Have you ever asked yourself: When was the last time I stepped outside my comfort zone? How do I make sure I'm intentionally setting a positive example for my kids? Am I encouraging my children to take extra steps? In an era dominated by online interactions and instant applications, it's easy to think that old-fashioned manners and direct communication have become obsolete. But as this episode of The Dad Edge reveals, those little “extra” steps are exactly what set people apart—in job interviews, difficult situations, and life in general Today, Ethan Hagner recounts his journey to land a summer job—not just sending in online applications, but suiting up, showing up in person, introducing himself, and even dropping off a thank-you note after a surprise interview.  As Larry points out, these simple, direct actions are the "gold" from previous generations—habits that build character and open doors Ethan Hagner also teases out how small acts of empathy and presence, learned in everyday family life, are already preparing him for bigger moments—like shadowing firefighters and helping his injured dad. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, remaining calm under pressure, and showing up wholeheartedly—in family crises, career moments, and daily interactions. As Larry puts it, “Control the controllables”—focus on what you can do, and do it with intention. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital episode, we dig into: Old-School Gold for the Next Generation: Larry reflects on the lost art of face-to-face interactions, handshakes, and eye contact, and how these “little” things are game-changers in both personal and professional life. Ethan chimes in with stories from his own journey, showing just how powerful simple, intentional actions can be. Handling Life's Dark and Difficult Moments: Ethan opens up about shadowing at the local fire department and preparing to face tough situations as a future firefighter. With honest talk about nervousness and empathy, the guys highlight how staying calm, focused, and supportive in chaos is a true superpower. Larry recounts a recent accident and how Ethan's steady approach driving him to the hospital—in the middle of nowhere, no cell signal, potholes galore—proved his grit and composure. Bringing Back Legendary Manners: There's a clear call to action here: Dads, let's teach (and model) the old-school habits that make a difference—shaking hands, making eye contact, showing up, following through, and, yes, even thank you notes. These are the moves that open doors and build relationships for life. This episode offers powerful stories, practical advice, and the reminder to always lead by example. Get ready for insights and encouragement to help you create the legacy you want for your family. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind www.1stphorm.com/products/1st-phorm-energy

Welcome back to the podcast, men! In the last episode, we wrapped up our fathers and daughters series!

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --Fathers and Sons: Imparting Wisdom, Work Ethic, and ResilienceWelcome back to the podcast, men! We've just wrapped up our series on Fathers and Daughters, and today we're kicking off a brand-new conversation: Fathers and Sons.While many of the same parenting principles apply to both sons and daughters, Scripture teaches that God created men and women with unique roles and responsibilities. That means our parenting approach toward sons should reflect those God-given distinctions.Whether your sons are still at home or fully grown, this conversation is for you. If you're a grandfather, these principles still apply as you influence your grandsons or encourage your adult sons in their own fatherhood journey.Impart Wisdom IntentionallyOne of the most important roles a father plays is helping his son pursue wisdom and pursue God. It's not enough to simply model wisdom; we need to have direct, intentional conversations about it.Proverbs 3:1-6 (NLT)"My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart... Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—understood the importance of passing wisdom to the next generation. As dads, that's our responsibility too.Whether you're naturally talkative or more reserved, God calls every father to teach. This doesn't mean you need to be a Bible scholar or a polished speaker. Just be intentional.Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (NLT)"Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up."Practical ways to do this include reading the Bible together, listening to Bible-based podcasts, or using tools like the resources at pursueGOD.org.Proverbs 3:13-15 (NLT)"Joyful is the person who finds wisdom... Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her."A wise son will experience more joy and fewer regrets—whether it's about money, relationships, or making wise life choices.Teach Them to WorkFathers must teach their sons the value of hard work. Work is not a punishment—it's part of God's design for men.Genesis 2:15 (NLT)"The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it."Before sin entered the world, God gave Adam meaningful work. This shows that work is not a result of the fall—it's a fundamental part of being a man.Unfortunately, in today's culture, too many men are disengaged from the workforce. In August 2024, 6.8 million American men between ages 25 and 54 were neither working nor looking for work.As fathers, it's our job to push back...

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Sam May, a seasoned Loan Officer from All Western Mortgage. Sam and I talk about something that doesn't always get enough attention in our industry—vulnerability—and how being real and open can actually strengthen business relationships and team culture. He shares his journey through the ups and downs of the mortgage world and the lessons he's learned along the way, especially when it comes to hiring the right people and creating a strong, supportive team.We also dive into how important it is to truly understand your clients and create an experience that makes them feel seen and supported. Sam talks about the software he developed, called HOMPWR, and how it's helping to improve the mortgage process in a really smart and innovative way. We touch on the role AI could play in the future of the industry, the struggle so many of us face with perfectionism, and why community and collaboration matter more than ever.

Join us on Beyond the Rodeo as Kaycie sits down with Todd Bowman, a former bullfighter turned master silverworker, to unpack Todd's transition from the adrenaline-fueled world of bull fighting to the artistry of custom bits and spurs. Listen in as he recounts his early start in bullfighting, his ascent through the ranks, and the life-changing skydiving accident in 1998 that put a halt to his rodeo career.

Finally, we explore life beyond rodeo and Todd's journey of transitioning to a new career. Todd shares his story of moving into the trucking industry before reigniting his passion for reining horses and discovering a talent for silverwork. We also discuss Todd's experience judging the 2025 Miss Texas Rodeo pageant, reflecting on the dedication and eloquence of young contestants. This episode is a testament to resilience, adaptation, and the power of planning for life's unexpected changes, highlighting the importance of embracing new paths with passion and drive.

Alot of people today are worried about how divided the United States seems. But what if that very division—when balanced and not extreme—is actually part of what makes us successful? After all, diversity implies a range of differences, and in many ways, ‘division' and ‘diversity' share the same roots: being distinct, varied, not all the same. The real danger isn't in being different—it's in becoming so polarized that we stop listening to each other. Diversity can make us stronger. Polarization, on the other hand, pulls us apart.In this episode of The Collective Perspective, hosts Jeff and Travis dive into the emotional, cultural, and spiritual cost of division in modern America. This isn't just about politics—this is about fractured families, broken churches, community distrust, and a deep erosion of collective hope.Most importantly, we offer a vision of how to break the cycle—through humility, curiosity, shared experiences, and honest conversations. From veterans working with young activists to faith-based efforts bridging gaps, this episode highlights how ordinary people can take small steps that make a big difference.Because unity doesn't get handed down. We build it, one story at a time.#FracturedNotBroken #TheCollectivePerspective #DiversityNotDivision #EndPolarization #BridgeTheGap #RealConversations #FaithAndCulture #UnitedInDifference #ListenToUnderstand #StrongerTogether Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction: What Makes America Stronger(00:00:26) - Welcome Back: Meet the Hosts(00:00:35) - The Roots of Division(00:04:55) - Generational Gaps and Work Ethic(00:07:23) - Economic and Socioeconomic Divisions(00:10:02) - Cultural and Racial Divisions(00:12:44) - The Emotional Toll of Division(00:20:43) - Breaking the Pattern: Finding Unity(00:25:03) - Conclusion: Join Us Next Time

In part two of their conversation, Mark and Anton continue their wide-ranging conversation on personal and professional growth. They discuss raising capital, private equity, real estate trends, and the power of simplicity in business. The episode touches on mental health, the influence of tech leaders, political and economic shifts, and the role of authenticity, mentorship, and self-awareness in building a meaningful life. Takeaways Mitigate downsides when pursuing personal growth. Innovative learning can be achieved through seminar formats. Wealth creation is often overlooked in traditional education.

Welcome to episode #985 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Kathleen deLaski is one of the most important voices rethinking the purpose, structure, and future of higher education. As founder of the Education Design Lab and board chair of Credential Engine, she's spent the last decade helping over 1,200 colleges, organizations, and regional economies reimagine learning pathways for next-generation students - particularly the new majority learners often left behind by traditional institutions. Her new book, Who Needs College Anymore? is a provocative and optimistic look at how postsecondary education must evolve, drawing on over a decade of field research, human-centered design, and more than 150 interviews with educators, employers, learners, and policymakers. In this conversation, we unpack the diploma divide, the rising cost of education, the friction between what college teaches and what employers expect, and how AI is rewriting the script for entry-level jobs and professional training. Kathleen - whose career spans time as a journalist at ABC News, a Pentagon spokesperson, working at AOL in the early days of the Internet, and a philanthropic force behind education reform - brings not just perspective but practical ideas on how colleges, businesses, and society must adapt. This one challenges what we think college is for, and what meaningful learning might look like in a skills-based future. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 51:11. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Join us for an unflinchingly honest conversation with Peter Rahal, founder of RXBAR (sold to Kellogg's for $600M) and David Protein. Once labeled "disabled" by the school system, Peter reveals how his dyslexia fueled his contrarian mindset, relentless hustle, and ability to spot market gaps others missed. Learn how childhood humiliation became his rocket fuel, why he refuses to celebrate wins, and how his "anti-authority" approach built two category-defining brands. This episode is for entrepreneurs, neurodivergent thinkers, and anyone who's been told they don't fit the mold. Key Takeaways and Topics: Peter Rahal's background in the food industry and how this influenced his entrepreneurial journey. The idea for RX Bar emerged from a gap in the market for paleo-friendly protein bars. Early partnerships can significantly impact the success of a startup. Scaling production requires understanding supply chains and manufacturing processes. Product market fit is crucial for the success of any consumer product. Rebranding helped RX Bar reach a broader audience and clarify the product's value proposition. Rahal's childhood experiences shaped his resilience and contrarian nature. The importance of teamwork and aligned values in partnerships cannot be overstated. His success in business came from organic growth and word-of-mouth marketing. Be very, very efficient with your time. Seek criticism, seek feedback. The positive feedback loop of being doing something you're good at is motivating. Your 20s are the time to go all in and take risks. The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.
