Raising daughters is challenging and amazing!
Girls are physiologically different, they think differently, act differently, react differently, and have very unique needs.
They DESPERATELY need dads who are deeply involved and fully engaged in their lives; dads who hear them, see them, understand them and SUPPORT them.
Remember, girls are little women and need to be respected and treated as such.
There are some serious do's and don'ts with daughters.
Your daughters entire paradigm about men, marriage, and life will be influenced and probably determined by their observation and relationship with you.
In today's episode I speak with my two oldest daughters about their experience with me and insights they have for other dads.

Fast cars, big trucks, off road vehicles, guns, knives, boats, motorcycles, toys, sports, politics, religion, fitness, adventure, entertainment, movies, etc. While all of those things can be valuable and beneficial, they can each become a destructive force in family life, if not diligently kept within specific boundaries.Unfortunately, most men don’t have or don’t enforce the boundaries to prevent the wreckage.In this episode, I walk through how I evaluate if the things I like are helping or hurting me as a husband, father, and businessman, and how they affect my family and our family legacy.

Every man has a figurative sword that he can and MUST use to do good in the world.
He has a responsibility, a moral obligation, to use his sword to fight for himself, his family, what he believes in, and others who can't protect themselves.
He has to use it to defend truth, virtue, and freedom.
He also has a responsibility to attack what is evil, malicious, and wrong.
But most men haven't even picked up their sword! They're too distracted, too tired, too disengaged, too complacent, too comfortable.

We all experience life differently, and almost all of us end up with wounds and scars along the way. Because of how we were raised, and what we experienced along life’s path, it affects how we show up in our relationships. It makes some of us hesitant or distant. Others will be needy or clingy. Some will be sensitive and reactive, while others may struggle with trust and intimacy. All of these struggles can be healed and resolved, and that is what this episode is all about.

Are you really, truly prepared for the upcoming chaos?
Are your children ready to face hardship, do hard things, and not only launch into adult life, but actually launch and lead in tough times.
We live in crazy times. But that's not new.
A quick glance at history reveals the patterns of chaos and mayhem throughout time and societies.
What have you been doing to establish solid peak performance preparation?
Most are doing nothing.
Some are doing a little.
Very, very few are truly prepared.
My guess is that about 1% of men are prepared.
The scary, sad part is that many men THINK they are prepared, but lack a deeper understanding of what it takes and what's at stake.
They are not ready because they haven't yet paid the price in time, tools, and training.

Today's guest, Ryan King, reminds men that the really basic stuff is actually mind-blowing and can produce phenomenal results!
Be more reliable. Be more consistent.
Become better men by sharing the things that work and helping others succeed.
The opposite of a man is not a woman; it's a boy.
He also challenges us to ask penetrating questions.
Are you are driven to help others as you are to succeed?
Are you as willing to get help as you are to give help?
Look around at society. You see all the trouble and problems.
Who is going to step up and lead? Will you?
Of 100 people in a desperate situation, only 5 will come out of it. Only 1 will lead.
It’s almost impossible to fail if you just keep doing the right actions.

This strategy is simple. But don't let the simplicity fool you. It's profound and powerful. Nor does simple mean easy. It will require some mental effort. But if you do this for each important role in your life, you will have a better understanding of exactly what it means and how to win in each role.

What effect is your ego having in your life? Seriously. How does it show up in your relationship with your wife? With your kids and their dreams and mistakes? With your work, your life purpose, your community?
The ego gets in the way of everything! It tries to stick its foot or nose into every little aspect of our lives, and very often succeeds.
Then it creates a false reality. You and I begin to see things that are NOT actually there. We take our seats in Plato's Cave and believe the manufactured 'truths' that are right in front of us.
In this episode I share the ideas of some great thinkers, ancient and modern, about how you and I can dismiss the ego and see things as they really are, which obviously makes life SO much better.

There's a social and economic storm coming that very well may be the worst of our life times. That's not dramatic; it's just a cyclical pattern in history and it seems to be our turn.
I hope they're wrong. But I don't think so. History says otherwise, and who are we to think we can escape what has always happened in recorded history.
So assuming they are right, for the sake of being wise, what can and ought you to do to prepare for what's coming?
There's so much!

Growth doesn't always have to be a grind. Progress isn't always painful. There are ways to fuel your fire for personal greatness, and enjoy every bit of it.
In today's episode I share what gets me so fired up about learning and growing, and how all of us can implement it into our lives in a consistent, sustainable way.
We were created to grow and improve. You were born to rise.
And as long as you don't put out the flame, your inner fire can fuel your desire and drive to become a Great Force For Good in the world and absolutely LOVE gaining the knowledge and skills that make you an asset to humanity.
Have you ever asked yourself if it would be okay to settle for a little less in order to avoid some of the hard work?
I know I have.
I’ve often wondered if it was all worth it.
But then I realized I was going about it all wrong.
Who says progress has to be painful?
Does growth always have to be a grind?
I’ve been told that before.
You probably have too.
And I used to believe it.
I remember thinking that winning would take so much work… and I wondered if it would be worth it.
Is it worth all the effort to get into and stay in excellent health?
Is it worth all the work to become wealthy?
To move to a better area?
To switch to a better career?
To seriously level up your lifestyle?
Wouldn’t it be okay to settle for a little less so that you can avoid some of the hard work?
The problem, at least as I see it, is that most people are making it much harder than it needs to be.
They’re chronically operating in a form of subconscious self sabotage....
and that’s why it seems so difficult to rise.
Think about it.
If your favorite freshly baked cookies are sitting on the kitchen island on a nice platter, but you’re not eating cookies, how hard is it going to be to keep your commitment?
Or if you’ve set a goal to gain a new skill, but you spend most of your free time with people who watch a lot of movies, how hard is it going to be to ‘sacrifice’ your enjoyment in order to put in the time and effort to gain the skill?
See the problem?
It’s part of the Principle of Proximity. (Which I explain in this episode)
And most people are using it against themselves, instead of in their favor.
Progress doesn’t have to be painful.
Growth doesn’t have to be a grind.
Moving upward can be amazing and exciting…
But you have to set yourself up for success.
Go listen to it today (and be sure to subscribe if you haven't already) to learn the 3 critical elements to sustainable, ENJOYABLE, long-lasting improvement, and why I’m so excited about the next few months.

Show notes:
Only really good, really dangerous men can keep evil men and tyrants from committing atrocities on innocent people.
You may think that negotiations will work, you may hope that sanctions will be enough, but there are some people who only understand violence.
I am not looking for a fight.
I hope you are not looking for a fight.
But if a fight comes to my doorstep, you better believe I will come out with strength and strategy.
I sincerely hope you never have to take another man’s life, but if some trash bag brings the threat of death to you or your family, be ready to send him to the next life. He has forfeited his right to remain here.
But when you have become so soft with semantics that the certain usage of a pronoun offends you as though it were an act of violence against you, you set yourself up to have your face smashed in by a tyrant and a bully who is committing real acts of violence.
Cultivate intellectual and verbal competence.
Learn how to win with words, to persuade with paragraphs, to Influence with intelligence.
Train yourself yourself to be articulate. That’s power.
From CNN World:
Ex-President of Russia Medvedev said,
"I believe it is obvious to intelligent people: sanctions are a myth, a threat, a figure of speech. I am fundamentally indifferent to these widely publicized restrictions of rights abroad,"
Medvedev said in a post on Russian social network VK on Saturdav.
"The reason for the sanctions is this. It is political impotence arising from inability to change Russia's course. Also, a hope to make up for the shameful decisions like the cowardly flight from Afghanistan."
Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of the Security Council, added: "These amazing prohibitions will change nothing, of course. Even the ignorant people at the State Department know this"
The ex-president went on to compare the incursion into Ukraine. with Russia's militarv operation in Georgia in 2008.
"The military operation] will be conducted in full, until all the obiectives the president of Russia has set out are achieved no more and no less As it was in a similar situation in 2008" he said.
