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

purpose, and direction.

We are the Dad Edge, and we welcome to the Dad Edge podcast.

I'm Larry Hagner, your host and founder of this podcast show and movement.

You know, today, today is a day. as you guys know, we do the wins, Wednesday member spotlight

or just somebody in the alliance.

And today we're not just highlighting a member, but we're also highlighting a leader.

And not just any leader, but someone who is now a published author.

And not just any leader who's a published

author in the alliance, but also a friend of mine that is near and dear to my heart. And I still

won't forget the day that this gentleman said yes and started doing life with us in the alliance

many years ago. And what I'll tell you guys, you know, while social media is a wonderful outlet for showing the highlight reel, it's also a place where you have no idea what's going on in somebody's life, right?

Last year for me, I mean, I think there's some perception out there that like I've got this all figured out

and nothing is further from the truth. In fact, I stumble every single day. I make mistakes

every single day. I have bouts of anxiety. I have bouts of even depression. I have bouts where I am in

an all-time low and don't know if I'm going to get out of it.
