The Dad Edge Podcast

A lot of listeners ask about our mastermind group. What is it? A secret society? What do we do in there? And what do men get out of it? Today I have Jason Mac Kenzie and Jeff Bouwman who are facilitators of our Epic Experience Mastermind group and The Dad Edge Alliance to talk about how our mastermind groups work, the systems and structures we use, and what topics we focus on. We've also brought on two participants Andy and Zac to talk about their apprehensions at first, what they've gotten out of their experience, and what they think of it now. If you've been curious about how a mastermind group can take your life up to the next level, you do not want to miss this episode! For the show notes and sponsor offers CLICK HERE.

Today we have Stephen Mansfield on The Dad Edge Podcast. He is a NY Times bestselling author, a speaker, and media consultant. His book Mansfield's Book of Manly Men reveals the secrets and virtues of great men.
