The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself? Do I give my children room to make decisions and mistakes, or do I try to control outcomes too tightly? How often am I sitting down with my kids and really listening to their perspective instead of just telling them what to do? Am I open about my struggles as a parent and willing to admit when I don't have all the answers? Navigating the relationship between father and son is never straightforward, especially as your child grows into a young adult. On this episode of The Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner welcomes his son Ethan for a candid discussion about the so-called "friendship gap"—that elusive space between being too much of a friend and not enough of a parent. Larry and Ethan get real about their own family dynamics, sharing personal stories of where things clicked—and where they missed the mark. From lecture-based parenting in elementary school to establishing new routines as Ethan enters adulthood, they explore the effects of too much leniency or authority, and the importance of clear communication, shared expectations, and accountability. Whether you're raising toddlers or about to launch your kids into the world, this episode is packed with relatable, actionable insights on fostering a deeper father-child bond—while still preparing your kids for the real world. Stick around for honest reflections, a few laughs, and tips that will help any dad walk the fine line between being a guide, a leader… and a friend. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Balance Structure and Connection: Avoid leaning too hard into “just being friends” or being purely authoritarian. Kids crave both boundaries and genuine connection. Use Storytelling and Curiosity: When tough conversations arise, share your personal stories and ask thoughtful questions to guide your child's own critical thinking—instead of falling into lecture mode. Create a Supportive Environment: Physical order (like a clean room or set routines) supports mental clarity and well-being; maintain structure even during transitions to help kids thrive. This episode is packed with relatable, actionable insights on fostering a deeper father-child bond—while still preparing your kids for the real world. Here's what research and observation highlight about family emotional connection: children who reported having both warmth and structure from their fathers had a 30% higher chance of reporting positive life satisfaction and emotional regulation in adulthood compared to those who experienced only discipline or only friendship. Studies show that 67% of adolescents report they “completely tune out” or “stop listening” during long lectures from parents, favoring concise, two-way conversations instead. Studies show that 70% of young adults feel unprepared for the practical aspects of adulthood, while 59% of parents report feeling “uncertain” about how to best guide their children through these years 1stphorm.com/dadedge thedadedge.com/alliance https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKmhchXA95H/?igsh=bHcybXFlNHFwYmhl

The boys move on to discuss the latest Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory news. They shift gears and touch base on their comedy career goals.

The fellas close the show with the news - A study shows that the smell of donuts is a turn-on for men, the average American man spends $2,300 a year on dates, and quitting your job is better for your health than quitting smoking. 00:00 Intro 00:30 Cruise Ship Secrets 11:00 Jeffrey Epstein Update 15:00 Comedy Career Goals 23:00 Adults Only Vacations 29:00 Buying Private Islands 40:00 Hollywood Homeless 46:00 Deportation Debate 51:00 Terrible Jobs 55:00 Dealing Drugs 1:00:00 Weekly News Update Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpodcast #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #dating #cruise #carnivalcruise #cruiseship #cruises #jeffreyepstein #epstein #epsteinlist #epsteincase #epsteinisland #epsteinlist #epsteinfiles #conspiracytheory #conspiracy #career #careergoals #vacation #adult #adultsonly #privateisland #realestate #wealthy #rich #billionaire #hollywood #homeless #homelessness #immigration #deportation #massdeportations #badjobs #jobs #terriblejobs #donut #turnon #datingadvice #datingtips #quityourjob #quitting #health #healthy #ai #onlyfans

Chynna is the founder and CEO of Matriarch Made Development, a consulting firm that centers around helping companies and organizations develop high performing administrative teams, identify and address overall operating structure and event logistics inefficiencies and further cultivate assistant's talents. Named in honor of the four generations of maternal women who have paved the way for her to mature into the woman she has become today, Matriarch Made was founded on the principles that enabled Chynna to build a distinguished career in personal, government, and corporate environments. Raised by a single mother in Miami, Florida, on the outskirts of Liberty City. Chynna studied Event Management and Political Science with a minor in Business at the University of Florida. A proud Florida gator, Chynna's time at UF helped her to gain exposure to event management as a White House intern during the Obama administration. Upon graduation, Chynna spent years supporting the Obama's advance logistical teams until leaving her administrative role at The Walt Disney Company to ultimately become the “body-woman” of former First Lady Michelle Obama. In this capacity, Chynna helped Mrs. Obama connect with communities around the world. She ensured every detail of Mrs. Obama's personal and public facing events were executed flawlessly, directing teams who coordinated Mrs. Obama's domestic and international engagements. At the conclusion of the Obama administration, Chynna was retained by the personal office of Barack and Michelle Obama as their Director of Travel and Event Operations, where she continued to help manage the personal obligations of their family while continuing to oversee the coordination of Mrs. Obama's engagements. Now at Matriarch Made Development, Chynna helps leaders build core competencies such as but not limited to organization, teamwork, communication, problem solving, accountability and composure in administrative and executive teams.

Chynna strives every day to be an inspiration for young girls, especially those who have experienced similar life challenges. Chynna resides in Washington, DC with her wife Katina Hoyles. Links:
Sarah Davis is the founder and president of the luxury resale company Fashionphile. Davis was a self-proclaimed “debate nerd” during her teens and had early aspirations of becoming a lawyer. After earning her undergrad, she quickly enrolled in law school at the University of Maryland. Growing up, Davis had become accustomed to taking odd jobs to pay for things like clothing, so she applied that same mentality to putting herself through school. To make money, she cut boys' hair in the dorms and even started a peer-to-peer used lawbook platform with her brother-in-law called lawswap.com. She also began selling her belongings on eBay for extra cash, and that's when she realized that there was a largely untapped market for luxury resale. In 1999, she created a storefront on eBay called Fashionphile, focused on reselling luxury handbags, and was soon able to make enough money to pay off her student loans. Although Davis did graduate from law school and even pass the bar, she had found her true passion in growing her resale business and decided to opt out of pursuing a law career. She ran Fashionphile on eBay for the first several years of the business before bringing her brother-in-law into the fold and legitimizing the brand with its own website. Today, over 25 years later, Fashionphile is the largest platform in the country for buying and selling pre-owned, ultra-luxury accessories. The brand now has headquarters in San Diego and New York City, an office in Tokyo, and retail locations all across the country.

Check out my Free Worldbuilding and Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding This will help you refine your ideas for personal projects and build the skills needed to be a successful designer and author!—This is The Fiftieth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.Most artists think intent is fine art pretension, but it's actually the secret that transforms technically skilled work into art that connects.Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality!---Let's explore why artistic intent - often dismissed as "fine art nonsense" by commercial and entertainment artists - is actually the missing element that transforms technical skill into impactful work. The episode examines how the divide between fine art and commercial art education leaves technically proficient artists stuck in the "execution trap," where they can render beautifully but struggle to create work with purpose and direction.The discussion covers the practical reality that most entertainment artists are trained to execute someone else's vision, never learning to be the author of their own work. Tim breaks down how intent functions as both creative direction and decision-making filter, turning random technical ability into purposeful communication. The episode provides concrete methods for setting and using intent in daily art practice, from individual drawing sessions to larger personal projects.Rather than academic theory, this episode focuses on intent as a practical tool for working artists who want their technically solid work to create genuine connection with viewers. Tim argues that intent is what separates craft from art, and explores why many skilled artists unconsciously avoid developing this crucial element of their creative practice.—Chapters00:00:00 Intro00:01:05 Welcome00:02:22 When Technical Skill Isn't Enough00:09:07 The Intent Divide: Why We Avoid What We Need Most00:24:57 Intent Creates Direction: From Technician to Author00:42:54 Practical Intent: How to Actually Use This00:52:02 The Analytical Takeaway00:54:44 The Simple Takeaway00:55:03 The Practical Takeaway00:58:15 The Philosophical Takeaway01:07:51 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

Amelia Nash's journey from a small Canadian town to becoming a brand strategist in New York City is the epitome of non-linear creative exploration. Starting with dreams of being a French translator and drama teacher, Amelia's path took her through graphic design, marine biology aspirations, architecture firm work, insurance company design roles, freelance entrepreneurship during the pandemic, and ultimately to studying at SVA's prestigious Masters in Branding program.Her story is marked by a fearless approach to opportunity, consistently leaving situations where she felt capped in growth, and maintaining an attitude of "confetti in the wind" - throwing out applications and ideas to see what lands. From working as the sole designer at an architecture firm to building a successful branding studio during COVID-19, Amelia demonstrates how curiosity and courage can create unexpected opportunities.Now working as Brand and Marketing Manager at SVA's Masters in Branding program and as a senior staff writer for Print magazine, Amelia embodies the power of asking questions, embracing change, and refusing to settle for work that doesn't challenge her to grow.Key TakeawaysEmbrace non-linear paths - Your career doesn't need to follow a straight line; sometimes the most interesting journeys are like "confetti in the wind"Ask questions fearlessly - Being told you "ask too many questions" might be a sign you've outgrown your current environmentUse the one-day grief rule - Allow yourself to feel disappointment fully for one day, then move forward with renewed energyApply without high expectations - Submit applications and proposals as practice runs, removing pressure and fear of rejectionLeave when you hit your growth cap - Don't stay in positions where you can't evolve, even if they seem secureTurn disruption into opportunity - The pandemic became Amelia's launching pad for freelance success by helping others pivot their businessesLeverage curiosity as a career tool - Endless curiosity and quick boredom can be superpowers for finding new opportunitiesDon't overthink the outcome - Focus on trying rather than succeeding; most attempts won't work out, but that's not the pointListen for unexpected doors - A simple podcast mention led to SVA application and complete life transformationChoose growth over comfort - Repeatedly choosing uncertainty and challenge over stability led to increasingly fulfilling opportunities Daring Creativity.

Denise Woodard is the founder and CEO of Partake, an allergy-friendly food company. Woodard started her career in pound-the-pavement sales roles at Philip Morris and FedEx, gaining robust experience in winning business by providing genuine solutions to her clients. She then spent the majority of her early career at the Coca-Cola Company, starting in sales and then finding her niche working on the emerging brands that were better aligned with her values, like Honest Tea and Health-Ade. After rising through the ranks and becoming the director of national sales for Coca-Cola's Venturing and Emerging Brands (VEB), Woodard was proud of the career she had built for herself and didn't envision she'd ever leave her job. But after having her daughter, Vivienne, and finding out her child suffered from food allergies, she started to realize just how stark the allergy-friendly food landscape was. She couldn't find any options that were nutritious and delicious, and after some nudging from her nanny, Woodard decided to do something about it. She promptly put together a new business pitch for an allergy-friendly snack brand, entered a pitch competition, and won. She spent the next year building Partake while working her day job before leaping into it full-time. Since then, Woodard has become the first Black woman to raise over $1 million for a packaged food company, and Partake Foods can now be found in over 18,000 retailers, including Target and Whole Foods.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Dr Sanele Gamede, Career Consultant and Lecturer at UJ’s Department of Communication and Media, as the country weighs in on the fallout from Judge Selby Mbenenge’s tribunal where calling female staff “big girls” or “children,” paired with emojis and casual compliments, has sparked a national debate about workplace boundaries, professionalism, and power. While some messages were left out of the initial complaint, forensic evidence revealed hundreds more, raising questions about what’s appropriate at work, how digital communication complicates intent, and when banter becomes harassment especially when it comes from the boss. Bongani makes sense of the news, interviews the key newsmakers of the day, and holds those in power to account on your behalf.

The discussion explores how artists can create significant projects by chipping away in 15-minute increments, and why this approach often produces better results than waiting for perfect conditions.The episode examines the relationship between flow states and shorter work sprints, drawing parallels to athletic performance where focus can be achieved despite distractions. It breaks down the practical advantages of building a "chipping away" muscle, including staying warmed up creatively, reducing friction to starting work, and replacing passive screen time with active creation. The core argument centers on the principle that all great works are completed through accumulated small efforts, and that learning to manage projects in small chunks prepares artists for larger opportunities when they arise.—00:00:00 Intro00:01:10 Welcome00:02:27 Why We Think We Need 6-Hour Sessions00:06:45 Flow, Focus, and Small Chunks of Time00:18:13 The Advantages of Building the Chipping Away Muscle00:31:19 Making Art More Fun00:35:24 Big Things Are Always Finished by Small Efforts00:48:29 The Analytical Takeaway00:52:34 The Simple Takeaway00:53:00 The Practical Takeaway00:57:10 The Philosophical Takeaway01:00:36 Out—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

Alyssa Wasko Stein is the founder and designer of Los Angeles–based womenswear brand Donni. Stein has had entrepreneurial tendencies since childhood, but she didn't always know her love of fashion would take her down the designer path. She studied a different part of the fashion industry (retailing and consumer sciences) and secured a coveted internship in Chanel's visual merchandising department during college. But after her father's passing at the beginning of her sophomore year, Stein sought out a creative outlet for her grief. She began handmaking and selling scarves, naming the business Donni Charm after her father, Donald. Stein slowly grew her side business while continuing to work at Chanel after graduating, but after some early wholesale success, she decided to focus on Donni Charm full-time. She moved operations to Los Angeles and rebranded to simply Donni. Most significantly, though, she stumbled into designing ready-to-wear clothing, as she wanted specific pieces to style with her scarves. While Stein had no prior clothing design experience, it came naturally to her, and she surprised herself with a full line of 30 SKUs within four weeks, laying the groundwork for the Donni we know and love today.

This week on Windowsill Chats, Margo is joined by Mary McGreevy, the creative mind behind the viral TikTok account Tips From Dead People. What began as a curious, ironic hobby—reading obituaries for life advice—has blossomed into a meaningful exploration of what it means to live well. With a background in public policy and a penchant for heartfelt storytelling, Mary has built a community around the simple idea that there's wisdom in the words left behind. Margo and Mary explore how obituaries—whether poignant, irreverent, funny, or achingly honest—reveal what really matters at the end of the day. They talk about how quirks, flaws, and tiny joys shape the legacies we leave behind, why zigzagging through careers and passions can be more fulfilling than following a set path, and how embracing our humanity—mess and all—creates space for connection. Mary and Margo discuss: The beginnings of Tips From Dead People and how it evolved from a personal hobby into a viral phenomenon Why traditional career advice like “find your passion” can be misleading How reading obituaries illuminates the richness of so-called “ordinary” lives The value of quirks, humor, and imperfections in shaping how we're remembered Shifting our definition of success from accolades to meaningful details Creating inclusive spaces built on shared humanity Why being a generalist in life and career can be a strength, not a weakness What obituaries can teach us about writing (and rewriting) our own life stories How weird, one-off ideas often turn out to be the most impactful The healing, grounding power of stories—especially those from unexpected places Connect with Mary: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tipsfromdeadpeople IG: https://www.instagram.com/tipsfromdeadpeople/ Substack: https://substack.com/@tipsfromdeadpeople Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill https://www.yourtantaustudio.com/thefoundry

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 29: Career Advice. Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 466 of MuggleCast, titled “Weasleys Victorious.” Harry feels betrayed and disillusioned after witnessing James's behavior. Is it fair to let this one memory define James as a character? Should Harry have shared the contents of the memory with Ron and Hermione? Could McGonagall or Hagrid have helped to ground him a bit? Snape's Worst Memory explains quite a bit, but it doesn't validate his treatment of Harry! Should Harry feel bad for Snape? Despite the author's commentary, some of us are still befuddled as to how memories viewed in the Pensieve are unbiased. Mirror, Mirror: why didn't Harry remember Sirius' gift? And why didn't Sirius point this out to Harry during their Floo conversation? Super Petty Snape: the symbolism of him smashing Harry's Invigoration Draught MAX THAT entire Career Advice scene between McGonagall and Umbridge! It's nice to see McGonagall balance encouragement with realism when giving Harry advice. But is too much emphasis being put on O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s? Make the Real Life Connection: Did the hosts ever have career conversations like Harry when we were in school? Should Umbridge even be present for Harry's career consultation? We discuss the "sirius" risk(s) Harry took by breaking into Umbridge's office! Does the conversation with Sirius & Lupin actually do anything to reassure Harry? The Great Weasley Escape and... Hot Peeves?! The hosts share the best advice Harry actually receives in this chapter! In our Lynx Line segment for the week, we ask our Patrons what's really going through McGonagall's head as she is constantly interrupted by Umbridge? Quizzitch: Filch seeks approval for whipping from Umbridge. The sound of a bullwhip cracking is caused by what specific thing occurring with the whip? Learn more about your ad choices.
