Rad Dad Secrets Podcast

38 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 48 ratings

We live in a society that is becoming more and more fatherless and where manhood is being degraded on an ever increasing basis. It’s time to step up and fulfill our divine callings as Fathers and crush the stereotypes that men/dads are getting. Research shows that the single greatest advantage that a thriving child can have is a Father that is present. I would argue that even better than just being present is BEING TOTALLY RAD!! The definition of that will differ for every Dad out there but it’s time you define it and become it for your children, they NEED you to show up everyday! The page will help you to define and become that Rad Dad! Remember, it’s all about progress, not perfection...We are FAR from perfect and need this page every bit as much as any other Dad. Let’s stick together, motivate each other, and lift one another. Looking forward to connecting and sharing with you!!
