Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast.I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk with special guest appearance from my wife, Andrea.Today we talk about the importance of keeping our children’s minds sharp and engaged over the summer.Keeping kids engaged in reading over the summer is crucial for their academic and cognitive development.It helps them stay sharp and ready for the upcoming school year. Reading not only enhances their language and literacy skills, but also improves their comprehension, critical thinking, and creativity.It exposes them to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives, expanding their knowledge and understanding of the world. Moreover, reading during the summer prevents the "summer slide," which refers to the loss of academic skills and knowledge during the long break.By making reading a habit, children develop a love for learning and become lifelong readers.It is important for parents and caregivers to encourage and provide opportunities for kids to read, such as visiting libraries, creating a reading routine, and engaging in book discussions.By keeping kids engaged in reading, we empower them to become informed, imaginative, and confident individuals.Dad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/Daduptribe--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk!Today we're diving into a topic that can have a profound impact on our parenting journey: the power of positive affirmations.Positive affirmations are powerful statements that can help shape our mindset and outlook on life.When applied to parenting, they can play a significant role in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for our children.So, let's explore how positive affirmations can positively impact our parenting journey.To start, it's important to understand what positive affirmations are. Positive affirmations are statements that reflect our desired outcomes or qualities.They are often repeated to ourselves in order to reinforce positive beliefs and thoughts.In parenting, positive affirmations can help us develop a positive mindset, build confidence, and improve our relationships with our children.Positive affirmations have several benefits in the context of parenting. Firstly, they can help us focus on the strengths and positive qualities of our children.By affirming their capabilities and unique qualities, we can boost their self-esteem and encourage them to embrace their individuality.Secondly, positive affirmations can improve our own self-confidence as parents.Parenting can be challenging, and self-doubt is natural.But by affirming our abilities, we can foster a sense of empowerment and resilience, allowing us to navigate parenting with greater confidence.Now, let's explore how we can incorporate positive affirmations into our daily parenting routine.One effective way is to create a list of affirmations that resonate with us and align with our parenting goals. These affirmations can be written down or repeated to ourselves regularly, especially during moments of stress or doubt.Additionally, we can involve our children in the process.Encouraging them to create their own positive affirmations can empower them and teach them the importance of self-belief and positive thinking.By practicing affirmations together, we create a supportive and uplifting environment for our entire family.As we wrap up today's episode, it's essential to remember that positive affirmations are not a magical solution to all parenting challenges. However, when practiced consistently and with genuine belief, they can create a positive and nurturing environment for both ourselves and our childrenDad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/Daduptribe--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk!One of the most challenging things we can experience as parents is the power struggle with our kids.So how do we avoid the power struggle? This episode will help you as parents avoid this issue.Here are some tips for avoiding power struggles with your child:1. Set clear and consistent rules: Make sure your child knows what is expected of them and what the consequences will be if they do not follow the rules.2. Use positive reinforcement: Praise your child for good behavior, rather than focusing only on correcting misbehavior.3. Avoid arguing or negotiating: If you give in to your child's demands, it can reinforce their belief that they can get what they want through power struggles. Instead, calmly and firmly state your expectations and stick to them.4. Give your child choices: Giving your child the opportunity to make choices can help them feel more in control and less likely to engage in power struggles.5. Encourage independent thinking: Encourage your child to solve problems and make decisions on their own, rather than always relying on you to make things happen.6. Stay calm: It can be tempting to get upset when your child challenges your authority, but try to remain calm and composed. This can help deescalate the situation and prevent it from turning into a power struggle.7. Be a good role model: Children learn by example, so make sure you model the behavior you want to see from your child.Remember that power struggles are a normal part of child development, and they will likely occur from time to time.The important thing is to stay consistent and use positive discipline strategies to teach your child how to manage their behavior and emotions.Dad UpDad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/Daduptribe--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk!I want to dive into the concept of positive discipline and how it can benefit both parents and children. As parents, we strive to raise confident, compassionate, and well-behaved children.But sometimes, traditional discipline methods can leave us feeling frustrated, disconnected, and unsure if we're truly helping our children grow. That's where positive discipline comes in and in this episode I dive into some basic principles you can incorporate into your parenting journey to help with positive discipline.Positive discipline is a transformative approach to parenting that focuses on teaching rather than punishing.It empowers children by fostering self-discipline, problem-solving skills, and healthy relationships.This method involves setting clear expectations, using consistent consequences, and effective communication.By allowing children to experience the natural or logical consequences of their actions, they learn responsibility and gain valuable life skills.Positive discipline strikes a balance between setting boundaries and allowing children to grow and learn. It is a journey of personal growth for both parents and children, creating strong connections and emotional intelligence.Thank you for joining me today, and remember, embracing positive discipline can truly transform our parenting journey.Please make sure you are subscribed to my show!

NEW EPISODE RELEASEDClick the links below or in my bio.Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk!Today, I want to talk to you about an important topic that we sometimes overlook – teaching accountability to our kids.It's not always easy, but it's incredibly important, especially when it comes to our kids.Let me explain why.Our kids look up to us, and they learn from our behavior more than we realize.When we own our mistakes, we teach them a valuable lesson about accountability and integrity.By admitting our mistakes, we show our children that it's okay to make them too.We create an environment where they feel safe to take risks, learn, and grow.Owning our mistakes also helps build trust and strong relationships with our kids.They see that we're not perfect, but we're willing to learn and improve.So, how can we effectively own our mistakes and set a positive example for our children? Here are a few tips:1. Acknowledge the mistake: Be honest with yourself and your child about what went wrong. Admitting our faults is the first step towards growth.2. Learn from it: Discuss with your child what you've learned from the mistake and how you plan to avoid it in the future. This demonstrates the importance of learning from our failures.3. Move forward: Show your child that mistakes don't define us. Emphasize the importance of resilience and perseverance in overcoming challenges.When our children witness us owning our mistakes, it empowers them to do the same.They learn that making mistakes is a natural part of life and that it's okay to ask for forgiveness.It also strengthens the bond between parent and child, creating an open and honest relationship based on trust and understanding.So, let's remember, fellow parents, that owning our mistakes is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.By showing our children that it's okay to be imperfect, we equip them with the tools they need to navigate through life's challenges.Own your mistakes, be a role model, and watch your children thrive.Please make sure you check out my links in my bio.Dad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/Daduptribe--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Today, we will be discussing a topic that is both easy to understand and implement in everyday parenting: the power of positive reinforcement.Positive reinforcement is a simple yet effective technique that can have a significant impact on your child's behavior and overall development.Join me as I explore how this approach can make parenting a little bit easier and more enjoyable.Segment 1: Understanding Positive Reinforcement- Definition: Positive reinforcement involves acknowledging and rewarding desirable behaviors to encourage their repetition.- How it works: By focusing on the positive, parents can create a nurturing environment that enhances their child's motivation, self-esteem, and overall well-being.- Examples of positive reinforcement: Verbal praise, hugs, high-fives, small rewards, and privileges can all serve as effective forms of positive reinforcement.Segment 2: Benefits of Positive Reinforcement- Building a strong parent-child bond: Positive reinforcement helps foster a positive connection between parents and children, creating a foundation of trust and open communication.- Encouraging desired behaviors: By acknowledging and rewarding positive behaviors, parents can motivate their children to continue exhibiting those behaviors.- Boosting self-esteem and confidence: Positive reinforcement helps children develop a positive self-image and belief in their abilities, leading to increased confidence and resilience.Segment 3: Practical Tips for Implementing Positive Reinforcement- Be specific and timely: Offer specific praise and rewards immediately after your child displays the desired behavior.- Consistency is key: Maintain a consistent approach to positive reinforcement to establish clear expectations and help your child understand what behaviors are valued.- Use a variety of rewards: Tailor rewards to your child's interests and preferences, considering both tangible rewards (stickers, small treats) and intangible rewards (extra playtime, a special activity).Segment 4: Overcoming Challenges and Potential Pitfalls- Avoid over-rewarding: Balance is crucial to prevent children from becoming overly reliant on external rewards and losing intrinsic motivation.- Addressing unwanted behaviors: Focus on redirecting and teaching alternative behaviors rather than solely using punishment or negative reinforcement.- Adjusting strategies as your child grows: As your child matures, their motivations and interests may change. Adapt your positive reinforcement techniques accordingly.Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool that can transform the parenting experience.By focusing on the positive, acknowledging and rewarding desired behaviors, we can create an environment that fosters growth, confidence, and a strong parent-child bond.Remember, parenting is a journey, and incorporating positive reinforcement can make that journey a little easier and more rewarding for both you and your child. Thanks for tuning in to today's episode, and we look forward to sharing more valuable insights with you in our future episodes.Dad Up!--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

I’m excited to share this new series with you!Parenting Pep Talk:Setting Boundaries on Social MediaIn our modern digital age, the allure and influence of social media on our children cannot be understated.As parents and guardians, it is our responsibility to guide and protect our children in this vast online landscape.Today, I want to talk about the importance of setting boundaries for our kids on social media.First and foremost, we must recognize that social media platforms can be both a blessing and a curse for our children.While they offer opportunities for connection, learning, and self-expression, they also expose our kids to potential risks such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and loss of privacy.Setting boundaries on social media is not about restricting our children's freedom, but rather about empowering them to navigate this digital world safely and responsibly.It's about teaching them the importance of digital citizenship and online etiquette.So, what do these boundaries look like?They may include: Age-appropriate usage: Ensuring that our children are old enough and mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with using social media. Limiting screen time: Establishing reasonable limits on the amount of time our children spend on social media each day to prevent overexposure and addiction. Monitoring activity: Keeping an eye on our children's social media accounts and conversations to protect them from potential dangers and intervene when necessary. Educating about privacy: Teaching our children the importance of safeguarding their personal information and privacy online, including being cautious about who they connect with and what they share.* Encouraging open communication: Creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where our children feel comfortable discussing their experiences, concerns, and questions about social media.By setting and enforcing these boundaries, we can help our children develop healthy digital habits, protect them from harm, and empower them to make informed decisions online.In conclusion, as parents, it is our responsibility to guide and protect our children in the digital age.By setting boundaries for our kids on social media, we can help them navigate this complex online world safely and responsibly.Dad Up!--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you.My guest today is Jason Wood. He’s a dad, combat vet and endurance athlete.Jason Wood's incredible fitness journey is nothing short of a remarkable adventure that unfolded after his graduation from college in 2004.Fueled by a sense of duty and patriotism, Jason joined the U.S. Army as an officer, dedicating seven years to active duty and undergoing three intense combat tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.This period taught him invaluable lessons in discipline, resilience, and the importance of pushing one's limits.In 2011, Jason transitioned to a career as a Department of Defense contractor, marking a turning point in his life.It was during this period that he discovered a profound passion for endurance challenges, using them as a vehicle for personal growth and transformation.One defining moment in Jason's fitness journey was his completion of a staggering 101-mile run in just 36 hours while wearing a 20-pound tactical weight vest.Undeterred by the magnitude of his accomplishments, Jason set an even more daunting goal, running an astounding 150 miles in 48 hours on a treadmill.Jason's pursuit of challenges continues with his upcoming attempt to break the Guinness World Record for solo tire flipping—a 100kg (220lb) tire for 24 consecutive hours.As a father to a 9-year-old daughter, Jason's journey transcends personal achievement.His successful summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021 inspired his daughter to embark on her own mountain-climbing adventure at just 7 years old, demonstrating the impact of leading by example.Jason couldn't have been prouder of his daughter for approaching the challenge with such enthusiasm. Jason's dedication to being a strong father goes beyond the physical accomplishments; it extends into the realm of teaching life lessons about perseverance, setting goals, and the importance of giving back.His daughter witnesses firsthand that a strong foundation built on discipline and determination can lead to personal growth and the ability to make a positive impact on the lives of others.Behind these triumphs lies a more profound story of resilience. Jason has faced personal struggles, including alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, and the weight of PTSD, depression, and anxiety from his military experiences. The outdoors and fitness became his sanctuary, offering a lifeline to mental stability and recovery.Jason's journey reflects not only the boundless potential of the human spirit but also the profound healing power of the outdoors and physical fitness. His battles with alcoholism and PTSD found solace in the discipline and structure of his fitness regimen. The endorphins released during intense workouts became a powerful antidote to the darkness of depression and anxiety, allowing him to regain control of his mental health.Jason's mission extends beyond personal triumph.Through his journey, he seeks to inspire others to overcome their own battles and embrace a brighter future.Make sure you check out Jason Wood’s links below or in show notes.As always, please make sure you are subscribed to my show so you don’t miss any of my awesome guests.Dad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/DaduptribeJason Wood’s Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jfloydwoodJason Wood’s Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jason.wood--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you.Most of Ryan Michler’s childhood was spent without a permanent father figure.He never learned how to work on his car. He never had the chance to roughhouse with his dad. He didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until he was a freshman in high school.Looking back on it now, Ryan wonders how his life would have been different if he had a permanent male influence in his life.What would the world look like if there were more men in it?Ryan’s not talking about males. He is talking about MEN (there is a difference).Now that he has sons of his own, he is committed to being the dad that he never had.Ryan and his sons do all kinds of great things together – sports (he coach’s ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til they are exhausted.As he talks with other men, he can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father.But Ryan also sees a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home.Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!And that is why Ryan started Order of Man.Ryan shows through practical principles what it means to be a man and return to our roots of masculinity.In this episode, we speak to the role of a man and father in the household and what is means to take back our masculinity.Dad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/DaduptribeRyan Michler Instagram:https://instagram.com/ryanmichlerOrder of Man Instagram:https://instagram.com/orderofmanOrder of Man Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/order-of-man/id979752171Ryan Michler Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ryanmichlerOrder of Man Iron Council:https://orderofman.clickfunnels.com/get-started1692900401137--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

You might know Billy Huard as the guy who spent 7 years throwing down on the ice in the NHL, or as the corporate guy who spent over 23 years in the business world. Today, he is on a mission to help you find your own purpose worth fighting for.As a coach and author, here to spread the message that no matter how tough life gets…From the heights of the NHL to the depths of alcoholism and back, Billy Huard has survived highs and lows that many people don’t.And for that, he is eternally grateful. To be honest, it’s been a wild ride. Let me explain…Playing professional hockey was a dream come true, and Billy was able to achieve incredible things during his years on the ice. Billy’s career began in a tiny town in Ontario, Canada, where he first laced up his skates at the age of 5. From that moment on, he was hooked. Eventually, he found himself playing for amazing teams, like the Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings – living out his dream in the NHL.Billy became known for his fighting skills on the ice as an enforcer.He has fought the toughest players of his time and had one of the highest winning percentages in the heavyweight class in that era. And while it was all part of the game he dedicated his life to it!It wasn’t smooth sailing.The truth was, Billy wasn’t wired to be violent at all. It wasn’t his nature.But hi wanted to keep playing in the NHL, so he fought and fought on the ice until he barely recognized myself anymore.Living life as someone he wasn’t took an incredible toll on Billy.Off the ice, he faced his own demons.Alcoholism, depression, anxiety – they were like opponents he couldn’t fight with his fists.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share these amazing guests with you.Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share these amazing guests with you.My guest today is Jeff Lerner. His mission is to help people unlock their full potential and design their dream life.He has been shaped by his choices and regrets none of them. At 16, he chose to get himself fired from the only job he ever had.At 17, he chose to drop out of high school and become a musician.At 18, he chose to start his first business and also made the choices that led to its failure.In his 20s, he chose to start 10 more businesses after that first failure and fail at them too.And he chose to keep going still, ultimately founding multiple successful companies and generating over $100 million in sales. In his 30s, he also chose to go to therapy, start working on himself, and become the husband/father/man he was born to be.At 39, instead of retiring he chose to commit his life to helping others and developed “the 3X3 Success Matrix”, a complete life operating system for entrepreneurs.That in turn became the foundation for ENTRE, the world’s first “Entrepreneurial Life Design” platform and one of the fastest growing education companies in the world with over 200,000 students in its first 3 years.All Jeff’s life he has chosen to disregard the advice of the people who wanted him to play it safe because they loved him.Instead, Jeff chose to believe he was created for a life less ordinary and followed his heart.He believes every person on earth has that same choice to make – each of us can choose to unlock our full potential by believing in and developing ourselves.Jeff has devoted the 2nd half of his life to evangelizing that choice and teaching a system to help people see it through.Make sure you check out Jeff’s links below.Dad Up!Dad Up Instagram:https://instagram.com/daduppodcastDad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/DaduptribeJeff Lerner Instagram:https://instagram.com/jefflernerofficialJeff Lerner LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/JeffLernerJeff Lerner Faceboook:https://www.facebook.com/jefflernerofficialJeff Lerner YouTube:https://youtube.com/@JeffLernerofficialJeff Lerner LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jefflernerofficial--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

As an entrepreneur, former executive, husband, and father of three, Cory Carlson understands the pressures working parents face.
He is passionate about helping business leaders win at home and work. Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level.
But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages, and absentee parents.
Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.
When Cory discovered coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband, and father.
So he left his corporate career to help other leaders win at work and at home.
Cory does this through executive coaching, speaking, and writing. Currently, Cory lives in Cincinnati with his awesome wife and three amazing children.
Cory has a Civil Engineer degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.
His first book released in June 2019 titled, Win at Home First, and is an inspirational guide for work-life balance.
His book was Amazon's #1 New Release in 3 Categories and listed in FORBES as ‘7 Books Everyone On Your Team Should Read’. Cory just released his second book, Rise and Go. This book is a resource to help leaders get back up quicker after getting knocked down from the challenges of leadership and life.
He hosts the leadership podcast, Win at Home First, a Top 1.5% global podcast per ListenNotes.

Over the last 30+ plus years David has built quite a successful life by most measures.
He is a Husband, Father, and a semi-retired Sr. Network Engineer.
Getting into computers at a relatively young age he had a solid career!
He bought his first house at 24 years old and his second at 27.
However, this was all in spite of the know-it-all rebellious nature, massive lack of discipline, & substance abuse issues you might expect from a Gen X'er that grew up in the East Bay, California in the 90's.
His addiction to escaping reality & experimenting with drugs started around 13-14 years old which took James through high school, rehab, jail, and a meth problem by the time he was 18.
The last time he touched that stuff was in a County County jail in 1995 but that is only where the rest of his story begins.
David has quite the story and he shares all of it and more in this amazing interview.

Those that meet Justin Pickens and hear his back story always respond with similar statements; “I can’t believe you turned out the way you have” or, “What an overcomer”.Born to two loving parents who dealt with their own demons of mental illness and addiction, Justin’s childhood was riddled with poverty, dysfunction, and domestic abuse. Statistically speaking, Justin and his younger brother, Tommy, most likely should have followed in their parents' footsteps. However, despite their own personal short falls, Justin’s parents instilled positive attributes through support and high expectations that led Justin to success. Justin was the first member from his dad’s side of the family to graduate from college and has since earned two masters degrees. For the past 13 years, Justin has served as a teacher and coach for multiple sports. Currently, Justin has recently transitioned careers and works for Edward Jones as a financial advisor in training. Over the past 6 months, Justin has been working part-time for Streamline Books, a hybrid publishing company that helps others tell their stories.Working for Streamline, Justin found his way on to LinkedIn and has enjoyed sharing his own stories by creating content and posting on LinkedIn. Justin is married to his wife Kyndra and has a two year old son named Whit and a newborn girl named Gentry. They reside in Kansas City, Missouri.

Mike Donehey has seen his fair share of the unexpected. Following a potentially fatal car crash as a teen, Mike learned to play the guitar while still in bed recovering from his injuries.Learning the guitar quickly gave birth to songwriting, and that songwriting quickly led to the formation of a band.That band, Tenth Avenue North, became one of the most loved and successful artists in Christian music.Beginning with their acclaimed national debut, Over and Underneath, Tenth Avenue North’s audience multiplied with each new album and hit song, like radio favorites “Love Is Here,” “By Your Side,” “You Are More,” “Losing,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope,” and multi-week no. 1 smash “Control (Somehow You Want Me).”At the beginning of 2020, despite widespread notoriety and a devout following, Tenth Avenue North’s members began to sense they each had their own unexpected and unique roads to follow.Mike has seized this opportunity, reveling in the excitement to expand as a storyteller, communicator and thought instigator wherever his voice is heard.Mike’s acclaimed book, Finding God’s Life for My Will, was an immediate best-seller upon its release.Now his next book, Grace In The Gray, is becoming just as popular at his first book.Mike’s podcast, Chasing the Beauty, looks for the joy of God in the places we didn’t think it could be on the AccessMore network.Perhaps most exciting has been Mike’s writing and producing new music.His acclaimed solo album Flourish is just the beginning of the flow of new music coming our way.The unexpected has a way of disrupting our lives in ways we might not have ever chosen.For Mike, learning to embrace the unexpected has been the very thing that has brought forth encouraging and soul-healing art time and time again.Looking forward, Mike is trusting to be led in any way that will allow him to continue to serve and inspire.Dad Up!Dad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up Website:https://www.daduptribe.com/Dad Up Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/daduppodcast/Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/DaduptribeMike Donehey’s Website:https://www.mikedonehey.comMike Donehey’s Instagram:https://instagram.com/mikedoneheyMike Donehey YouTube:https://youtube.com/@tenthavenuenorthMike Donehey’s Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/MikeDoneheyOfficialTenth Avenue North:https://www.tenthavenuenorth.com/--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daduppodcast/support

Before Travis Stoetzel started the 'Forged Father" movement, he was an athlete. He played college football and baseball, then went on to play a bit of professional football. When Travis realized he wasn't going to make a living playing football, that's when he decided to become a coach.In 2009, Travis started a gym, The Forged Athlete and for years, he had the pleasure of training 1,000's of different men from all walks of life. From your day to day desk jockey to Navy SEALS and Olympic level athletes, he was an expert at getting men strong, lean, fit and "UNCOMMON". His journey as a “Forged Father” officially started after he became a dad.It was 8 months after he had his first daughter when his wife told him one night that she felt “2nd best” behind everything else he was doing.That hurt and stabbed him in the heart.He was buried in his profession trying his best to hustle and grind for his family when the truth was, he was distracted. His wife being “2nd best” was the truth and it scared the heck outta Travis to think about possibly losing her and his daughter. That night lit the fire for him to become a better man. No more was Travis going to put off taking control of his busy life. No more was he going to talk about doing it, but was going to BECOME the man he needed to be for his family.That’s when the “FORGED FATHER” was created. The mission was to become a present husband, a deeply connected father, a super successful professional, all while being strong and jacked athlete. A man FIT TO LEAD HIS FAMILY or what Travis calls, an “UNCOMMON MAN”What he developed is a method to bring all of these areas together that would mesh into your lifestyle. He’s proven this method by loving and leading the lifestyle he preaches.Travis made it to the CrossFit Games as a Masters athlete and got 7th in the world all while being a dad, husband and business owner. Travis and his wife have been married now for over 10 years and have 4 daughters and things have been great. He fully backs all of the success of the system he created for himself to become a Forged Father and UNCOMMON MAN. Over this time Travis has been able to take nearly 1,000 dads through this same process helping them achieve similar results. Men have lost the unwanted weight and gotten themselves back into their best shape ever. They’ve mended their marriages. They’ve deepened their connection with their kids and they’ve leveled up and professionals. The Forged Father is based upon what we call the” CORE 5 Daily Non-Negotiables”. Comprised of 5 daily ACTIONS that are all intentional in building an uncommon man. The five are FITNESS, FUEL, FOCUS, FRAME, and of course, FAMILY. As a result, men earn back and increase their FUN, FREEDOM, and FAITH in life. This simple system Travis has broken down further into what he calls “RISE AND CONQUER” which helps him get control of his day before it actually gets started and has been his saving grace. It’s help him earn back his time, increase his energy, and deepen his connections in life as it has and will for 1,000’s of more dads into the future. All in the pursuit of refusing average and becoming an UNCOMMON MANDad Up!Dad Up YouTube:https://youtube.com/c/DadUpPodcastDad Up Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dad-up-podcast/id1486764562Dad Up Website:https://www.daduptribe.com/Dad Up Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/daduppodcast/Dad Up LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/DaduptribeForged Father Sign Up:https://destroydadbod.com/uncommon-man-path---opt-in-pageForged Fathers Website:Forged StrongTravis Stoetzel Instagram:https://instagram.com/theforgedfatherTravis Stoetzel Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/tstoetzel?mibextid=LQQJ4dTravis Stoetzel LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/travis-stoetzel-a92051b--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/daduppodcast/support

Musician and singer-songwriter David Rosales joined this episode of Dad Up just before starting his summer road tour.
Rooted in Americana and bathing in West Coast sunshine, Los Angeles-native David Rosales aims to provide a light at the end of the Pandemic Tunnel with his new 12-track sophomore LP, REVIVE (out July 22, 2022). “Strange times need good vibes,” says Rosales. “I’m ready to give the world a much needed dose of positivity.”
Following his acclaimed 2018 debut, Brave Ones, and subsequent tours, Rosales settled into MAPS Studios in Fullerton, CA to record REVIVE in late February of 2020 with his friend, co-producer and touring drummer, Mike Willson. With the addition of a 'Memphis Horns' style brass section to his group of backing musicians, Rosales makes it clear that his sound has grown since the release of Brave Ones.
The majority of tracking was completed during a two week session and with REVIVE finished, Rosales and his Band of Scoundrels were set to hit the ground running in 2020 with tours planned both domestically and abroad. Then, COVID and the lockdown hit.
Rosales is more than just a musician. He is an outdoorsman, family man and does everything he can to give back to the community.
He's never one to sit still and with REVIVE shelved due to the pandemic, Rosales shifted gears.
Seeing how scared & stretched his community was, he took to playing weekly neighborhood “Driveway Hop” concerts so people could have a release and feel socially connected.
Additionally, through his non-profit charity, BraveOnes Foundation, Rosales was able to distribute PPE's and Meaningful Meals to various in-need families and health care heroes throughout his local community.
With REVIVE's summer release on the horizon, David Rosales & His Band of Scoundrels are set to hit the road, offering an uplifting and spirited live performance.
If you check out his website, you can look up your dates and locations to hear some incredible uplifting music.

Kayla Stoecklein became an unexpected widow in August 2018 when her husband, Andrew, the pastor of their large church in California, died by suicide.
With three young boys also grieving and a heart full of pain, she began sharing her struggles that she captured in Fear Gone Wild released September 2020. She is also sharing the rebuilding process in her new book Rebuilding Beautiful which you can preorder now.
Kayla is an advocate for those confronting mental illness. It became her mission to bring hope and faith-filled help to others who have faced unexpected hardships, showing them that they not only have a purpose, but that they can build a beautiful life once again.
There's a stigma around mental illness, especially towards people of faith. We often think that suicide is selfish. Kayla will tell you that this is false and something she is passionate about correcting.
Kayla is very raw and honest about her experience and the grief that sets in each and every day.
The truth is, most people suffer from some form of anxiety, fear, anger, all the way to depression and some cases of severe depression.
There are so many things you can take from this conversation, but the most important thing I want you to hear is that you are NEVER alone. You are LOVED and SUPPORTED by so many people, more than you know.
If you are struggling or just need someone to talk to please call suicide hotline 1-800-273-8255 or you can text "home" to 471741 for crisis help.
If you can do anything for me, it would be that you not only watch/listen to this video but to please SHARE it as I know it could save someone's life. Let's break the stigma together and continue the conversation.
God Bless you all. Dad Up!

Chris Ross has joined me on the Dad Up Podcast. In this episode we dive deep into his relationship with his daughter and what he learned from his own father and grandfather.
After over a decade of being behind the scenes of several billion-dollar companies, Chris Ross elevated into the elite status of the Top 1% of the sales industry internationally.
He learned how to make that next leap into the challenging transition to serial entrepreneurship by brokering over 1.9 billion dollar deals over his tenure of CHRIS ROSS® Companies which he now serves as Chairman.
Chris is also the creator of 2 Nationally Accredited Sales/ Business programs. In addition, he structured a deal in early 2020 to sell to a trade school corporation that operates in over 60+ online and on-campus locations.
Chris created several top-rated shows, WINJECT Radio, The Jesslee Roadshow & The WIN-WIN Effect, all presented by his all-in-one education broadcasting & media corporation WINJECT Studios.
Additionally, he operates as an Executive Producer for all Original Shows.
Chris launched his podcast show with the sole purpose of how to train admissions staff with over 15-18K employees to adopt his "WIN-WIN Effect" methodology.
The first two seasons of his show resulted in producing over two-million downloads.
Chris worked effortlessly to form what the world is calling the next best thing. However, the biggest challenge in front of WINJECT Studios is that what is taking place has never been accomplished, eradicating the number one reason why over 90% of podcasters quit because they haven't figured out to make money from what they love to do.
By embracing this challenge, Chris knew that to get to the outcome he was out for, he needed help. So he began reaching out to industry leaders and worked out exclusive offers from these brands and companies to provide services that you cannot get anywhere for the value of these offers based on his relationships with over 30+ strategic partners of WINJECT Studios.

Brandon Davis is about to go on tour with Tim McGraw. However, it took some soul searching to get to this level of stardom. You will hear his amazing, yet scary, story in the interview.
Not only will you hear his story, but you will hear his kids joining us on the show.
Brandon started singing at an early age, and began writing songs and playing guitar in high school.
He always dreamed of pursuing music, but it always seemed so out of reach that he never just went for it.
However, in 2019 he was hit head-on by a distracted driver and could have very well lost his life.
As a dad of three at the time with one on the way, it really made Brandon evaluate how short life was.
He often thought to himself, “How can I teach my children to chase their own dreams if I don’t chase mine?”
This thought weighed heavy on Brandon for a few months, but the opportunity never seemed to be there.
Now Brandon’s wife is a very determined individual that does not wait for opportunities, she just makes things happen.
After seeing a few artists on Tiktok, she insisted Brandon sing while they were headed home from Dollywood on Father’s Day and she posted it to Tiktok. Before he knew it, she had Tiktok and Instagram accounts full of people asking to hear Brandon’s original music and so his music career began.

James Laughlin went from 9-5 boredom to purpose-centred and passion-focused. He did not have a smooth ride into a life of purpose and freedom.
James started off in a small town in the north of Ireland, with loving parents and a humble upbringing. Teenage-hood presented some challenges and he lost his way in school. Fortunately, he found passion in drumming - becoming a two time world champion by the age of 14. He quickly realized...he is not keen to follow the herd.
James spent his early twenties roaming the world and creating income by setting up an international education & retail company. By his mid-twenties he got married, lived through several massive earthquakes and settled into a mediocre 9-5 existence within the education sector.
However, before he was age 30 he won seven world titles and multiple national titles, published two books, traversed a miscarriage and established a real estate portfolio.
His son Finn came into his world, gifting him the opportunity to be a Dad. James says being a dad has been the most amazing experience ever. He stepped away from the 9-5 and retired from international competing so he could be a present dad.
James discovered that living a life of purpose was NOT at odds with helping other people do the same. As a seven-time world champion performer and sought-after success coach, James was able to create a powerful framework to help CEO’s and Leaders make world-class their new standard.
Also, as a dad who wants to empower future generations to take charge of their destiny and lower the teen suicide rate, he has embarked upon an epic book project. To date, he has interviewed many legendary dads.

A few years ago, he found his dream life was falling apart. He was failing on multiple fronts — as a HUSBAND, a FATHER, and with his HEALTH. He was angry. His wife was filing for divorce and he felt helpless.
He had problems in his business that could not be solved. Do you know anyone like this? Can you relate? There was nowhere to go. No one had the answers for businessmen and fathers.
What did he do?
He stopped everything. He quit work. He studied, took classes, read countless books on everything from Self-development, Health, Exercise Marriage, Parenting and spent thousands on courses to get answers to his questions. It took a lot of time and several years to turn his life around. His marriage saved! His health restored! His anger was gone! His energy was back!
After he had been through it, he wanted to store it away in his mind, not talk about it, never making the same mistakes again.

As you can imagine, Covid-19 has impacted people’s livelihood across the globe. My guests today were no different.
Chris McCasland, a sports and concert industry broker and restaurateur, and Michael Opalski, a senior restaurant industry salesman, both endured a loss of income during the pandemic.
As the story goes, both were at home for long periods of time with their families. While at home, Chris started teaching himself e-commerce and searching for cool product ideas. He came up with City Bonfires, a portable, reusable mini bonfire that you can take on all of your outdoor adventures. He enlisted the help of Mike who came up with the design of the product. A 4-inch by 2-inch round metal tin that is filled with non-toxic soy wax.
Unlike other soy wax-based products, City Bonfires entire surface becomes the flame - creating a mobile heat source - a mini bonfire! Thus, City Bonfires was born!
Each City Bonfire is handmade in Maryland with American-made materials by two Dads whose jobs were impacted by Covid-19. They believe that bonfire nights are the best nights. Gather around their City Bonfire and make memories!
As Covid-19 has taught us, life is best spent making memories with our family and friends. I have personally used their product and must admit, it’s amazing.
Make sure you go online and order yours today.

This is an episode that will send chills down your back. A story that you won’t want to miss.
This terrifying story made national news and was even featured on 20/20 and 48Hours.

On that terrifying night, both of them were bound and Denise was kidnapped. In addition to that, Aaron was sedated by the intruders and was warned not to go the police.
Now, what would you do?
Aaron shares this amazing story in our conversation.
Today, Aaron and Denise have a beautiful daughter and have written a book recanting their story. The book, "Victim F From Crime Victims to Suspects to Survivors" the couple details being victimized twice.

Mark Jennison at one point, lost everything. His money, his company, his wife, and most importantly his son.
His story reached its boiling point when some bad decisions ended by him waking up to find his friend dead. It goes without saying, but he experienced enough to last three lifetimes.
His comeback story offers perspective about how you can leverage life’s challenges into strengths. He was down, but not out. There was one thing that kept him going through all of it. That was his son Phenixx Jaymes.
Phenixx was the “WHY” behind the founding of IAMACOMEBACK, which is a company that turns men’s struggles with alcohol into their greatest strengths by helping them take control of their lives and finally tap into their real power.
Today, Mark is remarried to his beautiful wife Kendra and they have added two daughters to the stable of “WHYS”.
In Mark’s own words, “ I kill it in every area of my life, but if there’s one place I absolutely dominate it’s with my family. They are my Legacy and I’m not willing to ever let them hurt like I did”!
Please check out what Mark is doing with his story and I Am A Comeback on his website.

Larry Dixon considers himself a very fortunate young man. He has a beautiful wife, a great family and he is doing what he loves to do for a living and what he does is drive a Top Fuel dragster, the quickest accelerating vehicle in the world.
Over the course of his career as a driver, which goes back to 1995, Larry has amassed a record that any driver would be proud to have on their resume. Top Fuel dragsters are the premier class in NHRA drag racing, one of the most popular sports in the country, and Larry is in the top four in every statistical category in the class. That includes his 62 wins, 51 top qualifying spots, 46 low elapsed time runs and 33 top speed passes. It was one of those kind of performances that have enabled Larry to win 3 NHRA Full Throttle World Championships so far.
Larry knew at an early age what he wanted to do for a living. Having grown up in Southern California, the hot bed of drag racing in the formative years of the sport, Larry grew up watching his father race. The senior Dixon was one of the pioneers in the sport and Larry got to see, first hand, what it took to build a winning team. After working as a crew member on several teams in the 1980’s, Larry finally got the opportunity to drive in the Top Alcohol Dragster category in 1993, and while it wasn’t a Top Fuel car, it still went over 200 miles per hour and Larry knew right away that, while working on a car was fun, driving was a real thrill.
Larry crewed for drag racing legend Don Prudhomme for six years, and when Don announced that he was going to retire as a driver at the end of the 1994 season, he also announced that Larry would be his new driver. For a kid who grew up idolizing the man they called “The Snake,” the opportunity to drive his car was a dream come true. With Prudhomme showing his keen sense for talent, he watched Larry win his 1st NHRA National event in his 2nd start. The rest, as they say, is history.
For the next decade and a half that Larry drove for Prudhomme, he learned more than just how to drive a car. He learned how to interact with the fans, how to work with sponsors, run the business side of things, and how to be a spokesman for the sport he loves. All of this helped make him one of the most popular drivers in the sport. Whether it was with Miller Brewing, U.S. Tobacco Company or any of the many sponsors that were associated with his teams over the years, Larry handled his duties, both on and off the track, with professionalism.
In addition to all these accomplishments, he is a husband and father. In our conversation, Larry discusses the ups and downs in his career and provides so much value and insight on fatherhood and how his family supported his career.

Tyler Andrade has joined me on Dad Up today.
Tyler lives a blessed life as a multiple business owner in the fitness industry. His businesses include a fitness gym, a cryo-therapy center and apparel company.
However, his life now wasn’t always this blessed. Tyler grew up constantly looking to be loved and accepted. His father was in prison and his mom was left to raise him while working multiple jobs to get by.
Looking for acceptance, Tyler started hanging around the wrong people and began making poor choices. Gangs and drugs were part of those choices. All this because he was living in a fatherless home and just needed to feel loved and accepted by someone.
Tyler ultimately turned his life around once his son was born. He shares more about this in the interview.
This was a great conversation and there are so many gems that Tyler drops that all dads need to hear.

Well known former NFL player and former ESPN analyst, Merril Hoge made his childhood dream a reality when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played until 1993. He was Steelers Iron Man of the Year two years in a row and was named to the All-Madden team in 1989.
He then played for one year with the Chicago Bears until he was forced to retire early due to Post-Concussion Syndrome.
After he retired from the NFL, he joined ESPN as a football analyst and sideline reporter. He worked at ESPN for over 20 years. However, in 2003, he found himself in the toughest of his life when he was diagnosed with cancer. Merril took on chemo with the same tenacity that got him to the NFL.
Now Merril loves spending time with his family, his kids and his grandkids. He is also an author, motivational speaker and soon will be working again with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Merril loved playing in the NFL and working at ESPN, but what he cherishes the most is being a dad. He used his Find A Way philosophy to become a better parent and to challenge his kids to take ownership of their lives.

Dillon Chase is a Christian Hip/Hop Rap Artist. He has a gift for story telling through his lyrics!
As a young man, he grew up in a troubled home and ultimately ended up homeless, sleeping anywhere he could. Dillon was destined for a life of struggling. But, in 2004, by God’s grace, Dillon turned from serving his own selfish ambitions and submitted to the will of God.
Overtime, Dillon began to use his gifts as a way to create a platform to proclaim the gospel. Dillon’s life of servitude was seen and acknowledged by fellow Christian rappers Lecrae and Sho Baraka.
As a dad of four kids, Dillon knows far too well just how important his guidance is to his kids. Dillon shares a lot of wisdom in this interview regarding his role as a dad. One of my favorite guests that I have had the pleasure to interview.

Justin Aldridge is an author, success coach, keynote speaker and more importantly a dad.
Justin classified his life as being define by overachieving and under believing. While in college at the University of Texas Austin, he not only graduated at the top of his class, but he did that while playing football for the Longhorns.
He thought he would be satisfied with the pursuit of money, but quickly realized there was more to life than the straight pursuit of money. Once he became a father, he went through a mental shift and pursued living an Uncommon Life. He made a conscious choice that he was going to stop trying to fit in and instead was going to stand out. He tries to instill those beliefs in his young children today.
In our conversation, he speaks to how we never have a true balance of time between our career and our family. Instead, it is quality of time with our family that really counts.

Joe has an amazing story about his rough childhood and the rough home-life he went through. As a young child, he indicates that he may have met the devil with all the things he was experiencing.

Noel Fenderson is an entrepreneur and businessman who is a Co-Owner of multiple local companies under the brand, ‘My Town’.
His companies are My Town Movers and My Town Roofing. In addition, he serves as the Founder and President of My Town Miracles, a 501(C)3, Non-Profit that was started in 2015. As you can see, Noel is a busy man involved in the For-Profit sector and Non-Profit space at the same time.
What originally started in 2013 as a local/long-distance, full-service, and residential/commercial moving company, My Town Movers has since expanded operations to include its sister company, My Town Roofing, which started in 2014. Then, one year later in 2015, the Non-Profit arm of ‘My Town’ was established, My Town Miracles.
As Noel grew up, he always wanted to help, serve, and protect others which led him into the field of law enforcement for 6 years with the City of Germantown, where he served as a police officer on the S.W.A.T. Team. Currently, he serves as a Reserve Police Officer for the Town of Collierville. But it was during those years with the Germantown Police Department that made such a deep impact on Noel. It was put on his heart to leave the force full-time to focus on leading, providing, and protecting his lovely wife and growing family.
All 3 of My Town's Owners, Noel included, are blessed fathers, and their families are top priority to each of them. They all are invested in their communities in which they live. They are all also active in their churches and children’s schools.
You will hear in our conversation just how committed he is not only to his family but to his community and the Lord.

It is all about balance!
Ever since Brian was a child he has had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. “To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.”
Growing up in Memphis, TN his love for the sport of soccer led him to travel the world, compete at the highest levels & experience so much that has shaped him into the husband, dad & leader he is today.
Today, Brian is a VP in the mortgage industry with loanDepot, one of the top 5 lenders in the country. He is still very passionate about being part of a championship team and equipping his team with the tools to excel, leadership development & leading change in the mortgage industry.
In our interview, Brian shares how important it is to be all in as a dad and how even individual one on one time with each of his kids is so important to him.
