Cori Richter

This is a very special episode for me, for We RAD DADS and hopefully for you as well. This week I talk with my Son’s mom, Cori Richter. It may sound odd to most of you however I am exceedingly pleased to finally have Cori on the show this week. This interview was one of the first I had envisioned when starting the We RAD DADS podcast and I knew if it were to ever happen, we would have come much farther than I ever thought possible. Join us as we talk about our own backstory and thus the origins of We RAD DADS. There’s some pretty amazing truth spoken here and even to me- it’s clear that our journey is nothing short of an incredible series of challenges which were sometimes mishandled. Luckily for us, we each had the foresight, humility, faith and eventual forgiveness to arrive as who and where we are today. This is the ONLY way we share such an amazing co-parenting experience with our entire family. Hear both sides of the story that even I didn't have the full story on. Learn about the good times, the bad times and all the hope, trust and eventual triumph of our family- so far. Join us for the beginnings, the breaking point and then the turning point into becoming such an awesome family- If I do say so myself. I have a feeling that the good times are just beginning and I want the same for each and every single one of you as well. So listen up and get to know OUR story as well as; hopefully, a turning point of your own.    Support the show! audibletrial.com/weraddads Amazon affiliate LINK!

066 - My Son's Mother Cori Richter; Our story - Part 1 of 2

Ryan Hamilton

Join me as I make a “return” to podcasting with my guest Ryan Hamilton of the Life of Dad. Ryan has endured some hard times starting with a rough relationship with his son’s mother which culminated in divorce, market crash and job loss - at the same time.  It got pretty rough for a while as Ryan contemplated ending all the suffering however he’s much stronger than that. Deciding instead to fight he was given the opportunity to work with friends in creating Life of Dad.  Join us for Geological euphemisms and plenty of great inspiration. Hear how Life of Dad saved this dad’s life and how raising an autistic son only heightened his desire to become an excellent co-parent and dad. Ryan’s secret to his success as a RAD DAD is working on himself in order to attain success in his own life, only then did he see progress in other areas.  Huge thanks to Ryan and the crew at Life of Dad for helping make this interview happen. If you want to know more about Life of Dad please check out the links below including the link where I was the featured guest on the Life of Dad podcast. Much thanks guys! Intro and outro for this episode were created via Facebook Live and I’d love to feature YOU.

065 - Solid as a Rock with Ryan Hamilton 

I can't help but think of that Hardaway song "What is Love?"... you know the one from the "Night at the Roxbury" movie?   Well, at least I made you smile... probably.    Today's ep is a shot off the ol' hip. However I felt compelled to get it out there in a "timely" manner.  This is audio from a Facebook Live video and come to find out, my microphone wasn't working too well so I DO humbly apologize about the audio quality.

064 - February 14th the dreaded Valentines Day

We survived! We survived the Holidays, We survived the New Year and we survived yesterday.  You know there was a time when I wasn't sure I'd survive and I'm guessing that you've been there too. Eventually I decided to take the step past just surviving and dare to dream of myself thriving. Then I started taking more steps and the process snowballed. I started thinking and talking differently. I approached every "problem" as an opportunity. I started associating myself with better people and very soon something magical happened... I started becoming a bette person- one whom things happened FOR; not someone whom things happened TO.  ... and you can do the same.  I'm in a place where I didn't expect to be and I want to share it with you.  I can't tell you how much you all mean to me in this process. If I hadn't started WRD who knows where I'd be, or how miserable.  It's these little steps we take outside our comfort zones that really open our eyes; and world up to new possibilities and it's truly as worthwhile as it is terrifying.  But it takes work.  The only question is: Are you willing to work for a better tomorrow?

EP01 - Family is forever with Joseph Johnson on We RAD DADS

Laura Markham

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes   Not only does We RAD DADS have our first female guest, but she is also our first professional guest as well. We have for you this week none other than THE Dr. Laura Markham. Join Dr. Markham and myself as we discuss her upbringings and how her blended family dynamics shaped her into one of the leading experts in Clinical Psychology. Her relatable story and early experiences are directly applicable to any single parent situation. I was surprised to learn that the role model behind her successful principles is entirely attributed to her very own RAD DAD. Without her father's compassion which; in her words: "saved my life", she would not have discovered her full potential. Listen as Dr. Markham describes how her father was the one who showed her what loving guidance was all about. Dads, you CAN and DO make a difference! It was a true pleasure to speak with her. I can't say enough about my conversation with Dr. Markham and all the incredible nuggets she shares. On top of this, listen as we discuss one of her books and the powerful tools and tactics it details. I was very surprised to find extreme value in her book, Peaceful parent, happy kids. I HIGHLY recommend this book for ALL parents, especially RAD DADS. This would be an EXCELLENT FREE book from audible.com. When you  click the link you get a FREE book AND a FREE 30 day trial of audible.com. What are you waiting for? Who is Dr. Markham you ask? Dr. Laura Markham trained as a Clinical Psychologist, earning her Ph.D. from Columbia University. But she's also a mom, so she translates proven science into the practical solutions you need for the family life you want. Dr. Laura is the author of the books Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting and Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings:How to Stop the Fighting and Raise Friends for Life. The founding editor of AhaParenting.com, Dr. Laura also serves as a parenting expert for Mothering.com, Psychology Today, The Natural Parent Magazine, Pregnancy.org, Girlie Girl Army, SheKnows.com, and several other websites. She makes frequent TV and radio appearances and has been interviewed for hundreds of articles by publications as diverse as The Wall Street Journal, Real Simple, Newsday, Men's Health, Redbook and Parents Magazine. Dr. Laura's relationship-based parenting model has helped thousands of families across the U.S. and Canada find compassionate, common-sense solutions to everything from separation anxiety and sleep problems to sass talk and cell phones. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and two terrific kids -- now 21 and 25!  Show notes: 6:35 - Parenting Changed my paradigm. 8:39 - Clinical Psychologist 10:18 - What I was born to do. Virginia Axline.

EP33 - Father Nation with Jesse Foster

Please leave a Rating &amp; Review in iTunes CLICK HERE Have you ever happened upon someone during their weakest moment and helped them through it? Has anyone seen you during a vulnerable moment? Did they lend a hand or turn away? Who is Sy Sperling and what does he have to do with helping? We would all like to be solid rocks in the river however, we aren’t. We are loose stones tumbling with the current. Are you being true to yourself? Is your persona true to others? When given the opportunity would you do the right thing for the right reasons no matter what others think? The point is, start being who you truly are. Accept your faults and embrace your weaknesses. The longer you fight the flow; and who you truly are, the longer you deprive those who matter most from the amazing person you are and everything you have to offer. When you are a fulfilled, content, confident and happy with who you are on the inside; only then will you be that person on the outside. Fighting the current takes enormous energy and you’re already running low. Let go, flow with it. You will find that the river will force you through rapids and powerful churning currents- keep flowing. You’ll eventually come to rest in a peaceful lake or relaxing pool amongst other stones who belong there. That’s who I want to be because I know that I am truly at my best and most productive when in my own element. It is through exercising this mindset shift we will continue to inch our way toward that long distance goal- our perfect self. Sy Sperling (LINK) wasn’t perfect and the moment he admitted this to himself and announced it to the world he found his true calling because people identified with him. THAT is the magic of being your true you.  Get social with other RAD DADS!Join our Facebook Group! Follow us on Twitter! Check out our Instagram page! Take a look at our Pinterest Boards!

Eddie Aguilar

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes   Eddie is the proud father of 2 young adults and continues to put them first in his life. Eddie carved a career out of wildland firefighting as a Hotshot supervisor and found a true passion for the industry. As often happens, we tend to sacrifice these things in our lives for those we care about most. Before long Eddie found himself behind the kiosk selling cell phones and wondering if that was all life had in store for him. Unhappy and unfulfilled already Eddie's marriage was not living up to expectations, and despite his best efforts was being dragged downward by negative reinforcement at home. In a paramount moment, Eddie found himself moments from ending the pain but his strength found footing as chose not to find the "easy way out". Never the quitter, Eddie finally broke free of his anchors. After his divorce, he moved back to his comfort zone and immediately regained his sense of place. Luckily during this process he was able to retain a physical presence with his children as they moved from Chicago, Il. to Flagstaff, Az. Proven to be an unsinkable spirit he is now chasing his passions in life and spreading a message of hope and help to others.

EP15 - Getting back to YOU with Eddie Aguilar

Steve Roy

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes   Fitness isn't just physical with Steve Roy. Steve Roy (aka singledadfitdad) is a shining example of renewal after “downfall”. Steve is making men’s lives better every day with his personal mission to help others using his own relevant experiences. Like many of my guests Steve “had it all”. The job, the house and the family, everything that we’ve been told to want. His life exploded one day after a period of struggle when he was asked to leave the home and family he  sacrificed to build. An overwhelming sense of loss ensued as he transitioned back into simply surviving. Finding himself alone with nothing but time to reflect, he stopped caring for himself. Like so many, Steve KNOWINGLY succumb to terrible habits and fell deeper into the bomb crater. Blaming others and shirking responsibility Steve had a chance encounter with a friend who called him on his selfish thinking. This blunt interaction immediately led to an A-Ha moment which immediately led to active changes- starting with a grueling 7-minute run. The irony here is that Steve makes a living as a fitness instructor, yet was not leading by example. Once this epiphany was made there was no stopping him. Steve unleashed the person within and began singledadfitdad.com. His physical and mental metamorphosis was immediate and noticeable within a month This result is a direct result of finding true purpose and aligning it with your true self. His words of wisdom and stories resonate on many levels with us all. Come be inspired to re-create yourself by harvesting only the best in your life and moving forward from where you are to EXACTLY where you want to be. Let’s take those steps together!

Steve Austin

Please leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes CLICK HEREFinding grace with Steve Austin     Steve is a true testament to overcoming personal devastation. Although you would never know it by the charisma in his voice, Steve is a true survivor and has persevered through multiple challenges starting at just 4 years old. Growing up in the Birmingham Alabama area Steve brings a unique experience of what life in the “bible belt” has to offer. As a writer, speaker, author and blogger; Steve has been published by names like Huffington Post and the Good Dad Project. Steve is a survivor of an attempted suicide and now is a voice for those cumulative lessons learned from a life of shame, denial, depression and post traumatic stress. Steve speaks of the harsh road that recovery has been, his experiences in therapy and the positive impact it has made in his life. Steve attributes his survival, sanity and recovery to the loving support from his wife Lindsey. Steve points out the crucial importance of surrounding yourself with only the right type of people and dolls out extremely important advice for those seeking to reach out for help. In this episode we discuss very controversial topics however it is still PG rated. Steve is finding that grace is messy and unique to those who experience it. Keep an open mind as we talk about how grace can be found both outside and inside a religion. Don’t let your aversion to these topics keep you from hearing the valuable nuggets we have to offer you.

Ken Jaquith

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunesKen's advice for achieving perfection  "The only time you'll ever achieve perfection is when you recognize that nothing will ever be perfect." Ken is a divorced father of 3 and takes extreme pride in being the absolute best Dad he can be. Ken has struggled with everything from an extremely flawed legal system to being admonished as a dad. Formerly a Vice President for a huge company Ken learned firsthand that corporate success rarely translates to personal success. Ken’s path; like most of us was going from bad to worse but fortunately, he happened upon some hope. Brooding in anger he sunk lower and lower until making the eventual observation that changed his course. Luckily, Ken was able to pull out of his crater but it’s never easy. Seeing his corporate job becoming less and less fulfilling and taking him away from his family for ever longer periods of time, Ken capitalized on a chance opportunity to be intentional about his future. Ken is using his experiences through divorce and the legal system to help others in the same situations he found himself in. He helps men avoid common pitfalls that often befall the unsuspecting divorced Dad as they often unknowingly become victims of their own self-destructive patterns. Please join us for this inspirational story and get connected with Ken to change your own path for the best.  Show notes:6:08 - Back in the day 7:40 - Guy humor 9:35 - Journal &amp; Legacy 12:23 - WRD Mantra 13:03 - Response vs. Reaction 15:00 - Single parent epiphany, Compassion 20:49 - Bomb Crater 24:39 - Common denominator 26:58 - Are you kidding me!? 32:28 - Epiphany by way of Dr. Steve Maraboli 36:48 - Circumstances = Success 38:18 - Rock 41:12 - Struggle to success www.thedivirceddadscoach.com 45:54  - Advice: Picture success 48:19 - substitute for curse 48:59 - Favorite Age: Meet them where they’re at. 49:27 - Best Dad Skill 54:42 - Cornerstone Trait 56:14 - Lifelong learning. 57:02 - Motivation: Erick Thomas, Daren Hardy, Bruce VanHorn 58:54 - Get up and get on with it. 59:14 - Fathers Rights Twitter: @kenjaquith www.thedivorceddadscoach.com CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunesConnect with other RAD DADS!Join our Facebook Group!Keep fighting the good fight.Stay Up, Stay Connected &amp; Stay RAD DADS!

EP14 - Unexpected Thank You

CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes   "The only constant in life is change" What does a Greek philosopher, a Renaissance Physicist and a 19th Century German philosopher have in common?  You're about to find out in today's Micro-sode.[picture: The Legacy and Wisdom of Heraclitus (and friends)]Heraclitus draws together many of the principles I discuss here on We RAD DADS. I had always heard the above mentioned quote but didn't know where it's origin truly was. Come to find out, It was from a Greek philosopher I had not heard of named Heraclitus. "The Riddler" The more I dug into Heraclitus and his work, the more interested I became. I was shocked to learn that he was much more than a one hit wonder (with regard to quotes). Heraclitus, was known for shrouding his theories in obscurity. Due to this he was known as "The riddler", "The dark" or "The obscure".  This was an intentional choice because Heraclitus wanted people to put in the work in order to get any benefit. He understood the proposition of value in that; anything worth having is worth working for.  I completely agree with that notion, I hope you do as well. Heraclitus saw that most people are just "ignorant conformists". Going along with the crowd in order to not stick out It's much easier to just follow along with the crowd, much like a flock of sheep. "War is the father of all"The Flux Doctrine:The flux doctrine consists of three parts. The first of which is: "Everything is in flux". Heraclitus reasoned (accurately) that everything is constantly changing. And even the most resilient object is being changed from one moment to the next. Second to this doctrine is: "A man's soul is fire- hot and dry". I know we have all experienced this. When you are consumed by a passion whatever it may be you literally feel hot from within. When you are in the zone one can say that you are "on fire". I'm sure you see what I'm getting at here. Conversely, Heraclitus reasoned that: "A wet soul is worst". Comparing a wet soul to a drunken man who stumbles about. This is an interesting theory and a concept that I think I must mention at this point. The topic of alcohol consumption as a coping mechanism often comes up when talking to guests. Please ensure that you utilize due judgement when consuming anything during times of severe emotional stress. Third and finally Heraclitus reasoned that "war is the father of all". The context of "war" is that of two opposing forces or ideas. This idea is further developed by Renaissance physicist Sir Issac Newton's 3rd law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Heraclitus utilized a strung bow to illustrate this point. The string and the bow are only useful together. When assembled, they appear at rest and stationary however we know the forces and resistance are present. These forces are not visible however they produce a yin-yang effect, where one relies upon the other in order to be complete. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche recognized the importance of Heraclitus' reasoning. The German philosopher understood that a great individual is constantly in conflict between the "good" and "bad" attributes within. He went on to reason that peace is only developed by the balancing of these forces NOT the removal of the "bad". We got a little deep this week and I hope I haven't lost you. I wanted to bend your mind a little and keep you sharp. Sometimes it pays dividends to pontificate life's great questions. Please let me know how you feel about this episode. Was it too deep or confusing? or do you like a challenge. If I were a betting man, I'd say the latter.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche recognized the importance of Heraclitus' reasoning. The German philosopher understood that a great individual is constantly in conflict between the "good" and "bad" attributes within. He went on to reason that peace is only developed by the balancing of these forces NOT the removal of the "bad". We got a little deep this week and I hope I haven't lost you. I wanted to bend your mind a little and keep you sharp. Sometimes it pays dividends to pontificate life's great questions. Please let me know how you feel about this episode. Was it too deep or confusing? or do you like a challenge. If I were a betting man, I'd say the latter. <a href="http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1093937123" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CLICK HERE to leave a Rating &amp; Review on iTunes</a> Reach out and connect, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/weraddads/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Join our Facebook Group!</a>  Keep fighting the good fight.
