A bit more about Justin. BIO: Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He grew up in a ridiculously small town in Iowa.

Over 15 years, he did all the jobs one could find in this industry, most notably staying with PING golf for almost 10 years.

EP 241 Mike Thompson The Father Show with Guest Tommy Maloney

Denise Boehler

My guest is Denise Boehler, who is my hero when it comes to serving the fur baby community. BIO: Do you need help getting a homeless animal's story out there? Would you like to impart the happy ending to your donors, of a successful adoption story for your website? Do you need help writing a grant and lack the time and skills needed to get your mission and needs across?  Research and writing is what I do. Deep listening, processing, inquiry and creating through the written word is all part of the process of human communication. Whether it's writing from the heart, immersing in the intellect, or combining it to convey your needs in the clearest possible language, I am honored to be of service.  After years of writing legal publications, I now spend my days writing about animals in need -- of a voice for their rights, of a word for their situation. I draw from the ground of ecopsychology, which allows me to infuse my work with the Buddhist philosophy of compassion and a return to a holistic, more connective relationship with nature.  What are your needs?  · Are you a nonprofit in need of a passionate, experienced and ecopsychology trained animal advocate? · Are you a rescue dog organization who just needs to get the story out there, but you don't have the time to write it? https://www.linkedin.com/in/colorado-animaladvocate/   This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or  here.

Eugene Schneeberg

My guest is the author of the new book "I Never Met My Father" Eugene Schneeberg. BIO: I Never Met My Father is a powerful true story of brokenness, forgiveness, healing, restoration, and hope.    My new book is filled with practical advice for fathers, mothers, and children.    If you're one of the millions of men and women who grew up with a rocky relationship or no relationship with your father, then this book is for you.   In My new book, I share my RAW AND HONEST JOURNEY GROWING UP IN POVERTY, my battles with insecurity, mental illness, and depression,    My new book will teach you ways to break generational cycles of fatherlessness.   And put you on a path toward forgiveness, healing, and wholeness.     For the first time ever, I share lessons learned from over 30 years of searching for my father.   Each chapter has action steps and a fatherhood challenge to encourage you.   My journey from the poor house to the White House proves that there is hope for fatherless sons and daughters.   If you are a father, a mother, or one of the millions of people like me who grew up without your father, this is a must-read for you.  LINKS: https://inevermetmyfather.com/ https://inevermetmyfather.com/https://youtu.be/uGSxN6_GYOE https://inevermetmyfather.myshopify.com/products/i-never-met-my-father-paper-backWww.fathersforward.comMy question before you go.

EP 235 Elise Buie

Brian Anderson

PRE-ORDER: My Dad's Advice At 5:04 AM https://blendingthefamily.com/products/   My guest is the Co-Founder of Fathering Together, Brian Anderson. He has a new book titled "Fathering Together." Bio Brian Anderson is a husband and father to two spirited daughters that keep me inspired and exhausted every day. Prior to co-founding Fathering Together, Brian worked as a social worker, community organizer, university chaplain, and interfaith leadership development consultant. As the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Fathering Together, Brian brings those experiences to empower fathers to be agents for positive change. When not working, Brian serves as an amateur chef for his family and works on his forthcoming book: Fathering Together which provides a roadmap for fathers using servant leadership as a guide.   LINKS: Web — Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — LinkedIn      Book info: https://bit.ly/FTBookPreSale       But here's an excerpt:    The Book  Last year, my daughter told me she didn't like me anymore. It is something no parent wants to hear.  In that moment, I knew nothing I could say would fix it. I'd broken her trust, and it would take time for me to rebuild and strengthen our bond. In Fathering Together, this story from my life and personal narratives from fellow dads illustrate the changing landscape of fatherhood. The old archetype of dads being breadwinners doesn't cut it anymore. We must be so much more.  Thankfully, Robert Greenleaf's servant leadership model provides an answer. Driven by personal narratives from my fellow dads plus research and resources, each chapter creates a roadmap for deeper engagement with your family, your community, and yourself.   In the book, you'll hear from dads who've been there, failed, and succeeded, such as:  Ted who went on a personal retreat with his partner to mentally and spiritually prepare for fatherhood. Victor who's quiet son inspired him to relearn how to get the most from life. Matt who is learning new levels of allyship is for his child who identifies as trans*  Ultimately, Fathering Together is a nonfiction book that speaks to new and older dads who want to reimagine fatherhood and the relationships they have with those who matter most.  &amp; The Movement   Fathering Together is not just a book title. It is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to empowering dads to be agents for positive change. This book is filled with personal narratives from our members and strategies based on their experiences as seen through the model of Servant Leadership created by Robert Greenleaf in the 1960s.  Greenleaf intended for his model to be used within business leadership, but its value translates to fatherhood perfectly. Therefore, I'm breaking the book into 3 parts.  In Part 1, "Exploring Who Dads Were and Who They Can Be," I outline how past models of fatherhood left so many dads incomplete and disconnected from their families. Then, I shift focus to highlight new models that are emerging and dads who are leading with relationships and emotional connections.  In Part 2, "Applying Tenets of Servant Leadership to Fatherhood," I break down Greenleaf's model with personal narratives and stories from my community to show how to shift your mindset and lean into emotional connection.  In Part 3, "The Power of Community," I illustrate how we build communities of support, accountability, and vulnerability that work toward equity. Through this model, we can acknowledge our challenges and create strategies for growth and success with our children.   My question before you go. What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

EP 234 Brian Anderson Fathering Together

From divorce to dating with kids, to the big day . . . You know, marriage.Blending the family is a podcast dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges and opportunities of being a blended family.

Michele Traina

Divorce Diaries Show Creator Michele Traina  This episode is sponsored by BLENDING THE FAMILY. Do you need general coaching or a professional speaker for your next event? Here is the link to get more information at Blending The Family. Now on with the episode.   If you do not ask the question, then the answer will always be no. I happened to be on Instagram when there was a notification that our guest Michele Traina was doing a live video. I jumped on because I've wanted her on the podcast ever since I started to follow her on IG.   I dropped a comment in her feed, and well, here we are.    Michele is someone that, if you get on her wrong side, then you won't be sleeping with the fishes, nope, you will be part of her comedy act. Just ask Police Officer Mike.   In this episode we talk about:  Don't have a meeting with her while you schedule your own meeting with someone else (funny story). Does Michele's daughter think she is funny? Is laughter therapy?  From Michele's bio: Michele Traina is a performer, educator, and creator of multiple performance brands that carry a thread of healing through humor. She has toured around the country from Stand up to Shakespeare. Michele earned her Masters's in Educational Theatre from NYU and has her principal, supervisor, and theatre teacher certifications in the state of New Jersey. In 2013 she founded Propbox Players, a theatre company for young audiences geared towards inclusion and performance for diverse learners. Her one-woman show How to Be A Successful Teacher was in United Solo Festival in 2012 as well as multiple other performances in the tri-state area. She continued her one-woman show 'train' when she was getting divorced by putting her diary on the stage. Michele created Divorce Diaries in 2013, and it has evolved into a one-woman comedy show that laughs at life's beautiful mishaps. A Jersey Native, Michele's work has a trademark accent and physicality to it, unlike anyone else. She's fiercely energetic and uses her own challenges in life to motivate and inspire her practice as an educator and performer. Michele's obsession with coffee, high kicks, and running literally everywhere. Her favorite role will always be a mom to her beautiful daughter, Grace.     Michele on the social: Website: https://micheletraina.com/ https://twitter.com/divorcediariess https://www.facebook.com/michele.traina36 https://www.instagram.com/michele_traina_/   Past podcast guest mentioned: Kathy Hammond   My question before you go.

Debby Waldman

Why talking about suicide with my son was so important, even though it was difficult.    Debby Waldman was born and raised in Utica, New York. She has a journalism degree from Syracuse University and an MFA in creative writing from Cornell University. She has been a newspaper reporter, a college instructor, and a radio researcher. Since marrying her Canadian husband and moving to his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, in 1992, she has raised two children and freelanced for publications and websites including The New York Times, the Washington Post, People, Parents, Publishers Weekly, and NBC-Think. She has also written a half dozen books for children and co-written two editions of a book for parents of children with hearing loss. As the daughter of a man who died by suicide and the mother of a son who wanted to, she is passionate about promoting suicide prevention and good mental health. You can find her sharing her articles and making snarky comments as DebbyJW1122 at Twitter and sharing photos of landscapes, baking, and her dog on Instagram at debojw60.    "Four years ago, our 20-year-old son was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after trying to kill himself. That night, my husband implied that I bore some of the blame." “You kind of normalized suicide because you talked about your father all the time,” he said."

EP 229 J Robert Parker Certified Hypnotherapist

Bruce Gammill

Wine is your friend. Choosing a wine is not going to be a mystery after this episode. Have I failed you yet? Do not answer that.    In this episode, we will finally do the show I have wanted to do for a LONG, LONG time.   Many years ago, my friend Zach recommended that my wife Ann and I sit down to work on our weekly budgets to have a bottle of wine.   Live in the home office; I sit down with a friend of the family, Bruce Gammill, who is the closes person to be a wine sommelier that I know. Bruce has worked in wine country at Beaulieu Vineyard. Whenever Bruce has suggested a wine (I am a red guy), he has never disappointed.      We talk about wine suggestions on first dates or cooking for someone new.   One of Bruce’s favorite wineries, and you really will not go wrong with it, is Cline. At the liquor store where Bruce spends most of his time, they recently did their weekly wine tasting of several different wines from Cline.   This episode was not just about wine but removing labels to describe kids. Bruce has been married and divorced two times. He talks about life lessons on raising kids in a blended family.      QUESTION!!! What wine do you buy for others?? Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFhju6cCeHC9xphoWbN3frA  Tommy has spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and Keynote Speaker at Everything Dad Convention. He even has won speaking awards through Toastmasters International.    The author of the book "25 Tips For Divorced Dads."

EP 228 The Wine Episode With Bruce Gammill Replay

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "walking"? What comes to your mind? Are you going for a walk? Are you taking your wing dog for a walk? Or are you emotionally "walking"? Moving forward (see what I did there?), we will explore the concept of walking—both physically and metaphorically.  When I go to the dog park with Otis, I spend a lot of time thinking as I walk. I am trying to get away from Headphones and be in tune with the world. Are you walking and listening to this episode?  There is no JOB worth sacrificing your mental health. I chose the above picture because it makes me smile and helps with my mental health. Our family dog, "Otis," truly helps my mental health. I hope this episode can help you with prioritizing your life.

Please leave a rating and review, share the link to the podcast with your social media followers, and support the guest on the podcast.  ON WITH THE SHOW.   My guest this week is a very good friend of the family. Nate Harrison is the founder of the daycare "Mile High Adventures." Located in the Denver Colorado metro area: http://www.milehighadvntrs.com/ About Nate: "I've been working with children since 1995; most often as a child care provider, and in 2011 I decided to go private after feeling that so many programs were focused on something other than families and children.   I hold an elementary education degree in Colorado with a PE endorsement, won the State Pickleball Gold Medal in 2014 and 2015, am captain/coach of a men's ice hockey team at the Promenade (Four Championships and three 2nd place finishes in 9 seasons leading the team), and was PTA President at Ryan Elementary in Jefferson County from 2010-2012.  I've coached soccer, football, tennis, kayaking/canoeing, and hockey; am a rock climbing instructor for Westminster Rec, been a Girl Scout counselor (residential and day camp), the head instructor and run the snowboard department at SolVista Basin/Granby Ranch in Colorado for six seasons, and have worked in Indiana and Boston with children as a para, substitute teacher, and child care provider.  I have a 15 year old son who plays competitive hockey at Hyland Hills (MVP his second season; Captain in his 4th season), leading scorer for Standley Lake in his sophmore year - proud Dad moment, has won 5 state championships in flag football, (though he doesn't give enough credit to his handsome coach), plays lacrosse, and snowboards, wakesurfs, climbs, bikes, and pretty much plays any of the sports I do.  My guiding philosophy is having children being outside and active as much as possible.  This helps them gain independence, see the playground of nature, and create lasting memories."   Nate and his son Gabe are HUGE Denver Bronco fans and I wanted to ask Nate right off the bat (no pun intended) how they are dealing with no sports. I do have to mention that Nate is an avid Pickleball player and yes, we do mock him about the sport. Then Nate got me on my lack of being very good at Scrabble. There are some great tips from Nate to help parents out with getting our kids active during these unusual times. Nate does mention someone on the radio named "Stink," who is former NFL player Mark Schlereth heard on 104.3 The Fan in Denver. Nate's son Gabe has been doing online schools for a few years and he offers up one key way to help our kids with getting through each school day.  Have an open and honest dialog with your kids was something that really stood out to me that Nate talked about.  We both agreed that our American school system is broken. Our hope is that schools will recognize this and make changes. If you want to contribute to Nate's cause after listen to this episode to start his own school PLEASE do so. His daycare is very cutting edge but also logical and a better way to teach kids. Even Seth Godin thinks that our school system is in need of repair.
