I will debut a book about marketing to dads, which is scheduled to debut in June 2017. The title is DADLY Dollar$: How Marketing to Dads Will Increase Revenue and Strengthen Families. My co-authors are Don Hudson, who is in this book and Hogan Hilling, the co-author of this book.
Quote.
Just have faith. – Anonymous
What I do well as a dad.
I’m respectful to my wife and live by example through encouraging a strong faith life in our children. I’m a firm believer that the family who prays together, stays together. I’m a good organizer and planner and find efficient ways to manage my time and responsibilities between family and work.
What I learned from another dad.
Exercise patience and calmness with your children, especially in the heat of the moment.
Lesson learned from my child.
Meekness and forgiveness. They look past my faults and still love me no matter what, never holding grudges.
Successful fatherhood moment.
I took our young kids alone to an MLB game once, and after a few innings – unbeknownst to me – an usher had been watching us. He approached me and said: “I’ve been ushering for a long time, and I’ve never seen a dad so happy to be with his kids. They’re jumping on you, begging for snacks, acting restless, but just being kids. Most parents would be shouting at their kids to stop. But you’ve been a wonderful father to them the whole time. Your wife is lucky to have you.”
Dad I admire.
Without a doubt my dad, who is the finest man I will ever know. He can fix everything. He can do anything. He led our whole family and gave us an example of serving one another – in our home, in our family, in our church, in our community. I am beyond lucky and blessed to have the parents I was given.
