Fatherhood Field Notes

In this episode, Ned chats with Cam Gamble, father to five and entrepreneur. He shares about growing up looking up to a father and uncle and carrying that into fatherhood. This helped set up his definition of what a man should be: a teacher, patient, and a person of integrity. He reminds us that nobody should be doing fatherhood on their own.  They chat about how our words can create an environment of positivity or negativity.  He shares how he is rebelling against how outside influencers impact our children and create an environment of truth.  He shares his daily non-negotiables to hold himself accountable and being present as a dad. This conversation is a great reminder that parenting our children today is impacting future generations.  ----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.Follow us:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelandcreateYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/rebelandcreate/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelandcreate

In this Craft of Fatherhood episode, we ponder the question: "How do we get what we want?" Ultimately, so many of us want to feel valued and important. But what would that look like if we flipped our mindset and looked at ways we can make others feel valued and important? ----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.Follow us:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelandcreateYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/rebelandcreate/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelandcreate

I'm so stoked on this episode with comedian, surfer, father, and rad human - Jonathan Wayne Freeman. We talk fear, comfort, laughter, tacos, and booze. We discuss how he broke away from the 9-5 to follow his dreams and find more happiness by working for himself. He shares how to combat fear and make big steps to change the betterment of your family despite what our current culture pushes upon us. He shares how sobriety has shifted his perspective on everything - how it has impacted his home and raising his kids. I love that he shared how partying for decades led to a realization of how damaging this selfishness could be and how it shifted his perspective on what it means to be a man.  We dive deep into authenticity and vulnerability. Our world is infiltrated with fakeness and inauthenticity - realness is where creativity and connection stem from. We cannot afford to not be authentic. He talks about how he sees his drive for realness playing out in his two sons.  Above all else, this man exudes authenticity while still being a work in progress and has so much wisdom to share in this conversation.
