It All Matters: A Father-Son Podcast

Life's too short to not be happy

Find yourself, find your happiness. Aden and I talked this week about the importance of finding joy – or at least trying to – in everything you do. Especially the small things. Be thankful, every single day is a blessing.

Kindness wins every time

When it comes to being unkind, we often are the hardest on ourselves. Aden and I talked about the absolute need to be kind to ourselves first so that we can brighten someone else's day. It's so easy to forget that each day is new – let the baggage of yesterday and the worry of tomorrow go. And most importantly, be kind, no matter what.

When in doubt, go back to the basics

Aden and I talk about the first week back to school, football tryouts and most importantly, the need to return to the basics to find our way again.

It All Matters – A Father-Son Podcast: Number One

Your goal doesn’t have to involve being number one in something, but the message here is broader than that – you’ve gotta take the risk at some point and make a move.  My son and I had this conversation recently – the idea that “number one” has different meanings given the context. But they all intertwine when you step back and take a broader look.  You won’t ever get to where you wanna go without taking the first step.  In order to level up, you gotta start at level one.  You can’t be a light for anyone else unless you’re a light for yourself first.  Progression comes in all shapes and sizes, yet it is so powerful in keeping us going.  You don’t know until you try. Take a chance; start at one – everyone does. 👊🏼👏🏼 Be free. It’s a mindset.
