Everyone on the internet seems to be talking about finding your life's purpose, or finding your why. Your why is supposed to be your moral compass. It keeps you motivated and on track, but today we're going to totally deconstruct that idea. I have a clip from a guest speaker we had in our Dad Edge Alliance, Thom Shea. He's a retired navy SEAL instructor and author of the book Unbreakable: A Navy SEAL's Way of Life. Tom gives us examples of why finding your life's purpose won't get you very far and what you need to work on instead. Stop and really listen to this one. Replay it. Share it, because it's a game-changer! For the show notes and links mentioned in this episode CLICK HERE.

Would you climb to the top of Kilimanjaro in 30-degree weather wearing nothing but boots, shorts, and a knit cap? Today's guest did it and he wrote the book on it.

I'm going to talk about an issue most dads face on a daily basis–losing our temper. What do you do when you tell your son or daughter to do something over and over again and they just won't listen? Usually we get frustrated and angry. We begin to raise our voice, but this doesn't give us the respect we want. Today I'm going to share a secret I learned from a mentor on how to get your kid to listen without yelling.

As children, we have mentors for every aspect of our lives. Our parents mentored us from the moment we were born. Our teachers served as mentors for each of the subjects we studied. Our coaches were our mentors when we played school sports. But as adults we are left on our own. We think we know all we need to know. We stop learning and stop growing. Today's episode is a clip from a live Q & A session we had in The Dad Edge Alliance with baseball legend Todd Stottlemyre. He drops a wisdom bomb why we need to continuously seek new knowledge and feedback, and why we need mentors in every stage of life.
