On this episode, we are joined by Stefanos Sifandos. He is someone I have grown to know and love online as a positive and powerful influence on my FB feed almost daily.

He has impacted and transformed many people's lives, including one who I care about most, a dear friend and true SuperDad in my eyes, Corey Gadzionis.

Just to give you a taste tester of the depths of wisdom Stef chooses to share with the world around him, here is a quote I stole from him to share with you -

"I believe that the path towards greater self-awareness and living a life of congruency, truth, authenticity and openness resides in beginning with diligent self-evaluation and query."

We find out what the 3 most defining moments of Stef's life to date are. We learn what it means to reclaim your kingdom. We talk about THAT Gillette ad, but more to the point, the difference between healthy and unhealthy masculinity. We discuss rites of passage ceremonies, the hiliarious, the cringeworthy, the WTF's, and the meaningful ones. We put Stef on the spot to come up with his wedding vows. Just WOW!

If you resonated with Stef and would love to connect with him, go to www.stefanossifandos.com or locate him on Facebook.

On this episode, we are joined by not one, but two amazing SuperDads of 4 children. Jeff Mask and Kirk Masters are devoted husbands, strong men of faith, and successful entrepreneurs who are doing their best every day to become the greatest version of themselves for their family.

Jeff and Kirk have both overcome some incredible adversity in their lives. They speak candidly on this show about how these trials have shaped them into the father, husband, and man they are today. They offer up wisdom to help us love what is in front of us with more gratitude. Their stories will hopefully inspire you, just as they have me, to live with even greater prupose as SuperDads, driven by service and faith.

When I heard Jeff speak on stage at the Digital Marketer Down Under event, telling his story and introducing a company called JJUMPP, I immediately knew he would be a fantastic guest for the show. I then met Kirk when I arrived to link up with Jeff and arrange the interview.

Both men have passionately helped to build JJUMPP from the ground up after many years working together at Infusionsoft. It is a platform that makes our online presence easier to manage by organising our social media, online reviews, and business listing into one place. And I have to say, I am very impressed with what I've seen already of it and look forward to utilizing JJUMPP fully in the near future with their help. You can find out more about it now by going to www.jjumpp.com.

On this episode, we are joined by David Fraser And Kim Strong.

David is a Dad of two teenagers and one 5 year old. He is a serial entrepreneur with a masters degree in counselling, positive psychology, and a myriad of certifications from the Napoleon Hill Foundation. He is also the founder of Kinetic Solutions - a company that provides some of the most innovative and leading edge training and coaching to help people unleash their true potential.

He is a father to 5 kids, two of them adopted after stepping in and stepping up as a foster parent. He is a surrogate father and mentor to many others, as well as working in disability support. He is a grandfather of 2.

It seemed fitting to begin this conversation with a quote by Napoleon Hill -

"Whatever it is that you lack in education, or knowledge, or influence, you can always obtain it through somebody who has it. Exchange of favors and exchange of knowledge is one of the greatest exchanges in the world."
