A word from Lary: Hey guys, I’m Larry, founder of The Dad Edge.Half of my childhood without a father figure in my life and the other half with toxic father figures that came and went. I made one decision as a young boy, and it was that my kids would know who their father was. I knew firsthand, the devastating effects of growing up without a positive father figure in my life.When I became a father for the first time in 2006, it became clear that I didn’t have the skills to be the best for my sons. I was short on patience. I was quick to anger. My marriage was mediocre at best. I learned quickly that the desire to be a legendary father, man, and husband wasn’t enough. I had to learn the skills to actually do it. Our children are not born with manuals and the Journey of Fatherhood doesn’t necessarily come with a “map.” There are challenges, twists, and turns along the way.As much as we truly enjoy our children and being a father, we tend to internalize our struggles. When we do that, we get distracted and stressed out. As a result, we do not enjoy the journey of being a dad and husband as much as we would really like to.I finally decided in 2015, to start The Dad Edge Podcast and learn the skills from experts to live a legendary life as a husband, father, and man. Over the past 6 years, I have interviewed over 700 experts on: parenting, mindset, patience, communication, intimacy, optimizing health, and the power of community.I am the proud father of 4 energetic boys. The husband of my soul mate, Jessica for the past 18 years. Life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows every day. However, I learned skills to optimize my life as a man, husband, and father. If you are a lifelong learner and you don’t have this thing figured out…join me and let’s continue to learn together!Live Legendary!Larry HagnerYou can check out The Dad Edge here: https://thedadedge.com/
