WHOA DAD! GO DAD! - Episode 31: Featuring Cody Clickner
Welcome to Episode Thirty One with Cody Clickner
(Cody’s Dad Stats: Three sons, ages 8, 6, and 1, and a 3-year-old daughter)
Welcome to episode 31 of "WHOA DAD! GO DAD!" with Cody Clickner. After decades in the energy sector as a production engineer, Cody founded “Well Information Technologies” which is a modern job reporting tool for the Oil & Gas industry. Beyond being an energy entrepreneur, Cody is adventure seeker, husband, and father of four.
In this episode, Cody delves into his personal journey from having his career define his identity to re-centering his life around fatherhood. His story is a powerful reminder for new dads of the importance of making intentional choices that align with the kind of father you want to be. Cody openly discusses the struggles and revelations he faced while adjusting his priorities, providing practical advice for those navigating the early stages of fatherhood. Whether you're just entering this phase or are finding your footing, Cody's insights will help you understand the significant impact of your role and encourage you to shape it actively.
Cody shares the magic of building both a successful business and raising a family with his wife, and here are five topics that really caught my attention:
Identity and Career vs. Fatherhood: Cody discusses his transformation from identifying primarily through his career to prioritizing fatherhood. He shares the profound impact this shift has had on his personal happiness and family dynamics, encouraging fathers to evaluate and realign their priorities to foster better relationships at home.
The Importance of Patience and Presence: Throughout the conversation, Cody emphasizes the need for patience and being present as fundamental aspects of effective parenting. He talks about learning to adjust expectations and embrace the small, everyday moments with his children as opportunities for bonding and personal growth.
Leading by Example: Cody highlights the significance of leading by example rather than directive parenting. By reflecting on his own changes in behavior and what he models for his children, he illustrates how parental actions directly influence children's behavior and values.
Balancing Family and Entrepreneurial Endeavors: He shares his journey from a demanding oil and gas career to starting his own company, discussing how entrepreneurship allowed him to create a more family-oriented lifestyle. Cody’s story provides insights into the challenges and rewards of balancing professional aspirations with a commitment to family.
Development and Adaptation Over Time: Cody reflects on how his parenting style has evolved with the growth of his family from one child to four. He notes the differences in parenting each child, adapting to their individual needs, and the continuous learning process that parenting entails, underscoring the dynamic nature of fatherhood as children grow and change.
I can’t wait for you all to listen in!
