EP270 with JR Parker: Embrace Each Stage of Fatherhood

This conversation with JR Parker is rich with wisdom from a man who knows the impact he has on not only his children but future Parker generations. He realizes how his commitment goes beyond just parenting until his children are 18. Ned and JR discuss the importance of finding friends and mentors that help you level up. They talk about how to cultivate it if that is something you're seeking and foster that for other men.JR talks about how fathers have so many roles throughout the lives of our kids.  Some last a lifetime. Others are temporary.  He talks about the deep influence his grandparents had on him growing up and how he's eagerly looking ahead to playing that role for his future grandchildren. He is rebelling against the idea that my main contribution to my family is a financial one. Instead, he shares how important it is to create an environment in which his kids feel loved and supported, where they feel safe enough to fail and push themselves to accomplish things they first might not have thought possible.This is a great conversation with a man who has learned the biggest impact that he is going to have on the world is the impact that I have on the lives of my kids. If more men realized this, our world would look drastically different.   ----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.Follow us:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelandcreateYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/rebelandcreate/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelandcreate
