at them from an objective point of view. He teaches us how to remove emotions from the equation and act on our values instead. He also talks about reframing frustrating situations so that we can make the right choice in our behavior and become the leaders our families need us to be.

"We have one shot in life to be a dad. Why not make it epic." If you're a regular listener, you will recognize that this is the intro for The Dad Edge Podcast. Our kids grow up fast and we get older every day. We can't afford to wait around and see if our dreams come true. We have to take action to create an epic life and we have to do it today.

That is why we held the first annual The Dad Edge Summit in St. Louis this past June and we are already planning the next one for 2019. It's a chance for likeminded men to join together and learn from each other as well as elite experts and coaches.

So what happens at The Dad Edge Summit? What are the unknowns? What do guys walk away with? Find out all about this personal development event exclusively for dads!

Today there is so much pressure to find our why, to have a clear purpose in life. Some people seem to have it all figured out. We see them on social media living their dreams. Others think they know what they were meant to be, only to find out they're unfulfilled. Those of us who haven't defined a clear purpose yet seem to be looked down on (or maybe we just feel that way). Today's guest tells us why you need to forget the pressure to find your why and how to let it reveal itself to you.

Dominick Quartuccio, bestselling author of Design Your Future: 3 Simple Steps to Stop Drifting and Take Command of Your Life, is back on The Dad Edge. He says that in looking too hard for our purpose in life, it eludes us. Most people don't know what their destiny is, and that's okay. He teaches us how to analyze our lives to become aware of what lights us up, and how to follow that passion to create a life that excites us.
