    In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow podcaster Douglas Batchelor of What Magic Is This? for a conversation about the mysterious spark at the heart of art and creativity.Douglas has recently become a father and we kick off our chat on how family life reshapes our relationship with creativity—how the presence of children can sharpen your awareness of time, deepen your sense of wonder, and remind you of the importance of passing on what truly matters.From there, we explore how poetry, photography, music, and even comics can reach beyond explanation to move us in ways that hint at the ineffable. I share my thoughts on the instinctive side of photography—especially street photography that captures fleeting moments with emotional force—while Douglas and I discuss the power of music, the strange nostalgia of childhood comics, and the shifting landscape of cinema, from Nosferatu on the big screen to today's spectacle-driven blockbusters. We continue the conversation for another 45 minutes in the plus show and get into some rich territory.What emerges is a meditation on creativity as something universal and timeless: the drive to make meaning, to capture the ineffable, and to pass along works that connect us across generations.Show notes:What Magic is This? https://whatmagicisthis.comMaster and Commander (film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHTHCNYiiHkNosferatu (film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nulvWqYUM8kOscar Peterson (jazz pianist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJhHn-TuDY&list=RDNTJhHn-TuDY&start_radio=1“Video nasties” — UK horror film ban in the 1980s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_nastyW.B.

    Father-Son Lessons on Patience, Communication, and Respect ft. Ethan Hagner

    In this father-son conversation on the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down once again with my son Ethan as we wrap up our August series on what it really means to grow from boyhood into manhood. This episode digs into the lessons society often fails to teach young men—like emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and the importance of spiritual leadership.   We share personal stories—some funny, some raw—about patience, distractions, and the times I've missed the mark as a dad. Ethan opens up about his work, his relationship, and how he's learning to grow into the kind of man the world truly needs. Together, we unpack what fathers and sons alike can do to become intentional leaders in their families, relationships, and communities.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and today's theme [2:02] - What kind of men the world needs (and what's missing today) [3:33] - Morning routines and health habits for energy and focus [4:06] - Ethan's take on toxic behaviors and emotional regulation [6:13] - Why patience is a skill every man must learn [9:08] - The dangers of unchecked anger and modeling healthy behavior [10:43] - Spiritual leadership: why families need fathers of faith [12:55] - Technology distractions and missing moments with family [14:13] - Ethan's memory of a walk interrupted by a work call [16:04] - Why presence matters more than productivity for kids [17:11] - Emotional IQ and learning to communicate feelings clearly [19:34] - The “blame game” in conflict and what's really being argued [21:29] - Why stating what you do want changes arguments instantly [23:51] - Communication lessons that transform relationships [26:14] - Humor, family dogs, and how laughter shapes connection [28:26] - Ethan's approach to relationship check-ins with his girlfriend [32:10] - Why small gestures (videos, letters, notes) keep love alive [34:09] - Preventative maintenance in relationships—like car care [35:41] - Ethan's life transitions: work, school, and EMT training [37:00] - Looking back: how podcasting captured growth in real time [39:22] - Lessons learned from starting with imperfect beginnings [41:25] - Tangents, laughter, and building stronger bonds through honesty [42:29] - Resources, free tools, and a final call to lead with intention     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Patience Is a Choice, Not a Trait Life tests your patience daily—but choosing to pause, breathe, and respond with calm sets the tone for your family and your relationships. 2. Spiritual Leadership Matters A father who prays, leads spiritually, and models faith gives his family the foundation they need to thrive—not perfection, but presence. 3. Distractions Cost Connection Every time work or technology interrupts family time, the message sent is “this is more important than you.” Presence is the true gift kids crave. 4. Communication Is Preventative Maintenance Arguments often circle around what we don't want. Learning to clearly state what we do want transforms conflict into connection. 5. Relationships Grow Through Small, Intentional Acts From handwritten letters to a quick morning video, little efforts create lasting connection. Relationships require maintenance—just like everything worth keeping.       LINKS & RESOURCES   First Phorm Supplements: https://www.thedadedge.com/1358 CREATINE LINK: https://1stphorm.com/products/micronized-creatine-monohydrate/?a_aid=dadedge Hydration Sticks: https://1stphorm.com/products/hydration-sticks/?a_aid=dadedge 25 Intimate Conversation Starters (Free Resource): https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools     If this episode gave you a new perspective on fatherhood, marriage, or raising sons, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

In May 2010, he was the squad leader on foot patrol when he stepped on an improvised explosive device.   The blast took both of his legs and his left hand. Medically discharged after his rehab at Walter Reed, Carlos served in the Marine Corps for eight years.  Carlos is now a minister with the Assemblies of God USA, a Wounded Warrior Spokesman, and a motivational speaker.   He and his wife, Rosemarie co-authored a book called Standing Together, an inspirational story of a wounded warrior and an enduring love.  They reside in Orlando, Florida, and they have two beautiful daughters.   If you'd like to contact Carlos or get a copy of his book, just go to his website at http://www.crevans.org    ----------------------     If you want to help us transform the lives of even MORE MEN for God's glory, please take a minute to leave us a helpful REVIEW on iTunes: http://www.rmcpodcast.com and SHARE this podcast with any young man (or men) you're mentoring or discipling.   Talk with Dr. Joe 1-on-1: Are you tired and stuck? Want to go to get your faith, marriage, family, career and finances back on track?  Then maybe it's time you got a coach.

    When we talk about households led by single parents, we often think about mothers. But a rising number of families are led by single fathers: men who are parenting alone by choice – whether through adoption or surrogacy – or because of divorce, separation or widowhood. Single dads often have the same challenges as single mothers because the economics and emotional work of parenting solo are not always easy. Yet, single fathers also report being lonelier and less sure of how to access support than mothers. We'll look at the experience of single fatherhood and hear from you: are you a single dad or were you raised by one? What's your story?

    In this episode, I break down the three currencies that truly define wealth as a man and father: presence, leadership, and financial provision.So many men get caught chasing money as the only measure of success, but the truth is that wealth isn't just financial—it's your ability to show up fully for the people you love, lead with clarity and strength, and create a stable foundation for your family's future.For me, wealth is the ability to be present. And when presence combines with leadership and provision, you create a life where your family doesn't just survive, they thrive.Tune in to hear how to recalibrate your priorities, shift your definition of success, and live a life of true wealth as a man, partner, and father.

Jessica also shares her perspective on what keeps our relationship strong after more than two decades together, even when life gets messy. If you're looking for practical tools and encouragement for your marriage and parenting, this episode delivers a mix of wisdom, laughter, and real-life stories.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Why conversations like this matter for marriage and parenting [2:10] - Building a marriage on respect and friendship [5:18] - How we handle conflict without tearing each other down [9:02] - Parenting four boys with different needs and personalities [13:37] - Why consistency matters in discipline and guidance [17:25] - The role of grace in creating a safe family environment [21:48] - Keeping our marriage strong in the middle of chaos [26:13] - Making intentional time for connection as a couple [30:05] - How we show each child that they are seen and valued [34:40] - Teaching respect by modeling it in our marriage [39:12] - The balance between structure and flexibility in parenting [43:55] - Why shared values anchor our family through challenges [48:21] - Leading our family spiritually and emotionally [52:18] - How laughter and friendship keep us connected [56:44] - Final reflections on creating a family rooted in love and respect     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1.

    In this special father-son episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with my son, Ethan, to continue our August series on raising boys into strong, capable men. Together, we dive into the real challenges young men face today and the lessons that shape character, responsibility, and confidence.   Ethan opens up about what he's learning through work, relationships, and personal growth, while I share insights on how fathers can guide without controlling. We discuss resilience, accountability, and the importance of choosing the right path—even when it's difficult. This conversation is raw, relatable, and packed with wisdom for both dads and sons who want to grow together.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to our August father-son series [2:10] - Ethan's reflections on independence and early adulthood [5:25] - Why accountability is the key to long-term success [8:41] - Lessons from failure and how to bounce back stronger [12:03] - How to balance freedom with responsibility [15:37] - Why building grit matters more than chasing comfort [19:10] - Navigating friendships and the power of influence [23:46] - What intentional living looks like as a young man [28:04] - Handling setbacks without losing confidence [32:19] - Why fathers need to lead by example, not just advice [36:55] - The role of gratitude in keeping perspective [40:28] - Ethan's biggest lessons so far in work and life [44:12] - Final reflections on manhood, growth, and legacy     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Accountability Creates Growth The willingness to own your choices and mistakes is what separates boys from men—it's the foundation of maturity. 2. Resilience Is Built Through Struggle Failure is not the end but the classroom. Every setback is an opportunity to learn grit and perseverance. 3. Freedom Without Responsibility Leads to Chaos True independence isn't doing whatever you want—it's learning to carry the weight of your decisions. 4. Influence Shapes Identity The people you surround yourself with will either pull you forward or drag you down. Choose wisely. 5.

    Welcome back to another episode of Creator Science. We have a different type of episode this week. I recently shared some stories on my social media about being a dad, and my good friend Jay Acunzo reached out and said we should do an episode talking about being parents and creators. I thought that was a great idea because, as I have spent the last year as a father, it's become so much more obvious to me that the voices in the space we pay attention to are not parents and do not quite have the same constraints and priorities that parents do. If you are a parent and you're doing this creator thing and you feel crazy because it seems like everyone has more time and can do a lot more than you are, you might find this to be an enjoyable, relatable listen. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Jay's Website / Instagram / LinkedIn / YouTube *** TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Parent-Creator Insights with Jay Acunzo 05:57 Life Sprinting: Parenting & Entrepreneurship 08:42 Distracted Parenting Moment 13:20 Transformational Life Experiences 14:46 From Creation to Management 20:12 Parenting and Career Amid Pandemic 23:58 Parenting Pioneers Among Peers 24:37 Blank Canvas vs. Paint By Numbers 28:25 Balancing Business and Relationship Priorities 32:22 Fatherhood and Social Connections 36:09 Balancing Work, Parenting, and Storytelling 37:47 Embracing Efficiency in Parenthood 43:32 Parenthood Deepens Understanding of Parents 46:31 Balancing Parenthood and Business Identity 47:47 Embracing Simplicity in Content Creation 52:18 Combining Friend Groups Dilemma 54:35 Balancing Public Persona and Family *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#251: Behind the Scenes: What I'm quietly working on *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your question here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** WHEN YOU'RE READY

    In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, entrepreneur and father Mike McCarthy returns to Fatherhood Field Notes to explore the deeper mission of raising strong, capable young adults. Drawing from his lived experience as a second-generation entrepreneur and co-founder of GoBundance, Mike shares why passing down more than just financial wealth matters. He dives into the importance of instilling core values, cultivating strong moral character, and transferring all forms of capital—intellectual, relational, spiritual, and cultural—across generations. You'll hear why he believes in giving kids “flint and kindling, not the fire,” and how intentional family rhythms, estate planning, and meaningful connection prepare children to earn their legacy rather than inherit it by default. With raw insight into parenting teens, nurturing family culture, and building trust through connection over correction, this episode is a must-listen for any father committed to long-term impact and generational success.Guest Link:WebsiteLinkedInGoBundanceLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

    In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Rock Thomas—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of the I Am Movement—to explore what it truly means to break free from limiting beliefs and take ownership of your life. Rock shares his journey from humble beginnings on a farm to building multiple successful businesses, and he unpacks the mindset shifts that helped him rise above struggle and design a life of purpose.   We dive into how the words you speak shape your identity, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right influences, and why most men never reach their full potential. Rock also shares practical strategies for fathers to model growth, resilience, and confidence for their children. If you've ever felt stuck, defined by your past, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will challenge you to rewrite your story and live with intention.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and introduction to Rock Thomas and the I Am Movement [3:08] - Growing up on a farm and the lessons of early hardship [7:15] - How childhood experiences shaped Rock's drive and identity [10:42] - Breaking free from the labels others put on you [14:20] - Why the words you use about yourself matter [18:55] - The turning point that shifted Rock's life trajectory [23:11] - The mentors who changed his mindset and path [27:36] - Building wealth without losing yourself in the process [31:48] - Why environment and community shape who you become [36:29] - The importance of modeling resilience for your kids [41:03] - Rock's strategies for reframing failure into fuel [45:17] - How to stop living by default and start living by design [50:42] - Parenting lessons: teaching kids ownership and responsibility [54:33] - Daily rituals and practices that keep Rock grounded [59:15] - The power of declaring “I Am” statements for identity [1:03:22] - Final reflections on building a life of purpose and growth     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Your Words Shape Your World The labels and stories you tell yourself directly influence your identity. Shifting your “I am” statements can transform your confidence, actions, and results. 2. Mentorship Accelerates Growth The right mentors can help you break through limitations and see possibilities you couldn't on your own. Who you learn from shapes who you become. 3. Environment Drives Identity The people you surround yourself with will either elevate you or keep you stuck. Community matters as much as personal discipline. 4. Failure Is Feedback Instead of avoiding mistakes, Rock reframes failure as fuel for growth. Every setback is a stepping stone to greater resilience and wisdom. 5. Parenting Is About Modeling Your children are watching how you live, not just what you say. Modeling ownership, resilience, and intentional living teaches them how to thrive.       LINKS & RESOURCES   • Rock Thomas Website: https://rockthomas.com • Learn About the I Am Movement: https://rockthomas.com/iam-movement • thedadedge.com/legendarybook • Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com • Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance • Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast     If this episode inspired you to take ownership of your story, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.
