Up to 95 % of the decisions we make are based on what we feel. This means that in almost every situation, we are reacting instead of responding. Think about decisions you've made based on fear, selfishness, or anger. How did they serve you? How did they affect those around you? Today's guest is the author of F*ck Your Feelings, Ryan Munsey. He is a speaker, coach, and the host of the Better Human Project Podcast. He tells us how to recognize our feelings, understand them, and look at them from an objective point of view. He teaches us how to remove emotions from the equation and act on our values instead. He also talks about reframing frustrating situations so that we can make the right choice in our behavior and become the leaders our families need us to be.

Today there is so much pressure to find our why, to have a clear purpose in life. Some people seem to have it all figured out. We see them on social media living their dreams. Others think they know what they were meant to be, only to find out they're unfulfilled. Those of us who haven't defined a clear purpose yet seem to be looked down on (or maybe we just feel that way). Today's guest tells us why you need to forget the pressure to find your why and how to let it reveal itself to you. Dominick Quartuccio, bestselling author of Design Your Future: 3 Simple Steps to Stop Drifting and Take Command of Your Life, is back on The Dad Edge. He says that in looking too hard for our purpose in life, it eludes us. Most people don't know what their destiny is, and that's okay. He teaches us how to analyze our lives to become aware of what lights us up, and how to follow that passion to create a life that excites us.

We only get one chance to be a dad, but life gets busy and sometimes we barely have time to think about what we're doing. It's easy to get wrapped up in work and shuttling kids off to sports and activities without mindfully taking action to level up when we can. Today we have Dad Edge Alliance member Ray Matz on the show. He is the author of Game Changing Dads: Get Off The Bench and Into The Game! He is a husband and a father to three who talks about what we can do to get off the bench and take small actions for big improvements in our roles as fathers, husbands, and leaders.

At the start of the year, we are always thinking about goals like losing extra weight, eating healthier, and managing our finances more efficiently, but what about wildly important goals? Have you ever set a goal so challenging that it takes you beyond your limits and changes you forever? Today's guest is Mark Divine. He is a former Navy SEAL commander, founder of SEALfit, and author of The Unbeatable Mind. His book was the inspiration for The Dad Edge and he was the first big guest on the show. Mark Divine just completed a burpee challenge to raise money and awareness for veteran suicides, which occur at the horrifying rate of every 22 seconds. This wasn't a one-time event, but a year-long commitment of doing 300 burpees every single day. Mark talks about how he pulls through and even thrives on these kinds of challenges. It's not all grit. He uses breathing techniques, yoga, meditation, and intuition. You will be awed by the insights he shares in this interview. Save this episode to stay connected to your goals so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor at the end of this year.

Being a dad is the toughest and most important job in the world. For those of us who didn't have a good dad to learn from, it's even more difficult to navigate life. We didn't have a proper role model, leaving us without a map to become a good husband and father. But breaking the chain of bad fathering is complex. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we see ourselves falling into the same behaviors we watched as a kid. We feel hopeless and infuriated. There were no resources for men in previous generations, but we're going to change that. The mission of the Dad Edge is to empower fathers to be their best. Today, we have a Dad Edge Alliance member on the show to talk about his experience being raised by a violent dad. He vowed not to become like his father, but he fell into the same patterns after his own son was born. He knew he had to stop the cycle for the sake of his son. Listen to how he learned to grow beyond his upbringing to become a happy, confident, and resilient man.
