Summary

Ryan and Kipp dig into building and protecting the relationships that matter: how to communicate needs, spot relationships that no longer serve you, rebuild trust with children after long absences, and strike the balance between work, service, and family.

Along the way Ryan shares a harrowing (and hilarious) zipline rescue that reinforces why we should hold our loved ones close. Practical advice, real-world boundaries, and quick tactical habits (like rotating one-on-one lunches with kids) make this episode a toolkit for men working to show up better at home and in community.

There's this big zip line thing and there's 15 zip lines that you just work through a course.

0:04.7

They have two lines on this one so two people can go at the same time, one next to the other.

0:10.3

And I look up, I kid you not, the clip thing on the cable is smoking and sparking.

0:17.4

And I get right in the middle of the thing and it stops. And I am not going anywhere. And I'm dangling over the lake. And I look down and there's there's a couple guys fishing and they're looking up at me like, what the hell is this guy doing? Kip, what's up, man? Great to see you. I hope that you had a good week. It's Friday as of this recording. And it looks like we're both trying to close up shop for the week. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. It was a good

0:42.2

week. You know, I, here's my mantra. I was thinking about this this morning. Someone reached out to me

0:47.3

on social media while I was at the gym and they're like, hey, how are things going? And,

0:51.9

and my response to them was, I'm in it. There's a bunch of things

0:57.3

that I've been somewhat of a passenger or passive around. And I'm not, I'm in this space of like,

1:05.7

no, that's not going to work for me. I need to be a little bit more assertive, aggressive,

1:09.5

and go after whatever it is that is bothering

1:12.5

me and or that I want and not just sit back and wait. So I'm actually in a good place.

1:19.0

In the middle of it though, right? Like I'm kind of like, oh man, I need to do these things.

1:23.1

There's some uneasiness, right? But I was also thinking about this, and I'd love to get your thoughts on this,

1:28.9

is it's actually in the unknown that anything's possible. And so the unknown is what's required

1:40.2

for possibility to be created, but it's also very uncomfortable, right, when you're not sure

1:45.8

what's next or what are you doing or it's uneasy, but.

1:50.8

Yeah, and I mean, it has to be in the unknown because if possibility existed in the known,

1:55.5

then you'd already be achieving new possibilities and you're not.

1:58.6

So it's got to be found somewhere other than where you're

2:01.3

currently looking, right? But you're right. It is very uncomfortable and really unsettling at

2:08.8

times and uneasy. But I think the key is just to know that you're doing it for the right

2:16.0

reason. You know that you're knocking on doors that haven't previously been open to you. And it's the price that you're doing it for the right reason you know that you're knocking on doors that
