🟫 Raising Impact-Driven Kids: Leadership Lessons For Parenting Success | with Tyler Dickerhoof and Bryan Ward
👉 Tyler Dickerhoof is a renowned mentor and advisor for entrepreneurs and executives who are seeking effective leadership guidance.
👉 He has led an organization of over 250,000 individuals and supported his wife, Kelley, in becoming one of the top 5 income earners at Isagenix.
👉 Tyler holds a degree from Cornell University and has more than 20 years of experience in starting multiple businesses that have generated over $700 million in sales.
👉 His expertise in leadership is highly sought after by leaders of all types who want to elevate their teams to new levels.
👉 Growing up and working in the agriculture industry, Tyler witnessed firsthand the tough and challenging nature of leadership.
👉 This upbringing and experience have driven him to grow and transform himself to be able to lead and connect with all types of people, in all industries.
👉 People describe Tyler as an empathetic, compassionate guy who is willing to be 100% authentic, face his insecurities, and help others do the same.
👉 But it wasn't always that way. Tyler used to believe that his worth was derived from how much he knew, so his life was very much about convincing others that he knew it all.
👉 Any time he faced challenges, he would simply put his head down and push his way through them, eventually pushing away all of those close to him, too.
👉 Over the last decade or so, he's immersed himself in the world of personal development.
👉 The result? His relationships went from fractured to thriving, he discovered a new sense of fulfillment and he accomplished things in both his business and personal life that he never even knew were possible.
👉 Now, his mission in life is to provide others with the self-awareness, the tools, and the community they need to make the same miraculous transformation.
👉 Tyler created the Impact Driven Leader Podcast, Awaken the Leader Within Course and the Impact Driven Leader Roundtable, a supportive community that gives members the space to be vulnerable, become wholly self-aware, and grow into the best version of themselves.
👉 Make sure you check out all of Tyler links below.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this episode.
Meet Dane Palarino, an accomplished entrepreneur and founder of Palarino Partners , a leading headhunting firm in the
highly competitive software industry.
With a profound passion for scaling businesses through strategic talent acquisition, his mission centers on connecting top talent with companies poised for growth and
innovation.
A few years ago, at the age
of 41, Dane faced a personal and health crossroads.
After the birth of his second child and five years into his marriage, he felt unhealthy, lacked confidence, and was unmotivated.
Uncomfortable in his own skin,
he felt old and tired, struggling to meet the demands of his family and career.
Determined to turn his life around, Dane embarked on a transformative three-year journey, during which he reduced his body fat from 30% to 6% and significantly increased his muscle mass.
This transformation went beyond physical changes, helping him reclaim his confidence.
He adopted a hypertrophy-style training regimen and macro-based nutrition, which proved ideal for men over 35.
The challenging, yet rewarding process inspired Dane to start an online coaching business aimed at helping other men over 35 balance
their overall health, professional lives, and personal lives combined.
Please check it out and show Dane some love by following him and reaching out to him if you’re looking to get rid of that dad bod.
