#168: Be an Awesome Dad Without Losing Your Life

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Larry Hagner, is the founder of
the Good Dad Project. He is the father of four boys and has been
happily married to his wife Jessica for 17 years. Larry is the
author of the best-selling book: The Dad's Edge. He also hosts a
community of hundreds of men in the Dad Edge Alliance
Mastermind. 
 
Being a dad is simultaneously one of the most amazing and
challenging things you can do. We want to make sure you can
actually enjoy your kids and your life, rather than being
constantly exhausted, distracted or overwhelmed.
 
With a busy life on top of parenting, do you have any time for
yourself, to pursue your dreams and take care of your
well-being? 


 


In today’s episode, we discuss:


What has created success and happiness in Larry's 24-year
relationship with his wife

How to cultivate patience and the ability to be calm and
clear, rather than explode with your kids

What men can do to shift from complaining and frustration to
empowerment and clarity

How to communicate in a way that allows your spouse and kids
to open up and trust you with deeply personal stuff

Common pitfalls dads stumble into on the parenting journey
