In a world that’s always evolving, creativity and innovation is more critical than ever.

Today’s ‘great’ is tomorrow's 'good', and forward thinking can help us maintain greatness, but what happens when we can’t seem to see the forest through the trees when it comes to enhancing or evolving?

In this episode, Josh reads from his new book releasing in January titled “Leading a Legacy”, and shares 5 practical ways we can become more creative.

Disrupt Your Routine (6:15)

Stepping out of your comfort zone by being spontaneous can build your self-confidence and courage.

Embracing change and new experiences demonstrates your ability to adapt and thrive.

The more you welcome the unknown, the more resilient and confident you become, ready to face whatever life brings your way.

Be an Effective Communicator (7:26)

Effective communication begins with clear and confident expression. When you communicate, it's important to articulate your thoughts and ideas in a way that others can easily understand.

This means speaking or writing in a straightforward manner, avoiding jargon, or overly complicated language. By doing this, you ensure that your message is accessible to a wider audience, making it easier for others to engage with your ideas and information.

Ask and You Shall Receive (9:13)

Multiple minds are better than one! It’s important to ask questions, seek feedback, and embrace change as a pathway to personal growth and a brighter future.

What questions will you ask today, and what steps will you take to make a positive change in your life and the world around you?

Network (12:44)

Networking and collaboration is truly a win-win situation.

You gain access to a collective pool of knowledge and creativity, receive invaluable support, and build a network that can help you succeed in both your personal and professional endeavors.

So, don't hesitate to reach out to your peers and embrace the concept that multiple minds are indeed better than one. Together, you can achieve great things!

Embrace the Possibility of Failure (14:31)

Embracing the possibility of failure can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth.

When we acknowledge that failure is a natural part of life, we open ourselves up to new experiences and opportunities.

It's through our failures that we learn valuable lessons, develop resilience, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Instead of fearing failure, we should welcome it as a stepping stone on our journey to success.

Remember, many of the world's greatest innovators and achievers encountered failures along the way before reaching their goals.

Each episode, I try to bring you new ideas, new insights, and new information regarding all things leadership.

Whether it’s guests who bring incredible information, or topics we can all relate to like creativity and innovation, if you enjoy this podcast, I think you’ll enjoy my new book coming out in January titled Leading a Legacy, which dives into how we can live today to make an impact for tomorrow. The legacy we lead determines the legacy we leave, so stay with me, because more news about the book will be released in the coming weeks, but be on the lookout to pre-order your copy VERY soon!

Have a great day, everyone. Don’t forget to smile today. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, and keep leading well.

There are many parallels between entrepreneurship and raising a child. In the beginning, you cannot be fully conscious of the outcome. Both also can be exceptionally difficult at first but eventually you’ll start to see the results. As a society we place a large importance on the end result. Whether it be your business making headlines, finishing a big race or your child eventually growing up to be very successful; we often praise the end rather than the journey itself. 

This week, the DadCorp Podcast is joined by Tim Demoures, co-founder and managing director of Eloquens; the leading platform for sharing and selling professional best practices. He’s also a new father to 7-month old Rafael. 

Jonathan and Tim speak on this notion that the journey needs be appreciated instead of the end result. They apply this to entrepreneurship, raising a child and even video games. The guys go on to discuss the possible benefits associated with video games and screen time while also weighing the drawbacks. It’s interesting to consider the fact that these games can open kids up to valuable building skills, allow for creativity, development of strategy and even working with a team. These are all skills that can be applied and transferred to any business or career later in life. 

 Tim expresses the desire to place  focus on providing his child with the right tools, skills and qualities to find his “star.” He dislikes the more “old school” approach to education that has such a narrow emphasis on only certain disciplines. Math, literature and science are at the forefront and all the other subjects are considered secondary. In a system like this, “it’s hard to measure success but it’s easier to measure grades.” This method used in the educational system creates limitations around creativity and the building of an entrepreneurial spirit. Quoting Sir Ken Robinson,  when it comes to your child’s education, the key is not the knowledge itself but rather, how you lead your child to know their passion. There isn’t a one size fits all for education. 

 According to a TedTalk by Jennifer Senior, happiness for parents is a very high bar. For Jonathan, this changed his entire perspective on parenting. He started to view it for what it is, a crisis. The parents of today are anxious, stressed and nervous about providing the best upbringing for their children. 

 However, you cannot anticipate what your child’s future will look like. Tim asserts that since we cannot predict the outcome, as parents, we need to shift our focus to the journey and giving our children all the necessary tools to succeed. 

 3 Key Takeaways from the Discussion:

 1. Your child’s future is uncertain. We need to work towards knowing and understanding our children so we can provide them with the proper tools to succeed.  

 2. Raising a child is a lot like building a business. Both can be very challenging in the beginning phases, require a ton of work, pre-preparation. You will learn from your experiences and start to see the evidence of your efforts, it’s all worth it.  

 3. The way children learn is constantly evolving. With technology and the easy access to information, kids can learn things at a faster rate than older generations. Something that would take sifting through a 300-page book is now a quick Google search. It’s important to be open to actually learning from your kids, once in a while, instead of the other way around. As a father, it’s completely acceptable to not always have the answer.
