Pre Order My Book HereIn this conversation, I talk about the everyday stuff that makes up family life. From trying to figure out meals, to dealing with kids getting sick, to what we’re watching at night and even the books we read in high school. It’s a mix of random moments and real life.We get into personal growth and how knowing things doesn’t mean much if you don’t actually execute. I share what the process of writing this book has been like, the doubts, the motivation, and why I felt called to do it in the first place.We also reflect on marriage, relationships, and how everything shifts when you have a family. At the end of it, it comes back to chasing your dreams, doing the work, and hopefully setting the example for your kids to do the same.Chapters00:00 Lunch Break Conversations02:53 Family Dynamics and Meal Prep05:49 Sickness and Family Care09:00 Thrillers and Entertainment Preferences11:52 Book Recommendations and Reading Preferences14:51 High School Literature and Its Impact17:44 Negative Influences and Overcoming Challenges20:41 Personal Growth and Relationships23:40 Execution Over Knowledge26:43 The Importance of Following Dreams29:29 Parenting and Marriage Dynamics32:36 Self-Help and Personal Development35:31 The Journey of Writing a Book38:34 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsSubscribe to my weekly reflections on SubstackFollow The Tired Dad on InstagramFollow The Tired Mom on InstagramSubscribe to Youtube Follow on TikTokFollow on FacebookFor partnerships, email collabs@tireddad.com
