Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tire podcast. I apologize in advance for my voice.

We just got done doing a Stop Behaving conference, which is one of our Dad Tire conferences,

one day conferences. We were in New York and halfway through that I could tell I was losing my voice. So I

apologize for sounding like death. I couldn't even laugh. I sound like an 85-year-old

chain smoker. Anyway, I'm glad that you're here. Today's going to be a great episode. A lot of good

nuggets. I do recommend that you listen to this with some headphones on. Maybe just by

yourself or unquiet. We talk about some heavy things or maybe some things that might not

be good for young kids around. So just keep that in mind as you're listening to today's episode.

I do want to thank my friends over at You Blockout for sponsoring today's episode. You guys know I've been talking about this a lot but I've been trying to get more serious about my sleep. I think healthy men like healthy mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, physically, all that. They sleep well and it's hard to be healthy

like in all those areas, emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally without sleeping well.

It's not impossible. A lot of guys just can't get good sleep for whatever reason, work or whatever, but man if you can control your sleep and how much sleep you get. As a tired dad, my two-year-old last night was in my bed multiple times because of just not feeling well or

dreams or whatever so I get it it's not always possible but if you can control

your sleep you want to do it anyway one thing I've done when when I was trying

to take my sleep health really seriously when I was getting serious about that I invested in some black out shades.

I got them specifically from my daughter's room so she would sleep well.

They say that you know if you want your kids to sleep well needs to be

pitch black in the room and then I ended up just loving them and I've got them for

different rooms in our house but they're amazing there's a company called

you block out with just the letter U. You block out.

And these things, you can get them automatic.

They can do manual shades, but you can get them automatic too.

So I have mine set to at sunset, they go up and then at sunrise,
