In this episode of Bad Day Excellence, I sit down with Jon Hord, founder of The Engaged Father Project, to talk about something a lot of dads quietly wrestle with:You are crushing it at work, but feel like you are losing at home.Jon shares the story of waking up in a hotel after an amazing family day at an amusement park, with his son tucked in beside him, and realizing that his brain sprinted straight to a software upgrade at work instead of staying in that moment.That was his red flag. His “your priorities need to be re-evaluated” moment.We dig into:How “provider first” programming pulls dads away from what actually mattersWhy your kids need a calm dad more than a perfect oneHow to run a “post mortem” on hard moments at home using Jon’s “Don’t Waste The Moment” toolWhy a simple fatherhood mission statement can completely change how you show upThe painful phrase Jon regrets saying to his son, and how he repaired it through vulnerabilityJon also shares details on The Engaged Father Project, his 8 week program, and his free 5 call Engaged Father Jumpstart for dads who feel stuck or ashamed but ready to change.Connect with Jon:Free 5-Day Engaged Father JumpstartEmail: [email protected]
