In this episode I talk to my friend Dan, a father to a transgender teenager, Alex. The episode discusses family dynamics, school and societal response, and encourages parents to support and listen to their children, regardless of the life choices they make. If you have strong feelings either way about LGBTQ topics, you are welcome to listen along as Dan tells his story or turn off the show. Our family is a strong ally to those discovering their life may not proceed as they imagined, and we are raising our kids to be understanding and accepting as well. If you stick around, I know you'll enjoy the show.

This week I am talking with Nate Robinson, my Australian friend and podcast colleague. Nate produces the (Not So) Secret Dads Business podcast where he creates an atmosphere for men to feel comfortable sharing advice and ideas to help each other out through their challenges. In his own words the show, “Most dads aren't talking to each about their lives as dads, like it's some kind of secret. In this show, we're talking openly and honestly about fatherhood. We're making dad's business not so secret.” Please enjoy the show and check out Nate’s podcast at https://www.notsosecretdadsbusiness.com.

Today I am talking to my good friend Ron Sweetman. Ron was my boss years ago before I joined the state worker workforce. He always carried himself in a professional, ethical, and compassionate manner. His influence has stayed with me as an example of how to treat people with empathy and understanding that we are all from different places, but have so much in common. I hope you enjoy our talk about early childhood influences and how his growing up made him the dad and coach he is today. If you would like to learn more about Ron you can reach him at his website www.CoachRonSweetman.com and on LinkedIn at Coach Ron Sweetman.

In Part 2 Scott and I touch on racism and cuss words, as well as early family examples, the importance of Target, pandemic resilience, and some family gossip. Scott has a great sense of humor and I hope you enjoy the rest of our conversation.
This week’s episode is with my brother-in-law Scott Lawrence. Scott teaches architecture at the University of Idaho, Moscow. My conversation with Scott went pretty long, so I have split it into two parts. I hope you enjoy listening to Scott talk about his early influences with art, his departure from art after graduating, and how he rekindled the passion and returned to the work he loves!
I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself and give you an overview of what I want this podcast to be about.
