What are you doing to create structure and stay productive as you navigate the chaos of your life, both at home and at work?
How do you take a stand when you need to, have tough conversations, and take big risks to truly understand everything that’s out there?
If you’re looking for answers to questions like these, today’s conversation - one of my favorites I’ve had all year - is for you. I’m speaking with my friend Ben Crawford - someone with a truly deep understanding of how to challenge perspectives and push for more. He ran ultramarathons with his young kids, lived intentionally for a year with no rules, and hiked the Appalachian Trail with his wife and their six children - something he wrote about in his newest book, 2,000 Miles Together.
Even if you’re not quite ready to commit to an odyssey like Ben’s, if you want to know what you and your family are truly capable of, this episode is for you. We explore what it means to achieve your family’s full potential, the importance of questioning the status quo, and how to stop your ego from defining who you are.
Gold Nuggets
How to bring the same intentionality and sense of purpose you apply to your work life to your family. What makes writing a book feel so different from writing on social media. How to show your kids that there’s more to life than being praised. Why waiting for a dollar amount to prioritize something means you’re never going to make that change. How pattern interrupts and dramatic contrasts erase entitlement - and what happened when Ben and his wife hiked the Appalachian Trail.Big Questions Asked
Why is it so easy for us to put our home life on autopilot? How do our beliefs reinforce themselves over time, and how do they limit us? What do awards mean, and how should we handle awards when it comes to our kids? How do you get your kids to appreciate what you have in life and adopt a mindset of gratitude, regardless of how you’re doing financially? How do we value time over money in both theory and practice? Why does asking someone “What do you need?” actually put more of a burden on that person - and how can we take action instead? How does saying “I love you” become a form of gaslighting in relationships? What can you do this week - not two decades from now - to prioritize your relationships or make your life better?Get the Full Show Notes

While most dads would say that family matters most, the challenge is they feel guilty knowing their careers get the best of them, and their family seems to get the rest of them.
