The Dad Edge Podcast

Would you climb to the top of Kilimanjaro in 30-degree weather wearing nothing but boots, shorts, and a knit cap? Today's guest did it and he wrote the book on it. We have NY Times bestselling author of What Doesn't Kill Us, Scott Carney to tell us why he put his body through such extremes and why we all should step out of our physical comfort zones for better health, mental resilience, and disease resistance.

I'm going to talk about an issue most dads face on a daily basis–losing our temper. What do you do when you tell your son or daughter to do something over and over again and they just won't listen? Usually we get frustrated and angry. We begin to raise our voice, but this doesn't give us the respect we want. Today I'm going to share a secret I learned from a mentor on how to get your kid to listen without yelling.

As children, we have mentors for every aspect of our lives. Our parents mentored us from the moment we were born. Our teachers served as mentors for each of the subjects we studied. Our coaches were our mentors when we played school sports. But as adults we are left on our own. We think we know all we need to know. We stop learning and stop growing. Today's episode is a clip from a live Q & A session we had in The Dad Edge Alliance with baseball legend Todd Stottlemyre. He drops a wisdom bomb why we need to continuously seek new knowledge and feedback, and why we need mentors in every stage of life.

In this week's Thursday Throwdown, I'm following up on my show Why It's Time to Do Epic Shit TODAY. I got a great response from that episode. Listeners have been posting pictures of the epic things they are doing with their kids and tagging it with #DoEpicShit. Sharing amazing experiences with our family doesn't have to be complicated. Hikes, camping in the back yard, getting pedicures with daughters–we just need to step out of the normal routine and connect to make a lasting memory. Today I talk about an epic experience I shared with my two older sons and how I marked that experience by writing them a letter and reading it to them.
