Ever notice how most spray cleaners and detergents seem to be marketed straight out of the 1950s... and almost always to moms? Entrepreneur Sean Busch is on a mission to flip the script. Sean is a dad of two kids who LOVE to make messes, and he's the founder of Dad Mode, a new line of high-performance cleaning products designed specifically for dads. Sean joins us to talk about why it's important that dads meaningfully contribute to housekeeping, what “choreplay” means (and how it might just be the secret to more balance), and the potential risks and rewards of selling gendered products. Several of Adam's favorite recent episodes:Navigating Miscarriage and Grief as a Dad (Kelly Jean-Philippe)What Will Our Kids Be Saying About Us?

Deal filter in three bullets:Fixed‐cost rehabs only (no ground-up builds).Max 70 % ARV, verified by local broker price opinions, not borrower wish-lists.Exit must exist—listings, refi term sheets, or seasoned rental comps in hand.Risk killers Scott won't skipPricing today (June 2025)Secondary-market sweet spotTwo red flagsAction step: download Scott's one-page Draw Inspection Checklist To obtain more information or ask additional questions about this week's Real Estate Notes Show, use this link https://bit.ly/45ihqAq**Never Miss a Live Show**, Add our Calendar to yours!

In this episode of the Fitness League, hosts Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle discuss the transformative experience of cold plunging, the challenges of balancing parenting with personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining in-person community connections. They share personal anecdotes about their experiences with cold plunges, the benefits of tracking recovery through heart rate variability (HRV), and the complexities of navigating social media as entrepreneurs. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication within family dynamics and the need to prioritize mental health during busy seasons of life. Takeaways: Cold plunging can be a transformative experience. The cold is a tool for mental and physical resilience. Maintaining in-person community connections is vital for mental health. Balancing parenting and work requires clear communication. It's important to prioritize self-care and mental health. Social media can be both a tool and a distraction. Tracking recovery metrics like HRV can provide insights into wellness. Seasons of life require different priorities and boundaries. It's okay to say no to social obligations for personal well-being. Creating a supportive network can enhance personal and professional growth.   APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Cold Plunge Challenge 02:46 The Experience of Cold Plunging 05:49 Adrenaline and Cold Plunge Dynamics 08:40 The Aftermath: Energy and Recovery 11:20 Data Insights: HRV and Cold Exposure 14:56 Parenting Insights and Lessons Learned 17:55 Navigating Parenting Challenges 19:09 Family Connections and Nature 23:41 The Importance of Digital Detox 29:18 Balancing Work and Family Life 35:10 Communicating Needs in Parenting 40:55 Reflections on Family Dynamics

Summer Reading Adventures: Discovering Family, Culture, and Imagination Through Children's Books Get ready for an exciting journey into the world of children's literature that will inspire parents, kids, and book lovers everywhere! In this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty dives into two incredible books that prove reading is about so much more than just turning pages. First up, we meet Helena Ku Rhee, author of "Shoes Off, Please," a heartwarming picture book that explores cultural traditions through a child's eyes. Helena shares how her own childhood experiences of removing shoes at home inspired a story that teaches kids about respect, family customs, and understanding different cultural practices. It's a delightful tale that shows how seemingly simple rules can hold deep meaning. Then, SJ Engelman takes us on a hilarious adventure with "Max Mission, Diary: Operation Save the Summer," a middle-grade novel that tackles the modern challenge of screen time. Following Max's mission to reclaim his video games, the book offers a laugh-out-loud look at family dynamics, creativity, and the importance of unplugging and connecting with the real world. Both authors share a common thread - the power of personal storytelling. They transform their own family experiences into engaging narratives that resonate with kids and parents alike. From Helena's shoe-removing tradition to SJ's video game battles, these books prove that the best stories come from real life. The episode is a treasure trove of insights for parents looking to encourage reading, understand their children's perspectives, and create meaningful family connections. Whether you're dealing with screen time struggles or want to explore cultural traditions, these books offer something special. So grab a book, cuddle up with your kids, and get ready to laugh, learn, and love reading together. Trust us, these stories are about to become your new family favorites!

Titles don't build trust, people do. And according to Rebecca Goodman-Stephens, that's where real leadership begins. Rebecca is the CEO of Moses Singer, a New York law firm, but her story starts far from the legal world. She grew up across the UK, Switzerland, and France, studied clinical psychology, and built her career in consulting and public accounting before stepping into her current role. Along the way, she kept coming back to the same core skill: understanding people. As she joins hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg, Rebecca shares how her background shaped her leadership style, and why listening, curiosity, and follow-through matter more than any formal authority. How do you get people to want to work with you? How does one shift a firm's culture without blowing up what's already working? Rebecca also talks about her move into legal services and what surprised her most, like how much creativity and momentum she's found in a space often viewed as slow to change. From evolving compensation structures to narrowing focus and driving intentional growth, she walks through the mindset behind her first two years as CEO. This episode touches on private equity and what legal leaders can learn from the accounting world. Rebecca offers a clear message: don't wait for outside investment to fix what you haven't yet addressed internally.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet Rebecca Goodman-Stephens 04:04 How Clinical Psychology Shapes Rebecca's Leadership Approach 08:02 Lessons from Consulting and Public Accounting 12:52 Why Rebecca Moved into Legal Services 15:50 What Surprised Rebecca About the Legal Industry 17:27 Leading Change as CEO at Moses Singer 21:13 Private Equity and the Future of Law Firms 24:23 Building a Resilient, Forward-Looking Organization 26:41 Launching a Business-Focused Law Firm Podcast 27:56 Personal Passions, Family Life, and New York Favorites   Links Connect with Rebecca Goodman-Stephens: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-goodman-stephens-b702665/   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hrosenberg/ Company web profile: https://www.baretzbrunelle.com/howard-rosenberg   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

ITP - 123 We are joined by Monique and Jimmy, two teachers who packed up their lives in the U.S. and are now gearing up for a big move to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Their story kicks off at a job fair—those hectic, slightly awkward events where life-changing decisions are made in 30-minute interviews and coffee-fueled conversations. They share the twists and turns that led them to say yes to this new chapter, and all the serendipitous moments in between.We also hear from Darian, who's already living in Saudi, and offers the kind of real-talk you wish you'd hear more often—what family life actually looks like over there, how the culture feels on the ground, and how kids adjust when “home” gets redefined.This conversation gets into it all—the nerves, the excitement, the never-ending to-do list before a big international move. There's talk of cultural shifts, how Saudi Arabia is changing fast, and what that means for families like Monique and Jimmy's. We talk about safety, schools, food, friendships, and those unexpected moments of connection that remind you why you took the leap in the first place.There are laughs, a few deep breaths, and a lot of reflection—on parenting abroad, building a life in a new place, and figuring out how to thrive, not just survive. From funny travel stories to heartfelt moments about what it means to chase something new as a family, this episode is a reminder that moving overseas isn't just about changing your location—it's about changing your lens.Chapters(00:00) Introduction and Guest Welcome(02:38) Monique and Jimmy's Journey to International Teaching(05:37) Job Fair Experiences and Serendipity(08:38) Finding the Right Fit in Saudi Arabia(11:31) Living in Saudi Arabia: Insights from Darian(14:36) Cultural Experiences and Family Life(17:31) Navigating Life as Expats in Saudi Arabia(21:33) Exploring Jeddah: A Family Adventure(21:40) Cultural Insights and Gender Dynamics(23:04) Safety and Freedom for Children(26:44) Preparing for Life in Saudi Arabia(31:01) Navigating the Relocation Process(36:02) Balancing Work and Family Transitions(36:14) Mid Break - Contact ITP(41:06) Networking and Finding the Right Fit(49:33) Preparing for the Move(52:30) Navigating Emotions and Adjustments(55:28) Cultural Identity and Home(57:12) Experiences Abroad and Connection(01:00:31) Packing and What Matters(01:02:35) Adventures and Misadventures(01:08:43) Final Thoughts and ReflectionsThe International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

Boldness looks different when you're a gay dad, a former Broadway dancer, and raising a toddler named Maverick in Florida.   To kick off Pride Month, John Corella is joined by Bret and Stephen, Broadway performers, husbands, and proud dads, who offer an honest look at parenting, partnership, and identity. They talk about raising their son Maverick with intention, finding joy in everyday moments, and the kind of quiet courage it takes to show up as a two-dad family in spaces built for straight families.   Where does boldness come from when the world keeps trying to put you in a box? What does it mean to raise a child who sees authenticity modeled at home? Through stories about sobriety, social media, and their dance competition backgrounds, Bret and Stephen reflect on what has shaped them and what they hope to pass on.   This episode questions the norms that still dominate parenting culture and the dance world, and it offers a reminder that being seen can be a radical act of love.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Pride Month Kickoff 08:57 Becoming Bold as Gay Parents 15:03 How Dance Competitions Shaped Identity 17:55 Coming Out and Family Reactions 21:03 Advice for LGBTQ+ Youth 23:50 Finding Joy in Parenting and Creativity 26:55 Coping with Online Negativity 36:57 Personal Stories of Addiction and Recovery 42:20 Relationship Advice for Gay Men 44:10 Authenticity vs. Conformity in Gay Culture 47:51 Navigating Monogamy and Open Relationships 53:47 Parenting Challenges and Emotional Growth 56:34 What Fatherhood Has Taught Us 01:00:07 Public Reactions to Gay Dads 01:04:46 Challenging Gender Norms in Parenting 01:16:30 Understanding Straight Privilege in Family Life 01:21:15 How Representation Shapes Queer Families 01:23:11 Celebrating Pride and Building Community   Links Connect with Bret and Stephen: www.instagram.com/broadwayhusbands https://substack.com/@broadwayhusbands   Connect with John Corella: Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dancedadwithjohncorella/ John on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/john_corella/ Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheonlyDanceDadwithJohnCorella Website: johncorella.net Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Stéphanie welcomes Ann and Dave Wilson, the hosts of global ministry and syndicated radio show FamilyLife, to discuss key insights from their decades of marriage and ministry. The title of their new book says it all: "How to speak life to your husband when all you want to do is yell at him." What if one small shift—like choosing encouragement over criticism—could change the tone of your whole marriage? Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime. The Wilsons, through vulnerability and wisdom, highlight how Christian spouses—particularly wives, though the lessons are universal—can profoundly impact their marriages by transforming their mindset and the words they speak. Recognizing Shifting Cultural Dynamics Ann shares that over 45 years of marriage and ministry, she's observed a cultural shift. Dissatisfaction and unrest in marriages seem more common, with a tendency for spouses—especially wives—to see their partners as adversaries or projects for improvement. Ann notes the escalation of negative speech and a belief that critiques or reminders will motivate change. In reality, frequent criticism often demotivates the other partner. The Power of Words A pivotal story shared by Ann involves her realization that her well-intended feedback sounded like constant “booing” to Dave. Ann genuinely believed her critiques would help Dave become a better husband, father, and man. However, after an honest conversation and prayer, Ann discovered that her negative words were discouraging him more than anything. This revelation led her to a critical self-examination and a commitment to use her words to encourage rather than to correct. The Path from Critique to Affirmation Ann's journey involved asking God for conviction—not condemnation—and humbly examining her attitude. She confronted her own pride, recognizing the difference between thinking "I failed" (which God forgives and restores) and "I am a failure" (which is condemnation and shame). With this shift, she chose to focus on what was good and praiseworthy in Dave, believing that God calls spouses to be each other's chief encouragers. The Science Behind Positive Illusion Ann references Dr. Helene Fisher's research, which found that happy, long-term marriages are characterized by a “positive illusion”—focusing on what you like about your spouse, intentionally rewiring your mindset to notice and affirm the good. This is supported by brain science and aligns with biblical instructions about renewing your mind. Practical Outworking and Challenges Practically, Ann began to express gratitude and appreciation—starting with simple thanks for Dave's hard work. Dave testifies that these words of encouragement were more powerful than any affirmation he received elsewhere. This shift motivated him to grow into the person Ann saw in him. A Revolution of Respect and Gratitude Ann frames this approach as a “rebellion” against a culture that devalues respect. By choosing respect and gratitude—whether verbally, in writing, or through a daily journal—wives can breathe life and hope into their husbands, families, and homes. Dave affirms that authentic encouragement, rather than critique, draws men toward home and transforms family culture. The God-Given Power of Influence Through Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, any spouse can become a speaker of life in marriage. This transformation is not about being passive or suppressing truth but about courageously choosing love, hope, and affirmation as radical acts of faith—ultimately reflecting God's heart for us. How might shifting from critique to encouragement change the atmosphere in your closest relationships? What step can you take today to practice the “positive illusion” in your marriage or family? ABOUT THE BOOK “HOW TO SPEAK LIFE TO YOUR HUSBAND WHEN ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS YELLE AT HIM” Discover the marriage you've always hoped for. With practical tools to help you communicate more effectively, you'll learn to speak the language of love and grace that will encourage and strengthen your husband at every turn. Buy the book here: https://shop.familylife.com/product/how-to-speak-life-to-your-husband-when-all-you-want-to-do-is-yell-at-him/  Ann Wilson spent more than a decade longing for a better marriage and for her husband to be more attentive, more involved, more helpful, and just all-around better. And every chance she got, she told him so. Where she thought she was being helpful, she was instead badgering him with constant critiques until all he heard was, “Boo! Boo!” when they were together. It almost broke their marriage. But Ann discovered the power that God has given wives. No matter how long you've been married, you don't need to spend another minute hoping and wishing for things to be different. They can! And the power is in your hands. In this motivating, honest new book, Ann–marriage coach and bestselling author with her husband, Dave–shares how she breathed new life into her marriage by stewarding one of the most powerful gifts believers inherit from the Creator: encouragement. God has given wives a superpower to influence their husbands and homes, and you can use that power to build up and encourage your man to be a better husband, father, and man of God while still speaking truth to him. Relatable, encouraging, biblical, and funny, Ann shares stories from her own life, as well as valuable insights from Scripture, to help you: ·         Address the ways you process and justify your communication patterns ·         Seek spiritual and relational (re)alignment with both your husband and God ·         Learn to exercise self-control and demonstrate radical grace in conversations with your husband ·         Begin to cheer more than boo–in a way that isn't put on, fake, or inauthentic ·         Learn to speak truth in a way your husband can really hear you ·         And, ultimately, cultivate a grace-based marriage that thrives ·         Real people in real relationships have real problems, but with God's help, you can heal and sustain your marriage for a lifetime.

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of Fathers in the Bible as we flipped to Exodus 18 to analyze Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro, as father-figures. We saw how Jethro provided counsel to Moses regarding his leadership, and because of the context of their relationship and who Jethro was, Moses was humble and receptive to it. Often, God places father-figures in our lives to help guide and counsel us because they may have experience or wisdom in areas we may not. We turned to the phone lines to hear about the father-figures in the lives of our listeners and how they impacted their lives. We also had Ron Deal join us to discuss the role and significance of a non-biological father figure, the step-dad. Ron is a best-selling author, licensed marriage and family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker. He is also the Founder and President of Smart Stepfamilies and Director of Blended, a division of Family Life. Ron has authored several books, including “The Smart Stepdad.” Janet Parshall also joined us in analyzing the worldview of the modern woman with that of a godly woman. Janet hosts the national program, In the Market with Janet Parshall, which airs weekdays from 4-6 pm CT. She has been broadcasting from the nation’s capital for over three decades and has spoken internationally.

Have you ever asked yourself: "Am I truly supporting my child's unique passions, or just steering them?" "How can I foster real self-confidence and creativity in my kids?" "Is our family calendar too jam-packed to allow for true connection?" If these questions resonate, today's conversation offers a heartwarming and insightful perspective on what children truly need from their fathers. Larry Hagner welcomes the dynamic mother-daughter duo, bestselling author Kelly Corrigan and her daughter, Claire Corrigan Lichty. While not dads themselves, their lived experiences as loving daughters and keen family observers bring a fresh, invaluable perspective to fatherhood that every dad needs to hear. Kelly shares heartfelt stories of her powerful relationship with her father, George Corrigan, whose unwavering support and willingness to let her "lead" fundamentally shaped her self-confidence and creativity. Become the best husband and leader you can: bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this candid conversation, we dig into: The profound impact of a father's unwavering support and the courage to "follow your child's lead." The importance of nurturing a child's unique interests and fostering their authentic self, rather than trying to mold them. The surprising magic of simple, unstructured moments and their role in building resilience, joy, and lifelong self-soothing skills. The hidden pitfalls of overscheduling kids and how it can hinder genuine connection and development. Valuable lessons from their new children's book, Marianne The Maker, on helping kids discover and express who they really are.
