Our next guest, Rodrigo Alcaine, is the Sr Vice President of Global Sales Operations at Beeline.  I had the opportunity to meet Rodrigo earlier this year when speaking at Beeline's SKO.  Immediately, Rodrigo and I connected, and I knew he was someone I wanted to interview!    He is a transformative Executive Leader in the staffing and workforce management industry with more than ten years of experience developing and leading teams across North America.  Rodrigo is a passionate believer in people and his local communities, advancing the human experience through technology, and forever a student. 

Today, we talked to Rodrigo, the dad.  We learn about his upbringing in Germany, his speaking Spanish as his 1st language, and his adapting to life in the United States.   Rodrigo shares that more is "caught than taught."  Love this!  So often, our kids are watching us when we don't even realize it.    He shares the challenges of his parents going through a divorce when he was younger.   Rodrigo was blessed to have many mentors in his life, which he will share in this episode.   Rodrigo and his family are very active in their church and faith is very important to them.

He ends this episode talking about how we can be present in small amounts, why being consistent is so vital, and lastly, make sure we as dads realize how we are showing up.

Our next guest, Quarterback Coach Chris Hixson,  has a passion for the QB position that has driven him to become the leading expert in Quarterback Mentals and Bio Mechanics. Chris is the owner and lead coach for “Trent Dilfer’s QBIQ,” and he has over 35 plus years of football experience at the Quarterback position. Chris is an absolute expert on being a technician of fundamentals, throwing technique, footwork, and teaching the game of football to anyone on any level!

Today, we talked to Chris, the Dad, and learned about his wife and three children.  We learn about the upbringing that has provided him with many tools to become the ultimate leader of his household.  Chris is a servant leader with a huge heart!    He is very particular about walking and doing the little things consistently.  Never, ever...waste a useful rep, he shares.   Chris shared that when he is home, being present is always top of mind for him, and he has individual time with each child.

One of my favorite quotes that Chris shares is, "Being average is free." He follows this quote with another gem, "To become elite requires you to do things others aren't willing to do."

Lastly, no matter if you're having a "good" day or a "bad" day, we can choose our mindset if we are present.  Challenge yourself to make a positive choice to bring a positive vibe to your huddle and inspire your family to be their best.

Our next guest, Rick McSorley, comes to us from a former QB DadCast guest, Alex Hein.   Rick is a father of two, a husband, a current sales rep at SalesForce Industries, and a former athlete at Richmond.  Both of Rick's children are very successful as his daughter is in law and his son, Trace is a current Quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.  Trace was also a standout at Penn State University

As you will hear, Rick grew up with in Staten Island and then moved to Florida .   Rick's mom was his hero, and has memories of his father before he tragically took his own life.  #Loyality, #Discipline, and #Family are all key facets of his family and his parenting style.   Rick shares the journey of NCAA recruiting for his son, and also discusses some of ups and downs.  One of my favorite stories in this episode is when Rick's daughter was there to support Trace after a tough loss against the University of Pittsburgh. 

We talked in depth about being a great teammate, the impacts of the transfer portal, and why staying neutral is so important.  This is one of the key skills we teach at Limitless Minds! One additional thing that I loved about this episode was how Rick and his wife always instilled positivity in their kids.  He says to always keep their kids tank full!  He would always say, Why not you....Why not now?  So good!

Our next guest, Collin Williams, is a father, husband, and entrepreneur.  He is the Founder/Chairman of a venture-backed company called New Era ADR.  I was graciously introduced to Collin by a client & friend, Leslie Vickrey, who happens to be Collin's wife!  We also must send some love to Nathan Gerbe, who was mentioned during this episode and was a former guest on The Quarterback DadCast.

Collin was raised in the suburbs of Chicago in a city called Lake Forrest.  His parents moved their family to this area so that Collin and his brother would have access to better education, which paid off, given Collin is a lawyer and his brother is a doctor!    Collin shares excellent detail about the impact his parents had on him now as a father.  He shared a story about his mom, a stay-at-home mom who then decided to go back to school when they were older!  This story spoke to me as you've heard me share how my wife, Carrie, went back to work and loves her job!

What stands out to me about this episode is Collin's vulnerability, humility, and how he attacks the areas of his life he wants to get better at.  So inspiring!   He shares that we as dads must always have an open mind, evolve, listen to others, and seek help!  As you will hear, he shares a powerful story towards the end of this episode on a gap that he attacked to be the best version of himself.  Collin is someone who has found immense value in therapy, and he says it has changed his life for the better.

Our next guest, Greg Manley, is the Director at the Kingdom for TaylorMade Golf, where they continue to be one of the world's top providers of golf equipment.  I met Greg through the fantastic Meridian Valley Country Club, where he was the General Manager and Head Golf Professional for nearly 25 years!

However, today we talked to Greg, the dad.  We explore the challenges of moving your family from one state to another.  We explored the challenges of helping our kids face adversity and remembering not to burn our kids out!  He shared great advice on helping them find the spark for what THEY want to do, not what we as parents want them to do.  We learned about his brother, who is in iTunes, growing up in Puyallup, and the differences in his parents that shaped Greg today.   

Greg reminded me and all of us that when things get tough, don't panic!  We need to remain calm and always be grateful for things in our life.  At the end of the lightning round, we had some fun and discussed the brand new #XE747 Punchout club from The Club Pro Guy.  #SoFunny

Our next guest, Tony Bowie, is the CEO of Child Study Treatment within the Washington Department of Health and Social Services.  Tony and I were college teammates at Central Washington University; yes, this is another #UncleRico moment.  Tony and his beautiful wife are proud parents of his 14-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter.  

Tony grew up raised by a powerful and supportive single mom.  She taught him so much about resiliency, adversity, love, hard work, and more!  He always knew he was loved, which is something that he passes down to his children now.  

Tony and I talked about diversity, race relations, and having bi-racial kids.  We also talked about the power of listening and making sure we LOVE our kids every day.  Lastly, make sure you always show love to your wife in front of your kids—simple but powerful advice.   Tony has also been involved with Goodwill and continues to be someone who positively impacts his community.
