The Dad Forge

Culture is a set of shared behaviors that are perceived by other and that authenticate the value proposition of a relationship Culture takes time and intention to create.  Culture sets the tone for what others might say about you.   In business. - once someone experiences your culture they should say “no wonder they are the #1 chiropractic office in town” In friends - “no wonder everyone likes to be around them” In family - “no wonder their kids are so well behaved” In organization - “no wonder why they always seem so on top of it” In team - “no wonder they can get so much done” Tokoriki - which means stay here - you are family They remember your name, what you like to eat, what you like to drink, your kids names.  They remember because they care, and their culture is strong because they all buy in.   How can you improve your culture? --------------------------- Are you a dad who wants the best for his family?

One of the greatest opportunities is to become a leader at home.  I have always said that I never wanted to become famous, other than in my home.  So, today we are talking about leading at home.  Maybe you are a dad and maybe you will be one later in life, and to our mom's who listen in as well, take note of the insights and see how you can apply them.  I want to say that I do not think I have it all figured out.  I have had dozens and dozens of men pour into me, read countless books and attended conferences.  What I am going to share is a highlight reel of what I think has worked and what may work for you.  First we must set the outcome/goals. Do you want to have a well behaved kid who leaves and never wants to see you again.  One that resents your very existence?  I hear that all the time from men and women.  They hated their childhood and had very little relationship with their father later in life.  I want and have wanted the opposite.  I want kids to want to be home when they don't have to, and who want to be with each other throughout life.  This requires that the relationship takes front seat and full window view.  One of the principles of the dad forge is that “rules without relationship = rebellion”.  So, lets work on the relationship as we navigate this idea of leading in our home. -------------------------------- Are you a dad who wants the best for his family?

In a world full of conflicts, we must embrace the suck of conflicts and the effects of them.  Eventually let the conflict work to clarify what we are really up to.   In this season of Covid, conflicts exist around every corner.  Conflict of public health, conflicts of politics of health and choice, conflicts of religion and freedom of choice.  They exist everywhere and it seems that everyone has time to share their beliefs and tell you/us how stupid ours are.   It is now that we can take time to clarify what is most important to us.  One thing I hear consistently is time.  People are re-evaluating how and whom they spend time with.  Work schedules, home schedules, workout schedules, all have found new meaning.   ------------------------------------ So, let's take a look at where we spend our time, and  If we can take our lives and break them in a few categories so we can wrap our heads around this idea. Are you a dad who wants the best for his family? Are you looking for the best ways to raise your daughter and sons? Need a little parenting advice? Want to have a plan when your kids start to date?

The Seed inside of you The seed that is planted in the darkness of winter and sprouts and gives it full potential in the spring.  How many of you are planting seeds of success in your life now, knowing the result will show up later in the month, or even year.  How many of us, have a “seed” inside of us, simply waiting to put in the soil to grow..  What is the soil of your life?  Your environment, your habits, your mindset. Are you willing to do a few things to get that seed in the right soil so it can grow and make a difference in this world?

Last time we did a deep dive on Solving the BEST problems, and today we dive into the 3 kinds of titles we can have when dealing with problems.  These are CPS, CPA, and CPC. These stand for  Chief Problem solver Chief Problem announcer Chief Problem causer As we mentioned last week, Problems are going to happen.  And you are going to fall into one of these categories. If you are the leader, then CPS is your best title.  If you own a company, then you want to set the culture that CPS is a part of your culture.. If work for a company and you want to climb to the top, add CPS to your title and you will be amazed at how you are noticed. 

We all have problems.  In fact, most of us get up and start thinking of the problems because our minds are wired to start solving the problems. If our minds are so full of problems that we cant go to sleep, then we call this “stress”.  If my problems seem bigger than I can solve, we get anxious. If our problems stay bigger than us or they seem to crush my drive, life, and future, this called depression. So, we all have a need to learn how to solve problems.   In this part one discussion, I want to discuss the importance of reframing problems.

Vision 2020 Today we discuss the aspects of setting a vision for 2020 and taking a look back at what is working and what is not.  Join us as we glance back so we can see clear in to 2020.   Here are the topics we discuss: Family Health/physical Financial Mental Relationship Friendships Spiritual

Gratitude and Grace The holidays and especially Thanksgiving is a time, we all seem to focus a little more on Gratitude.  It is easy.. We speak at the table, share it on our social platforms, heck we might even try to post something we are grateful for over 30 days.  Do we live gratitude?  Lets do a bit more of a deep dive on this word and understand it.

Bad Decisions Which side of a Bad Decision do you want to live on? Meaning.. Don't we always get better after making an error, and errors are many times results of bad decisions.   Yet, some bad decisions can cost us everything.  Isn't that how we decide whether we will continue on, or stop.  We somehow ask ourselves. Can I live with the result of this decision.   If it is a donut and we are breaking from a keto plan.  We may justify we have to do a few more reps or jog around the neighborhood later.  Or maybe we are “celebrating”, for all the good decisions we have made all week and now we can let loose.   The outcome is quite different than say, you are noticing the secretary and how she looks at you.  In the back of your mind you are playing out a fantasy and now she seems to be joining you. What will you decide?  It's no longer a few calories. This could cost you everything.. Your job, your career, your character, your marriage, your family.   Good front side decisions understand back side consequences better than anything.  Bad front side decisions lead us down slippery slopes and next thing we know we are sliding faster than we can imagine.   I love to think about Paul when he was writing Philippians.  And particularly Phil 4:8-13.. Context is everything.   Here he is in prison.  Cold, wet, knowing this is the end.  Yet, he is still writing to us about what to think about. Yet he keeps his decision to serve the top of his agenda.  That my friends is a good decision in a situation that drives bad ones.     Enjoy.. Keep serving and loving your family

Take stock! Where exactly is your level of fitness? What are you doing to change it.  When did you start letting it all go and why the heck didn't you step in and say enough is enough.    As you learned last week self confidence is built in keeping your promises to yourself.   Today we are going to talk about WHY your fitness matters

Hey men, it is easy to say and harder to do.  Lets be men that do what we say and say what we are willing to do.  Today we cover fitness.  Something we all can control and work on daily.   I cover a very simple formula for you to find your next level of fitness.  Follow it and find traction that you have never done before.  

Today we cover a simple but powerful concept.  How you do you build self confidence.  I cover 4 areas we can master having a better life by simply transforming one idea.  Keeping a promise to yourself.   Confidence can be passed down from generation to generation.  But so can the lack of it.  And eventually we all hit a season where we have to amp it up on our own.  Pull those boot straps ourselves and get to the other side of a challenge.  Dig in with me on how we all can have better confidence.  

Meet Dr. Ron Robinson.  We talk about the power of being intentional with your time.  We stroll down some favorite milestones in our lives.  Cross some faith and control boundaries that all dads should consider.  You will see quickly that Ron is a master at being a dad.  He claims he is a master griller and guacamole creator as well.  Listen in and enjoy a little perspective from a kick butt dad who is doing it right. 

Hey Dad! Why you do anything is how you do anything.  Your "why's" drive your how's  This is a fascinating concept when you put it to test.     My challenge as you listen to this weeks podcast is to find your why in seven areas of life.   Physical Mental Emotional Spiritual Career Financial Family   Why do you strive to raise your standards in these areas?  Pick your strongest one, the one that you know if you move it, the others will fall in to place.  

Men, we are in an amazing time of so much information that it is impossible to not know how or what you can do to raise your standards.  The only question will be, do you have the discipline to raise your standards?     Todays podcast gives you an ability to forecast your efforts and see what is coming for you if you do not change anything.   Dig in.. Tell a friend, share and subscribe.  Don't forget to rate this and give a 5 star rating.

Men we love to compare, it breeds competition.  That can be healthy, but it can lead to destruction.   The rawness in the beginning is always grit.  But once we find success, the old adage fat and happy sets in and we find ourselves unhappy and depressed because we are not lining up to some kind of comparative thing/person in our life.   Men, Model dont compare
