Honoring Boundaries and Breaking Rules with Andrew Kuhn & Matt Drinkhahn - Part 1

A friend of mine reached out to chat the other day. And as much as I love to chat, I really just wanted to tell them that I had no time. Absolutely none. And that’s hard for me.

I don’t know about you, but time management and scheduling in my calendar really kicks my ass sometimes.

How do we actually get everything done in our schedules and then have time to be dads? How do we learn to set boundaries around saying no to certain things?

Luckily, we have Andrew Kuhn and ‘Coach’ Matt Drinkhahn on today’s two part episode talking to us about what’s proven to be effective in our calendars, where we fail, and how we learn from that.

These two family men are successful business owners, and members of Front Row Dads. Matt is a coach for recovering perfectionists and highly functioning workaholics, while Andrew is the owner of a real estate investment company—and they’re absolutely killing it.

They teach us about integrity in keeping our commitments, and knowing when to break the rules surrounding the boundaries you’ve made for yourself if something just isn’t working.You can’t buy time and what takes up that time is important. If you’ve ever struggled with figuring out the ebb and flow of work-life integration, you won’t want to miss today’s episode!

The Heart of the Spark with Jonathan Fields

As I get older there’s a lot less fear around being myself. I’ve become conscious of my truest nature and don't feel the need to seek approval from others. This has allowed me to feed my curiosity for learning while also being present for my kids, Tiger and Ocean.

My guest, the very humble Jonathan Fields, is talking about this exact change in self-perception, something he refers to as your Sparketype.

He believes that we change in depth, quality, and self-awareness as we get older—a shift that he talks about in his new book, SPARKED: Discover Your Unique Imprint for Work That Makes You Come Alive.

Jonathan is a speaker, award-winning author, and creator of multiple businesses. Today he takes a deep dive into our states of mind and shows us how we can come alive at work and at home.

Jonathan shares his thoughts on identity, his organic life lessons, and helps us balance the spectrum of fulfillment—something that we all struggle with as entrepreneurial dads.

Tune in to this amazing conversation that I know will spark your inspiration.
