Episode 12 with Ben Byfield
Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. What people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity - Aaron Swartz Ben is a movement practitioner, teacher, an extremely curious human and a student of life but he is also a Dad. In this episode Ben shares profound wisdom and deep insights about growing up, life and fatherhood. From growing up as a single child with parents that provided experiences and opportunities to heading overseas by himself to experience life for himself, to what it means to be a Dad. It's all in this episode. There are many people who have book smarts but very few people actually practice what they preach and deeply embody who they say they are, Ben is one of these people. The greatest opportunity to truly Walk the Walk came when he became a father. Enjoy this episode with Ben Byfield.

Episode Ten with Stephanie Pinto
Stephanie Pinto is an emotional intelligence parent and coach. Stephanie helps stressed out parents manage kids BIG emotions and behaviour to bring calm back into the home. Stephanie is a reformed shouty parent who transformed her own home life and now is on a mission helping other parents by combining Emotional Intelligence knowledge, 12+ years of work in the paediatric field, and new research available on neuroscience of children’s emotion and behaviour. I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Stephanie by speaking in her massive Facebook group Let's Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids which boasts 14000 members and have also been fortunate enough to have guest penned a blog for her website. The greatest transformative change happened when my wife an I undertook Stephanie's 8 week Chaos to Connection EQ course. Personally this was a course that stretched me not only as a parent but personally and has had a massive positive impact on our home life. Stephanie talks about what emotional intelligence is and how it can be so powerful not just for our kids but for parents. There is so much value here and it's the perfect episode if you are currently dealing with BIG emotions in your house. Stephanie is an absolute master at what she does and a someone who is truly operating in her gift.

Episode Nine with Cody Jarvis
Cody Jarvis is an extremely humble Dad who had an extremely simple approach to his unique story, 'Show up and be all in.' Going from 0 kids to 3 was 'natural' for Cody, supported by his amazing partner Shenai, Cody was welcomed as part of the family with loving arms. His simple approach is a testament to the character of Cody and personally I have a huge amount of respect for him and his story. Cody's story hasn't been without its challenges both personally and in his relationship but this has allowed for perspective and to cherish being in the present moment. Cody shares some amazing wisdom through his approach to parenting and opens up beautifully about his experience.................... Please find and connect with me on Instagram @adadliftingdads

Episode Five with Phil Dolan
Phil Dolan is an extremely proud dad and it's an honour to have him here for episode five of the Dads Lifting Dads podcast. Growing up in a house and in a time when love necessarily wasn't shown through physical affection or words of affirmation, Phil was adamant that his family and his children would overflow with this abundance. It was a running joke with family and friends that his daughter was never going to learn to walk because for the first few years Phil didnt want to put her down. This sums up Phil in a nutshell, an extremely huge heart and one of the most passionate people i have come across. Phil and i have had many conversations over the last few years but my most favourite ones have always been about family. Phil has been like my crystal ball in a sense, with 2 older kids there has been many chats about the many learnings of parenting. Phil is an extremely humble dad that doesnt attribute any great teachings to the amazing kids he has raised. For me this only highlights the importance and power that just being in your kids life, being present and nuturing this special bond can do to create an incredible relationship. Phil is someone i have long admired as a dad and its my pleasure to dive deeper in this episode with him as i welcome Phil to the Dads Lifting Dads podcast. Please find me and connect with me @adadliftingdads on Instagram.

Episode Three Part One with Nick Senam
Nick owns and operates a successful barbershop here on the Central Coast. The Private Studio is more than a barbershop and Nick has opened the doors of his studio over the last year to a huge number of community events. This is a huge testament and statement to the type of human Nick is. Nick is a barber, entrepreneur, videographer, photographer, instagrammer, you tuber and all the other ‘Ers most notably though he is a Father. And as you may have already guessed it, Nick is an extremely busy man and it’s the reason the episode in split into two parts. As busy as he is Nick always has time for the two loves in his life. His amazing wife Hannah and his adoring daughter Elliot. In this episode Nick jams so much value in this short time and his philosophy on being a dad left a huge mark on myself personally. Nicks number one goal is to have more happy moments than sad moments with his daughter Elliot. Such a simple goal which I believe everyone should aspire to. We leave the episode on a great cliff hanger, which I am keen to dive into on part two but for now please enjoy part one with Nick Senam………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Dads Lifting Dads is a diverse community of dads coming together to celebrate our challenges and rejoice in our successes.
