Episode 308: Fatherhood is about those memories with your kids that start off small at first then became a moment in time thast must be preserved. In this episode I share the perfect "vbro" weekend with my Son Nathan as we watched and entire day of pro golf at the US Open, from one spot. Without sitting. All day. Without moving. Was it umcomfortable? Hell yeah. Would I trade the day with my son for anything else, never. Being present even when it hurts.

I recently visited a book store, you remember them. Went straight to the leadership, management, and self help section searching for that one book that will be the one. The one book that has the secret to success and after reading it would surely make me the best I can be. Join me in this epsidoe where I break down the personal struggle feeiling like you are just not good enough versus feeling like there is plenty of evidence of your own success, you just fail to see it because success is just to scary.

Episode 306: It's been a week since my last episode was published. A week with manay things that happened and many things didn't. In this pod I reflect on what it means to get older and use the time that we have before we run out of time to spend. I share how old people looked when I was young, how it feels to be approaching 50 now, and the time we still have to make a difference or simpoly make a change. Cheers and thanks for listening.

Episode 305 : Since starting the new "season" of the show, the weekends have been crazy. The weekends are the days that belong to us. After a hard week of work and earning we work around the house and throw our feet up waiting for the new work week to start. However, the universe doesn't care what day of the week it is. In this episode I share what has occupied our weekends since my dog Lucky went toe to toe with a stray cat, and ponder the question, "Is it worth constantly preparing for the ongoing events in our lives we can't anticipate or do we just accept the moment and deal?"

Episode 301 : It doesnt seem like episode 301 but I had to start season 2 somewhere. In this brand new show after a five year hiatus, I really wanted to get you up to speed on what you missed since we turned the mics off back in 2020. I'm excited to be back, both personally and creatively. I look forward to connecting like I have done these many years, especially for those of you that continue to listen to the show since 2020. Many topics to discuss, experiences to reflect on, and new friends to make. Hell, I'll be 50 this year and I'm hungry to meet new people. Cheers and thanks for listening.

(Kinda) Episode 200 First, if this is the first time listening, you have a lot of podcasts to catch up on. To conclude a five-year-long podcast personal journal, I ask Sam Seitles (Pillars of Hammonton) to join me for a walk through of my most favorite and not so favorite show exoeriences. I share more of what was really going on behind-behind the mic and open this diary one more time before turning these mics off (until the next new podcast adventure, of course). Thanks for downloading and listening to this show and being with me for these last five years. I challenge you to do the same and tell your story so you too can make a lasting impact on someone else.

Eps 126 - I recently had an opportunity where the universe fed me an answer to a conundrum, encompassed in an email. In this episode I share how I discovered that a podcast client of mine was ready to move on and ironically, I think I was too. With a client's expectations changing, I had to realize that I had to get with the program or move on myself and moving on is what growing is all about.

Eps 125 - There has been a ton of judgement out there on the news with this recent impeachment trial. It's easy to turn the news off but even without it, does the judgement stop? We are conditioned to pass judgement the moment we realize and fear that the world will figure out who we really are. Imperfect. In this brief episode I share where we see this judgement, why I think it exists, and a declaration to say to all of you STOP JUDGING!

Ep 124 - For a long time I understood that binging anything was a bad thing. Indulging a short period devoted to an activity to excess, whether it be eating or drinking, can be harmful if done on a frequent basis. But times have changed. The word "binge" has taken on a new meaning with the ridiculous amount of content for us to consume, virtually everywhere. After nearly a year of podcasting solo I invited entrepreneur, business coach, and host of the Successfully Screwed Podcast, Sara Rosenberg, for a late night chat on the mic. We share our history of the word "binge" and the good and bad of what we indulge in today. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, it all depends. LISTEN and FOLLOW Sara and her co-host Ashley Owen on their Successfully Screwed Podcast. The podcast takes a different approach to kicking you in the pants in an attempt to motivate you to hang in there and keep grinding as an entrepreneur! https://www.successfullyscrewedpodcast.com SHARE, RATE, SUBSCRIBE & DOWNLOAD PAST EPISODES on any podcast player on Android or iOS.

Eps 123 - WIth the New Year upon us, it's customary for us to change something we've done and do it different, do it better, AND do it consistently so it becomes a habit doing the new year. We are constantly either keeping things the same or changing them for ourselves. In this episode I delve into the depths of consistencies we can do without, the past consistencies that eventually changed, and the pressures doing things the same way, every time.

Eps 122 - After leaving a successful HR career behind exactly one year ago, laying people off or getting the ax myself seemed to be a horrible constant. During this journey I kept most of my experiences with this to myself, but after getting laid off right before Christmas in 2018, I felt it was time to pay it forward, share my story with you. It's unfortunate but I'm sure we may have one or two listeners that are in the same boat as I was last December. This episode brings you insight on how layoffs shaped my career, what happens behind the scenes before someone is laid off, and guidance on how to survive being laid off yourself. It may not be the only story, but the lessons I have learned have come from years of experience getting good at doing what others simply don't want to do. If you or someone you know needs help getting through a year-end layoff or someone in your family has been affected, do not hesitate to contact me via email at thedependentindependent@gmail.com.

Eps 121 - In this episode, I share a story deep in the vault of a time where a lie to get back at someone became a lesson when the truth would have been easier to tell. The truth usually hurts but are lies any worse? Listen how lies impact the world around us, the perceptions of others, and altering of reality as we know it. That is the truth, at least from my point of view. Cheers. SHARE, RATE, SUBSCRIBE & DOWNLOAD PAST EPISODES on any podcast player on Android or iOS.

Eps. 119 - Well, I am back after a long vacation to sunny Orlando, FL. What do parents do when they travel? That have a cocktail (or two) and chill. BUT what happens when the kids come with?

Since starting this show in almost five years back, I've shared a lot of things. It wouldn't make sense to hold back every lesson I've learned from the experiences I share. What happen last weekend is no different. After a costume party with beer pong and flip cups, I share how a night of drinking that lead to a malfunctioning laptop sought me about about how far I've come in the past year. Thanks for listening and remember to always pee before you go to bed. Trust me. You'll thank me later. SHARE, RATE, SUBSCRIBE & DOWNLOAD PAST EPISODES on any podcast player on Android or iOS.

Eps. 117 - In this episode, I came to a realization. A realization that I may be the only one on the planet that doesn't care about what my family did in the past. Nope. Don't need to know what my great grandfather did for a living or where my great-great uncle was born. Does that make me a bad person? To some, maybe. But you are going to have to listen to a few stories on my own that tell me why? SHARE, RATE, SUBSCRIBE & DOWNLOAD PAST EPISODES on any podcast player on Android or iOS.
