Every aspect of your day has to be guarded and if you are not intentional with your father style, then life will get in the way and will raise your kids without you.

 30 for 30 Campaign Marches on! Ep. 15 is out. We talked to Dashar Holloway from Parenthood News and Fatherhood Village. Too often, we as husbands and fathers get focused on the little things that don't matter. We don't give enough credit to our stay-at-home partners for everything they do. They are the ones keeping our children alive when we are gone all day working. We tend to lose focus on how important of a task that is. Dashar explains how holding your spouse's day to a certain standard in hurting your marriage. 

 Welcome back to Ep. 17 of the Ferocious Fatherhood Podcast. Today we talk to Chris Rodack from Rising Father. He started Rising Father because he was tired of seeing all his male friends not enjoy how they were living. He talks about how he was tired of living the way that he was and decided to do something about it.

 Ep. 18 of The Ferocious Fatherhood Podcast sees us sitting down with Thomas Ransome. Thomas is a pastor in New Jersey with a 4 year old son and a newborn daughter. We talk about breakng the generational wounding that father's can inflict upon our children when we repeat the same bad habits we saw growing up. Thomas talks about the challenges he faces raising mixed ethnicity children and how he plans on fighting the stereotypes. He weaves scripture into his mindset of seeing people for who they and not what society says about them. 

 In this episode of the Ferocious Fatherhood Podcast, we talk with Orlon Vincent from Fatherhood Mastery. Orlon explains that when you forgive someone, it really sets you free, not them. He talks about how he learned to let go of the resentment to his father. Letting go of that resentment allowed him to become a better individual, husband, and father! The ability this man has to dive deep into his own reflections and change who he is, is exceptional! 

 Your job requires more and more out of you. Your relationships take what little time you already have away. Your obligations consume the rest of what's left. Have you ever wondered how you find time for yourself? As a Ferocious Father it is important to take time to ensure that your life is centered. Lee Kaburis explains the importance of taking the time that you need. Whether it is first thing in the morning or an extra hour over lunch, you need to carve out time for yourself so that you can be more productive when your family needs you to be.
