This is a very special episode for me, for We RAD DADS and hopefully for you as well. This week I talk with my Son’s mom, Cori Richter. It may sound odd to most of you however I am exceedingly pleased to finally have Cori on the show this week. This interview was one of the first I had envisioned when starting the We RAD DADS podcast and I knew if it were to ever happen, we would have come much farther than I ever thought possible. Join us as we talk about our own backstory and thus the origins of We RAD DADS. There’s some pretty amazing truth spoken here and even to me- it’s clear that our journey is nothing short of an incredible series of challenges which were sometimes mishandled. Luckily for us, we each had the foresight, humility, faith and eventual forgiveness to arrive as who and where we are today. This is the ONLY way we share such an amazing co-parenting experience with our entire family. Hear both sides of the story that even I didn't have the full story on. Learn about the good times, the bad times and all the hope, trust and eventual triumph of our family- so far. Join us for the beginnings, the breaking point and then the turning point into becoming such an awesome family- If I do say so myself. I have a feeling that the good times are just beginning and I want the same for each and every single one of you as well. So listen up and get to know OUR story as well as; hopefully, a turning point of your own. Support the show! audibletrial.com/weraddads Amazon affiliate LINK!

This is a featured episode. These featured episodes are my "Best of 2016" not because they got the most downloads but, because they have an inherent worth that I think may have gone unnoticed in the infancy of the We RAD DADS podcast. As you may know I'm on Hiatus right now but I wasn't going to leave you high and dry while I regroup and work on other elements of WRD. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere but it's important to know your limits and if you haven't heard episode 52 yet it's a perfect explanation as to why I deduced to take a little break.

I’m ecstatic to have Rob Youngblood as my guest this week on the We RAD DADS podcast. Rob is currently a speaker & reality coach. He is a veteran television producer, former network news anchor & Emmy award winning SAG actor with scores of shows under his belt like MacGyver, Walker Texas Ranger, Dallas, SeaQuest, & JAG to name a few. CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes Rob is truly my kind of person and we absolutely hit it off. One of the best things about Rob is that he puts being a dad at the forefront of his life and continues to help others do the same. He perfectly exemplifies what a RAD DAD should be; starting with winning custody of his then 14-month-old son. As a reality (life) coach, Rob started with a focus on communication. The results achieved are a direct result of a straightforward approach that will kick you into gear. Unlike many other types of professionals he jokingly states, “I get stuff done!” Along those lines, he has started #ownyourstory inspiring and encouraging his clients to take a long hard look in the mirror and taking accountability. Rob encourages you to fix you first. From the rubble of a destroyed life, untimely death of family, divorce and custody battle, Rob took a hard look in the mirror and decided rightly to fix the one problem in his life - himself.

Through incredible struggle, odds and with absolute grit he is truly a champion for change and the face of what is possible for ANY dad to become.

Phil went from having zero time with his daughter to having her full-time- and he went about it WITHOUT the court systems. I’m truly humbled by Phil as he breaks down the amazing circumstances he faced and how far he has come. Truly, Phil is a RAD DAD! Reward yourself with the wisdom he constantly drops throughout this episode and see him for the stellar guy he truly is. As if that weren't enough, he went on to create the Daddy Daughter Hair Factory inspiring fathers to challenge themselves by stepping out of their comfort zones- just as Phil himself has done in his pursuit of being a professional dad.

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes What or What? In all honesty, I would hope I have made you ask yourself this question. (preferably out loud. I KNOW I'm not the only one doing this!... I digress) I guess you'll have to just listen to exactly what Huck is. But I will tease that the foundations; or building blocks, of Huck are the very same things we all struggle with while getting back up after becoming a single parent. Actually, they are the very things EVERYONE struggles with in some way shape or form. Personally, I find value in identifying, labeling and making a point of noticing the foundations for our actions (or inactions). I suppose the inverse; or alternative, Punt is a well-known term. Punt entails a strategic maneuver wherein one realizes that the likelihood of continuing along the same path will probably end in a larger defeat than simply turning over the ball. It should be noted that "the game" NEVER ends with a punt. Frequently, a team who punts has just a good of a chance at winning as the team which does not. Frankly, it's insignificant in the long run as it is simply just a strategy to accomplish the end goal. I'm pretty sure teams do not ever plan to Punt before a game. However, Punt formation is something which is practiced until perfection JUST IN CASE they need to utilize it. In both strategies; Huck and Punt, there is inherent risk and reward. Although I'd like to Huck my way through life I can't always do so because it's very risky even though the rewards could be great- it may also result in complete disaster. Conversely, I can't continue to Punt my way through either because I'd avoid any hard decisions and there is little reward in it. it is with a heavy heart that I discontinue the regular occurrence of my Thursday micro-sodes. Although I do not intend to quit, I am forced to Punt for the moment. I will still release micro-sodes and bonus episodes as warranted however they will be intermittent and not on a regularly recurring cycle. Full-length episodes will still be released every Monday morning so the backbone of We RAD DADS podcast will remain intact. I vow to continue to bring resources to all non-traditional parents out there who have come to rely on We RAD DADS podcast. Thank you for your continued support and understanding!

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes Please welcome Hogan Hilling to the We RAD DADS podcast! Hogan has seen some hard times and weathered many storms as a dad. One might think this would have made him gruff, harsh and negative however Hogan has used his experiences to enlighten others on how dads can be extremely valuable parental figures. He has personally challenged the common paradigm that dads can't parent. Not only has Hogan been a stay-at home dad care taking his three children, one of which a child with special needs; he has endured a bitter and insulting divorce that left him at the mercy of the judicial system slanted toward one particular gender. Through all of this Hogan has remained calm and collected, consistently putting first what matters most. Hogan is the creator of the Dadly Rally and is a champion for dad's equality in parenting. True to his character, Hogan does not discriminate against any parent due to gender and welcomes involved women parents into the Dadly cause as well. He is a true example for each of us to follow! Listen to our conversation as we discuss Hogan's winding path through life involving rediscovering his own dad as an adult and what he learned when they connected. This point alone shaped my perception of what it is to be an absent father... Sometimes the opportunity to be dad is taken away unjustly.

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes Not only does We RAD DADS have our first female guest, but she is also our first professional guest as well. We have for you this week none other than THE Dr. Laura Markham. Join Dr. Markham and myself as we discuss her upbringings and how her blended family dynamics shaped her into one of the leading experts in Clinical Psychology. Her relatable story and early experiences are directly applicable to any single parent situation. I was surprised to learn that the role model behind her successful principles is entirely attributed to her very own RAD DAD. Without her father's compassion which; in her words: "saved my life", she would not have discovered her full potential. Listen as Dr. Markham describes how her father was the one who showed her what loving guidance was all about. Dads, you CAN and DO make a difference! It was a true pleasure to speak with her. I can't say enough about my conversation with Dr. Markham and all the incredible nuggets she shares. On top of this, listen as we discuss one of her books and the powerful tools and tactics it details. I was very surprised to find extreme value in her book, Peaceful parent, happy kids. I HIGHLY recommend this book for ALL parents, especially RAD DADS. This would be an EXCELLENT FREE book from audible.com. When you click the link you get a FREE book AND a FREE 30 day trial of audible.com. What are you waiting for? Who is Dr. Markham you ask?

But she's also a mom, so she translates proven science into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want.

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes "The only constant in life is change" What does a Greek philosopher, a Renaissance Physicist and a 19th Century German philosopher have in common? You're about to find out in today's Micro-sode. [picture: The Legacy and Wisdom of Heraclitus (and friends)] Heraclitus draws together many of the principles I discuss here on We RAD DADS. I had always heard the above mentioned quote but didn't know where it's origin truly was. Come to find out, It was from a Greek philosopher I had not heard of named Heraclitus. "The Riddler" The more I dug into Heraclitus and his work, the more interested I became. I was shocked to learn that he was much more than a one hit wonder (with regard to quotes). Heraclitus, was known for shrouding his theories in obscurity. Due to this he was known as "The riddler", "The dark" or "The obscure". This was an intentional choice because Heraclitus wanted people to put in the work in order to get any benefit. He understood the proposition of value in that; anything worth having is worth working for. I completely agree with that notion, I hope you do as well. Heraclitus saw that most people are just "ignorant conformists". Going along with the crowd in order to not stick out It's much easier to just follow along with the crowd, much like a flock of sheep. "War is the father of all" The Flux Doctrine: The flux doctrine consists of three parts. The first of which is: "Everything is in flux". Heraclitus reasoned (accurately) that everything is constantly changing. And even the most resilient object is being changed from one moment to the next. Second to this doctrine is: "A man's soul is fire- hot and dry". I know we have all experienced this. When you are consumed by a passion whatever it may be you literally feel hot from within. When you are in the zone one can say that you are "on fire". I'm sure you see what I'm getting at here. Conversely, Heraclitus reasoned that: "A wet soul is worst". Comparing a wet soul to a drunken man who stumbles about. This is an interesting theory and a concept that I think I must mention at this point. The topic of alcohol consumption as a coping mechanism often comes up when talking to guests. Please ensure that you utilize due judgement when consuming anything during times of severe emotional stress. Third and finally Heraclitus reasoned that "war is the father of all". The context of "war" is that of two opposing forces or ideas. This idea is further developed by Renaissance physicist Sir Issac Newton's 3rd law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Heraclitus utilized a strung bow to illustrate this point. The string and the bow are only useful together. When assembled, they appear at rest and stationary however we know the forces and resistance are present. These forces are not visible however they produce a yin-yang effect, where one relies upon the other in order to be complete. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche recognized the importance of Heraclitus' reasoning. The German philosopher understood that a great individual is constantly in conflict between the "good" and "bad" attributes within. He went on to reason that peace is only developed by the balancing of these forces NOT the removal of the "bad". We got a little deep this week and I hope I haven't lost you. I wanted to bend your mind a little and keep you sharp. Sometimes it pays dividends to pontificate life's great questions. Please let me know how you feel about this episode. Was it too deep or confusing? or do you like a challenge. If I were a betting man, I'd say the latter. CLICK HERE to leave a Rating & Review on iTunes Reach out and connect, Join our Facebook Group!

We Rad Dads is a blazing hot new podcast created from the heart and soul of Walter Eggers. As you will hear in our interview with our new friend, mountains of obstacles easily could have prevented him from ever creating his show. But that's just not Walter's way folks. Walter Eggers is a single father and former hot shot wild land firefighter. (So you know that he and Eddie Aguilar immediately hit it off with that mutual brotherhood.) Life in the past few years definitely knocked Walter down and almost out more than once. But he knew… just knew… there was something else he was here to create for others. And most importantly, something he had to create for his son. For as you will hear today, Walter's focus is always first and foremost on being THE BEST father to his boy. And that creation ultimately became his We Rad Dads podcast, which is currently ranking within top 10 of new and noteworthy on iTunes in his category! Eddie and I wanted to bring him on right away to share his white hot story of inspiration to push his show to the #1 spot!
