Jon Hord: Why Setting Three Specific Dad Goals Changes Everything About Intentional Fatherhood

Send us Fan MailEver wonder how to set actual goals for your fatherhood instead of just hoping you'll figure it out? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jon Hord, founder of the Engaged Father Project, who discovered that most dads have professional and financial goals but zero specific goals for being a father—and that changes everything.Jon shares his incredible journey from fear-driven perfectionist to vulnerable, intentional father, including:•Why his kids now talk about "new dad" versus "old dad" and how that feedback lights him up more than any achievement•The morning apology that shows your children it's safe to be human in your house•How a childhood belief about "doing things well" kept him small for decades until he transformed it into "do it with passion"Plus, Jon reveals his game-changing approach to parenting teenagers—why he refuses to take their reactions personally and treats every day like uncharted territory because your 13-year-old has never been 13 before.Whether you're struggling with teenage attitude changes or wondering how to be more than just the guy who pays the bills, this episode will challenge you to see that setting specific dad goals isn't just helpful—it's the difference between hoping you're doing okay and knowing you're building the relationship you actually want.Ready to stop winging fatherhood and start being intentional about the dad you become? Let's explore how three simple goals can transform every interaction with your children!Connect with Jon Hord:Skool: https://www.skool.com/the-engaged-father-project-9143/about?ref=e2688786b0094b4283ebc3cc22ab6eabInstagram: @TheEngagedFatherProjectYouTube: https://youtube.com/@TheEngagedFatherProjectTikTok: @TheEngagedFatherProjectLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-hordFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEngagedFatherProjectWebsite: https://TheEngagedFatherProject.comSponsors:My PillowFree MyPillow Promo Code "TFM" for up to 80% off your entire order at MyPillow!   To get the best specials ever go to MyPillow.com/TFM or call 800-796-9775 and use promo code "TFM"Support our podcast: Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thefallibleman Want to Share Your Message with the World?Looking to be a guest on a podcast and reach a wider audience?
