The Winging It Podcast Al-Tereek Battle

Sean and I have been friends for a few years now.  We met on the basketball court, he is an original Y Baller, our 6am basketball group. He’s the responsible consistent guy in the group, always stretching before and after games and stays in fantastic shape. It’s always a good day when Sean is around, he is always calm and supportive but most of all he acts as if he likes my super long winded stories.  I am excited to hear what Sean has to share about his parenting style.

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing, quite possibly, “ The Busiest Man Alive”. That was one of the many well earned nicknames for my good friend Mr. Rabu Gary.  In college Rabu was always on the go and not much has changed over the last 20 plus years.  However, unlike college where there was only himself to consider, now Mr. Gary is a very successful family man and entrepreneur.  I’m excited to hear how he manages the ever elusive work life balance.

My family and I have been in Montgomery since 2005 and the first dad I struck up a friendship with was my good friend Marc Rosner.  Through the years Marc and I have had some great conversations whether it be over a beer or while walking our dogs during soccer practice, Marc has always been a source of valuable insight for me.  I hope you enjoy our conversation as Marc and I discuss his parenting style.

Hey everyone,  welcome to episode 10 of the winging it podcast. I’m excited for this conversation for personal reasons.  My son will be graduating high school in June, he’s ready to roll, problem is I don’t know if I am yet.  My guest Matt Rosenthal is a fantastic dad in my neighborhood.  I met Matt about 6 years ago when my kids played in his Flag Football league.  I have to tell you that this is one of the best athletic experiences our town has to offer. Matt does an outstanding job of creating a community atmosphere where everyone is welcome and respected. Today Matt is going to talk to us about what it’s like when the kids graduate high school and leave the nest.

Domingo and I have known each other since high school where he was super outgoing popular and FUNNY!  Since high school he has grown into a Fantastic family man and an award winning real estate broker who has always been a high achiever now entering his 20th year. For Domingo, Success in family, sports and in business has required razor sharp focus.  Today I am thrilled to learn as Domingo shares his approach to success in fatherhood.

Domingo's fatherhood resources:

1.) Reading books on fatherhood - The Read-Aloud Handbook: Seventh Edition

2.) Mentorship - Tony Robbins (Success Leaves Clues)

3.) Seminars -  Band of Brothers http://maryland.bootcampdetails.com/

This episode is special to me for a couple of reasons, first is that this episode coincides with my nephew Myster’s 21st birthday!  Happy Birthday, nephew. The second reason is that my guest today is my older brother Victor Battle.  My brother has always had a larger than life personality. As long as I can remember, he has been a huge support system for me, by encouraging me to be my best self.  He was an ideal big brother and his popularity helped make life fun for me in our hometown, Passaic. I’m excited for you to hear what my brother Victor has to share on discipline and fatherhood.
