The Dad Edge Podcast

In this week's Thursday Throwdown, I follow up on episode 100 with Ryan Holiday and his profound insights on how to approach life as a student. As men and fathers, we want to believe we have everything figured out, but in reality that's impossible. That's why it's important to drop our egos and admit to ourselves, "I don't know everything, but I'm going to learn as much as I can." For all the links and the show notes CLICK HERE.

What's the difference between confidence and ego, and how does ego hinder us from our own greatness both professionally and as a father?

Listen as he illuminates us on the difference between being confident and being egotistical, and how to surrender the ego to become a student of life. For the show notes and all links CLICK HERE.

Finding the time for self-care is one of the hugest struggles for dads. We always have another task to complete. We're always being asked for another favor.

This is why establishing a self-care routine is crucial. Listen to how as little as ten minutes a day can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life. Click for the show notes here.
