The Dad Edge Podcast

Our traditional mindset about money is one of scarcity. We believe we have to sacrifice and deprive ourselves of the things that give us the most joy. We budget the fun out of life. Money problems cause anxiety, depression, divorce, and even suicide. But in this day and age, our relationship with money no longer has to be this way. Today we have an exclusive 90-minute Dad Edge Alliance Q&A with Monday's guest, Grant Sabatier. He has just released his book, Financial Freedom: A proven path to all the money you will ever need and is here to transform your perspective about finance and talk about optimizing your personal relationship with money.

Today is our 200th episode of the main show. Thanks to all our listeners for downloading and leaving reviews! We have a spectacular guest for this milestone. Finance is one of our most popular topics on The Dad Edge. We go through years of education and training for our careers, but we're never taught about how to best use the money we make, and sadly, we rarely take active steps to find ways increase our income. Grant Sabatier is the founder of MillenialMoney.com and is financially free at the age of thirty-five. He says that the "old school" narrative is obsolete and is with us to talk about his book Financial Freedom: A proven path to all the money you will ever need. Get ready for early retirement!

This is our last show for January 2019 and we are shutting it down with an intense topic, surviving the dark night of the soul. We all fight inner battles. Most of us struggle alone. Today, one of our Dad Edge Alliance team leads opens up about how alcoholism and depression led him to the brink of suicide. He lost his job, his house, his wife, and was bankrupt. He was overweight and unhealthy from the constant booze, cocaine, and cigarettes. But one day, something clicked and he decided to fight his way back to the light. Listen to his story from hopelessness to the heroic triumph over the battle within.

Up to 95 % of the decisions we make are based on what we feel. This means that in almost every situation, we are reacting instead of responding. Think about decisions you've made based on fear, selfishness, or anger. How did they serve you? How did they affect those around you? Today's guest is the author of F*ck Your Feelings, Ryan Munsey. He is a speaker, coach, and the host of the Better Human Project Podcast. He tells us how to recognize our feelings, understand them, and look at them from an objective point of view. He teaches us how to remove emotions from the equation and act on our values instead. He also talks about reframing frustrating situations so that we can make the right choice in our behavior and become the leaders our families need us to be.
