Nick knows that dads have to wear a lot of different hats, and his guest for this episode is a pro at putting on whatever hat his daughters need. 

Nick invites Marc D'Amelio, father of Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, onto the show to talk about how protecting your children takes many different forms, embracing your child's lack of dependence, and why it's not always your job as dad to "fix things.

Nick and Marc also give us a taste of what it would be like in the karaoke club with both of them. Seriously, "stop what you're doing." 

Happy Holidays everyone!

We’ve all been there before. We hit a low point in our career and wonder, “What’s next? How do I go up from here?” Nick hit that moment during the post-season, and luckily that was when he was introduced to someone who taught him all about "developing a process."

Nick welcomes psychologist and mentor, Dr. Jeff Foote, onto the show to talk about finding self-compassion, admitting when we don't know what to do, and developing small processes to create the better outcomes we want.  

Nick and Dr. Foote also dig deep and discuss the one quality that all incredible coaches and mentors have. 

Fresh off a family-filled weekend, Nick has an incredibly heartfelt father-son chat with former MLB All-star, and recent Jersey Retiree of Ohio University, Steve Swisher. The two talk about generational lessons, the power of helping others, and what Steve has learned throughout his life as a player, a manager, and a mentor to many. 

Nick also brings on therapist and life coach for the Detroit Pistons, Dr. Corey Yeager, to get an introspective look into the psychology of sports, the importance of establishing trust in any relationship, and what we’re all capable of doing in just 23 seconds.  

We close the show with a weekly recap of some rad people, including a story of two vets who reconnected after 75 years apart! 

Be sure to grab a copy of Dr. Corey Yeager’s new book, “How Am I Doing? 40 Conversations to Have with Yourself " out now.
