426: Conflict Resolution, Getting Triggered with Trauma, The Silent Treatment and Repairing Relationships with Jayson Gaddis
02/13/24 • 52 min
Today, I’m chatting with Jayson Gaddis. Jayson is an author, speaker, coach, and relationship expert with a knack for understanding human behavior. Jayson is the creator of the Interpersonal Intelligence® and Present Centered Relationship Coaching® and the Founder of The Relationship School, and has trained over 200 coaches in 11 countries.
In our conversation, we dig into the wounds that are created from conflict in our relationships and how to repair them. We share some facepalm moments with our family, the times when we lost it with our partners or kids and ended up making things worse. Jayson shares thoughtful insights on why that might happen, pointing to those unresolved issues from the past that sneak up on us.
You’ll also walk away with some practical advice and strategies on how we can change those patterns, connect more deeply with loved ones, and do it all without sacrificing our self-respect.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through...
- Trauma, triggers and the silent treatment
- Getting to the root of relationship issues
- Relationship conflict repair 101
- Listen first, then take responsibility

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys... when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.

427: Solo Adventures, Living a Bucket List Life and Conquering the Camino Frances with Chris Emick
Chris Emick is the CEO of Go Bucket Yourself, a community dedicated to living a bucket list life full of adventure, connection, growth, and creativity. If you check him out on Instagram, you’ll definitely get the whole picture.
Chris invested in real estate early with his corporate job and has created enough passive income to buy his time back by going on epic adventures (solo and with the family) and is also helping others create their own.
In our conversation, we’ll talk about the rewards of going on solo adventures to work on our ego, test our endurance and mindset, and practice gratitude. And, of course, you’ll definitely want to hear about the incredible 30-day adventure, hiking over 500 miles and climbing 6,000 feet of elevation on the Camino Frances.
You’ll also learn a valuable lesson from his rain gear story, how it’s a worthy investment when adventuring, what happens when you don’t have a good one, and how he solved the problem.
A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through...
- Doing ego work on solo adventures
- Vacation>recharge>drop back into chaos
- Conquering the Camino Frances
- A better rain jacket sure would be nice
- Applying lessons to real life struggles
- Creating imaginary force fields for protection
- Practicing spirituality and gratitude on the mountain
- The power of exploring nature alone
- Why Front Row Dads is a great fit for some, but not all
