The Man Of The House Who Matters - MTP402

The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women

Co-Host Brian Ahearn (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/story) My returning guest, Brian Ahearn, has recently published His Story, My Story, Our Story; which is a memoir about his life growing up with his Marine Corps father. But this isn't yet another biography from someone who was told he 'should write a book' because his life is so interesting. Rather, like Matthew McConoghey's Greenlights, it's more FOR you than ABOUT him. In discussing the book, Brian and I turn our discussion on fathers and sons toward what makes a man truly the head of the household rather than just another co-resident of it. Why do we have so many 'absentee parents' nowadays? What is the best way to instill trust in your wife and promote good behavior with your kids? What is a man to so when his young sons hit their 'knucklehead stage' around 9-12 years old? And what about when your teenage daughters hit their teen years? How do we as men lead so as to set the right vibe for our entire household...and indeed our entire life? What shocking ways can our wife and kids' lives outside the home be affected by that tone we set? What if the general 'conventional wisdom' on how to raise kids doesn't quite work for you as a dad? What do you do then? And finally, of course, knowing none of us are perfect dads and husbands, what do we do to make things right when the inevitable mistakes happen? Overall, a unique and valuable episode on a topic that's not discussed nearly often enough. Get show notes, free downloads and more at the newly updated https://mountaintoppodcast.com
