Ever wonder how our family values and personal experiences shape our life's trajectory? Tune in as we sit down with Tim Biscoe, Vice President at Eliassen Group, who gives us an enlightening look into his journey.  You might recognize the last name of Tim as we had his father, Mark Biscoe, on earlier this year.

Today, you will hear one of the most powerful stories on this podcast: how Tim and his family supported his son in facing the challenge of multiple heart surgeries.  It's the news a doctor tells you that you never want to hear.  In the midst of these trials, Tim emphasizes the crucial role of family support and the power of love and resilience to overcome adversity. 

We also explore personal responsibility, the need to steer clear of the prevalent victim mentality, and the importance of making a positive impact. With stories from his fatherhood journey to his career path and his involvement in raising awareness for men's health with the Movember Fund, Tim's journey is nothing less than inspiring. He shares his experiences with gratitude and his love for his family and French Bulldogs.   We also discussed the significance of sports, fitness, and health in shaping goal-oriented mindsets— drawing from shared experiences playing football and rugby. 

From start to finish, this episode is a testament to the strength of family support, the power of love and resilience, and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, even in the face of adversity.

As we finish our conversation, we shed light on lessons from his life— such as the power of personal ownership, the importance of doing hard things, and harnessing a positive mindset.  His father, Mark, would always say, "Tim, It's up to you."  So far, Tim has stepped up and followed his father's advice, which I hope every other dad chooses to do as well.  It's up to us.

Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

It's his birthday, today.

David Raphael and Ilene Vogelstein are leaders of the Jewish Grandparents Network, a national organization that educates, connects, and supports grandparents as essential partners in enriching Jewish life. They join Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg for a conversation about how, perhaps counter-intuitively, the voices of many Jewish grandparents have been sidelined in Jewish institutional life -- along with sharing some ideas about how to shift that reality moving forward.

Hi!
I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.

Today, in Part 2,  we hear from my good friend Kristina Driscoll, who graduated from Pacific Lutheran University and worked as a financial advisor in pension consulting. She shares with us her journey of overcoming the obstacles in her life, such as raising her young son while caring for her husband with early onset Alzheimers and supporting their family.  She navigated her challenges with optimism and faith.  

If you haven't heard Part 1, you'll want to hear about her early years and the experiences that shaped her and built her faith and optimism.
 
In today's episode, you will learn:

*How Kristina helped her young son deal with his father's memory loss and deterioration with Alzheimers in age appropriate ways.

*The role Kristina's father played in her son's life and how he shared his own story of resilience to reassure his grandson.

*How Kristina dealt with her fears as a single parent, especially when she discovered she might have cancer, and what if she died, leaving her son with no parent?

*How Kristina gained comfort from her father's prayers and through prayer with her surgeon, plus her skiing miracle.
 
*What Kristina learned about grief and asking for help.

*The peace Kristina was given as she trusted God.

*Kristina was true to herself and her values, choosing her highest priorities.

*Her greatest success and living without regret.

How have you gained peace in your trials?
