Three Dads Over Coffee

In this episode the three numb nuts are down to two.

Scott and Jon talk about giving, partly based on Adam Grant’s book “Give and Take.”

We also talk about Jon’s impending house move and some training we will be undertaking in the coming months to get better at creating meaningful connections in our communities

The three snollygosters are back for another Saturday session full of phlegmy throats, eye bags and bad hair.

Here's what we covered:

the difference between intention and control

how to deal with defiance of what we perceive as defiance

the stories we make up about our kids will react to increased structure

The three mutating viruses are back for another episode that veers right into the gutter.

Jay does a product review on a product he hasn't received yet. You can imagine how valuable that is.

Then we talk stories of bowel movements gone horribly, horribly wrong

There is some anti-government, pro-liberty talk sprinkled in there as well

Lastly we talk about COVID, how we're dealing it and actions we can take to optimize our physical and mental health regardless of how long this goes on.

Enjoy! If you too have crapped your pants, we consider you a friend of the show!

The three village idiots are back for a mesmerizing salon centered around a few main ideas:

what's the best way to support our kids financially - both practically and educationally

what are some ways to navigate through the tough feelings you have when you feel like emotional garbage?

It was a great chat where we uncovered some different points of view, new insights and as always, created time and space to make fun of each others packages.

The three lamb shanks are back for another thrill ride to start off a Saturday morning.

we start off talking sous-vide cooking. Scotty tells us how Southern Hillbillies do it (it's weird)

if you're interested, here's the sous-vide I use: https://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-cooker/

then we get into death, mortality and how that looming inevitability influences are thinking and choices in the present

plus there are the usual dick jokes. It wouldn't be a Three Dads episode without them

The three philosopher queens are back in full ornamental regalia for a deep (shallow) discussion

This one is a winning combination of dick jokes, snowmobiling stories and important philosophical principles to guide your thinking.

We talk a lot about first principles thinking and why it's such a powerful tool in your life

What is it? How does it help us challenge our assumptions?

Bucking conventional wisdom

Overcoming inertia charting your own direction.

This is a powerful framework you can incorporate into your life right now!

The three broken fence posts are back for a pretty deep discussion on some of the things we're dealing with:

how different each of our kids are

the challenges of online schooling

our own limitations as parents

aligning strengths and single parenting

the importance and unpredictability of natural consequences

I'm not sure we came up with any great answers but it was therapeutic to say the least!

A short episode triggered by the suicide of a husband, father and friend.

After a week away (because 2 of us slept in), the three intellectual giants are back!

You missed us...right?

we chatted about COVID (sorry - we couldn't help it)

then we moved on to talking about the importance of challenges and motivation

somehow we ended up on how shi!!y Jay is as an accountability partner

and we ended up on the power of a morning routine.

This is our unbreakable promise to you: your life will not be profoundly different as a result of listening to this.

But, you'll probably laugh and learn a thing or two that might be useful!

The three pontificators are back and going deeper than a very, very shallow ditch.

we talk parenting to avoid catastrophe vs parenting towards the future and how to balance them

we dig into the idea of lecturing our kids vs listening to them

then we talk about how to talk to our kids about drugs, sex and other things that await them.

Thanks for a great conversation guys!
