Today I've got on Jordo Mederich.  Jordo is a husband, father, and business owner. Jordo is the founder of DropFunnels, which is an all-in-one marketing solution to get you online with a website in minutes. I wanted to have a discussion with Jordo because his approach to balancing entrepreneurship and fatherhood is one that I agree with, and I was curious as to how he can find that balance.  All of us, whether you are a business owner or not, are looking for some type of freedom and flexibility so that we can be with our families as much as possible. And yet, we also have this other side of us that wants to achieve and excel in the workplace - and finding the balance between these two is usually messy business.  Today Jordo and I talk about his journey to becoming an entrepreneur as a father, some of the lessons he has learned along the way, and how we can strike that balance between being a high performer and a great father.

After trying everything the doctor's could throw his way, Nick found hope and recovery through more natural and holistic methods - which we will discuss today.  Along this path to self-recovery, Nick learned that the actions, routines, and habits he was leaning into to help with his TBI's, helped him also become a better father.  Today Nick helps men and women from all walks of life to get into better shape, improve their mental state, and build discipline.

Discipline, routines, habits, and self development are key to growth. And growth enables you to show up as a better person than you were before.  But sometimes we can take it to the extreme - sacrificing family time to “pour into ourselves”.  At the end of the day - our job as Dads is to sacrifice what is important to us for what is important to the family. You need to be “filling up your cup” so that you can show up for your family, but never at the expense of your family.  Today we talk through one strategy called “dad hours” to help put a frame around personal development as a Dad.  If you're ready to start becoming the husband, father, and man you are called to be here's 3 ways you can get started.   1 - Join our Free Epic Dad Crew Community  Inside the Crew you will get access to an active community of Fathers looking to become the best versions of themselves.

After multiple rounds of surgery, his arm was reattached - but you can only imagine the trauma that event has caused him. This type of trauma can cause a lot of mental trash - and that is what Brian has focused his career on. Brian has helped Countless executives, business owners, and top performers across all industries in the world suffer from burnout, lack of motivation, and even business troubles because their emotional triggers have taken over their personal and professional lives.

I've been following Matt's journey for a few years now, and really appreciate his approach to life.  Matt is not a Dad, and he'll be the first to tell you that he doesn't want to be one, but I think that we can gain a ton of valuable insight from some of Matt's philosophies around life. Matt lost his Dad suddenly to cancer, and it has played a major role in how he has shaped his life. From that experience, Matt has vowed to live his life on his terms, understanding how precious it actually is and how none of us are getting out alive. I just absolutely love the clarity around life that Matt has and his attitude is infectious and inspires others to go out and live their dreams. And us as Fathers, should be setting that example for our kids.  During our chat, Matt and I discuss:  -The meaning of his brand Not Dead Yet -Why fathers are incredibly important  -How to live life as if your days are numbered, because they are  Check out Matt on Instagram HERE.

Cody is a former preacher, former firefighter, father of 6 and leader of the men's movement and coaching group the Iron Society. In this episode Cody and I do a deep dive into the word Identity and why it if so important and foundational. You see - a ton of Dad gurus out there - whether it be in fitness, entrepreneurship, or whatever the case - they harp on discipline.  They say you have to be like Jocko - get up at 3:30 every morning, get a lift, be super strict with your diet, time box your day, and all the other life hacks that help drive success.  And I agree. But what Cody and I talk about today is that you can go down this road and be as disciplined as you want - but if you don't know WHO you are - you may end up at a destination that is not supporting you or your family.  The first thing we need to do as Dads is define who we are. Cody calls this the identity code - and I am fascinated with it. It's something that I've thought about at surface level, but never understood the importance of it until today's chat.  Once you know who you are, what your values are at the deepest level - then you can chart a path to your destination and make sure that your actions align with your identity.  Guys - you are going to get so much from this conversation - I know I did.  Check out Cody on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/codychapman/?hl=en JOIN THE EPIC DAD CHALLENGE: Level up and become the husband, father, and man you are called to be. https://becomeanepicdad.com/optin1673039255131

It's easy to fall into anxiety, depression, and feeling like you are not enough as a Dad. We have so many competing priorities on our plate, it's impossible to get everything done. However - I truly believe that the depression we feel is just a misalignment between the person we know we can be, and the person we are showing up as.

Braydon was a professional.   You've probably seen Braydon on tiktok or instagram - he's the guy with the long curly hair and baggy t-shirts that's giving common sense fitness advice. You may not tell by looking - but when Braydon takes his shirt off - it's obvious that he lifts.  He's been a competitive powerlifter, competitive strongman and once lost over 65 pounds of fat himself in 6 months - and now teaches others how to do the same without doing endless bouts of cardio, but instead focusing on core strength training, lifting weights, and getting stronger.  I absolutely love Braydon's approach to fitness, as he brings a much needed voice of reason to the fitness industry.  During this discussion we dive into Braydon's 5 Pillars to fitness, and if you are anything like me - you are probably getting this wrong.  If you are a Dad who is looking to build muscle, lose fat and get into incredible shape - this episode is for you.  Alright guys - buckle up and let's hop into this episode with Braydon Barrett.  You can find Braydon on Instagram HERE: https://www.instagram.com/looklikeyoulift/?hl=en ----------------- EPIC DAD 7 DAY CHALLENGE:  https://becomeanepicdad.com/optin1673039255131

Since having my son last year, I've been doing a ton of thinking, reading, and praying about what type of man I want him to become when he grows up.  But before I can teach him anything, I needed to understand what type of man I am? What does it even mean to be a man? Without a clear definition and destination for what a man does, how can I raise my son to become one? What a man does can be summarized by 3 things. A man: 1) Accepts Responsibility 2) Rejects Passivity 3) Leads Courageously This episode ends Season 1 of the Epic Dad Legacy Podcast. We'll be back in July 2023 with season 2.

Today I've got Mike Dillard on the show.  Mike has been one of my entrepreneurial heroes for as long as I've been on this journey of creating content, building business, and understanding marketing.  He built his first 7-figure business by the age of 27, and has gone on to build three, multiple 8-figure companies with more than $60 million in combined revenue.  His podcast, the Self Made Man - later titled the  Mike Dillard Podcast has had over 7 million downloads, and guests include Tony Robbins, Daymond John, Mike Rowe, Tony Hawk, and Gene Simmons. Mike's expertise around sales, copywriting, and scaling business has had a profound impact on my evolution as an entrepreneur. But that's not why I wanted to have Mike on the show.  No, I wanted to sit down and talk with Mike because he is best known for his ability to predict future global trends. He purchased his first Bitcoin in 2013, built the world's first automated hydroponic robot with Dr. Peter Diamandis in 2016, and is a private investor in innovative startups like ONNIT, Click & Grow, Opus Sound Beds, and Space X. His next prediction? That the global global food, health, energy, and financial systems will face unprecedented challenges, leading to global conflict around the world.  During this conversation we dive deep into what is going on in our culture, in our country, and around the world, - how we should think about this as fathers and leaders, and more specifically - what we can do about it as fathers to make sure that we are protecting and providing for our family.  If you don't know what you would do if the power grid gets shut off, or what you would do if the grocery store shuts down - this episode is for you. I hope that Mike's teachings can open your eyes to the very real possibility of the world changing forever, very rapidly - and hope that you can have some very tactical and practical take aways that will help you be better prepared to lead your family through chaotic times.  JOIN THE EPIC DAD CREW COMMUNITY Ready to become the husband, father, and man you are called to be?

We get super busy and stressed as dads... It's hard to be intentional about the way that we are showing up. We are going to fail, and fail a lot.   But when we fail, that's another opportunity for us to be intentional in the way that we respond to that failure JOIN THE EPIC DAD CREW COMMUNITY Ready to become the husband, father, and man you are called to be?

Today I've got on Ryan Michler from Order of Man. Ryan is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the world's most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders. It has now become his life's mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities.  In this episode Ryan and I dive right into what it means to be a good man and a good father, and some practical things you can do today to become bolder in your beliefs and more courageous in your speech and action.  Ryan has recently gone through some pretty severe changes in his life - including struggling with alcohol and recently going through a divorce. Ryan's not perfect - and he doesn't pretend to be - but he is absolutely a voice of inspiration for thousands of men and fathers out there, and humbly accepts the responsibility of continuously improving and becoming a better man.

How do we broach the topic of boys with our young girls? Girls are going to like boys. It is completely natural, and we should encourage our girls to like the right kind of boys. But instead, more often than not, we tease and ridicule our young heroes for something that should be encouraged. We say things like "you can't date until you're 30" or "I'm going to meet him at the door with a shotgun". These things may seem funny and harmless - but what impact is that having on our daughter's view on boys? Today we dive in and tackle this head on. ------- JOIN THE EPIC DAD 7 DAY CHALLENGE ------ If you're ready to become the Dad you KNOW you are meant to be, join the FREE Epic Dad 7-Day Challenge.  This 7 Day Online Challenge will get you outside of your comfort zone and build the foundational habits that lead to success.

Today we have on Ryan King.  Ryan is a friend of mine that I met through the Apogee Strong Dads program - Ryan is a Dad, a business owner, and a thought leader when it comes to the traditional roles of fatherhood and masculinity.  Ryan has garnered a lot of attention over the past year or so on social media through his handle The Wisdom of Kings - where he posts long form, thought provoking content about how we can lead our families and fully step into our role as fathers and husbands.  This conversation was a ton of fun, with some huge takeaways - especially about how important it is to get our kids involved in sports at an early age.  Ryan credits his experiences with competitive sports as to what has driven him to be successful in the business world, founding Guardian Payments - which has led to financial freedom for him and his family by the time he was 35.  Guys - it's hard to provide a preview for this conversation because we talked about so much and I had so many key takeaways.  You are not going to want to miss this conversation - so let's hop in with The Wisdom of Kings himself - Ryan King.
