What a way to end season 3 of the show; first, thank you all for your love, support, listens, and everything you have given us over the past 41 episodes + bonus for nearly 60+ episodes. This has been a journey, and we can't believe we will enter season 4 soon. Thank you all! We will be returning with new episodes on August 16th! Today, on the show, we welcome Chris, the man, myth, and legend behind Kingdom Father's world. On the show today, we get after it! We talk about how Chris got started into Dad content. The brothers and Chris talked about God, his timing, love, and blessing on us. Sidebar: if that's not your thing, we get it. Stay listening  Aaron was the catalyst in this episode as he helped us break down some excellent questions you might be thinking yourself. 1: What do you do, and how do you deal with a new father figure entering the picture? 2: What's crucial in healing after a divorce and moving on with life? Sidebar: some adult language is used during this episode, hence the little E by the title.  We end by asking Chris what it means to him to be a dad and his parting wisdom for all of you listening. It's great. You will want to take advantage of it.  Find more Kingdom Fathers World and of Chris below: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpnXqnvyyxyvVvzhqekZGvA https://www.instagram.com/kingdomfathersworld/ https://www.threads.net/@kingdomfathersworld Jey is a published Children's book Author!

I had no idea what to think as we started this conversation with Brian, but I'm glad we started, continued, and finished as I left feeling fired up to be a better dad, and you will too.  Brian took us through his journey growing up bouncing houses, to college, to a college basketball career, playing professionally in Germany, to having his oldest son at 20, and up to how and why Dream Dads USA was created.  The best takeaways from our semi-finale of season three featured: keeping it real, the struggle of a father, dealing with the stress of fatherhood, dealing with mental and emotional issues as a father, getting your kids involved in your thoughts, being the best person for your daughter and so much more within this episode.  Find more of Dream Dads USA- https://www.instagram.com/dreamdadsorg/ Jey is a published Children's book Author!

"And that, as we say, is As Dad As It Gets," it was a lot of fun sitting down and chatting with Larry. Larry was such a pleasure to talk to, and we could have gone for hours, no pun intended. Larry took us through his journey into parenthood: infertility, becoming a foster parent, and ultimately leading to getting a single Facebook message 48 hours later; he and his wife were at the hospital welcoming their daughter into this world. I know a wild and crazy ride.  As we went through the episode, Larry and Jey talked about some of the most exciting questions Larry gets as a foster/adoptive parent; the two chatted about some fears, connecting with the biological family of adoptive parents, how our girls will go from the most loving creatures to busting noses the next second and much more about our kids. We ended our chat by discussing how after you become a parent, you must redefine your relationship with your friends; you might get left behind if you have girls and your friends have boys. Most importantly, how meaningful your relationship with your partner is, and to wrap it all us, Larry left us some excellent parting wisdom as we closed. We hope you enjoy it.  Find more of As Dad As It Gets and Larry: https://www.instagram.com/asdadasitgetspod Check out everything Larry and the crew have to offer: https://linktr.ee/asdadasitgets Jey is a published Children's book Author!

As we dedicate ourselves to prioritizing our time, we quickly see where the things that bring us happiness and value. We see where what brings us value. As we reflect, you accept the offers I extended to you here today, and I gave you some ways to prioritize your time and what that might look like; there's a theme: remember to keep it simple. It doesn't have to be big or expensive. What matters is what you are doing and who you're doing it with, be dedicated, loyal, and fully present. By doing this, you will see what is truly valuable in our lives. Our time and money should not be spent doing anything with people who don't matter, things that don't bring us value, and things that won't bring us and those with us joy.

It's time to wake up, smell the roses, and engage with yourself. Often as parents, we find ourselves busy as heck. Between school, our jobs, extracurricular activities, chores, and managing everything that comes with the home, it's nearly 9/10 pm before we even begin to settle down the day. When we do, we are tired, we can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like a whole day slipped through our fingers. Where did the day go? Do you think back at the end of your day about how you missed out in one way or another when it came to your kids, partner, friends, and work and that you just missed the mark? Your mind may be in other places. Did you know I have been staking a MAJOR WIN and got my FIRST children's Book Published? Also, now you can enjoy my new book, A Baseball Game with Dad!

Let's take another trip down memory lane, as this week we revisit the amazing conversation with Erik The Peanut Guy! Erik helped us ring in the New Year as he joined us just shortly after 2023 began.

We were so happy and blessed he could join us. Erik takes the floor and talks about the significant impact his dad had on him as a person, a husband, and just a man of the community.

The story's moral is to take the time to see your wins, celebrate them, and when you fail or fall short, forgive yourself and be patient. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and you will become the best version of yourself after a while. Trust me, I'm still working towards that version of me, I'm getting closer, but it's a lifelong path I'm on, and so are you. Continue to work towards your goals, create new ones, and never stop improving and becoming your best. Did you know I have been staking a MAJOR WIN and got my FIRST children's Book Published?

Eliminate the excuses of why you can't be the best teammate to all these people by questioning why you can't. Why not you? Why can't you do all these things? You give them freely already; why can't you significantly add a couple more layers if that improves the situation? Remember you have the support; you have the people there for you, use them rely on them, and start eliminating the excuses one by one and slowly to get to the end goal or whatever the excuses are keeping you from; it'll be more than worth it when you get through it all and end up on the other side of it all. No more excuses; let's go! Did you know that I stopped making excuses and got my FIRST children Book Published? Also, now you can enjoy my new book, A Baseball Game with Dad! Find it on Amazon.

I cannot say enough great things about Art Eddy, the host of The Art of Fatherhood podcast. Art is such a good dude, and sitting and talking with a guy who consistently interviews A-list fathers throughout pop culture, sports, and the business landscape is incredible. I was very blessed to have a great chat with him. Art talks to dads about their fatherhood journey to learn what it's like from all walks of life. We all aren't that different in the end. We talked about being there for your family and how to show up and be present. We chatted about how listening and empathizing with our children is crucial to help them grow and learn in this life. Lastly, well, not 100%. Lastly, there was a lot in this show. We talked about how we can follow our gut as a dad. There are so many amazing nuggets in this show, and it's incredible; you will want to get comfy for this one.
