Welcome to another engaging episode of the Brothers Creed podcast. Our aim is to inspire fathers through the teaching of values, providing a blueprint for the next generation. In this episode, we delve into the significant and far-reaching concept of "foresight" with our hosts, Jared and Ethan, fathers of four.
Parenting is synonymous with provisioning for our families, necessitating a lot of foresight. 'Foresight' transcends mere prediction; it necessitates understanding the elements shaping the future and the competency to anticipate multiple eventualities. Amidst an era characterized by misinformation and disputes, discerning truth and thereby developing an accurate understanding of our environment is essential.
We probe the application of foresight across various careers, ranging from entrepreneurship, data science, healthcare systems, through to innovation, scientific research, and financial planning. Implementing foresight within these fields facilitates accurate future trend anticipation and superior strategic planning.
Despite the clear significance of foresight, certain institutions, such as government bodies, may not always apply it successfully. The ramifications of decisions made without sufficient foresight are evident in numerous facets of our society. However, acknowledging this deficiency serves as an impetus to adopt better decision-making approaches in the future.
Embark on this insightful journey as we unravel the essential role foresight plays, not only in parenting but across various life aspects. We share pertinent quotes emphasizing how our perspective influences perception, discuss foresight's role in preparing for various scenarios, and explore the biblical concept of the law of the harvest.
In addition, we underscore the importance of teaching children life skills, including anticipation and planning. Lastly, we offer practical advice on implementing foresight in daily routines and encourage listeners to join us in developing a stronger creed for a future that promises to be brighter.

Join in our exploration of the newly defined paradigms of fatherhood, modeling and living out virtues for children, and understanding the multi-layered role of a modern father. Diving into hot topics like setting boundaries, structured communication, emotional control, and gender roles, this episode provides an authentic view of what it takes to be a present, active, and positively connected father in today's world.
Finally, we journey towards an intriguing topic about self-improvement and its profound impact on one's parenting dynamics. The highlight is Pat's personal challenge of consciously refraining from yelling for a month and the ripple effects it had on his parental life. This episode swells with insights on intentional parenting, personal growth, and the looming possibility of becoming ‘harder to kill, easier to love’. We invite you to immerse in this thought-provoking and enriching conversation, promising to leave you with a fresh perspective on fatherhood.

On this Episode of A Brothers' Creed we review what is being called the American Chernobyl. The train derailment of 11 train cars in East Palestine, Ohio that contained cancerous causing toxic Vinyl Chloride. After the train was derailed to a supposed bad wheel bearing that could not control the leaking of these toxic chemicals onto the ground. After 3 days they "feared" that the tanks would explode so they released the full contents out of the tanks and lit it on fire with the hopes to fully combust and breakdown the chemical. Did it work? Should the residents be worried about the plumes of toxic black smoke and cancer causing chemicals being seeping into the ground water, or should the believe the government and Norfolk Southern, the company that owned the train? Maybe only time will tell.

On this Episode of A Brothers' Creed Podcast we break down the virtue of kindness. Especially during this holiday season, cheer and giving are in the air. Happiness and a lighter feeling seem to be all around. This is a great opportunity to develop kindness. Kindness is the deliberate consideration to help others. The opposite of kindness is cruelty which is the willingness to cause harm or suffering to others. There are seeming pros and cons to being kind. It can improve our mental and physical health, build stronger relationships, and even lead to professional success. On the contrary, if we are constantly sacrificing our own needs and wants for others, we may not be able to take care of ourselves properly, leading to negative consequences for our own well-being. Join us as we learn how to implement kindness into our own lives and we build our creeds together.

Rishi explains the challenges that can arise when a child is confused, angry, or upset about his/her situation. As a foster parent you want to protect the child as much as possible from the dark truth of the situation without being untruthful in your explanation. Ultimately we round out the episode by talking about the many different ways people can become involved with helping children in need.
I cannot help but think of Mathew 25:40 after this conversation:
".... Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Helping the most innocent and helpless of gods children among us is a noble work indeed.

A few additional notes from Tobe that didn’t make it into show.
What are some must have accessories on a rifle or pistol? - Magazines, weapon light, load-bearing belt, holster, magazine holder. - Optic, sling, waist or chest load bearing rig.
How much ammunition should you have on hand? - Minimum is 10 magazines' worth of ammo, but as much as you can afford. - Treat is like the grocery store does their shelves, have ample on-hand and resupply when you use some.
Should you store your mags loaded? - With very few exceptions, yes. Magazines are a depreciable resource, regardless of caliber. - Keep malfunctioning magazines for training purposes.

On this episode of A Brothers Creed Podcast we speak about the benefits of being confident and the harm it can have when taken to the point of arrogance. Sometimes too much of a good thing can lead to something harmful. We define, discuss and give examples of both of these traits.

We speak through some tactics to become more confident and how to not come across as arrogant. Sometimes we do not notice that we are being arrogant but in this episode we talk about how to identify it and fix it. Come along with us as we build our Creeds and act more confidently.
Quotes from the Brothers:
“Confidence is the building block for progression. You do not have to know everything but be willing to learn and become great. Never be ashamed of your weaknesses but be hopeful and optimistic in your ability to learn and achieve” - Ethan Thomas
"Walking the thin line of arrogance and confidence can carefully be done by leaning upon the Lord in humility and faith. If we trust in the lord and are honest with ourselves we will avoid the sin of pride that transforms confidence into arrogance." - Jared Thomas

On this episode of A Brother's Creed Podcast we speak with Terry Cook who has been in the life insurance industry for 30+ years. Terry is also the author of several books and a successful part time real estate investor. We start the episode by discussing the various types of life insurance and what generally how each works. Following this conversation, we dive into this concept of being your own banker. Terry talks about how he has used his high cash value Whole life insurance policy to not only fund his real estate investments but to also take advantage of several other benefits that owning a policy offers (called riders). Having long term care insurance, additional medical insurance, and other add-ons to a policy can prove worthwhile. The decision to purchase life insurance requires a long-term mentality and may involve some uncomfortable thoughts of what may happen if you or your spouse died, Terry advises it is best to think of those things now. Terry also walks us through some of the joys and pains he has gone through with his unique style of investing in real estate. In the end Terry shares some words of wisdom from a lifelong career in the finance industry on how we can set ourselves up for success.

On this episode of A Brothers' Creed we discuss the importance of self-awareness in our lives. Being in self-aware in the modern age is incredibly important, between micro and macro aggressions it is easy unintentionally offend someone. That does not mean we need to always walk on eggshells, but it is important to understand the impact our words and actions may have on others. We discuss how being self-aware makes people more fulfilled, more confident, better communicators, better leaders, more honest, and have better relationships. We share stories and talk about how not to be "that guy". You know, the one who clips his toenails in the middle of the office, while his fish is cooking in the microwave. Self-awareness and acting with intention, enables us to become better people and improves the lives of those around us.
“If you shoot at a target over and over again without checking where you are hitting you will never be able to make the appropriate adjustments to hit the intended spot. Through self-awareness we can be more intentional about our actions to become the person we want to become.” -Jared Thomas
“Be cognizant of how your actions affect those around you. Learn to speak with people in a considerate way and be willing to take criticism from those you care about.” -Ethan Thomas

On this episode of A Brothers' Creed Podcast we talk about how the world sees humility as a weakness but we prove how it can be an attribute of strength. We compare and contrast the worlds definition on humility to our own. We share personal experiences of how being humble and grateful are truly the twin characteristics of happiness. We share historic examples of humble men who despite great achievements did not pridefully boast of their accomplishments. Developing humility can be challenging in such a competitive world but without it we lose site of our humanity. Fostering humility within ourselves and our families will fortify us against the negative influences of society.
“When there is a lack of humility it can lead to pride and judgement. This can lead to anger and the destruction of relationships.” - Ethan Thomas
” Humility is the doorway and pride is the door. By removing pride and great pearls of wisdom will enter your life by the mouth of others and by the mouth of god. The more you can get that door out of the way the more blessings and wisdom can enter your life” - Jared Thomas

These formative years of a young man’s life need to be shaped by an environment where they are influenced by positive role models and given opportunities to have fun and grow. We talk about how Scouting should be a supplement to fatherhood and is not a replacement for being a well-rounded dad. At the end of the episode, we give an overall verdict on whether the program is worth it for young men these days.

On this episode of A Brothers' Creed Podcast, we discuss and reflect the psychology of failure.

We discuss the importance of failure and the role it plays in teaching us throughout our lives. We share our personal quotes on failure:
"Sometimes the pain of failure leaves scars that can hurt for a long time, but what separates true failure from success is how we respond to it. Not learning from things that don’t go how we planned is the true definition of failure” - Ethan Thomas
“If you are afraid to fail, you'll be afraid to try new things, if you don’t try new things you will never grow to meet your full potential. Falling short of your potential is the true failure. “ – Jared Thomas

Correctly fathering children in today’s world can be a complex and difficult target to hit. In this Episode we discuss 3 principal questions about fatherhood. First, what is the main goal of a fatherhood? Second, what characteristics do good fathers have? Thirdly, how do I become a better father to teach and lead my children? Joins us as we share stories and experiences from our childhood and now as fathers. This episode aims to build our CREED so that we can raise children who will positively impact the future.
Quotes from the Brothers on Fatherhood:
"A father’s role is to plant the seeds of character into the hearts of his children and provide an atmosphere where those seeds can grow. Then it is to empower them with grit and self-confidence to continue to grow those seeds. When those children leave the home, they won’t have full grown trees but they will know how to grow the saplings they have." – Jared Thomas
"What we say matters, what we do matters, but what we need to understand is that their lives and futures are in our hands. Your best is all they can ask for but our everything is what we have to give."- Ethan Thomas
