Dad Chat with Greg & Matt

"The place to start making a difference is on the ground level." -Alex MinorThis episode was recorded in our Dad Chat community on June 4th.

The issues of white privilege and helping people to understand the difference between "black lives matter" and "all lives matter" have taken prominence in our national dialogue. This week, we've changed the format of Dad Chat, moving away from random articles, and attempting to focus on a single topic that is of importance to our dad community. This is why we invited Alex Minor, LinkedIn video expert, a former musical collaborator of Greg's (a.k.a. "G-ro"), video editor and DP, father, to talk with us about what it means to be black in America, and ways we can speak to our kids about race. This was an eye-opening conversation for both of us because it showcased to us that rather than just make assumptions on the best way to talk about race and privilege in America, the best bet is to actually engage in a dialogue. In this critical conversation, we talk about the importance of empathy, of acknowledging differences in the experiences we have, the need for white people to call out those who are intolerant, and take umbrage at our calls for equality. "It doesn't matter if I say. It does matter what YOU say." -Alex Minor.

It's week 4, or 5, or 43 of our quarantine and to help keep our sanity we've brought in fellow dad, author, entrepreneur and awesome human being Ryan Berman, father to Herman Berman (dog), aged 10, Micah (human boy), aged 7, and Mackenzie (human girl), aged 4. He is the founder of Courageous, a creative change consultancy that has worked with some of the world's largest brands and focuses on helping them become more courageous. His best-selling book 'Return on Courage: a playbook for courageous change' addresses this head-on. Berman also has his own "Courage Brand" called Sock Problems: an altruistic sock company that socks different problems in the world. In case you don't read to the end, a few things we wanted to share:* Ryan was generous enough to share his Personal Values Assessment which you can access here: https://corporaterenegade.d.pr/MRZ849* You can learn more about Ryan's company by visiting https://www.couragebrands.com/What are we discussing? * Being courageous as dads during a scary time. Ryan shared his philosophy on courage and defined it as taking action on your dreams. Living a courageous life allows us to have more space and time to be present with our kids. * Attention + Belief = Dad. Ryan's formula about how to carve out meaningful time for our children…giving them our attention and having belief in our kids, all while figuring out what our own values truly are. * Some Good News. We spend some time talking about episode 2 of Some Good News, as brought to you by Jim Halbert, aka Jon Krasinski. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe_y6KKvS3PdIfb9q9pGug* Did Quibi launch at the worst possible time? We discuss the new streaming service and why adding more choice may mean fewer eyeballs watching the new platform. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/04/quibi-app-downloads-day-one* Where the #DadSquads at? Moms are famous for their groups of fellow moms. Dads are often left by the wayside. We discuss why dads need friends now more than ever. https://www.parents.com/parenting/dads/as-dads-we-need-parent-friends-just-as-much-as-moms/* Finally, we discuss an article from Ryan, where he shares why we need creativity now more than ever. https://blog.leadercast.com/blog/creativity-in-a-time-we-need-it-mostSome final thoughts that came up during this episode: How do you turn this time into something that is proactive? How do you handle the moral fatigue we are all facing? What do you do when you can't control 85% of your life right now? What do you do with the 15% you can control? Find something worth fighting for. This is the great reset of our lives. Do the thing you want to do.

Who the hell are these guys and why should you listen to them? In this special shorter episode of Dad Chat, we’ll get to know Matt Goldfarb — single dad, entrepreneur, writer, and master of a few too many pop culture references. Matt talks candidly about the life of a single dad, the evolution of his parenting and his relationship with his ex (believe it or not they are actually great friends), how he spends his time when he’s in dad mode vs. bachelor mode — working, dating, maintaining sanity…plus a mini impromptu manifesto on what Dad Chat is truly all about. It’s a short one but chock full of good stuff.
