Fatherhood Field Notes

Griffin Lewis has a heart for people.  He is a dad who self-reflects and has a growth mindset.  As a dad of three, a husband, a provider, and a lover of fitness he makes time to pause and reflect on who he is, and who he wants to be.  We are in an uncertain time with Covid-19.  For our podcast, he read some of his obituary, yea that's right...as a guy who self-reflects he wrote his obituary a few years back, and he wrote it as if his son was reading it one day...heavy!  With times already uncertain it is a great reminder that us dads have a huge opportunity to leave a mark on this earth through our day in day out decisions with our time and resources.----------Welcome a new dad into his role: https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------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

Riley Armstrong is truly an incredible human being.  He takes his opportunity for life very seriously while not taking himself too seriously that life isn't enjoyable.  He may argue that he isn't the best at that, but you can hear in his conversation around fatherhood that he is truly aware of himself, his family, and the world - but not to a point where he is paralyzingly overwhelmed, he wants to enjoy his life with those in his care and life.  Without a doubt, you will be encouraged by this conversation around fatherhood.----------Welcome a new dad into his role: https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------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

JM Ryerson believes that all people can find fulfillment and joy in life.  He recently wrote a book called Let's Go Win: The Keys to Living Your Best Life.  He wrote the book because he wanted to pass on the life lessons that he has learned to his kids.  He said that if he were to get hit by a bus tomorrow, he would want his children to have this tool, this is a legacy piece for their family.  JM also looks at the world as abundant, he wants to share his knowledge and tools with the world around him, this book will bring life to those who choose to read it any apply it.----------Welcome a new dad into his role: https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------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

Wow, I so enjoyed this conversation about Fatherhood with Anthony Will.  He truly seems to wake up each day and choose to make it a great day.  He shares his love for his step-children and the process of falling in love with them.  He talks about not trying to replace their dad but being another loving parent to them.  Hearing him talk about his wife and kids is from a place of joy and opportunity.  His positivity towards life rubbed off on me, I hope it rubs off on your too.----------Welcome a new dad into his role: https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------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 episode, there are some very big takeaways.  One of the big ones for fathers, and parents in general is to take care of yourself.  We can get caught up in taking care of ourselves last and then find that we are not doing a good job taking care of those around us.  We must realize that we are all a work in progress and continue to grow but also have grace for ourselves.  The vulnerability that Craig has to share his life is amazing, the way he shares his life is always in hopes that those around him grow.  ----------Welcome a new dad into his role: https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/Order The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------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
