080: How to Stay in the Driver’s Seat
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
09/17/24 • 12 min
We all have a default mode of operating – Our general disposition.
Maybe it’s intense go-go mode, or more of a slow, steady, calm mode.
The important thing to remember is that we get to control our mode.
It’s not hardwired.
You’re in the driver seat and your hand is on the gear shifter.
Being self-led means shifting down or up for the appropriate situations.
4th gear isn’t helpful while parenting or during an argument. 1st gear isn’t helpful when it’s time to work out or close a deal.
And sometimes, the most helpful gear we can put it in is park. To reset so we we can shift up from there.
Listen to today’s episode to learn why it all starts with presence. That’s how we access the self and become aware of what gear we’re currently in and what gear will be most helpful for the existing situation.
081: Is Your Life Harder than it Needs to be?
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
10/01/24 • 12 min
Are you making things more difficult for yourself?
Whether life feels pretty normal, or if you’re going through a rough patch, here’s an equation that’ll make things easier for you:
Suffering = Pain x Resistance
In other words, the more you resist the hard, the more you suffer.
Conversely, the more you embrace the “suck,” the easier things will flow for you.
Listen to today’s episode to learn exactly how to open up to the pain and stop making life harder than it needs to be.

040: Know What You're Aiming For as a Dad
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
12/12/23 • 19 min
Have you ever asked yourself, "What makes a good dad?" No being a hot head and... what else?
On this episode of the Durable Dad we go on the journey of defining a path in fatherhood.
We also dive into the depths of growth, both physical and emotional, as an integral part of parenthood. From pushing our children to develop holistically, teaching them kindness, patience, and respectfulness. And yes, we talk about how leading by example sometimes trumps instruction. But it's not all serious, so sit back and listen to remind yourselves to cherish the humorous side of fatherhood.
Whether you're brand new to the dad club, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, this episode promises to offer a fresh perspective on the art of being a good dad.

029: Stop Working for the Money
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
09/26/23 • 12 min
Today, we dissect the age-old wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and its insights on the purpose of work. We'll bring to light the damage we create by focusing on the reward rather than the process. Drawing parallels to our roles as fathers, we challenge the common perception of parenting success, advocating instead for a present-focused mindset that takes in the moments and detaches from the results. Join us as we break the chains of future outcomes and bask in the daily joys of being a father.

028: Are You Too Logical?
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
09/19/23 • 11 min
What if we've been using logic all wrong, letting it confine us and create barriers rather than connect us and move us forward? This episode will teach you how we misuse logic. You'll discover that true logic lies not in rigid pathways, but in exploring all available options, remaining open to differing perspectives, and noting the vitality of emotions, ethics, and situational awareness in decision-making.
Inspired by the wise leadership of Abraham Lincoln, we'll learn the value of gathering multiple viewpoints to make well-rounded decisions. We will unravel the concept that life does not adhere to a set logical pattern, making it crucial to recognize and respect others' opinions in our decision-making process. Tune in for a riveting discussion that will challenge your assumptions, expand your viewpoint, and equip you with the tools to lead a fuller, more enriched life.

064: Practice vs. Game Time
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
05/28/24 • 13 min
If life is a game, how do you want to perform?
And like any game, we gotta practice.
We can’t expect to play at a high level if we don’t put in the work outside of game time.
And it doesn’t take much.
Here are the top 3 drills you can run that’ll allow you to win in the game of life:
☝️ BREATH WORK. It’s a quick hack to lower the intensity of your emotions.
✌️ WATCH YOUR GAME FILM. Reflect on how you want to perform differently next time.
🤟 GET A COACH. Put in one hour each week to strategize, address issues, and implement tools, and you perform better in every area of life.
Tune in to start putting in the work so you can level up your performance as a dad, husband, leader, peewee baseball coach, financial provider, whatever role you play.

073: Dismantle Your Playbooks
Durable Dad with Tommy Geary
07/30/24 • 14 min
A playbook is a set of expectations we have for another person.
If you were the coach of a football team, you’d have a set of playbooks, and you’d expect your team members to play the game accordingly.
We do the same thing in life with ordinary people, except they rarely play according to our expectations.
And that’s why our kids’ can be friggen frustrating. Or our wife, employees, or parents...
The helpful thing to do is to take a look at your playbooks.
For example, if you’re holding a playbook for your wife, ask yourself:
- If I could wave a magic wand, how would I want my wife to act?
- If she behaved exactly the way I wanted, how would I feel? And what would I believe?
For for the final, big-kicker question:
- Can you believe that right now? Can you find evidence to support that belief without her changing?
The answer is almost always “yes.”
This is how we release tension from a relationship and stop trying to control the other person.
Listen to today’s episode so you can stop wishing the other person would change. You’ll both feel better, and it’ll be on your own terms.
