Fathers Of The Future

Luke is on location at Sip Coffee and Beer with owner Josh Katz.  In addition to congratulations on the success of the business, Luke congratulates Josh on becoming a father.  Josh says it’s hard to believe that he’s a father, but it’s been the greatest gift he’s ever been given.  He says the closest he can come to describing the feeling is that it’s like Christmas every day.  Josh is also on cloud nine with his newest business venture, 36 Below, a 90-minute immersive experience that was inspired partly by Covid and bringing the outside in.  During their talk, Josh and Luke discuss things like:

--

Luke has his nephew Rider out to Scottsdale, AZ for a visit.  Rider says he can see a future for himself in podcasting, so in turn for reading twenty pages of The Stoic, Luke is allowing Rider to interview him.  Together with Luke’s daughter Camille, Rider has a lot of great questions for Luke.  They talk about what they’ve been up to during their time together, ask some interesting questions, and have a few laughs.  During this very special episode of Father’s Of The Future, we touch on things like:

In this week’s Father’s of the Future Experience I am joined by my good friend Patrick Louw. Recently Patrick completed the Crucible training, which he describes as the most challenging physical and mental awakening. As a father and husband, Patrick says the Crucible has been a life changing, transformative experience.

In this week’s Father’s of the Future Experience, I am joined by Todd Sechrest.  Todd and I have only known each other for a little over a month but we’ve had such an immersive time together I feel like I know him really well.  Todd is a true father of the future with a baby girl due June first.  He shares how the last month has changed him, finding gaps and bridging them.  

With the help of the Crucible training experience he’s gone from good to great to extraordinary.  He can now say with certainty that his daughter will never see the man that makes excuses for himself.  She won’t see a man that lets other people's opinions define him but a man that makes his own destiny.  He was shown that he’s strong and how he’s been making things harder than they need to be.

In this week's Father’s of the Future Experience, I am joined by my good friend Josh Middagh.  Josh shares with us that he never wanted to be a father, he thought he was too selfish to give what a child needs.  It wasn’t until his own father passed away unexpectedly that Josh began to look at things differently.  Josh went through a period of depression and wondered what was the point to life.  Two years after his loss he would visit a therapist that would encourage him to start writing about his feelings.  Josh shared what he wrote with his wife and she was in tears.  Josh’s wife told him he not only needed to keep writing but that he needed to write a book.  Josh decided to use the writing experience to reclaim his purpose in life. Knowing a lot of men struggle with grief and feelings Josh wanted to give them the tools to navigate those feelings.  He’s a firm believer that when you don’t have something to pour into you don’t have purpose.  Not only did Josh reclaim his purpose with writing he decided he was ready to be a father.  In adopting his daughter he had another person to pour into all that his dad had poured into him.

In this week’s Fathers of the Future Experience, I am joined by a true father of the future expecting his first child in September. My friend Jorge Aragon entered my life eight years ago when we met at a fitness competition. I was intrigued by Jorge’s determination and have witnessed him tackle everything he’s set out to do.

Unfortunately, last year Jorge had a major knee injury that resulted in a massive reconstruction surgery. After an initial low period, Jorge decided to turn to his biohacking knowledge to begin to heal. For anyone that’s unfamiliar with what biohacking is, BulletProof Coffee’s Dave Asprey defines it as “the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside you so that you have full control over your own biology.” When Jorge was at a standstill externally, he started working on the internal first. With biohacks such as breathing exercises he was able to overcome his anxiety of not being able to move like he used to.

Through Biohacking, Jorge has slowly but surely come back stronger than ever. He’s a firm believer that our bodies need to perform at the highest possible level for our brains to perform at the same level. Just last week, he and I ran down the Grand Canyon in under 2 hours, which was a true test of how far he has come. Now Jorge is eager to bring biohacking to the masses and help others to alleviate their pain and become the best version of themselves.

During this podcast experience we’ll discuss things like…

In this week’s Fathers of the Future Experience, I am joined by my favorite barber Prince. We all have people that guide us and Prince has been a guiding light since the day he gave me my first faux hawk with words of wisdom from behind the barber's chair.

A decade later, he’s still one of the greatest men I know, assisting me in my growth as a man and a father. Prince shares the lessons he’s learned from his father, and the lessons he’s learned as a father. Prince says parenting can be broken down into three key phases; from ages 0-5 you have to teach your child everything from how to eat to how to walk and talk, from ages 6-12 you’re tweaking everything you’ve taught them, and from 13-18 you have to stop teaching and start guiding. 

With his son in his junior year of college, Prince has had to take a step back and let his son learn from the example he has provided. Prince has talked to his son about his goals, his journey, and his path. At times Prince has had to redirect his son, but now he finds himself on autopilot, no longer teaching but simply guiding.  As Prince says, if you win, you win, if you don’t win, you learn.

During this podcast experience, we’ll touch on things like…

LETS ROLL... Season III is officially HERE along with a new intro I am proud to introduce our first Fathers of the Future guest Pat "PK" Kelleher. 

Pat's journey to becoming the man he is today has not been easy, simple, or smooth. 

A tough upbringing from a small Irish suburb in Boston known around the world as a "Southie".

Pat's heritage and legacy are as powerful as his swing from the left side of the plate.

In this experience, you will learn how one man overcame some of life's greatest challenges

Fathers of the Future Podcast Experience #62 Grateful Dad with Marc Fisher

In this week’s Fathers of the Future Experience, I am joined by my Dynamic Duo partner Marc Fischer, President of Sales for Origin Acoustics, an audio and sound company originally founded in Riverside, California in 1976.

Decades later and through the transformation of the entire industry our mutual friend Jeremy Burkhardt solved a problem [Covid 2020] and put us together to deliver inspiration, education, and entertainment via ZOOM to not only the staff of Origin but their entire distributors across the country. We took our traveling roadshow across America creating over twenty unique and original KEYNOTE presentations on…

Listening to this Podcast Experience will give you insights into…

For an outdoor episode of Fathers of the Future at South California, Luke catches up with a tattoo artist, Greg Pugh, his mutual friend from one of the fathers featured in the past podcast episode. Amidst an uptight, frightening, and stressful pandemic, Greg entails how he shifts away from a “shit” routine to manage his time as a father, husband, and an upward spiral of success as a tattoo artist.

The typical description of everyone’s lifestyle during the pandemic is either boring, dull, or repetitive, but this does not apply to Greg. As a father, Greg describes his life as a “rollercoaster” because of various adjustments he had to make. Greg and his family had to deal with shutting down protocols, not being able to go out, and other shifting routines that the pandemic caused in his life.

On a busy day of a father and laborer like Greg, there would be a power hour, usually a morning mindset activation routine, for week one to battle against the industry of late-night workers. However, now that there’s COVID, Greg now wakes up late with his daughter and merely sits around being unproductive.

Not until he realized one day that he had to change this stagnant routine as it is nothing beneficial to him anymore. Greg now wakes up early in the morning, gets dressed, does fifty push-ups, writes journal entries on his two journals, and reads a minimum of ten pages of a book, giving him a purpose every day to keep himself away from stagnation.

Greg carries on multiple roles in his life, but he only wants to be remembered as a person who “truly cares about everyone I come in contact with” as he genuinely loves people. Even though it sounds feminine, Greg wants his family to know that he loves them more than anything in the world, and he is happy as he put himself in a comfortable place to be a better guy.

The event on September 11, 2001, also known as the “9/11” brought the brave men, such as the military armed forces, firefighters, and police officers, out of their comfort zones to fight terrorist attacks and bombings. Learn about how such events gave wisdom to them and how they give back to the country by paying it forward to their fellowmen. This series aims to inspire many and to give tribute to these brave men.

One of these brave men is Craig Legory, a US veteran who served in the navy. He shared his experience during 9/11. He was destined in Okinawa, Japan, wherein a typhoon was coming through. Checking up the television, they knew about the chaos happening in the World Trade Center. They had a dynamic evening from typhoon readiness to imminent attack readiness.

The transition after the 9/11 event may be traumatic for many, but for Craig, it was unique because it gave them brand new and upgraded gears. He continued his service in the US Navy, going through training exercises and jumping from destination to destination.

Currently, he is a single father who faces the challenge of juggling work, doing household chores and supporting his children in their endeavors. In this challenging time, he gives importance to communication and schedule, remaining focused on the things he does.

His military experience made him the man he is now, which made him grateful as it tested his abilities, made him better, and kept him humble. The way to pay it forward is to teach his children the lessons that will help them in life.

According to Craig, they should make every day better than yesterday. The actions they take today shape the future they are going to have tomorrow. He reminded them to take responsibility for their actions; hence, they should maximize everything. Lastly, they should listen to others’ opinions, but they should be the ones to make the ultimate decision.

Ask them better questions, go DEEP. 

Be real, raw and authentic.
Love them HARD. Love them UNCONDITIONALLY

#2 Set INTENTIONS and create space for REFLECTIONS

Together they make a POWERFUL combination

Ask yourself often… 

How did I do? 

What could I have done better? 

What needs improvement? 

With no judgment this is the art and science of self-awareness and discipline

#3 Gratitude is the secret weapon of high-performing Fathers

Start your day [Gratitude Journal] in a place of honor, love and joy

It’s hard to be mad or upset when you are in a place and space of appreciation and gratitude

The GAME of FATHERHOOD is about relentless commitment and unwaivering FOCUS.

In the first inspiring episode of Season II of the Fathers of the Future Podcast, it is my distinct honor to introduce to you one of the most genuine, loving and passionate people you will ever meet in your life.

He just so happens to be my Uncle, Alan Adamo and one of the only men to have positively influenced and impacted my life as a child and now as a Father.

In his first podcast ever at the legendary age of 76 years young, Alan shares some of his own foundations of success and what has now become his living legacy.

Playing competitive basketball, teaching college, serving others, world travels and throwing an annual Super Bowl party since 1978 are just a few ways Uncle Al is living his best life and a few ways you can learn how to live yours!

Things really hit hard as his Mother survived her own cancer scare and his firstborn daughter was facing a few challenges of her own.

Through sheer will and determination along with a POWERFUL community and the support of his wife Tiffany, Bob has turned his entire life over to service and helping those in need.

In the 10 plus years I have known Chris, not once have I ever left him, a conversation or interaction without feeling good, positive and highly appreciative.

Two years ago Chris set out to run his first 5k, having lived as a Type I Diabetic since the age of 8, it was always easier to use the disease as a limiting belief, not an empowering challenge.

Fast forward to now and Chris is training for his first half Ironman and has his heart set out on a full in the future.

Supported by both parents growing up, Chris learned to Hustle since the age of 14 when he founded his first startup.

A video editing and eventual streaming service long before iPhones and live social media.

Diagnosed with Type I Diabetes forced Chris to be vulnerable to others about the disease and how to be strategic, analytical and even Biohack his health long before it was a Buzz word.

Chris evolved into a great leader, husband, and Father destined to change the game on parenthood and craft his own version of fatherhood, from how his own parents operated.

Chris committed early on in his marriage by Investing in his wife and makes her the priority Vs anyone or anything else.

Chris also evolved as an Entrepreneur selling one startup after college, creating several more and ultimately launching what is now known to be Trainual, a training manual for your business.
