Last week on the Good Dad Project, we had Erik Weihenmayer, the first and only blind man to summit Mount Everest. On this week’s Thursday Throwdown, I’d like to expand on his concept of a rope team and why every man needs one.
As much as we want to encourage our kids to do their best, we might be unintentionally causing them undue stress. That is why it’s crucial – whether in sports, school, or life – that our kids see the same us when they look to us for support.
Electronic devices are a part of our lives now. Can you imagine giving them up? Would your kids survive without their phones, tablets, and video games? Listen to what happened to my family when we gave up our screen time for 40 days!
As men, we hate to admit when we don’t know all the answers. We don’t want to seem weak and vulnerable, but fathers need to ask for help sometimes, and here is why.
In our last episode, we talked with Sam Weinman about how to win at losing, how to succeed when we fail, and how to learn from defeat. I want to recap on this because the fear of losing is one of the most popular topics discussed in our Dad’s Edge group. A lot of guys are afraid of doing something new. We’re afraid of failing. We hold back because we think we’re not good enough. So how do we stop that way of thinking?
In this week’s Thursday Throwdown, I follow up on episode 100 with Ryan Holiday and his profound insights on how to approach life as a student. As men and fathers, we want to believe we have everything figured out, but in reality that’s impossible. That’s why it’s important to drop our egos and admit to ourselves, “I don’t know everything, but I’m going to learn as much as I can.”
The mission of the Dad Edge is to empower men to live and lead legendary lives. The Dad Edge empowers men to create legendary marriages, create epic connections with our kids, master our personal finances, optimize our health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), and become a leader within their family.
