    Intentional Fatherhood With Nick Stromwall

    In this solo episode of the On The Rise Podcast's Faith-Driven Leaders Series, host Nick Stromwall gets personal about fatherhood. Nick shares a vulnerable realization — that his kids were getting his leftovers at the end of the day, not his best. Inspired by John Tyson's book The Intentional Father, he and a small group of dads built a framework for raising their sons with intention — culminating in one of the most memorable days of his life. He also shares three practical shifts that have changed the way he fathers, and makes a compelling case that the systems and intentionality we bring to work need to show up at home just as much. A challenging, honest, and encouraging episode for any parent who loves their kids but suspects they could be more present.   Book Referenced: The Intentional Father by Jon Tyson Scripture Referenced: Proverbs 22 — "Train up a child in the way he should go" Psalm 78 — "We will not hide these things from our children" Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the Lord with all your heart"   00:00 Introduction — Intentional Fatherhood 01:00 The Question That Wrecked Nick 01:30 My Kids Were Getting My Leftovers 02:15 The Intentional Father by Jon Tyson 02:52 Starting a Thursday Morning Dad Book Club 03:30 The Day That Marked Something — The Rite of Passage 05:30 Why Witnesses Matter in a Boy's Transition to Manhood 06:00 We Are Intentional at Work But We Wing It at Home 06:30 Shift One — Design Your Home Culture on Purpose 07:21 Shift Two — Be Present, Not Just Available 07:40 The 60-Second Driveway Transition Ritual 08:00 Shift Three — Plan for Your Kids Like You Plan for Work 08:30 Each Child Needs Something Different From You 09:00 You Cannot Give What You Do Not Have 09:30 The Challenge — Find Your People and Start a Book Club 10:30 Closing Prayer and Final Challenge

    Bitcoin, Inflation, and the Case for Sound Money With Eric Runge

    In this episode of the On The Rise Podcast, host Jeremy Dyer sits down with Eric Runge, a registered investment advisor with 20 years of experience who now specializes in helping family offices integrate Bitcoin into their long-term wealth preservation strategies. Eric breaks down why inflation is far more destructive than most people realize, how government money printing silently transfers wealth from everyday citizens to those closest to the newly created money, and why Bitcoin's stateless, fixed-supply design may represent the most significant monetary innovation since the gold standard. He also addresses the most common objections head-on — from Bitcoin's volatility and intangibility to the fear of government bans and its association with criminal activity. A thought-provoking and genuinely eye-opening episode for any investor curious about the future of money. 0:00 Introduction 00:52 Eric Runge's Background — From Retail Advisory to Family Offices 02:21 How Bitcoin Changed Eric's Understanding of Money 04:47 Why Family Offices Are the Right Fit for Bitcoin 05:48 Inflation as the Silent Killer of Purchasing Power 07:52 Why CPI Understates the Real Rate of Monetary Inflation 09:04 M2 Money Supply and the S&P 500 — The Hidden Correlation 11:51 Money Printing Is Legal Counterfeiting — The Cantillion Effect 14:30 Addressing Critics — Is Bitcoin Actually Tangible? 16:13 Nixon, the Gold Standard, and Why 1971 Changed Everything 17:06 How Bitcoin's Statelessness Breaks the Cycle of Broken Money 19:34 What Happened in 1971 — The Cultural and Economic Fallout 21:00 The Government Ban Question — And Why It Is Fading 22:29 Is It Too Late to Buy Bitcoin? 25:10 Bitcoin as a Store of Value in an Ever-Growing World 27:47 Dispelling the Criminal Currency Myth 29:24 How to Connect With Eric Runge

    Designing Your Life Backwards With Nick Stromwall

    In this solo episode of the On The Rise Podcast's Faith-Driven Leaders Series, host Nick Stromwall shares a framework that changed the way he approaches his life, his marriage, his parenting, and his business. Inspired by Michael Hyatt's book Living Forward, Nick walks through the practice of designing your life backwards — starting with the end in mind, writing your own eulogy, and then building specific, scheduled commitments that close the gap between the life you are currently living and the life you actually want. He grounds the practice in Scripture and offers a clear, practical starting point for any leader who is productive but drifting. A concise and deeply personal episode that is worth sharing with anyone who is building a successful life but starting to wonder what it is all for.
