“I think we make the business of parenting disproportionally difficult - if we assume that everything is within our control.” Rory Sutherland on DADicated.com Rory Sutherland is one of the most influential men in the advertising world, a charismatic speaker and Dad of twins. He’s the former Vice Chairman of Ogilvy Group, has served as Chair of the Judges in Cannes and is a best-selling author. He is very intelligent, fun and will get your brain and heart to fire up. Do yourself a favour and listen to this lighthearted discussion around the sheer disruption that parenting brings to an otherwise tidy, domesticated life. The most powerful takeaways for me as a dad were: It’s important in a multi-child household to keep the rules the same for everyone That there are some things that parenting cannot change so there is really no upside in getting too upset about that. Our job as parents is to prevent catastrophe. Simply: keep them from worst-case scenarios To book Philipp’s keynote on building successful families simply to reach out via www.dadicated.com.

I will be my own guest tonight. This show will be treated as if I am asking the questions I typically ask others about their reason for loving baseball and their baseball "origin" story. I will talk a LOT about why I love the sport of baseball, what I see as far as the potential idea for my podcast going forward (as well as writing) and I will lastly bring up my experience from Twins Fest over the past weekend. Please give a listen if you are so inclined, or go into the chat room if you want to ask questions Have a great day!
