Alright friends, in this episode I got to sit down with the amazing Larry Hagner from The Dad Edge—and let me tell you, this conversation was so good. We talked all things parenting—the highs, the lows, the “did that just happen?” moments—and how building strong communities (for both moms and dads) is absolutely essential. We also got into the nitty gritty of personal growth in relationships—like, how it's way more powerful to lead by example than to try and “coach” your partner. Larry shared the journey that led him to create his community for dads, and I opened up about the magic—and sometimes madness—inside women's circles. We chatted about the importance of emotional intelligence, why encouragement always beats nagging, and how choosing your “hard” is what really leads to connection and fulfillment. It's honest, it's real, and I promise you'll walk away with something to think about.

Reignite your marriage: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with Scott Zemens who epitomizes the power of personal transformation within family life and fatherhood. He's a dedicated business owner who, not long ago, found himself struggling to find balance in his life—feeling distant from his family and yearning for deeper connections with his kids. When he joined the Dad Edge Alliance, he made a bold commitment to step up, starting with daily, meaningful conversations with his children—asking open-ended questions to truly understand their world. On top of that, he made a life-changing decision to give up alcohol for a year, a move that radically reshaped his mindset, relationships, and energy as a father. The results have been extraordinary. His wife has expressed how much she loves the father he's become, especially his leadership in the home after the arrival of their baby last October. His kids now have a dad who listens more, talks less, and focuses on creating memories that will last a lifetime. Today, we'll dive into his journey—what inspired these changes, the lessons he's learned, and the advice he'd give to his pre-Alliance self about stepping into the kind of father, husband, and leader his family deserves.
