    enApril 22, 2021

    Podcast Summary

    • Unexpected stories in everyday lifeEmbrace the unexpected, find humor in mundane situations, and appreciate the power of sharing experiences

      Life can surprise us with unexpected events, even in the most mundane situations. The podcast discussion revolves around various stories, including a vibrator incident at a hotel and a voice note rant about home accounts. These stories highlight the importance of keeping an open mind and finding humor in the unexpected. The podcast hosts also emphasized the potential for interesting stories and gossip in various professions, particularly those in the hospitality industry. The hosts' relaxed and humorous approach to storytelling makes for an engaging listen, showcasing the power of sharing experiences and finding joy in the unexpected.

    • Mindful Social Media Use and Respecting Others' PrivacyBe considerate of others on social media by avoiding sharing excessive event details, respecting privacy, and being aware of your impact on public spaces.

      Social media, specifically home and wedding accounts, can sometimes be a source of frustration for some people due to the excessive sharing of details that are better saved for the actual event. The excitement of planning can lead to creating accounts to gather ideas, but it can also result in spoiling the surprise for others. Additionally, some parents may unintentionally share embarrassing stories, leaving their children feeling mortified. It's essential to be mindful of others' experiences and respect their boundaries. Another issue discussed was people disregarding others' presence while using public spaces for walking or exercising. Overall, it's crucial to be considerate of others and maintain a balance between sharing and respecting privacy.

    • Navigating Daily Life's Unexpected ObstaclesCreativity and adaptability are essential in dealing with daily life's challenges, whether it's slow-moving families or personal health issues. Humor and a positive attitude can help us find joy in the unexpected.

      Navigating daily life with unexpected obstacles, such as large families taking up entire pathways or personal health issues, can present challenges that require creativity and adaptability. The speaker expresses frustration with the inconvenience caused by a family's slow pace and the need to go around them, but also looks forward to upcoming events and appointments. She also reveals her unusual fascination with syphilis and expresses her desire for outdoor peeing as a form of liberation. Overall, the speaker's monologue showcases the complexity and unpredictability of everyday life, as well as her resilience and sense of humor in the face of challenges.

    • Embarrassing stories from teenage yearsMaking mistakes and experiencing embarrassing moments are a natural part of growing up, and learning from them helps us grow as individuals.

      Mistakes and embarrassing moments are a natural part of life, especially during our teenage years. The speaker shared an embarrassing story from her past about making a regrettable decision while drunk and the resulting consequences. She had overindulged at a friend's 18th birthday celebration and ended up vomiting in her ex-boyfriend's house, which his mother had to clean up. The experience was mortifying for her, but it serves as a reminder that everyone makes mistakes and that it's important to learn from them. The speaker also shared a common experience of ordering a late-night McDonald's after a night out. While the story was cringe-worthy, it showed that everyone has had their fair share of embarrassing moments and that it's all part of growing up.

    • Everyone has had embarrassing momentsLearn from past mistakes and move forward with humor, everyone experiences embarrassment at some point in life

      No matter how old we get or how much we've grown, we all make mistakes and have embarrassing stories from our past. The woman in this story had an experience of unintentionally exposing herself and making a mess during a drunken night, leading to an awkward situation with her partner's mother. Similarly, the brother in another story accidentally urinated in his parents' bed while in a drunken state, causing a significant embarrassment. These stories serve as reminders that everyone has had moments of mortification and that it's essential to learn from our mistakes and move forward with a sense of humor. It's also important to remember that our parents, despite their strict and private demeanor, have had their fair share of embarrassing experiences too.

    • Parents' reactions shape relationshipsParents' actions and reactions can significantly impact their relationships with their children and others. Taking responsibility for one's actions and being courteous are essential values.

      Parents deal with unexpected and challenging situations, and their reactions can shape relationships significantly. In the shared story, a teenager's friend soiled a new mattress and urinated in the parents' car. The parents did not react kindly, and the friendship ended. The speaker felt that the friend's mother should have offered to replace the mattress, but she did not. The incident left a lasting impact, and the speaker suggested that having children involved in positive hobbies could help prevent such situations. The story illustrates how parents' experiences and reactions can shape their relationships with their children and others. It also highlights the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and the value of courteous behavior.

    • Obsessing over others' lives instead of focusing on own happinessInstead of focusing on others' lives and criticizing, invest time in personal growth and hobbies for greater happiness.

      Some people spend an excessive amount of time and energy focusing on the lives of others, often with the intention of criticizing or "slagging off" them online. This behavior, as described in the conversation, can be confusing and sad, as these individuals seem to have a strange obsession with those they supposedly dislike. They may follow social media accounts, listen to podcasts, and even delve into personal details to fuel their negative comments. It's important to remember that life is about living and focusing on one's own happiness rather than getting lost in the lives of others. The individuals engaging in such behavior may be doing so due to boredom or a lack of fulfilling hobbies in their own lives. The conversation also touches upon the fact that these critics may secretly enjoy the content they are criticizing, as they continue to listen to the podcast despite their supposed disdain for it. The speakers express their confusion and frustration with this phenomenon, emphasizing the importance of focusing on one's own life and happiness rather than getting caught up in the negativity of others.

    • Sharing vulnerable moments and embracing life's unexpected twistsEmbrace life's unpredictability and be open to others' stories to build meaningful connections

      Life can be unpredictable and embarrassing at times. The speaker experienced an embarrassing situation when she accidentally sat in someone else's period blood on a park bench. She felt sorry for the woman and went into panic mode, trying to clean herself up discreetly. Later in the conversation, another woman confessed that she is gay, marking a significant moment in her life. The speaker expressed her admiration for the woman's courage and encouraged her to be proud of herself. Both women shared vulnerable moments, highlighting the importance of being true to oneself and embracing the unexpected twists and turns that life brings. Overall, the conversation reminded us that everyone has stories to tell and that being open and accepting of others' experiences is essential for building meaningful connections.

    What Type Of Thinkers Are In Your Family?  Season 5, Episode 43

    Which path is right for me? Am I missing the mark? How do I inspire a "Life Long Learner"? How do I navigate all the overwhelming choices out there for educating my child? What type of thinker are they, and does that matter? How in the world do I motivate my kid (or myself) to learn new things?

    First, It's All About Sales

    It's so important to build relationships - and the sales model we speak on in business also works with families.

    • 40% - Developing rapport and trust
    • 30% - Identifying need
    • 20% - Product Knowledge
    • 10% - Gaining commitment

    How can you apply this in your home, you ask? How easy is it to demand compliance in your home? When you walk in and bark orders, how does that energy feel? If you build trust and rapport; if you earn the right to request, it's a whole different ballgame. When we barrel through and make demands, just like in high-pressure sales, it can turn your family off and shut them down. It's important to go through this process of sales even in your own home. We have to get out of the mindset of sales being a bad thing and consider it with a different context - serving. When you believe in something and are excited about how it can help others, you can become an expert salesperson. You aren't limited by "sales", but empowered by how you can serve. With our children, this model is powerful when it comes to getting them to try new things, learn difficult concepts, etc. This week I'm trying out a hodge-podge of goodness. A little bit of blog, a little bit of podcast, and a little bit of video. Let me know what you think! On Tuesdays at 10 Central, I'm doing FaceBook Live events on different topics - and, when applicable, I'll add them into the blog. This one definitely is - check it out!

      In the podcast, we dig deep into the Life Long Learner Snapshot - it's amazing what insights you can get out of this, and how you can motivate...or "sell" your child, partner, etc in a way that really resonates with them. life long learner functional education Before information can be retained, you need to recognize how you perceive it.  It is your perception of the information that helps you soak it in - not your level of intelligence, but how you are taking it in.

    Are you an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner?

    Auditory Learning Styles

    Use their voices and ears as the primary mode for learning. They remember best what they have heard and what they themselves expressed verbally.

    Visual Learning Styles

    Like to see words in written form, an illustration in graphic form, or assignments clearly described in written form. They like to follow instructor’s lessons visually with handouts, graphs, and graphics.

    Kinesthetic Learning Styles

    Learn better when they touch or are physically involved with what they are studying. These learners want to use trial and error in order to remember and comprehend concepts.

    Music & Fatherhood During Uncertain Times With Jesse Terry

    Music & Fatherhood During Uncertain Times With Jesse Terry

    Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast we spoke singer/songwriter and father, Jesse Terry. We talk to Jesse about his being a father, but also about his music and being able to balance his craft and creativity, and fatherhood during COVID-19.

    About Jesse Terry

    After 10 years of full-time touring, with six mostly fan-funded albums and three EPs under his belt, Connecticut born singer/songwriter Jesse Terry's seventh album, When We Wander (out May 14 on Wander Recordings), is the first he wrote since becoming a parent. So, it's no surprise the family theme courses through many of its 12 songs. His music career has been a family project ever since he became a full-time touring artist a decade ago. That was right around the time when Jesse met his wife Jess working on a cruise ship in the South Pacific. "As soon as we got back to the states, I proposed to her at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe in July 2010 and we packed up the car for the first tour right after that. We've been touring together full-time ever since." Now with two-year-old Lily added to the clan, family is more important than ever to him, including the parental urge to love and protect. The life of a touring family inspired the album's title track. "When we wander, when we wander / Don’t it feel like we’re finally found." But in the face of the pandemic, he has found that "wandering is not just a literal thing. We've followed our hearts with so many decisions in 2020-2021, and have found that there are many ways to wander and be free and brave." The stage had been Jesse's home for a decade. He plays around 150 shows a year, from Bonnaroo to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the 30A Songwriters Festival to AmericanaFest. When the pandemic canceled concerts and delayed the album's release, he pivoted to performing online and found a strong new connection to his fans, who had helped fund his albums all along. "My musical tribe has always been there for me," he says with gratitude. This time of great uncertainty, he says, "has really taught me how to move forward and make use of every second." The livestream concerts have "become the highlight of my week and the thing that sustains us emotionally and financially. And an amazing community has sprung up from these concerts." Recorded in 2019 in Nashville with producer Neilson Hubbard (Mary Gauthier, Glen Phillips), the songs off the new album have really clicked with fans online. He and his band recorded When We Wander live in the studio, a first for his career. "I wanted to try that Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young approach to live recording, prioritizing emotion and raw performances over perfection. I loved that experience." Recorded live, the album resonates especially with the intimacy and community spirit of the online shows. Ironically, 2021 may prove to be the most productive year of his career, with both a covers album and a holiday album coming hot on the heels of When We Wander. And so, we circle back to appreciation and gratitude in the face of unexpected changes. "I don't take a second of my career or my life for granted. I always continue to fight for it and to reach higher and strive to be a better artist and human being." As he sings in "Pretty Good Hand" off the new album: "I don’t know if I’ll ever ride in no fancy limousine, but…I got somebody who understands, And that’s a pretty good hand."
