You must strive to find your own voice, and boys, the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.

That is a quote from Robin Williams, playing the character of John Keating in one of my most favorite movies, which is the Dead Poets Society.

And if you haven't seen that movie, I highly encourage you to check that one out, because it's perfectly appropriate for today's podcast.

Today, my amazing guest talks about this very topic of how we can guide our teenagers, our older kids, and if we start earlier with empathy and patience, it will help them develop better into better human beings into their teenage years and to young adulthood.

How we can also compete with how fast technology is moving, and how to help our teens discover their values so they can use them as their moral compass throughout life.

Welcome to the Dad Edge Podcast. The Dad Edge movement creates leaders of men, leaders of families, and leaders of communities.

We will not only impact this generation of fathers, but the next generation as well.

The kids we are raising will have better chances and odds stacked in their favor because of the amazing example that their fathers emulated for them.

We are here to change the world. We are here to change relationships. We are here to positively disrupt this generation of fathers so no man goes to their grave with regrets.

We disrupt the drift of busyness and replace it with razor-focused intention, passion, purpose, and direction.

We are the Dad Edge, and we're here to change the game.

What's up, gentlemen? Welcome to the Dad Edge Podcast. I'm Larry Hagner. I am your host and founder of this podcast show and movement.

Gentlemen, buckle your seat belts and get ready to meet Jeff Forster. He's a high energy coach with a true passion for helping others unleash their hidden potential.

He's got over 20 years of experience in corporate sales, marketing, and leadership, and he knows what it takes to achieve success.

His best moments were always when he saw people achieve more than what they thought they could, and in 2020, yes, that magical year.

He was inspired to write his first book, Unleashed Potential, simple steps to be the best version of yourself.

This inspiring read is filled with stories from Jeff's youth and lessons he wish he would have known back then.

He feels so strongly about sharing these lessons with others that he had to put them in a book. He's a husband, he's a father, a friend, and a professional,

and he brings a wealth of experience to his coaching relationships to help others unlock their full potential on critical thinking.

Why is this particular podcast different than other quote-unquote coaches? And that's because it's the demographic that Jeff actually helps.

He doesn't necessarily help us, the men and husbands that we are in our adulthood, he actually helps teenagers and young adults find their way and basically create the life that they want.

So starting very young, actually, and I was blown away by Jeff's message, and that's why I had to have him on, because we have coaches for adults, and we have coaches for business, and we have coaches for fitness, and all this other stuff.
