Dad Up Podcast

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk! One of the most challenging things we can experience as parents is the power struggle with our kids. So how do we avoid the power struggle? This episode will help you as parents avoid this issue. Here are some tips for avoiding power struggles with your child: 1. Set clear and consistent rules: Make sure your child knows what is expected of them and what the consequences will be if they do not follow the rules. 2. Use positive reinforcement: Praise your child for good behavior, rather than focusing only on correcting misbehavior. 3. Avoid arguing or negotiating: If you give in to your child's demands, it can reinforce their belief that they can get what they want through power struggles. Instead, calmly and firmly state your expectations and stick to them. 4. Give your child choices: Giving your child the opportunity to make choices can help them feel more in control and less likely to engage in power struggles. 5. Encourage independent thinking: Encourage your child to solve problems and make decisions on their own, rather than always relying on you to make things happen. 6. Stay calm: It can be tempting to get upset when your child challenges your authority, but try to remain calm and composed. This can help deescalate the situation and prevent it from turning into a power struggle. 7. Be a good role model: Children learn by example, so make sure you model the behavior you want to see from your child. Remember that power struggles are a normal part of child development, and they will likely occur from time to time. The important thing is to stay consistent and use positive discipline strategies to teach your child how to manage their behavior and emotions.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk! I want to dive into the concept of positive discipline and how it can benefit both parents and children. As parents, we strive to raise confident, compassionate, and well-behaved children. But sometimes, traditional discipline methods can leave us feeling frustrated, disconnected, and unsure if we're truly helping our children grow. That's where positive discipline comes in and in this episode I dive into some basic principles you can incorporate into your parenting journey to help with positive discipline. Positive discipline is a transformative approach to parenting that focuses on teaching rather than punishing. It empowers children by fostering self-discipline, problem-solving skills, and healthy relationships. This method involves setting clear expectations, using consistent consequences, and effective communication. By allowing children to experience the natural or logical consequences of their actions, they learn responsibility and gain valuable life skills. Positive discipline strikes a balance between setting boundaries and allowing children to grow and learn. It is a journey of personal growth for both parents and children, creating strong connections and emotional intelligence. Thank you for joining me today, and remember, embracing positive discipline can truly transform our parenting journey. Please make sure you are subscribed to my show!

NEW EPISODE RELEASED Click the links below or in my bio. Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new episode of Parenting Pep Talk! Today, I want to talk to you about an important topic that we sometimes overlook – teaching accountability to our kids. It's not always easy, but it's incredibly important, especially when it comes to our kids. Let me explain why. Our kids look up to us, and they learn from our behavior more than we realize. When we own our mistakes, we teach them a valuable lesson about accountability and integrity. By admitting our mistakes, we show our children that it's okay to make them too. We create an environment where they feel safe to take risks, learn, and grow. Owning our mistakes also helps build trust and strong relationships with our kids. They see that we're not perfect, but we're willing to learn and improve. So, how can we effectively own our mistakes and set a positive example for our children? Here are a few tips: 1. Acknowledge the mistake: Be honest with yourself and your child about what went wrong. Admitting our faults is the first step towards growth. 2. Learn from it: Discuss with your child what you've learned from the mistake and how you plan to avoid it in the future. This demonstrates the importance of learning from our failures. 3. Move forward: Show your child that mistakes don't define us. Emphasize the importance of resilience and perseverance in overcoming challenges. When our children witness us owning our mistakes, it empowers them to do the same. They learn that making mistakes is a natural part of life and that it's okay to ask for forgiveness. It also strengthens the bond between parent and child, creating an open and honest relationship based on trust and understanding. So, let's remember, fellow parents, that owning our mistakes is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. By showing our children that it's okay to be imperfect, we equip them with the tools they need to navigate through life's challenges. Own your mistakes, be a role model, and watch your children thrive. Please make sure you check out my links in my bio. Dad Up!

Today, we will be discussing a topic that is both easy to understand and implement in everyday parenting: the power of positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is a simple yet effective technique that can have a significant impact on your child's behavior and overall development. Join me as I explore how this approach can make parenting a little bit easier and more enjoyable. Segment 1: Understanding Positive Reinforcement - Definition: Positive reinforcement involves acknowledging and rewarding desirable behaviors to encourage their repetition. - How it works: By focusing on the positive, parents can create a nurturing environment that enhances their child's motivation, self-esteem, and overall well-being. - Examples of positive reinforcement: Verbal praise, hugs, high-fives, small rewards, and privileges can all serve as effective forms of positive reinforcement. Segment 2: Benefits of Positive Reinforcement - Building a strong parent-child bond: Positive reinforcement helps foster a positive connection between parents and children, creating a foundation of trust and open communication. - Encouraging desired behaviors: By acknowledging and rewarding positive behaviors, parents can motivate their children to continue exhibiting those behaviors. - Boosting self-esteem and confidence: Positive reinforcement helps children develop a positive self-image and belief in their abilities, leading to increased confidence and resilience. Segment 3: Practical Tips for Implementing Positive Reinforcement - Be specific and timely: Offer specific praise and rewards immediately after your child displays the desired behavior. - Consistency is key: Maintain a consistent approach to positive reinforcement to establish clear expectations and help your child understand what behaviors are valued. - Use a variety of rewards: Tailor rewards to your child's interests and preferences, considering both tangible rewards (stickers, small treats) and intangible rewards (extra playtime, a special activity). Segment 4: Overcoming Challenges and Potential Pitfalls - Avoid over-rewarding: Balance is crucial to prevent children from becoming overly reliant on external rewards and losing intrinsic motivation. - Addressing unwanted behaviors: Focus on redirecting and teaching alternative behaviors rather than solely using punishment or negative reinforcement. - Adjusting strategies as your child grows: As your child matures, their motivations and interests may change. Adapt your positive reinforcement techniques accordingly. Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool that can transform the parenting experience. By focusing on the positive, acknowledging and rewarding desired behaviors, we can create an environment that fosters growth, confidence, and a strong parent-child bond. Remember, parenting is a journey, and incorporating positive reinforcement can make that journey a little easier and more rewarding for both you and your child. Thanks for tuning in to today's episode, and we look forward to sharing more valuable insights with you in our future episodes.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this new series with you! Parenting Pep Talk: Setting Boundaries on Social Media In our modern digital age, the allure and influence of social media on our children cannot be understated. As parents and guardians, it is our responsibility to guide and protect our children in this vast online landscape. Today, I want to talk about the importance of setting boundaries for our kids on social media. First and foremost, we must recognize that social media platforms can be both a blessing and a curse for our children. While they offer opportunities for connection, learning, and self-expression, they also expose our kids to potential risks such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and loss of privacy. Setting boundaries on social media is not about restricting our children's freedom, but rather about empowering them to navigate this digital world safely and responsibly. It's about teaching them the importance of digital citizenship and online etiquette. So, what do these boundaries look like? They may include: * Age-appropriate usage: Ensuring that our children are old enough and mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with using social media. * Limiting screen time: Establishing reasonable limits on the amount of time our children spend on social media each day to prevent overexposure and addiction. * Monitoring activity: Keeping an eye on our children's social media accounts and conversations to protect them from potential dangers and intervene when necessary. * Educating about privacy: Teaching our children the importance of safeguarding their personal information and privacy online, including being cautious about who they connect with and what they share. * Encouraging open communication: Creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where our children feel comfortable discussing their experiences, concerns, and questions about social media. By setting and enforcing these boundaries, we can help our children develop healthy digital habits, protect them from harm, and empower them to make informed decisions online. In conclusion, as parents, it is our responsibility to guide and protect our children in the digital age. By setting boundaries for our kids on social media, we can help them navigate this complex online world safely and responsibly.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. My guest today is Jason Wood. He’s a dad, combat vet and endurance athlete. Jason Wood's incredible fitness journey is nothing short of a remarkable adventure that unfolded after his graduation from college in 2004. Fueled by a sense of duty and patriotism, Jason joined the U.S. Army as an officer, dedicating seven years to active duty and undergoing three intense combat tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This period taught him invaluable lessons in discipline, resilience, and the importance of pushing one's limits. In 2011, Jason transitioned to a career as a Department of Defense contractor, marking a turning point in his life. It was during this period that he discovered a profound passion for endurance challenges, using them as a vehicle for personal growth and transformation. One defining moment in Jason's fitness journey was his completion of a staggering 101-mile run in just 36 hours while wearing a 20-pound tactical weight vest. Undeterred by the magnitude of his accomplishments, Jason set an even more daunting goal, running an astounding 150 miles in 48 hours on a treadmill. Jason's pursuit of challenges continues with his upcoming attempt to break the Guinness World Record for solo tire flipping—a 100kg (220lb) tire for 24 consecutive hours. As a father to a 9-year-old daughter, Jason's journey transcends personal achievement. His successful summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021 inspired his daughter to embark on her own mountain-climbing adventure at just 7 years old, demonstrating the impact of leading by example. Jason couldn't have been prouder of his daughter for approaching the challenge with such enthusiasm. Jason's dedication to being a strong father goes beyond the physical accomplishments; it extends into the realm of teaching life lessons about perseverance, setting goals, and the importance of giving back. His daughter witnesses firsthand that a strong foundation built on discipline and determination can lead to personal growth and the ability to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Behind these triumphs lies a more profound story of resilience. Jason has faced personal struggles, including alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, and the weight of PTSD, depression, and anxiety from his military experiences. The outdoors and fitness became his sanctuary, offering a lifeline to mental stability and recovery. Jason's journey reflects not only the boundless potential of the human spirit but also the profound healing power of the outdoors and physical fitness.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. My guest today is Mike Cargile. He’s not only a family man, but he’s also running for Congress. Mike’s objective, and overwhelming motivation in his political pursuit, is protecting, preserving and providing for our families. As a husband and a father with many good friends, Mike feels truly blessed to have the opportunity to be a Representative for some of the most wonderful people he has ever met. Through the years Mike has been a coach, a crossing guard for his kids, a Booster President, Ways and Means Chairman and a deacon at his church. Professionally, he has been a writer, an actor, a director, a producer, an editor and a marketing director. Additionally, Mike helped run a small indie music label and managed a rock band from Australia and somewhere in the middle of all that, he helped handle the private label manufacturing for The Power Rangers food products. Prior to his move to California in 1991, he had a short stint as a Quartermaster Army Officer and then went Individual Ready Reserve after Desert Storm. His family has a long history with the US Army and he thought it would be exciting to try something new…Hollywood. Mike was not disappointed. He understood that to whom much is given, much is required. And from that realization is born his desire to serve the people and businesses of the 35th Congressional District of California. However, this is not about Mike, it’s about YOU…the people! At a time of unprecedented assault on our freedoms, our traditions and our Constitution, we need representatives willing to stand in the gap on behalf of the American people. Our citizens deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and unwavering support. Mike plans on doing just that! Make sure you check out Mike Cargile’s links below or in show notes.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. Growing up, Bryce Kenny’s passion was in Top Fuel dragracing, traveling the country with his grandfather competing in a race car capable of 300mph in just 4 seconds! Those miles traveled in the rig with his grandfather, Doc Sipple, would prove to be the mentorship that would equip Bryce with the passion and skill sets to fulfill his purpose – to use the platform of motorsports to change people’s lives. Bryce believes that while there are no secret formulas to life, there are gears that we must learn to shift in and out of at the right time. These gears are our foundational beliefs that guide the actions we take towards living the life we’ve always dreamed of. Gears like being driven by purpose, failing faster, and becoming built for others all require a decision in the midst of life’s toughest challenges to make that shift in order to get unstuck, find momentum, and start thriving again. Life requires us to shift gears constantly, and Bryce is passionate about helping others find that next gear they never knew they had. Bryce is now a Professional Monster Jam driver as the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior, setting a Guinness World Record for the fastest speed in a monster truck in 2021 and being the first driver in the sport’s history to hit 100mph. Getting his start in 2016, Kenny recorded his first Freestyle win in his first year. Kenny earned the 2019 Save of the Year and 2021 Outreach Award. The driver of the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior has also played a role in Monster Jam TV coverage. His ability to represent brands and strategic partners like Great Clips, build family-friendly fan bases, and attain coveted awards in the sport makes Bryce a bright star in Monster Jam!

He was originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 6th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft as a catcher.

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. Most of Ryan Michler’s childhood was spent without a permanent father figure. He never learned how to work on his car. He never had the chance to roughhouse with his dad. He didn’t even learn how to throw a baseball correctly until he was a freshman in high school. Looking back on it now, Ryan wonders how his life would have been different if he had a permanent male influence in his life. What would the world look like if there were more men in it? Ryan’s not talking about males. He is talking about MEN (there is a difference). Now that he has sons of his own, he is committed to being the dad that he never had. Ryan and his sons do all kinds of great things together – sports (he coach’s ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til they are exhausted. As he talks with other men, he can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. But Ryan also sees a need for strong and honorable men outside of the home. Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done! And that is why Ryan started Order of Man. Ryan shows through practical principles what it means to be a man and return to our roots of masculinity. In this episode, we speak to the role of a man and father in the household and what is means to take back our masculinity. Dad Up!

You might know Billy Huard as the guy who spent 7 years throwing down on the ice in the NHL, or as the corporate guy who spent over 23 years in the business world.  Today, he is on a mission to help you find your own purpose worth fighting for. As a coach and author, here to spread the message that no matter how tough life gets… From the heights of the NHL to the depths of alcoholism and back, Billy Huard has survived highs and lows that many people don’t. And for that, he is eternally grateful.  To be honest, it’s been a wild ride. Let me explain… Playing professional hockey was a dream come true, and Billy was able to achieve incredible things during his years on the ice.  Billy’s career began in a tiny town in Ontario, Canada, where he first laced up his skates at the age of 5. From that moment on, he was hooked.  Eventually, he found himself playing for amazing teams, like the Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars and Los Angeles Kings – living out his dream in the NHL. Billy became known for his fighting skills on the ice as an enforcer. He has fought the toughest players of his time and had one of the highest winning percentages in the heavyweight class in that era.  And while it was all part of the game he dedicated his life to it! It wasn’t smooth sailing. The truth was, Billy wasn’t wired to be violent at all. It wasn’t his nature. But hi wanted to keep playing in the NHL, so he fought and fought on the ice until he barely recognized myself anymore. Living life as someone he wasn’t took an incredible toll on Billy. Off the ice, he faced his own demons. Alcoholism, depression, anxiety – they were like opponents he couldn’t fight with his fists.  The years of hard hits and head injuries took a major toll, too on his body, brain, relationships, and life in general. He truly feels he is lucky to have made it out alive. After retiring from hockey, Billy had to find his identity outside of professional sports. It was one of the biggest challenges of his life. He eventually jumped into the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds and learned a lot about the ups and downs of business.  But his demons still followed him around until hit rock bottom.  After that, Billy decided to get serious about his life mental health and kick the negative habits that lingered for too long in his life, like alcoholism. It’s been a long road, full of triumphs and struggles, but he came out of it thriving. Now, Billy is all about spreading the message of hope and helping people confront the darkness and live a life of purpose. Through Billy’s coaching and writing, he is omnipotent you to never give up on yourself, no matter what challenges you face. Maybe you set out to do something in life that got twisted and tattered in, too. Maybe you chased down a dream and you’re not as fulfilled as you expected to be. Maybe you turned into someone you never wanted to be… If any of that is ringing true, you’re in exactly the right place. Billy is on a mission to help you find a purpose worth fighting for. A life worth fighting for. Because rediscovering who you truly are and why you’re here is what brings everything back into the light. He is here to show that with acceptance, perseverance, and unyielding determination, anything is possible. Billy is a walking, talking example of it. So join Billy on this journey, and tackle life together! Dad Up!

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share this amazing guest with you. Mike Silva, the innovative mind behind QB54. Mike is a family-oriented entrepreneur on a mission to unite households through fun and engaging activities. With a passion for both sports and spending quality time with his kids, Mikey and his brother embarked on a journey originally back in the 80’s to create something extraordinary. QB54, a backyard game that combines elements of football and cornhole, is not only a testament to Mike's creative genius, but also a symbol of his commitment to fostering stronger family bonds. The game was designed with a simple vision: to get kids off screens and bring them outdoors, enjoying active play with their parents and siblings. What truly sets Mike Silva apart is his dedication to involving his wife and his own two children in the business. His belief in the power of familial collaboration is evident in how he's nurtured their involvement in every aspect of QB54, from sales to marketing. This hands-on approach has not only imparted valuable life lessons to his kids, but also reinforced the idea that families that work together, play together. QB54 has proven to be a game-changer in more ways than one. Families across the country are rediscovering the joy of spending time together, engaging in friendly competition, and creating cherished memories. Mike Silva's commitment to family, coupled with his inventive spirit, has not only revolutionized outdoor play, but has also revived the essence of togetherness in our fast-paced digital age. QB54 is not just a game; it's a symbol of the family values and unity that Mike Silva holds dear. Not only that, but to date there have been more than 50,000 units sold and even better, a portion of all the proceeds goes to help our Veterans!

Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share these amazing guests with you. Welcome to a new episode of The Dad Up Podcast. I’m excited to share these amazing guests with you. My guest today is Jeff Lerner. His mission is to help people unlock their full potential and design their dream life. He has been shaped by his choices and regrets none of them. At 16, he chose to get himself fired from the only job he ever had. At 17, he chose to drop out of high school and become a musician. At 18, he chose to start his first business and also made the choices that led to its failure. In his 20s, he chose to start 10 more businesses after that first failure and fail at them too. And he chose to keep going still, ultimately founding multiple successful companies and generating over $100 million in sales. In his 30s, he also chose to go to therapy, start working on himself, and become the husband/father/man he was born to be. At 39, instead of retiring he chose to commit his life to helping others and developed “the 3X3 Success Matrix”, a complete life operating system for entrepreneurs. That in turn became the foundation for ENTRE, the world’s first “Entrepreneurial Life Design” platform and one of the fastest growing education companies in the world with over 200,000 students in its first 3 years. All Jeff’s life he has chosen to disregard the advice of the people who wanted him to play it safe because they loved him. Instead, Jeff chose to believe he was created for a life less ordinary and followed his heart. He believes every person on earth has that same choice to make – each of us can choose to unlock our full potential by believing in and developing ourselves. Jeff has devoted the 2nd half of his life to evangelizing that choice and teaching a system to help people see it through. Make sure you check out Jeff’s links below. Dad Up!

If you met Joe Nester back in 2012, you would have met a lost soul battered, bruised and homeless all because of the affliction of crack and heroin. Joe Nester had a loving father that wanted to make sure Joe had all that he needed in life. He grew up in a great neighborhood, had many friends, was a gifted all-state baseball pitcher, graduated from high school with honors, he was a gifted skateboarder with professional sponsors and a gifted musician playing music with a small band with some buddies. But, that quickly faded once satan introduced crack into Joe’s world. Joe spiraled down very fast. He soon found himself out a job, stealing from stores to get his next fix and living under bridges to stay warm. What he thought was going to be a temporary summer phase, ended up being 10 YEARS! But, it wasn’t until a couple of awakening moments within his world that a shift happened! If you have any doubts in the power of our Lord, then just sit back and listen to Joe’s powerful testimony. Joe has been REBORN. No joke! Joe found recovery with the help of some friends and of course his new found relationship with the Lord. Always having a passion for music and now a sober look on life, he put pen to paper and notes into a guitar to share his life’s experiences through his music. Joe Nester's music serves as a testament to the enduring power of song to heal, inspire, and connect. With each new composition, he continues to touch the hearts of his listeners and solidify his place as a respected singer-songwriter in the music industry. In this episode Joe speaks the truth of his life. He is not ashamed to share it because his message is clear….to send HOPE to those out that that may be stuck. His music is inspiring and definitely spiritual. With a wide mix of genre within his music, you will definitely feel alive just in the words he speaks in his songs. These songs represent his life. They represent real struggle, but also represent TRUTH with the help of Jesus. Please make sure you check out Joe’s music and be sure to follow him. Joe Nester is an incredible human being with a great gift and I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed in his music or his testimony. Dad Up!

Over the last 30+ plus years David has built quite a successful life by most measures. He is a Husband, Father, and a semi-retired Sr. Network Engineer. Getting into computers at a relatively young age he had a solid career! He bought his first house at 24 years old and his second at 27. However, this was all in spite of the know-it-all rebellious nature, massive lack of discipline, & substance abuse issues you might expect from a Gen X'er that grew up in the East Bay, California in the 90's. His addiction to escaping reality & experimenting with drugs started around 13-14 years old which took James through high school, rehab, jail, and a meth problem by the time he was 18.  The last time he touched that stuff was in a County County jail in 1995 but that is only where the rest of his story begins. David has quite the story and he shares all of it and more in this amazing interview. Dad Up!

Those that meet Justin Pickens and hear his back story always respond with similar statements; “I can’t believe you turned out the way you have” or, “What an overcomer”. Born to two loving parents who dealt with their own demons of mental illness and addiction, Justin’s childhood was riddled with poverty, dysfunction, and domestic abuse.  Statistically speaking, Justin and his younger brother, Tommy, most likely should have followed in their parents' footsteps.  However, despite their own personal short falls, Justin’s parents instilled positive attributes through support and high expectations that led Justin to success.  Justin was the first member from his dad’s side of the family to graduate from college and has since earned two masters degrees.   For the past 13 years, Justin has served as a teacher and coach for multiple sports.  Currently, Justin has recently transitioned careers and works for Edward Jones as a financial advisor in training.   Over the past 6 months, Justin has been working part-time for Streamline Books, a hybrid publishing company that helps others tell their stories. Working for Streamline, Justin found his way on to LinkedIn and has enjoyed sharing his own stories by creating content and posting on LinkedIn.  Justin is married to his wife Kyndra and has a two year old son named Whit and a newborn girl named Gentry. They reside in Kansas City, Missouri.  To learn more about Justin and his many life lessons, please visit the links below!

Mike Donehey has seen his fair share of the unexpected. Following a potentially fatal car crash as a teen, Mike learned to play the guitar while still in bed recovering from his injuries. Learning the guitar quickly gave birth to songwriting, and that songwriting quickly led to the formation of a band. That band, Tenth Avenue North, became one of the most loved and successful artists in Christian music. Beginning with their acclaimed national debut, Over and Underneath, Tenth Avenue North’s audience multiplied with each new album and hit song, like radio favorites “Love Is Here,” “By Your Side,” “You Are More,” “Losing,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope,” and multi-week no. 1 smash “Control (Somehow You Want Me).” At the beginning of 2020, despite widespread notoriety and a devout following, Tenth Avenue North’s members began to sense they each had their own unexpected and unique roads to follow. Mike has seized this opportunity, reveling in the excitement to expand as a storyteller, communicator and thought instigator wherever his voice is heard. Mike’s acclaimed book, Finding God’s Life for My Will, was an immediate best-seller upon its release. Now his next book, Grace In The Gray, is becoming just as popular at his first book. Mike’s podcast, Chasing the Beauty, looks for the joy of God in the places we didn’t think it could be on the AccessMore network. Perhaps most exciting has been Mike’s writing and producing new music. His acclaimed solo album Flourish is just the beginning of the flow of new music coming our way. The unexpected has a way of disrupting our lives in ways we might not have ever chosen. For Mike, learning to embrace the unexpected has been the very thing that has brought forth encouraging and soul-healing art time and time again. Looking forward, Mike is trusting to be led in any way that will allow him to continue to serve and inspire. Dad Up!

Before Travis Stoetzel started the 'Forged Father" movement, he was an athlete.  He played college football and baseball, then went on to play a bit of professional football.  When Travis realized he wasn't going to make a living playing football, that's when he decided to become a coach. In 2009, Travis started a gym, The Forged Athlete and for years, he had the pleasure of training 1,000's of different men from all walks of life.  From your day to day desk jockey to Navy SEALS and Olympic level athletes, he was an expert at getting men strong, lean, fit and "UNCOMMON".   His journey as a “Forged Father” officially started after he became a dad. It was 8 months after he had his first daughter when his wife told him one night that she felt “2nd best” behind everything else he was doing. That hurt and stabbed him in the heart. He was buried in his profession trying his best to hustle and grind for his family when the truth was, he was distracted. His wife being “2nd best” was the truth and it scared the heck outta Travis to think about possibly losing her and his daughter. That night lit the fire for him to become a better man.  No more was Travis going to put off taking control of his busy life.  No more was he going to talk about doing it, but was going to BECOME the man he needed to be for his family. That’s when the “FORGED FATHER” was created.  The mission was to become a present husband, a deeply connected father, a super successful professional, all while being strong and jacked athlete.   A man FIT TO LEAD HIS FAMILY or what Travis calls, an “UNCOMMON MAN” What he developed is a method to bring all of these areas together that would mesh into your lifestyle.   He’s proven this method by loving and leading the lifestyle he preaches. Travis made it to the CrossFit Games as a Masters athlete and got 7th in the world all while being a dad, husband and business owner.

Kyle Carnohan is a true Super Human Father. He’s a body and mind transformation coach, dedicated firefighter, dedicated to his wife for over 20 years and truly dedicated to his 5 kids. Kyle started Super Human Fathers as an instragram account a few years back. Kyle was, at times, short with his kids, sarcastic with his wife and lazy around the house. He would use excuses in order to get out of being his best self. He used the instagram to announce his shortcomings to the world. He put his true self out there for everyone to see. He began to connect with other fathers that had the same shortcomings. So, he reached out to coaches and gurus. He also started reading books and listened to podcasts. Once Kyle really tapped into that true voice, his personal progress in every aspect of life began to skyrocket. Kyle began taking full responsibility by taking massive action in the things that mattered most in his life. As he leveled up so did his wife and kids. As did many others he came in contact with. He had dozens of men reach out to him asking for help and guidance. They were trying to tap in, but did not know where to start. SUPER HUMAN FATHERS was born. It started out as 20, then 50, then 100 then 200. Now they have their sights set on 1,000 before the end of the year. It has become a brotherhood. A group of men holding each other accountable to live the no excuse, nonnegotiable life. Kyle found a home. A team. A family. Dad Up!

Multi-award-winning musician Mike Whitla is the wizard mastermind behind Howdytoons, known for its heavy metal-inspired “dinosaur rock” songs and animated videos for kids. There are now four YouTube channels under the Howdytoons brand, featuring work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Across the brand on YouTube, Howdytoons has had more than a BILLION views, with 10 million more added per month, and currently has more than a million subscribers.   Mike’s wife, Lisa, died by suicide in 2019, leaving him a widower with two sons, now ages 19 and 16. Mike is trying to destigmatize suicide bereavement as well as grief stigma in general.   Mike’s sons are musicians and his older son, Jake, is also a composer whose work is heard on the upcoming Howdytoons album, Dinosaurs and Monsters.   Howdytoons content deals with an array of complex social issues such as belonging, loneliness, and loss. Mike Whitla believes that, rather than shying away from complicated or difficult issues, kids' content should boldly address complex emotional topics to help children and families deal with challenges in a caring and truthful way.

In June 2019 he underwent brain surgery to remove a golf ball size tumor and although he has recovered physically, he was not prepared for the emotion and financial impact this would have on he and his family.

Musician and singer-songwriter David Rosales joined this episode of Dad Up just before starting his summer road tour. Rooted in Americana and bathing in West Coast sunshine, Los Angeles-native David Rosales aims to provide a light at the end of the Pandemic Tunnel with his new 12-track sophomore LP, REVIVE (out July 22, 2022). “Strange times need good vibes,” says Rosales. “I’m ready to give the world a much needed dose of positivity.” Following his acclaimed 2018 debut, Brave Ones, and subsequent tours, Rosales settled into MAPS Studios in Fullerton, CA to record REVIVE in late February of 2020 with his friend, co-producer and touring drummer, Mike Willson. With the addition of a 'Memphis Horns' style brass section to his group of backing musicians, Rosales makes it clear that his sound has grown since the release of Brave Ones. The majority of tracking was completed during a two week session and with REVIVE finished, Rosales and his Band of Scoundrels were set to hit the ground running in 2020 with tours planned both domestically and abroad. Then, COVID and the lockdown hit. Rosales is more than just a musician. He is an outdoorsman, family man and does everything he can to give back to the community. He's never one to sit still and with REVIVE shelved due to the pandemic, Rosales shifted gears. Seeing how scared & stretched his community was, he took to playing weekly neighborhood “Driveway Hop” concerts so people could have a release and feel socially connected. Additionally, through his non-profit charity, BraveOnes Foundation, Rosales was able to distribute PPE's and Meaningful Meals to various in-need families and health care heroes throughout his local community. With REVIVE's summer release on the horizon, David Rosales & His Band of Scoundrels are set to hit the road, offering an uplifting and spirited live performance.

Kayla Stoecklein became an unexpected widow in August 2018 when her husband, Andrew, the pastor of their large church in California, died by suicide. With three young boys also grieving and a heart full of pain, she began sharing her struggles that she captured in Fear Gone Wild released September 2020. She is also sharing the rebuilding process in her new book Rebuilding Beautiful which you can preorder now. Kayla is an advocate for those confronting mental illness. It became her mission to bring hope and faith-filled help to others who have faced unexpected hardships, showing them that they not only have a purpose, but that they can build a beautiful life once again. There's a stigma around mental illness, especially towards people of faith. We often think that suicide is selfish. Kayla will tell you that this is false and something she is passionate about correcting. Kayla is very raw and honest about her experience and the grief that sets in each and every day. The truth is, most people suffer from some form of anxiety, fear, anger, all the way to depression and some cases of severe depression. There are so many things you can take from this conversation, but the most important thing I want you to hear is that you are NEVER alone. You are LOVED and SUPPORTED by so many people, more than you know. If you are struggling or just need someone to talk to please call suicide hotline 1-800-273-8255 or you can text "home" to 471741 for crisis help. If you can do anything for me, it would be that you not only watch/listen to this video but to please SHARE it as I know it could save someone's life. Let's break the stigma together and continue the conversation. God Bless you all.
