    How To Affirm Your Child [S01E11]

    What’s good Fathers! Do you believe in life defining moments? Those times where you knew it was a pivotal turning point in who you were to become. We all have them. Marriage. Career transition. Having children. Yet, it doesn’t stop there. I learned this truth all too well with Kyndall, my soon to be 8-year old. She is constantly stretching me as a father whether she knows it or not (I think she does). One area that is extremely important for her is receiving affirmations; knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I value her. One problem. I haven’t always been great at it. Until…I learned a valuable lesson. In this episode, we share a 5-part process in which you can affirm your child. Fathers, your child needs to hear from you. You have a great opportunity to give them a beacon of light and focus, as they journey through the challenges of life. Positive affirmations offer blessings, hope, and a future. They feel empowered and you experience parenting at a new level. Sounds like a Win-Win to me. Enjoy! Open Table Discussion The biggest kick I get out doing these podcasts is hearing from you. Each week I ask one question. Here's this weeks: What approach do you take to affirm your children? Sirloin Tips From This Episode: •How to capture defining moments with your children •The potential negative effects of not affirming your children •A 5 - part process in which to affirm your children for long lasting impact •Become a person that has strong visualization skills to grow personally •And much more… Discover Additional Resources In this episode we mentioned the following resources: •You Have What It Takes by John Eldredge – His aim is to give Father’s the courage, confidence and conviction to connect with their sons or daughters. You can read my review of this book here. •The New One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson – This book offers an amazing strategy (written in story form) on how to approach managing others effectively.

  2. How To Achieve Excellence For Your Children [S01E09]

    How To Achieve Excellence For Your Children [S01E09]

    What’s good y’all! Achieving excellence is no short task. It requires discipline, grit, and an unyielding drive to impact in a significant way. One of my favorite persons that displays this type of character is Tony Dungy. He’s a man that always puts his principles into practice no matter if it's at home, on the football field, or as an NFL commentator. The excellence he and so many other fathers achieve though does not happen overnight. There is no magic solution. It simply means showing up putting your best effort on a daily basis. Another father that I know personally who shares this same attitude is Mick Scott. On this episode, Mick and I discussed how key it is for a father to take on the responsibility of being there for his children. Mick has two awesome boys (Henry and Ben) and he wants to ensure they develop into responsible men, who deeply care about how they impact the world around them. Fathers, never underestimate the power of your presence. Mick and I both believe you have it in you to take your fatherhood to a whole new level. When your children see that you’re willing to reach new heights, they will stretch with you. How great is that! Enjoy! Question To Consider What area of your life do you need to take more responsibility, believing it will make a significant difference in your relationship with your child or children? Sirloin Tips from this episode: Value to take a stand (5:00) The difference having a kid makes on a father (6:40) Two main challenges as a father (8:20) Why being responsible for yourself is critical (13:12) One teacher’s perspective of his classroom (20:32) Why we need others (31:33) And much more… SUBSCRIBE to the Podcast If you have enjoyed this podcast please subscribe on Spreaker.

    Fathermore with Dee Black [S1E1]

    I get it. Being a father is an amazing responsibility. Still, it’s tough. You don’t always get it right. You miss things. You say the wrong words. But that’s okay. You’re not alone. I couldn’t think of a better person to kick off The Fathermore Podcast than with my brother, Dee Black. Dee Black is CEO and founder of HISstory Music Group. He minces no words about it. He loves Christ. He loves his family. He loves to rap. When you put all that together, you get something truly epic. I met Dee a few years ago and it was great to catch up with him right after he moved to Florida for this interview. Dee is one the most genuine and thoughtful men I know but, even he will tell you…that didn’t happen overnight. He didn’t always get it right. That’s why he’s here to share how you can get through and Fathermore. In This Episode, You Will Discover: Key life lessons at a young age (4:28) The damage of being the “man” of the house at an early age (8:08) What fathers have the most trouble saying to their children (16:40) The one place you can go to learn core fatherhood principles, even if you’re not a Christian (23:59) The importance of being “future” minded (25:37) How I put my mom on BLAST (30:13) How you can truly define love in any relationship (36:34) Where a father should put his emphasis first (39:20) Plus much more… Also, special shout out to Dee for allowing me to use his song, “Fatherless” as my intro and outro for The Fathermore Podcast.
