It is defined as a video, photo, or audio recording that seems real but has been manipulated with AI. They have become deeply concerning to parents around the world because of how realistic they look. Technology has advanced so much that it's becoming hard to tell what reality and what's fiction, and that has dangerous implications for parents. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, and Jason Hood break down how people are using AI to create confusing and harmful content. A whopping 73% of parents told the polling service Barna that they're “concerned” about kids using AI. Maybe that's because kids across the nation have begun using AI to create deepfakes to bully peers. In multiple states, students have been caught creating fake images of classmates, often involving nudity. It's a tricky offense to prosecute since many states don't have laws against AI-generated material yet. The fact that deepfakes are technically not “real” images presents another legal challenge to keeping users in check.  What are parents supposed to do? Here are a few tips if you're worried about AI deepfakes impacting your child:1. Stay informed about AI-generated capabilities.2. Educate your kids about AI with your values in mind.3. Establish clear tech rules before letting your child use a chatbot.4. Try out an AI image-creator together before handing over the tool.5. Take steps to protect your kids from predators who use AI tech. Bottom line: AI isn't going away, so stay up to date on all the ways it's being used and expect constant changes.Pro Move of the Week: Ask your kids if they know what a “deepfake” is. Talk about what your family feels are appropriate and inappropriate ways to use AI.  Other resources: 5 Ways to Keep Kids Safe With AI Images and Deepfakes3 Insights for Parenting in the Age of AI4 Warning Bells as AI Continues to Influence the WorldAI Quiz 1AI Quiz 2AI Images That Went Viral in 2023Baltimore School Firing Over AI-generated Audio (NPR)EXTRAS: Follow us: Instagram | Facebook | X (Twitter)Join nearly 200,000 other dads by subscribing to the All Pro Dad Play of the Day.

Veteran dads Ted Lowe, Jason Hood, and All Pro Dad Founder Mark Merrill share strategies they've used to dig down deep and get to know their children better than ever.When kids know dad wants to know the real them, they tend to open up more. That's a win for us as dads but we can get in our own way sometimes. Our personalities may differ from our kids'. Our likes and dislikes don't always align.

Grocery store tantrums. Refusing to follow directions. The list of ways kids act out goes on and on. Acting out is how kids test their limits, learn their voice, and, in a way, mature. But it can be incredibly frustrating for parents to see their child acting out. Ted Lowe, Jason Hood, and Buck Buchanan talk about what they've done to try and keep their kids from becoming disruptive or disrespectful.One thing that helps when you have a child acting out is to run their behavior through this series of questions:1.    Is this a first-time behavior? 2.    Is this childish behavior or willful disobedience?  3.    Did I clearly communicate what our family values in this situation? 4.    Am I making it easy for my kid to talk to me about tough things? 5.    What, if any, consequence should there be? 6.    Is there an underlying issue that contributed to my child's behavior? 7.    What can I do to help my kid learn from this experience?  Understanding why your child is behaving a certain way will help you address it appropriately. Today's Pro Move: Choose one situation with your kid that you are unsure how to handle and run it through the seven questions above.   Other resources: The Secret to Stopping Bad Behavior5 Decisions You Can Make to End DisrespectTeaching Boys How to Handle Their Emotions (iMOM)Send us a Text Message.EXTRAS: Follow us: Instagram | Facebook | X (Twitter)Join nearly 200,000 other dads by subscribing to the All Pro Dad Play of the Day.

Think back to when you were a kid. Did you stuff your emotions down? Did you let them all hang out? Parenting can be a wild ride, especially if your kids' emotions are constantly changing. Dads need to prepare for the highs, lows, twists, and turns. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, and Jason Hood think through the safest way to ride the emotional roller coaster with your kids.  One mistake dad make when helping kids navigate their feelings is expressing too many themselves. If your kids are getting mad, do you react with more anger? If they're anxious, do you get stressed out? One of the best things we can do as dads is to stay emotionally calm, empathetic, and strong. Often kids don't know what they are feeling. When we say strong, calm, and empathetic, they only have to deal with their own confusing emotions, not ours. Here are a few tips for the next time your child is on that emotional roller coaster: 1. Be calm.  If your kid is expressing his or her frustration in a negative way, it's tough not to do the same. Research shows the more you practice being calm the better you get at it.2. Be empathetic. While you want to be calm, you don't want to be cold. Just validating their emotions goes a long way in soothing their emotions.3. Be strong. While we want to be empathetic, it doesn't always mean we need to intervene. Being strong means letting them know what is OK and what is not. More Podcasts on this Topic:Episode 2: How Can I Help My Anxious Kid?Episode 17: What Is The Key to Raising A Happy Kid?Full All Pro Dad YouTube playlistToday's Pro Move: This week, watch how your kid's emotions impact your emotions.Other resources: The 1 Type of Ball You Don't Want to Play With Your Kid Do You Have Resilient Children?

This is the All Pro Dad podcast, where in each episode, dads of all ages dive into just one question. Today, we ask, “Should your kids be your top priority?”If your son or daughter walks into the room with a bloody nose, we should spring into action! Our kids clearly need us when they are injured. But there are plenty of not-so-obvious times when our kids need us to drop everything for them, too. Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, and Jason Hood list a few of the times when we need make our kids our top priority.Here are a few of those moments to look out for as a dad:1. When They FailYour kids are more than the sum of their failures. Encourage perseverance and ooze forgiveness. Remind them that sometimes they will come up just short, but you love them anyway.2. When They Are SickThis is different from getting hurt. When our kids are sick, they need to know that their well-being is our top priority. Don't leave it all for Mom to handle.3. When They Get in With the Wrong CrowdThe younger the child, the more easily he or she is influenced. According to Choosing Therapy, about 85% of high school students have felt peer pressure at some point. Get involved, even if it's awkward, to try to steer your kids away from trouble and toward positive influences.4. After a BreakupEven if your kids are too young to be in a romantic relationship, they'll still feel the pain of broken friendships. It could leave your child feeling lonely or abandoned. Those feelings only intensify if a dating relationship is the one that dissolves. Your kids' relationships are serious to them, even if they don't feel serious to you. Don't risk pushing them away by minimizing their emotions.Bottom line: Your children need to know that they matter enough to you for you to stop and tend to their needs. Pro Move: Look for opportunities to stop and tend to your kids' needs, because not prioritizing them properly can be harmful.Send us a Text Message.EXTRAS: Follow us: Instagram | Facebook | X (Twitter)Join nearly 200,000 other dads by subscribing to the All Pro Dad Play of the Day.

We make mistakes all the time as parents. It never feels good, especially when feels have been hurt! We can beat ourselves up as dads worrying if we are messing up our kids, even if our intentions are pure. Sometimes, we mess up without even realizing it. How does that impact our children? Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, and Jason Hood share some of their failings as dads and ways to avoid them in this episode.  We want men to avoid becoming someone who, through his words and actions, continually stunts his child's potential to grow and thrive. We hope you're doing a great job, but even the most well-meaning dads can have blind spots. Are you any of these kinds of dads? 1.    Absent Dad2.    Abusive Dad3.    Demanding Dad4.    Disneyland Dad5.    Distracted Dad6.    Hypocritical Dad7.    Macho Dad8.    Passive Dad Maybe one of those stung. Maybe more than one really resonated with you. While it may hurt, consider it a powerful revelation. Knowing the type of dad you don't want to be, helps you to be the type of dad you do. To be our best, we have to examine our behavior and make any necessary changes. If you're not sure if you are any of these types of dads, ask your kids what they think.    Today's Pro Move: Do one small thing this week to redirect yourself away from whichever “dad” you are becoming from this list.   Other resources: 8 Kinds of Dads Who are Damaging Their KidsDo You Have Resilient Children?

As guys, we tend to be critical of ourselves from time to time. Introspection is a good thing, but getting too down on yourself can cause issues for you as a dad. Ted Lowe, Jason Hood, Buck Buchanan, and BJ Foster teach dads how to fight back against their inner critic by showing men how to “name your Fred.”Pick a name for the voice inside your head. You know the voice. The one that tells you you're not good enough. The one who says that you're a failure. The voice can be loud and aggressive, but you can overcome it. Dads have to talk back to that critical voice of negativity. Thinking better about yourself helps you be a better dad. Here are 4 steps to help you put Fred in his place. Step 1: Name your Fred. Step 2: Write Fred's messages to you.  Step 3: Categorize Fred's messages to you. Step 4: Talk back to yourself?  Today's Pro Move: Name your Fred. By giving him a name, it separates him from you so you can see things more clearly.

 If stung by a jellyfish, you can neutralize the pain by urinating on it. Not true.Humans lose most of their body heat through their heads. Not true. There are plenty of lies out there that we believe. Which ones plague us as dads?Ted Lowe, BJ Foster, Jason Hood, and Buck Buchanan tell the truth about how often we fall captive to lies. You are well-made, no matter what people say. You are loved unconditionally by God, who created you. These truths can become clouded by the lies of the world. So often, men get lost in lies in an attempt to succeed, conquer, and impress others.

In this episode, Roy and Phil have a discussion with Jason Hood of Snakes Unlimited! Jason needs little introduction to those who have paid attention within herpetoculture for the past many years. He's been a major contributor to the discipline for decades now, helping to establish several species within the US, including blackheaded pythons, neotropical bird snakes, tiger rat snakes, and Amazon puffing snakes. He's also got a wealth of knowledge that applies well beyond those species, and some very strong standards for the quality of animals he produces and the consistency with which he produces them. This episode is full of rich and nuanced conversation with one of herpetoculture's finest. Have a listen! And please like, subscribe, and share this episode, if you feel so inclined.

Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, hard rock outfit Lockjaw have returned to the scene breathing metal, with the intent to pick up from where they left off with a prolonged hiatus and then some.With a new vocalist in tow and a swag of new music, starting with latest single Silence The Fear, Lockjaw are already plotting their next assault on the music scene, but first guitarist and founding member Jeff Ogle caught up with HEAVY for a chat about the new single and what has been happening of late with the band."When I wrote the song was during COVID," he started. "I wrote about 16 songs during COVID and lockdown here in Texas, and when I was writing it I had a lot of inspiration from Fear Factory and also a little bit of Megadeath in there. I'm old school. I'm a James Hetfield down picking kind of guy, so I just wanted to feel some old school vibes, something I love. The stuff that made me want to pick up a guitar and play, so not worrying about the trends of what's going on in music or metal today. I just wanna play what I love. That's where it started. Honestly, it came from a very pure, healthy place for me. I wrote the whole, entire song and sent it to my producer, and he helped me lay it out a little bit better. Our producer is Chris Collier, he's currently producing Korn, he's done Prong, and he's working with Jason Hood, formerly of Five Finger Death Punch so he has an incredible ear and really helped me pull the song together."In the full interview, Jeff talks about Silence The Fear in greater detail, the different genres within Lockjaw's music and how they make them work, choosing this song to relaunch the band's career and why, future songs and how Lockjaw plans to release them, their six-year hiatus at the height of their career to date and why they took it, coming back into the metal scene and more.

In this episode I speak with Jason Hood, Founder of BourkeHood and his colleague Eva Dobrzabska, Head of Operations about research and development grants and how COVID-19 has sparked a wave of innovation across the globe.While the global economy has been hit with this pandemic, governments around the world are finding ways to support and encourage growth through tax incentives and government grants.Tune in to find out:• What exactly are Research and Development Grants,• Which industries can claim these incentives,• How Research and Development Incentives work and who can access them,• How Research and Development Schemes apply in the context of international expansion,• The preparation you can do to make sure that your business is eligible for a Research and Development Grant in the future.Both Jason and Eva have a wealth of knowledge, and they highlight that although most business owners think these incentives are only available in the Tech and Science space, this is a common misconception.If taking your business to the next level is dependent on some form of research or development, then this episode is for you.Please enjoy!
