Episode 122 - The Dad's Guide to Marriage, 3 Key Actions for Long-Term Relationship Success
To strengthen relationships with partners for long-term stability in marriage, especially for dads, consider these three actionable strategies:
Prioritize Open CommunicationEffective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy marriage. Dads can enhance their relationship by:Setting Aside Time: Dedicate time each day to discuss feelings, experiences, and concerns. This could be during dinner or a quiet moment after the kids are asleep.Active Listening: Instead of simply waiting for your turn to speak, focus on truly understanding your partner’s perspective. Acknowledge their feelings and validate their experiences.Expressing Appreciation: Regularly express gratitude for your partner’s efforts, whether big or small. This fosters a positive atmosphere and reinforces emotional bonds
Engage in Shared ActivitiesSpending quality time together helps maintain connection and intimacy. Dads can strengthen their marriages by:Scheduling Date Nights: Make it a habit to go out or engage in activities together, even if it’s a simple walk or movie night at home. Regular date nights help rekindle the romance and provide an opportunity to reconnect32.Collaborative Projects: Work on a home project or hobby together. This not only allows for teamwork but also creates shared memories that can deepen your bond.Parenting Together: Actively participate in parenting duties as a team. This shared responsibility can enhance your partnership and demonstrate mutual support
Foster Emotional IntelligenceDeveloping emotional intelligence is crucial for understanding and supporting each other effectively. Dads can improve their emotional connection by:Accepting Influence: Be open to your partner's opinions and feelings. This shows respect and fosters collaboration in decision-making, which is vital for a healthy relationship4.Empathy in Conflict: During disagreements, strive to understand your partner's viewpoint rather than simply defending your own. Approach conflicts with a mindset of compromise and collaboration.Emotional Check-ins: Regularly ask how your partner is feeling about various aspects of life, including the relationship itself. This proactive approach can prevent misunderstandings and build trustBy implementing these strategies, dads can cultivate stronger relationships with their partners, ensuring long-term stability and happiness in their marriages.

Episode 121 - How to Be a Better Husband, 8 Simple Tips to Improve Your Marriage Now
8 Practical Tips to Be a Better Husband Right Now
Appreciate Your Spouse
Every day, think of five things you're grateful for about your spouse. Even small things matter. Share your appreciation with them—it brightens their day and strengthens your bond.
Take Over a Task
Without expecting anything in return, take on one of your spouse's chores. Whether it’s picking up the kids or washing dishes, easing their load will show you care and deepen your partnership.
Schedule a Weekly Date
Set a date night each week and stick to it. Even simple outings, like a walk or grabbing dinner, help you reconnect and keep the spark alive.
Work on Yourself
Your spouse wants you to be the best version of yourself. Address personal triggers, and invest in self-growth. Whether it's through reading, therapy, or self-reflection, improving yourself improves your relationship.
Communicate Clearly
Address issues without being harsh. If something bothers you, discuss it calmly and work together on solutions. Healthy communication builds trust.
Listen Without Fixing
When your spouse shares their problems, resist the urge to jump to solutions. Instead, listen, empathize, and acknowledge their feelings. Sometimes, they just need to be heard.
Handle Money Calmly
Don’t stress your spouse out with money worries. Be responsible with your spending, and work together to find a financial balance that works for both of you.
Make Them Your Priority
Show your spouse that they’re your top priority. Whether it’s through small gestures, kind words, or simply giving them your time, putting them first strengthens your relationship.
Start today with one small action, and watch how it transforms your marriage.

Benefits for Your Kids' FuturePassive income generationPotential property value appreciationTeaching opportunities about real estate and finance

Helping Kids into Home OwnershipStart a Housing FundSet up a dedicated savings account or investment portfolio for each child's future home purchase.Consider using a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) which can later be partially used for housing.
Teach Financial LiteracyInvolve kids in budgeting and saving discussions from an early age.Encourage them to save a portion of any money they receive or earn.
Co-signing or GiftingWhen they're ready to buy, consider co-signing their mortgage or gifting a down payment.Be aware of tax implications and seek professional advice.
Long-term Planning StrategiesSet Clear GoalsDetermine how much you want to contribute to each child's future home.Create a timeline for achieving these goals.

Teaching by ExampleAs a dad, your financial habits will significantly influence your children.

Episode 115 - Extending Grace, Treating Everyone Like a Learner on Life's Highway
The Hidden Struggles: Treating Everyone Like a Student DriverImagine you're driving down a busy street and you spot a car with "STUDENT DRIVER" plastered on its sides. What's your immediate reaction? Most of us instinctively become more patient, give the car more space, and perhaps even silently cheer on the novice behind the wheel. We understand that this person is learning, and we adjust our expectations and behavior accordingly.Now, what if we applied this same mindset to everyone we encounter in our daily lives?
The Invisible "Student Driver" SignThe truth is, many people around us are navigating personal struggles and challenges that we know nothing about. These hidden battles could be anything from mental health issues, financial stress, relationship problems, or health concerns. Unlike the student driver's car, there's no visible sign alerting us to their situation.
Creating Space for Silent StrugglesJust as we give student drivers extra room on the road, we can create space for those who might be silently hurting:Practice patience: When someone seems short-tempered or distracted, consider that they might be dealing with unseen difficulties.Offer kindness: A simple smile or a genuine "How are you?" can make a world of difference to someone who's struggling.Withhold judgment: Before jumping to conclusions about someone's behavior, remember that there might be more to their story than meets the eye.Listen actively: If someone opens up to you, give them your full attention without trying to fix their problems immediately.
The Power of GraceExtending grace to others means showing kindness and understanding, even when it's not necessarily deserved. By treating everyone as if they're wearing an invisible "STUDENT DRIVER" sign, we create a more compassionate and supportive environment for all.Remember, just as a student driver eventually becomes a confident motorist, people facing challenges can overcome them with time, support, and understanding from those around them.
Action Item Summary:
Commit to treating everyone you encounter with the same patience and understanding you'd offer a student driver, recognizing that they may be silently navigating personal challenges.

E111 - Darren J Brookes - There Is Nobody Here For You, Perinatal depression and men
Daniel is an author and he drops by to share about his book and about the topic of PeriNatal Depression that Dad's experience.
Daniel's book: The 23 Rules of life…that most people don’t want to hear will challenge your thinking and beliefs. However, they will empower you to maximise your potential and relentlessly pursue your goals regardless of what is happening in the world around you.
Daniel's site
https://www.dreamstogoals.co.uk/
Although new fathers are at lower risk of depression than are new mothers,2 the prevalence of depression in new fathers is higher than that in the general population.3 Depression occurs in 10% of men from their partner's first trimester to one year postpartum; three to six months after birth is a particularly sensitive period of increased symptoms.2 Fathers who live with their children do not have a history of increased depressive symptoms prior to having a child but are at increased risk of depressive symptoms from birth through the first five years of life
Perinatal depression in men, also known as paternal perinatal depression (PPND), is a significant mental health issue that affects approximately 9-10% of fathers during the period from their partner's pregnancy through the first year after childbirth. While less prevalent than maternal perinatal depression, PPND is more common in new fathers compared to the general male population.Key aspects of PPND include:Timing: PPND can occur anytime between the first trimester of pregnancy and one year postpartum, with the 3-6 month period after birth being particularly sensitive.Symptoms: Men may experience traditional depressive symptoms such as sadness, mood swings, and loss of interest in activities. However, they may also exhibit male-specific symptoms like irritability, anger, increased alcohol or drug use, and avoidant behaviors.Risk factors: These include a history of depression, stress related to parenting, role changes, financial concerns, and interparental conflict. Maternal depression is also moderately correlated with paternal depression.Impact: PPND can negatively affect parenting practices, child development (both internalizing and externalizing behaviors), and family dynamics.Screening: While not routinely screened, opportunities for identifying PPND exist during prenatal visits, postnatal check-ups, and infant clinical encounters. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can be used, with a cutoff of 10 points for fathers.Treatment: Interventions may include pharmacotherapy (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies).Challenges: Men may be less likely to seek help due to stigma or traditional masculine norms. Additionally, conventional depression screening tools may underreport symptoms in men.Recognizing and addressing PPND is crucial not only for the well-being of fathers but also for their relationships with partners and children. There is a growing need for male-specific treatment strategies and increased awareness among healthcare providers to better support fathers during the perinatal period

Episode 109 - June is Men's Mental Health Month - Building Community and Connections, Seeking Support and Breaking the Stigma
June is men's mental health month, and it's crucial to address the unique challenges dads face regarding mental health and finding support. Here are some key points:Building Community and Connections
Dads often experience a "friendship deficiency" and lack meaningful connections outside their immediate family. This isolation can exacerbate mental health issues.Joining dad groups or finding a community of fathers can provide a supportive network, honest conversations, and a sense of shared experience. It helps dads realize they are not alone in their struggles.Maintaining friendships and making new connections is vital for dads' mental well-being. Prioritize spending time with other fathers in comfortable environments where open discussions can occur.Recognizing Mental Health Challenges
Dads can experience various mental health issues, including postnatal depression (PND), anxiety, and stress. Around 10% of fathers experience PND in the first year after their child's birth.Mental health problems in dads are often overlooked or stigmatized, leading many to suffer in silence.It's essential to recognize and acknowledge mental health struggles, as they can significantly impact the entire family's well-being.Seeking Support and Breaking the Stigma
Dads should not hesitate to seek professional help from a mental health provider if they are struggling with their mental health. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.Talking openly about mental health experiences and encouraging others to seek support can help reduce the stigma surrounding men's mental health issues.Prioritizing self-care, engaging in enjoyable activities, and maintaining a work-life balance can contribute to better mental well-being for dads.In summary, building a supportive community, recognizing mental health challenges, and seeking help when needed are crucial for dads' mental health. By addressing these issues, dads can break the stigma and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for themselves and their families

Episode 106 - Kenny Barnwell - Touring The World and Making it all Work on the Road - Parenting Via Facetime
Parenting while travelling the world seems almost impossible, Kenny takes us behind the curtain - get a v.i.p. backstage pass to life on the road and being a Dad, here on Dad Space.
In Kenny's words: I like to say that the event business rescued me because before I started my event production career at 18 years old in Atlanta, GA as a Stagehand. I was a high school drop out, homeless, and strung out on drugs.
Production work was medicinal for me in the early days.
As a Stagehand, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet, so I worked my ass off in every area of production, from Audio, Lighting, to staging, and learned as much as I could.
I then spent time bouncing around as a freelancer and stagehand doing gig after gig, honestly thinking my new career is turning into a J.O.B.
Same stuff, different gig. I was working hard and doing the work I loved, but not in the capacity in which I wanted to. I wanted to go on tour, travel the world, and work directly WITH the tours, like the touring crew I've worked around while I've been a local crew hire.
I felt like I had plenty of experience, just needed some direction, or know someone, or...? I just wasn't sure.
One day I was working a gig as a Stagehand and a touring crew guy I was working with gave me a bit of coaching that changed everything for me.
He gave me the bit of clarity I was looking for. That bit of advice and encouragement fueled a spark within me that set me on a path to finding my passion for Backline and Production Management.
Since, I've built a 20+ year career working on tours in Backline, and as a Stage Manager, Production Manager, and Tour Manager on tour with artists such as Travis Tritt, Trace Adkins, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi, Chris Isaak, Amos Lee, Sara Barellies, Seal, Stray Kids, Korn, Jonas Brothers, and more.
I'm the co-founder of a concert promotions company in Tampa, the author of two career development books, creator of two online career courses, and I'm a career/life coach.

Episode 105 - Cory Yates - None of Us is Smarter Than All of Us - Addiction, Military Service and beyond
What is a Unicorn Ranch?
The Unicorn Ranch began when Cory was a Sergeant in the Army. Soldiers would come up to him with excuses about how their kid was sick, their dog died, or their car would not start. His reply would be, "I get it, you had to go walk your UNICORN." The next time they came to me with another excuse he would tell them to bring me their UNICORN so he can put it on my ranch and take care of it for them. Therefore, let us take that UNICORN or excuse and provide a solution to pursue your obligations.
When Cory got out of the Army, he knew that he was being called into ministry. Whenever he put a team together for local or global missions, he was still met with the same excuses. The most common one we hear is, "I'd love to go, but just don't have the funds."
God has led Cory to start a bladesmithing ministry in order to provide funding for missions trips and projects, pay for kids and youth camps, as well as serve those we are called to both locally and globally. We believe that if someone is being called to do mission work, money should be the last thing that keeps them from ministering or serving.

FREE RANGE HUMAN
I use comedy to help people & organizations break the walls of convention.
I AM CAGE FREE
I followed the path that society laid out for me, lied to myself and convinced my heart that it was actually what I wanted. After 6 years of grad school, the suits, the interviews, the seriousness, the loans, I woke up in my first year of the dream job and I was UNHAPPY.
I am a comedian, pharmacist, author, and speaker out to help create a more adaptable, empathetic, and humanizing healthcare experience.
Rewind to 2013, two years into my pharmacy career and there I was, struggling to adapt to the unscripted world of pharmacy and healthcare.
On paper I had checked all of the boxes: perfect grades, residency, board certification. But then I realized something was missing - the ability to create meaningful connections in the moment with those I cared for, and the ability to adapt and remain flexible.
2013 was the year I went to my first improv class and two simple words changed everything for me: "Yes, and."

I GUESS I'M A DAD NOW
A Humorous Handbook for Newish Dads Who Don't Want to Suck
There are no rules or explanations to this dad game, and yet it seems like society will literally collapse if you get this wrong.
Of course, I’m the most amazing pharmacist comedian you’ve ever met, but I'm JUST LIKE YOU.
Just a real dad trying to figure it all out.
