Have you ever felt like you were living the wrong plan? Today I am talking with Heidi Dusek who felt that same way in her early 20s and decided to do something about it. She flipped the script on her life, starting living according to a new plan of her own design. Adventure was a keyword she decided to weave into her life as she rebuilt her life from the ground up. Heidi is here to tell us about living as a family through adventure. As Military Dads we are trained to create an adventure, but often don't have the ideas to transition that skill into fatherhood.  Well, today we take care of that with a guide beyond normal. https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Normal-adventure-wilderness-extraordinary/dp/1950721213?crid=3VEAQHAZIJ3B5&keywords=Beyond+Normal+A+field+guide&qid=1652662671&sprefix=beyond+normal+a+field+guide,aps,149&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=ordinarysh06c-20&linkId=a9a8e33747e96acf289074910137b4d1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl (Book: Beyond Normal on Amazon) https://ordinarysherpa.com/podcast-2/ (Ordinary Sherpa Podcast) Topics Covered: Living someone else plan Perceptions of Success Ping Pong Effect of life Where do you find the money for adventure How to make decisions when you have a lot of options How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidi-dusek-b2213582/ (LinkedIn) http://www.facebook.com/groups/ordinarysherpa/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/ordinarysherpa/ (Instagram) https://ordinarysherpa.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

To decide means one choice has to die. I recently learned that we avoid making decisions because to decide means one choice has to die. That the word decide has the word -ide in it and similar words like genocide and suicide where it means death. Today I am talking with John Spencer who is now retired from the Army after 25 years. John and his wife met in combat in Iraq in 2009 and were a dual military family for almost 8 years. His story and recent book "Connected Soldiers" are filled with depth of stories of struggle, triumph, and getting through it. https://www.amazon.com/Connected-Soldiers-Leadership-Social-Connections/dp/1640125124 (Connected Soldiers Book - Amazon) Topics Covered: Joining looking for something else Growing up through your military service Searching for meaning in life When your retirement feels more like a funeral Lead by example Having cancer hit the family and getting through As a Team, we can handle everything   How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnwspencer2018/ (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/JohnSpencerOnline/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/spencerguard/ (Instagram) https://twitter.com/SpencerGuard (Twitter) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

What are you holding back?   Today I am talking with Chris Hamm and we dive into a deep conversation about family, archery, healing, community, and growth.   What we are holding back can often be the one thing that needs to be released in order for us to come home to our families. Doesn't matter if its war, service, or a really bad thought.   Chris is not a Veteran but archery has been a part of his life since he was a boy and now as a business owner he runs a non-profit helping Veterans find a tool to heal through what life has given them.   He has some amazing stories so far with the work they have been doing and the Veterans who are already becoming change makers passing it on because of what Chris and his events helped them learn.   Topics Covered: The magic of firing an arrow down range Benefits of Archery Why is it important to always be learning a new skill The Archery community Healing through Archery What the misconceptions around Archery Finding people like passions Creating anchor memories with kids Leaving the tools with your kids on how to overcome trauma How to connect with guest https://www.facebook.com/HHASport/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/hha.usa/ (Instagram) Business https://www.hhasports.com/ (Website) Non-profit https://www.hhausa.org/about/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

How we live is how we will be remembered. Today I am talking with Ryan Lonergan who has a story about living, pain, and legacy that we all need to hear.  Ryan grew up without a father and even joined the Army in the hope to find him. After finishing his military service Ryan's life was about to get harder. After a deployment to Iraq, he came home and started an internal war inside with himself. After two failed suicide attempts he is now the CEO of Wisconsin Veteran LLC where he is a friend to other Veterans that he knew he needed in his life and you will be hard-pressed to find a man second to Ryan.  The birth of his daughter and becoming a Dad has inspired him even more and his why is even stronger with her in his life. Topics Covered: What brought you into the Military Facing evil in war The voices in our head Finding value in life When is a Veteran forgotten How to remember those we lost What will be your legacy How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-lonergan-6a03536b/ (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/FARVA11B (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/farva11b/ (Instagram) https://fragoutwivet.libsyn.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

If you are a new Dad how is it going? The standard answer is good and fine for most Dads, but often that is far from the truth. Our schedules are changing, we are tired, work still expects us to perform at the same level and we often are just running on fumes.  Today I am talking to John Wayne Mullins a leadership coach, he spent 17 years with the Coast Guard reserve, and is a new Dad who has taken what he learned in his career of coaching to help new Dads adapt as life changes rapidly that the first year. Topics Covered: Understanding identify while you serve Learning to listen to your intuition for what comes next Apply work leadership at home Mindset as a Dad on Active Duty Shifting priorities after you become a Dad How Units can support Dads better Setting Dad goals Building trust with kids Paying back the time credit card  How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-wayne-mullins/ (LinkedIn) https://www.instagram.com/johnwaynemullins/ (Instagram) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

How are you going to be remembered? With life being so busy these days, we often don't think about these questions unless someone in our family dies, and we, for a short few days, remind ourselves of the fragility of life.  But we often quickly get back to our busy lives and forget about making an intention to ensure we do something worth remembering.  Today I am talking with Ken Wimberly. Ken is the founder and visionary behind Legacy Journal. He is married to his soulmate, Amber, and has three children, Grace, Knox, and Kai, to whom he has been journaling monthly since 2003. He is passionate about personal development and helping others become the best version of themselves. He is active in his community and is proud of the nine years he served as a “Big” in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. Above all, Ken values family, the pursuit of passion, helping others, mentorship, and being impactful. https://youtu.be/R1rOHZicTB8 (The Gift of My Love - Legacy Journal) https://bit.ly/3HUVz3u (Legacy Journal App) Topics Covered: Rewiring your life to put time with kids first Finding a bigger purpose in your story 10,000 hours to be good at something Finding what problem do you want to solve Finding meaning through the one thing Leaving a Legacy of wisdom and stories Curating the mentors, your kids receive advice from How to connect with guest https://www.facebook.com/legacyjournalapp (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/legacyjournalapp (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/legacyjournal.app/ (Instagram) https://www.instagram.com/legacyjournal.app/ (Twitter) https://legacyjournal.app/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

Not everyone comes home during War, what would you do if it was your own brother. Our episode today is an emotional one and the story about relearning to live with a family member by your side. The movie "Saving Private Ryan" showed us the story of what this was like during WWII. This still shows up in war today just as it did then and Scott is going to share what that process was like for him and how he found purpose in the pain and now leads his own Podcast to help other Veterans Drive On. Scott DeLuzio is an Army veteran, having served six years with the Army National Guard, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2010. Scott's brother, Steven, was also deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Unfortunately, Steven was killed in action on August 22, 2010. After returning home, Scott struggled with coping with the stresses of combat, the loss of his younger brother, and adjusting back to civilian life. In the years following Scott's deployment, he noticed other veterans dealing with their struggles in unhealthy ways. Scott started his podcast, Drive On Podcast, to connect with current and prior service members. Through the podcast, Scott hopes to let other veterans know that they are not alone in their struggles. He interviews veterans and civilians to discuss personal triumphs, life experiences, and emotional hardships to give hope and strength to the military community. Scott lives in Surprise, Arizona, with his wife, Vicki DeLuzio, and their three children.   Book: https://amzn.to/3gowGkz (Surviving Son: An Afghanistan War Veteran Reveals His Nightmare Of Becoming A Gold Star Brother) Topics Covered: Losing your blood brother in War Finding your rock bottom moment The unfinished life Stop feeling sorry for yourself How our voice shapes what our kids hear   How to connect with guest https://www.facebook.com/driveonpodcast (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/driveonpodcast/ (Instagram) https://twitter.com/driveonpodcast (Twitter) https://driveonpodcast.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

What do you wish you knew when you first got started? We spend way too much wondering how things could have been different, but we also don't spend nearly enough time learning from people ahead of us to make sure we don't repeat the same mistakes. Our guest today Jeff decided to write a book titled When: Things I Wish I Knew When I Was STARTING OUT, STARTING OVER, and Trying To GET AHEAD.  Jeff has spent the last 38 years traveling a journey of success, failure, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. A journey that started with a desire to be a teacher that was put on hold by a new desire to become a leader of a company. Now after a successful career as a senior executive for companies like Michaels, Fossil and Haggar, Jeff has come back to where his journey started. The desire to teach and mentor. He wants to help individuals and companies reach their full potential. His passions are two-fold.  First, is to help individuals realize how to get the most out of themselves. To help assist them with getting rid of all the anchors of doubt that weigh people down and stop them from finding their true passion. He wants you to find fulfillment in your life and career. His belief is not just to dream the impossible but actually do it. Second, Jeff's corporate experience can still prove invaluable for any company that is looking to make a change or trying to figure out how to get out of troubled waters. https://amzn.to/30Aj94S (Buy When on Amazon) Topics Covered: Having the courage to leave home and start fresh Balancing family time and career Creating an epic connection with your kids You don't have to have everything to be an intentional father How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-wellen-095a851/ (LinkedIn) https://www.jeffwellen.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

Have you ever felt stuck? We have felt stuck, unable to move past something at some point. For Veterans, this can often be feeling stuck in war, on active duty, or unable to transition out successfully.  Today is a powerful episode on how it's not our fault; for most of us, we have never experienced powerful rituals in our life to move from one state to the next.  Frederick Marx is an internationally acclaimed Oscar and Emmy nominated director/writer with 40 years in the film business. He was named a Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award.

How are you making your big life decisions? How often are we just running towards the next outcome in life. I find it often when I look back in my life that I didn't slow down enough before making a big decision in my life. Today I am talking with Jim Crider and he has a great story of having setting himself up right and spending the time to know where he wants to go.  Jim Crider is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and the CEO of Intentional Living FP. Jim tells every client he works with that his job is to help them live the life they want to live. He understands that money is simply a tool, a resource that is there to help his clients live their dream lives. His role is to guide, to live where his clients' lives and money intersect, and to help his clients make intentional decisions. Through thousands of hours of study, tens of thousands of conversations with clients, and countless financial and life goals planned for, Jim and the team at Intentional Living FP know and anticipate the planning opportunities their clients will face, and they serve as a guide to their clients as they navigate the inevitable decisions to be made. When he isn't helping people make financial decisions that will help them spend time doing the things they enjoy with the people they love, Jim is busy being a husband, an outdoor adventurer, and a dad to 3 boys under the age of four! Topics Covered: Getting out of that place you just don't feel life is working Why not me mindset Understanding money goals Working through money stories in our life The lie that more money will make us less stressed Working through the fearless nature of kids everyday Breaking the rules when designing your life Episode Sponsor: http://cnrmstudies.org/?utm_source=Military_Veteran_Dad&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=Sleep+Study (Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (CNRM)) How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/criderjim/ (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/jim.crider.14 (Facebook) https://twitter.com/JimCriderTX (Twitter) https://www.intentionallivingfp.com/team (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

Are you good at taking your own advice? I think most men struggle with this including myself. The military creates a culture where we have a large influence on others' directions as well as reflecting and making sure we lead by example. But the one thing that we can get wrong is that we often live in the bubble of the Military and forget how we influence our family. Our guest today Paul Huszar talks about his blindness to prioritizing his marriage and how it cost him it in the end. What he had wrong with his thinking, and how we would do it over again. He is the CEO of VetCore LLC a franchising agency helping Veterans start disaster restoration businesses. He has a 23-year career in the United States Army and achieved a lot.  Topics Covered: Experience at West Point Deciding when to get out Managing priorities of family while serving Following your own advice Managing the loneliness at the top When to challenge your command structure Finding your purpose Finding what your good at Finding what you can get paid for Freedom through Entrepreneurship How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulhuszar/ (LinkedIn) https://vetcorservices.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

Are you still trying to find your place in the world? You are not alone, Veterans all around the United States are in the same spot as you. We leave the Military behind, but we also feel we leave ourselves behind in the process, and that journey to get direction after is the real front lines of a transition effort. Today, I am talking with Charlie Williams, a part of an organization called Warriors Reunion Foundation. They bring together combat units who served together to rekindle the friendships that were left behind in time. It's a process that helps us reconnect with the good in our lives, the lives we protected, the lives we saved, and remember who has your six. Charlie served in the Marine Corps from 2003-2007, has served in law enforcement, and now is the Program Manager for the foundation. This is a special interview in the history books as we dive into several topics that hit the core struggle that Military Dads are faced with.   Topics Covered: Finding service after serving Why reuniting units is important Finding your place in the world after serving Integrating your work with your parenting Demonstrating grit to your kids How to pass life lessons onto our kids How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-williams-b97795193 (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/WarriorReunion/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/warriorreunionfoundation/ (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/WarriorReunion/ (Twitter) https://www.warriorreunionfoundation.org/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

We don't know what we don't know. What is that one thing that we don't know, but if we did it would change everything.  As Veterans, we can often fall into the gap of not knowing the right path or resources to help through our transition. Today we are talking with Dr. Mike Haynie. Dr. Mike Haynie is Syracuse University's Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation, and also the Barnes Professor of Entrepreneurship. In 2011, Haynie founded Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans & Military Families (IVMF), the nation's first interdisciplinary institute created to inform and advance the policy, economic, and wellness concerns of America's veterans and families. Today IVMF programs serve over 25,000 veterans annually, and the Institute is widely acknowledged as the nation's leading academic voice related to issues impacting veterans and military-connected families. In 2013, Dr. Haynie's efforts on behalf of veterans were the subject of a feature story by the CBS news magazine 60 Minutes, titled “Succeeding as Civilians.”  sTopics Covered: How to start running with an idea Navigating the gap in transition Changing belief systems Navigating the sea of goodwill The crisis of not having more shared experiences How to connect with guest https://www.facebook.com/IVMFSyracuseU (LinkedIn) https://www.facebook.com/IVMFSyracuseU (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/IVMFSyracuseU (Instagram) https://www.facebook.com/IVMFSyracuseU (Twitter) https://ivmf.syracuse.edu/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!
