Podcasts about best dad

One of the best things that ever happened to me was being given up by my real dad.    The next best thing was being abused by my step-dad.    I know, it sounds dark, but here's what happened as a result:    When my kids arrived on this planet, it pushed me to not quit on myself.    When another child was introduced into my life (Amy's son Asher), I took on the role of including him and even successfully adopting him.  (I know what it's like when people quit on me; I wasn't going to do that to him)    As a result of having these children in my life, I had a chance to be the father I didn't have.    I'm not completely shitting on my 2 dads............I did learn some good things from each one of them, but the biggest gift they gave me was the clarity needed to become the Dad I needed.     I became that Dad.    If you told me tomorrow was my last day on this planet, and asked me one of my greatest accomplishments, it would be being a father to my children and excelling in this area.    My kids are good kids.  They have manners and use them.  They know how to operate heavy equipment and are responsible with it. They're good to other kids and teach them things I've taught them.    Their main objective is to outlive me and out perform me during their lifetimes.   They're already ahead of the game.    Here's my message to Dads who may feel they're coming up short in their kids' lives........   It's not too late.    Be the Dad you needed.    Be present.    Be helpful.    Be a good teacher.     That's all you have to do.    It's really that simple.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Joe and Brenna return to discuss director Amber Sealey (the voice of The Princess Diaries audiobook?!) and writer Daniel Stiepleman's adaptation of Out Of My Mind (2024).Starring real life disabled actor Phoebe-Rae Taylor, this Peabody-winning film will definitely get the waterworks going, especially Luke Kirby (who gives Stanley Tucci a run for his money for Best Dad in YA).Plus: the visualization of Melody's frustration; the power of silence; a kooky Judith Light; and a small but intriguing change to the climax.Wanna connect with the show?

Beat Migs! We ask the rockaholics.

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Gatto — comedian, founding member of Impractical Jokers, author, and one of the most genuinely funny and surprisingly deep guys I've ever had on this show. Yes, we laugh. A lot. But what surprised me most about this conversation is how quickly it got real. Joe lost his dad to pancreatic cancer at 19 years old — and watching his father face death with grace, humor, and a smile on his face left an imprint on Joe that shaped everything: the man he became, the dad he is today, and even the comedy career that followed. We get into marriage and how humor can be the glue that holds a couple together through a tumultuous season — but also how humor can become a way to avoid the conversations that actually need to happen. Joe is honest that the last couple of years have been tough, and he talks about learning to know when it's time to stop laughing and start talking. And Joe's kids' book — Where Is Barry? — gets the full story: how his son Remo losing his stuffed animal one night turned into a beautifully illustrated book about calming down, thinking logically, and handling life's little chaos moments.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Introducing Joe Gatto — Impractical Jokers, touring comedian, author, and a guy who's way more real than you'd expect [4:23] Growing up in Staten Island: big Italian family, big backyard, and a nerdy kid who quizzed his dad with encyclopedia multiple choice tests [5:40] How comedy shaped Joe's childhood — Home Improvement, Mel Brooks, Jim Carrey, and movie nights with dad [8:10] The relationship with his dad — and losing him to pancreatic cancer at just 19 years old [10:00] His dad's response to the diagnosis: "Get a fake ID, we're going to Vegas" [11:02] What it was like to be in the ambulance when his father passed — and the smile on his face at the very end [13:16] Larry's reflection: "You had more of a dad in 19 years than a lot of men have in a lifetime" [14:20] How Joe's dad shaped the comedian, the father, and the man he is today [15:02] Joe's new tour Let's Get Into It — tracing his journey from a geeky kid with no friends to who he is now [16:23] The iconic memory: dad comes home in a full suit, kids are in the pool — and he just jumps in [17:21] How Joe recreated that exact moment for his own kids without even planning it [18:36] What Joe's kids would say about him if you asked them without him in the room [19:37] His 9-year-old daughter who wants to be a DJ — and why Joe said yes without hesitation [20:06] His 7-year-old son who asks questions like "why is the middle finger bad?" — and how Joe handled it [24:08] The origin story of Impractical Jokers — day jobs, a bartender, a firefighter, and four friends doing comedy for fun [33:24] The important line: humor can hold you together, but there's a time to stop laughing and start talking [35:09] Where Is Barry? — the children's book inspired by his son Remo losing his stuffed animal [38:48] Joe's son's first reaction to the finished book: "Where's Milana? My sister should be in it too" [39:25] Why Joe believes teaching kids to cope with adversity is the number one job of a parent [41:22] Leading by example: how kids see everything, reflect everything, and learn how to handle life by watching you [42:06] Separating emotion from response — and catching things when they're little, not when they're boulders [42:43] Why Joe always apologizes to his kids — and why he never says "because I said so" [47:05] Joe's advice: surround yourself with people who make you better, and be the person who brings others up [48:19] On balance: it's impossible — just be where you are, and say yes to the five minutes that matter most   Five Key Takeaways The moments your kids will remember forever aren't the big planned ones — they're the split-second decisions to jump in the pool in a full suit. Be present for the small moments. Humor is a powerful connector in marriage and family — but it has to know its place. There's a time to laugh through things together and a time to put the jokes down and have the real conversation. Teaching your kids to cope with adversity is the single most important job you have as a parent. Not grades. Not manners. Coping — because you won't always be there, but their ability to handle life will be. Never say "because I said so." If you can't explain why you're making a decision, question whether you're making the right one. Kids deserve a reason, and giving one builds trust. Balance is a myth. You can't do everything equally all the time. But you can be fully where you are — and say yes to the five minutes your kid is asking for, because those five minutes will be the best part of their day.   Links & Resources Roommates to Soulmates Cohort & Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Where Is Barry? by Joe Gatto — available on Amazon Follow Joe Gatto on Instagram: @joe_gatto Joe Gatto's website: https://www.joegattoofficial.com/ Episode Link & Resources (Episode 491): https://thedadedge.com/491   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: the moments that shape your kids forever are usually the ones you almost didn't take. Joe Gatto watched his dad jump into a pool in a full suit on a summer evening — a split-second decision that Joe still talks about decades later. And without even thinking about it, Joe recreated that same moment for his own kids when they called him away from work. Three minutes. Full clothes. Right in. That is the legacy. That is what your kids will tell their kids about. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to show up, say yes when it counts, and teach them how to handle life when you're not around to help. If this episode made you laugh and think — which it will — share it with a dad who needs both today. Go out and live legendary.

Join Sandra for an incredible conversation with Joshua Silverberg, the Executive Producer of the new hit series "Miracle" on Angel Studios (hosted by Bear Grylls). Joshua isn't just documenting stories of medical impossibilities; he lived one. In 2021, Joshua was in the ICU with failing organs and oxygen levels so low that doctors told him, "People like you don't survive." In this episode, Joshua shares the riveting story of how a friend felt a divine pull to drive three hours and talk his way into a high-security lockdown to pray for him. Joshua also describes his Near-Death Experience where he surrendered to death, saying, "I'm coming in for the hug," only to be met by the "Mind of God"—a place where worry does not exist.

The app offers discussion groups, event calendars, and specialized spaces for various dental courses, making it a one-stop-shop for ongoing learning and support. We'd love for you to download the app, join our community, and don't forget to leave a review for the podcast!Links of the app:Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=three.d.dentistspro&hl=en_US&pli=1iOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/3d-dentists-pro/id6495485556 Timestamps:@01:00 The Story Behind the 3D Dentist Pro Community@04:37 What's Inside the App?@07:36 Communication and Support@08:59 Resources Available@11:41 How to Download the App

In this episode, Meredith and I chat about how buying a car can teach us a lot about running a dental practice. Meredith shares her recent experience of shopping for an electric car and how it parallels what patients go through when choosing a dentist. We talk about the importance of understanding what patients really need, the power of online reviews, and why making the dental visit quick and easy is so crucial. This episode highlights how simple dentistry can be if we learn from other industries' positive customer experiences. It's a great listen for anyone looking to improve their dental practice by making it more patient-friendly@01:16 Meredith's Recent Car Purchase@02:37 Lexus Dealership Experience@07:37 Audi Dealership Experience@11:56 Tesla Buying Experience@22:31 Key Take away

In this episode Meredith and I, focus on the importance of adjusting goals and schedules to balance professional and personal life. Talking how aligning work around your kids' school schedules can simplify the dental business and debunk the misconception that dentistry has to be complicated. Reflecting on nostalgic baseball hitting streaks, I draw a parallel to maintaining consistency in our efforts. We emphasize the need to reassess goals mid-year rather than waiting for the new year, adjusting revenue expectations based on current performance, and reverse engineering strategies to identify what's working.@01:13 Mid-Year Check-In@04:44 Time Blocking Kids' Schedules@05:17 Tarun's School Schedule and University Update@12:22 Team Adjusting to Dentist's Schedule@15:07 Scheduling Quarterly Team Bonding

Whether it's a revenue, collections, cost of materials, or spending issue, I'll break down how to identify and address each area without overcomplicating your practice. I'll share personal anecdotes about balancing work and family, insights from mastermind sessions, and actionable tips on managing increased costs.@03:21 Types of Financial Pinches@08:44 Handling Financial Strain@10:43 Navigating Uncertainty@12:50 Improving Your Practice@14:30 Managing Practice Finances

In honor of father's day, I wanted to share some of the best advice I've received from my dad over the years, and how we can all work to apply it in life and in business. For the sake of background, dad is a chemical engineer — he spent decades of his career at one company — but still had lots of entrepreneurial experiences and insights along the way. (He did do a bit of consulting in retirement!) The funny thing is almost all of these were very literal conversations, which I've extrapolated out (30 years later!) to have a broader meaning. And as I think about the kind of advice I want to be passing along to my own kids, I think these kinds of concrete illustrations may be a really effective way to do it.

In this episode, Meredith and I share the importance of setting clear revenue goals and reverse engineering your dental practice to meet those targets. We emphasize that understanding your revenue goal is the first step before considering the type of dentistry you want to focus on.

We need to be effective first, and then efficient second.In this solo episode, I discuss how we can be effective in our practice. We often set our goals to achieve a certain amount or perform specific procedures. But how can we reach these goals quickly and yield better results? In dental practice, effectiveness and efficiency are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences. In reality, we can strive for efficiency as much as we want, but we will eventually reach a limit. On the other hand, being effective means maximizing what we have at our disposal for the greater good.@02:01What is Efficiency@04:11 Maximum Point@06:01 What is Effectiveness@09:46 Effectiveness over Efficiency@11:31 Three Concept of Effectiveness

It's time to reset your long-time patients. In this episode, Meredith and I discuss the use of code D0150, which is typically applied to new patients but can also benefit those who have been with the practice for an extended period. Updating records comes at a cost of $20 per patient, and conducting this every 3-5 years can significantly boost earnings. Moreover, it offers patients the opportunity to review their progress and identify changes over time. Implementing this strategy may pose challenges, but it ultimately simplifies the role of the treatment coordinator. Building trust over years of patient interaction enables practitioners to confidently recommend necessary treatments, underscoring the importance of trust and positive experiences in dental practice.@01:05 CDT Code - D0150 @05:48 What is included in the exam@08:56 Admin Reset@11:23 Hurdles and Walkthrough @20:03 Outcome of Trust

Believe in the power of the front office.In this episode, Meredith and I talk about the struggles of the dental front office and how to relieve that pressure. Recognizing their potential can help them be productive and provide the best in their work. Empower and know their position and how they help present the best case to the patients for them to say yes. Having a salesperson helps the practice smoothly sign in patients from the front office to the transaction and to the procedures. Integrity in your practice will help you achieve success. We at 3D Dentist believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We want the best for our patients!@01:00 Front Office@04:27 Problems in the Front Office@08:55 Power of Confidence@14:32 Process in the Front Office@20:37 Insurance
