0:00.0	Welcome to the Dad Edge podcast. The Dad Edge movement creates leaders of men,
0:07.7	leaders of families, and leaders of communities. We will not only impact this generation of
0:12.9	fathers, but the next generation as well. The kids we are raising will have better chances and
0:18.4	odds stacked in their favor because of the amazing example
0:21.2	that their fathers emulated for them. We are here to change the world. We are here to change
0:27.5	relationships. We are here to positively disrupt this generation of fathers so no man goes to their
0:33.5	grave with regret. We disrupt the drift of busyness and replace it with razor-focused
0:39.1	intention, passion,
0:41.4	purpose, and direction.
0:43.7	We are the Dad Edge
0:45.4	and we're here to change

1:27.7	and relieve me immediately. I'm kidding. But my gosh, four boys cooped up in a house. I mean, we've been
1:32.6	burning a lot of energy, doing a lot of sledding, doing a lot of snow shoveling, all that good
1:37.5	stuff. But it is like snow apocalypse here. And I know all you people north of us up in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You guys in Montana, you guys just
1:44.3	laugh at us because we're, we're kind of idiots here in the Midwest when it comes to weather.
1:49.3	Like we get an inch and suddenly everybody's going to the grocery store to clean out all the
1:54.1	eggs, milk and bread. It's weird, but it's like the apocalypse. Anyway, why are we here today?
