Unsympathetic Empyrean Xazraug Indricothere: guitar, finger drumming, keyboards, bass, parallel oracle, recordmixmaster Fatherhood Inspiration Motivation Success with The Rogue Dad Jeb Murphy Jeb Murphy If you’ve bucked the “conventional wisdom” to raise your kids, or bucked the dysfunctional example of your youth to raise yourself, this is your podcast. I “went rogue” to raise my kids. I also watched many rogue dads, moms, sons, and daughters go “off script” to become and create strong adults. Most of these stories don’t end with a college degree, an MBA, student loans, or a corner office in a Fortune 500 company. These are stories of the uncommon heroes - the ragtag kids who went on to: own a farm, a clothing line, a custom cabinetry business, be a successful artist, be a Worldwide Jiu Jitsu champion, skateboard in the Olympics, and joyfully become great fathers and mothers. If making strong men and women from little boys and girls is your #1 priority, if you don’t care about the funny looks you receive for your uncommon choices, if you lifted yourself up from a difficult childhood, welcome! Thank you for listening, subscribing, and giving this podcast a 5-star rating! GO ROGUE!
