Recorded while hiking through Northern Michigan this past Patreon episode is pure family chaos and nostalgia. Chalene and Bret swap stories about wakeboarding delays, indecisive dinner plans, and the perfectly unorganized rhythm of Chalene's family at Hubbard Lake. Chalene also shares how her sister met her now-husband at 12, plus the wild chapter when their family bought a ski lodge and turned it into a restaurant, complete with a sous chef who got arrested mid-shift. Between laughs, they reflect on how the environment shapes health, how Gen X freedom compares to Gen Z's screen life, and why parasocial friendships can feel so comforting. It's funny, unfiltered, and very Michigan.  

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Morgan Housel is the New York Times Bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, Same As Ever, and The Art of Spending Money. His books have sold over 10million copies and have been translated into more than 60 languages. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Notes: Morgan dedicated The Art of Spending Money to "Kellie the Unicorn" (his sister Kellie) after she was diagnosed with colon cancer and asked him to fulfill her long-running joke request. Sometimes book dedications "mean nothing to the reader, but they can mean everything to the author." People Who Bet on You - Brian Richards (Motley Fool boss) bet on Morgan when he didn't have to, providing unconditional support for a mediocre college writer. Craig Shapiro (Collaborative Fund) pursued Morgan for months to join his tiny VC firm as a full-time blogger when it wasn't a business necessity. What money can't buy - Morgan once heard a story from a priest that he'll never forget… It's from a priest who delivers the last rites in hospitals. He described the difference between what kids say to their parents when they're about to die. The priest tells them to tell their parents what they're most grateful for… In families with lots of problems, the kids usually talk about something that costs money. In the best families, the ones with solid relationships, the kids say the same thing every time. “Thank you for believing in me.” Making vs. Spending Money - "There are literally tens of thousands of books written on how to make money... There are virtually no books written about how to spend money." Most people assume spending needs no guidance, but wealthy people often demonstrate this isn't true. The Internal vs. External Scoreboard - Donald Crowhurst (fake sailor who killed himself seeking external validation) vs. Bernard Moitessier (expert sailor who quit before winning to avoid attention and live authentically). Modern society pushes us toward Crowhurst's external validation while we actually want Moitessier's internal satisfaction. The simplest formula for a pretty nice life: independence plus purpose. The independence to do what you want, and the wisdom to want to do meaningful things. Chuck Feeney's Wealth Example - The duty-free store billionaire first lived the stereotypical rich lifestyle, realized he didn't like it, then chose to live modestly and give away $10 billion. "I was happy when I was giving money away, and I was not happy when I wasn't giving money away." Every Dollar of Debt - "Every dollar of debt that you have is a piece of your future that someone else owns." Debt narrows the range of outcomes you can endure in an unknowable future. Money and Happiness Research - Recent studies show that earning more money only helps if you're already happy, joyful, and content. For depressed, anxious people, more money doesn't improve well-being. "It leverages whoever you are in either direction." What Money Can't Buy - The book is "40% about how to spend money to make yourself happier and 60% about realizing what money cannot do for you." Relationships, health, and personal fulfillment must come first. “Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart.” "Nobody gives a shit about anything other than how you make them feel." Vacation - Morgan realized while building sandcastles with his kids on the beach in Maui (10/10 experience) that building Legos at home with them was almost as good (9/10). The real value was "uninterrupted time with my family," which required travel to avoid daily distractions but pointed to what actually mattered. Ambition - Morgan's career drive crystallized while kayaking past $25 million mansions on Lake Washington in 2010: "I need to work harder. I want one of those one day." This wasn't envy but ambition - though he notes the line between inspiration and envy is thin, especially once you know the person. A high savings rate is not "saving" but is "purchasing independence." Each saved dollar buys freedom to handle life's unknowable future without someone else's schedule dictating his choices. Why Spending Is Complicated People try to fill emotional holes with material purchases Society tells us what we should like, which may not align with our actual preferences We chase peer comparison rather than personal satisfaction We overestimate the social rewards of nice possessions The Independence Framework Save money not for retirement but for freedom to handle uncertainty Debt narrows your options when life throws curveballs Independence means being able to do what you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want The Internal Scorecard "No one's watching. No one's thinking about you." When people notice your possessions, they're either imagining themselves having them or envying you for them Neither response gives you the social validation you're seeking Use money to buy independence rather than others' admiration Relationship Investments Focus on what creates "uninterrupted time with people you love" Consider how purchases enable deeper connections (bigger kitchen for family dinners) vs. impressing others Remember that belief and support matter more than material provision Purpose Morgan's purpose became clear the moment he became a father: "There. That's it... I don't matter anymore. That's the only thing that matters right there." Purpose can be parenthood, work, religion, or community, but it needs to be bigger than yourself. "Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart." They deliver profound psychological and social insights while focusing on how they make you feel, not their own status. Regret -- Gerontologist Carl Pillemer interviewed 1,000 Americans aged 90-100. Not a single one said, "I wish I earned more money" or "I wish I worked harder." Nearly all said "I wish I spent more time with my kids" and "I wish I were nicer to my spouse." Inspiration vs. Envy -- Morgan credits James Clear as inspiration for "The Psychology of Money" and describes him as incredibly successful yet humble and kind. This creates pure inspiration without envy, unlike other successful writers whose personalities trigger competitive feelings.

Does the idea of a whole summer one on one with your kid sound idyllic... or intimidating? If you've ever been the primary parent for a whole season, you've likely experienced both of those extremes. In this episode, we're joined by Joel Costigan, a longtime educator, soccer coach, and dad to a 7-year-old daughter named Ruby. Joel recently made a major career move, trading a lucrative healthcare job for an Ed Tech position, which brought him back to his roots and awarded him an entire summer to spend with Ruby. Joel shares what he learned navigating a busy, adventure-filled season as both planner and playmate, his biggest parenting fears, and the surprising joys (and challenges) of being a hands-on “girl dad." After the chat, stick around for Marc's family vacation story, complete his boys' accidental new signature move: "Peen pinching."Episode 128 of Modern Dadhood opens with a brief catch-up between the guys about the back-to-school season, and they discuss their plans to see friend-of-the-show Pete Holmes. Marc shares about an epic family vacation to Bar Harbor before they replay a recent conversation between Adam and longtime friend Joel Costigan. Joel is a husband, a father of one, and an Ed Tech at a public high school in Maine. His recent job change awarded him a full summer to spend with his 7-year-old daughter Ruby. LINKSCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

The empty nest phase doesn't mean the end of meaningful parent-child connections – it simply marks the beginning of a new kind of relationship. As summer vacations end and college drop-offs happen across America, many parents find themselves reminiscing about family trips and wondering how to maintain closeness with their now-adult children.Travel creates a unique opportunity to reconnect with adult children in ways that regular family gatherings often cannot. When we remove ourselves from daily distractions, responsibilities, and established home dynamics, we create space for authentic connection. Whether you're navigating an estranged relationship or simply want deeper conversations with your grown child who's busy with their own life, a shared journey offers neutral ground where new understanding can flourish.Success comes from thoughtful planning and approaching the experience differently than family vacations of the past. Understanding your adult child's travel personality (Are they adventure-seekers like my younger son or museum-lovers like my oldest?), involving them in destination decisions, setting clear financial expectations, and creating space for organic conversations are all crucial elements. Most importantly, treat them as the adults they've become – not as children who need constant oversight. Some of my most treasured moments with my sons happened unexpectedly, like a 1:30 AM heart-to-heart in an Irish castle after a false fire alarm. These shared experiences create lasting memories that strengthen your bond for years to come, and might even inspire your children to pursue their own love of travel – as my sons now do independently. Whether you're healing past wounds or simply creating new chapters together, travel offers the perfect setting to truly see and appreciate the adults your children have become.Ready to reconnect? Consider planning a trip with your adult child – it might become one of the most meaningful experiences of your relationship. The memories you create will last a lifetime, and the conversations you have might never have happened any other way.Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50Facebook community: Solo Travel for Women Over 50 https://www.facebook.com/groups/860865768609200

You ever been to the beach as a kid?You just ran straight to the water.But someone had to wake up early. Pack the van. Load the cooler. Lug the tent, chairs, towels, snacks, sunscreen…Then set it all up while you just laughed and played.That's what God is like.He's the Father doing all the work behind the scenes—fighting for you, providing for you, loving you—while you barely notice.In this episode, we break down this simple, powerful metaphor… and how it changes the way we see prayer, suffering, trust, and the hidden ways God moves in our lives.

Traveling can be a great way for families to bond outside of the normal patterns of everyday life. Lonely Planet's Nitya Chambers talks about some of the best family destinations, and shares tips for vacationing with the family. Plus, listeners share their most memorable family trips.

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and we're talking about Family Vacations with My Brother, The GOAT, Michael Jordan! First, though: a Tokyo Drift Minute with a transition to Sean at school (and a new actress whose filmography we can explore). While there's no real news, Vin continues to post through it. As we Run the VIN (happy birthday, Vin, btw!), we have our big question from last Fast Lane answered, we discover a new name for Dos Bandoleros (we're getting closer!), and we learn that we've lost a crucial resource for this segment. Does Vin Diesel know how to read Instagram comments? We debate. What's clear, though: he's still in Kojak and Riddick mode. We then cover the Hobbs & Shaw IMDb goofs, including one demonstrating a total waste of time for everyone involved. Is Sean's dad stealing valor? We explore. Plus: how long were Sean's parents together? We debate. We also talk about spending time with our moms.
