Episode 100 - Hold the Door for Others, Our Journey Differs, Be Patient and Hold a Space for Others

I was approached by someone and they said to me "The first time I met you I was afraid of you" What an interesting way to start a conversation.

Why is it that we can treat others one way and our own family members differently.

Dave shares his story and his journey on a path he never anticipated that he would have ever walked

Episode 99 - A Message for Dads - Legacy and what will matter 100 years from now, what will matter

I have a family portrait on my bookshelf of past relatives. I do not know their names, I don't know their story - and although they are strangers to me in this moment, without them, I would not be here. 100 years ago their life was a struggle, the same struggles that we face today, with different context, different struggles and different hopes.

It makes me stop and wonder what will future generations will think of my photo on their bookshelf 100 years from now. Will they know my story, my name, my struggles?

When we live in a busy world - a world that tells us what we need to be successful and what status is. But will any of this help in the future? 100 years from now?

As Dads we need to refocus our attention on things that live on beyond our days. That shiny car in the driveway, your pride and joy will one day be scrapped, that house you cherish will change hands and strangers will live there, strangers that know nothing of you and all of your hard work to own that home.

Let's focus on what our story will be 100 years from now.

Episode 97 - Deepak Saini - Health Span vs Life Span, Be A Healthier Dad

My Previous Life My Injuries

Hello, my name is Deepak Saini. I am 46 years young and my wife and I have two beautiful girls. For as long as I can remember I had always struggled with my weight. I am under six feet tall and at one point in my life I was 270 pounds and morbidly obese. I was always in pain and constantly getting sick. My big wakeup call was six years ago when I injured my back and went into depression.

Recovery

I eventually decided to take matters into my own hands. I educated myself and made small changes to my lifestyle and saw some small changes. In learning how to heal myself and get back to the activities I love doing, I learned about eating a low inflammatory diet. I was able to lose the last 40 pounds of fat in months without really trying. I never get sick and am healthier, and more fulfilled than ever before.

Transition

I have less joint pain and more energy than I ever have. I have lost over 100 pounds total and am a constant 160 pounds. Now that I have found the secrets that works for me, I am never going to look back. My goal is to be a healthy and functional centenarian.

Success

I am 100% confident that eating a low inflammatory diet that is customized to the individual will work for everyone. At a high level, the principles I follow and that works for me, are eating a higher fat, lower carb diet. I particularly watch my sugar, dairy and grains intake. No one has to eat exactly like me, but a customized low inflammatory diet will work wonders for everyone. I have forged my own method by taking the best wisdom from many of the leading experts in the field like Ben Greenfield, Dave Asprey, Mark Hyman, Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman and many more…

Episode 94 - Tammy J Cohen - Author of Text Messages to my Sons - Be a Better Human

Tammy Cohen, has been partnering with top-tier corporate executives and entrepreneurs to develop

their personal and professional brands for more than 20 years.

Today, she understands her role as a connector and sees opportunities for women to thrive and grow exponentially, which is why she founded the Women Beyond the Table; a business network with a soul.

Tammy added podcaster by launching the Beyond the Table Podcast, leveraging her ability to connect with audiences by sharing her guest’s stories and wisdom.

In her consulting work, Tammy connects her clients to their mission, vision and core values statements and utilizes her networks to develop brands. Tammy is a frequent podcast guest and speaker on topics ranging from branding to leadership

When she is not helping brands stand out or women to thrive, Tammy lives in Manhattan with her husband and 3 sons and owns Eighteen Restaurant on the Upper Eastside. Text Messages to My Sons is Tammy’s first book where she connects

Have you ever struggled to communicate with your children? If you know kids, in-person conversations are just not happening. It can seem like we have so many more options available to us than any other time in history, yet we also feel more disconnected than ever. Just because technology has provided us more immediate access to our loved ones than ever before does not mean we are using the luxury wisely. And there is no better feeling than to let those we love know just how much we think of them and value their presence in our life. There is no greater power than being able to find a direct and simple way to communicate knowledge, inspiration, gratitude, and love; using technology may be the key.
Over the past few years, I wanted to not only evolve but also change the way I interact with my sons. I wanted to be someone they wanted to hear from, that they would look forward to my messages. So, to find a more meaningful relationship with my sons, I reached out to them in a language they understand – texting! It is my true hope for anyone reading this book to become inspired with new ways to connect with your loved ones, whether it is children, siblings, extended family, or spouses. The evidence is undeniable. Ever since I started this journey, my relationship with my sons is enriched and those friends who I have shared this passion project with reacted with encouragement and the desire to do this with their loved ones. For those who started doing this, the results have been wonderful.
Remember, the power lies within each of us. We just need to share it one message at a time.
