We are men. We are warriors. We are dads. Dads with a purpose. Dads with an edge. We sharpen

our skills so we can show up best for others.

We have one shot in life to be a dad.

Why not make it epic?

Guys, what's up? It's Larry Hagner with the Good Dad Project podcast. Welcome to Five Minute Thursdays, episode 12. So guys, I'm going to mention a couple

links in this show. Make sure for all the links that we mentioned you go over to gooddad project

dot com forward slash Thursday 12 that's Thursday one two guys welcome so we had a

show this past week that was awesome I mean I obviously I think all of them are awesome and judging from all the feedback I get you guys are liking them too, but rich role. I mean, how about that? I mean, we had rich role on, man, he was really hard to nail down, but he just gave an incredible interview and I think the theme that you guys are really going to see from from this episode and the next one we have this coming week with Shane Ramer which I can't recommend that

episode highly enough is dads who somewhat deal with addiction okay whether

that's dealing with drugs where that's dealing with alcohol whether that's dealing with drugs, whether that's dealing with alcohol, whether it's dealing with pornography,

dealing with whatever it is. I mean, we all have some level of addiction, whether it's on a scale of one,

you know, meaning it really doesn't affect my life too much to 10 to

and that's where I would probably consider maybe you know Shane or next guess maybe

he was he was on a scale of like 8 to 10 where it was really really affecting his

relationships and you guys will hear all about that in his interview next

week but I just

depends I mean, I just want to talk about this theme of addiction, you know, we eat a ton of sugar, you know, it just depends. I mean, some of us are addicted to pornography, some of us are addicted to work, you know, we're workaholics, so we have all kinds of

levels of addiction in our life and it's really just identifying what is your addiction,

what is really pulling you away from attention that you could be placing somewhere else?

I mean, I'll even say that there are some guys out there. I mean, I think there's a saying that you can never be too healthy, but to be honest, there are people that are

that are so obsessed with their health that they spend hours and hours and hours in the gym or training are doing whatever and their life even though it's quote unquote a healthy habit there's parts of their

addicted even to a healthy habit.
