Risk, Resilience, and Raising Kids | ANDY STUMPF

It seems to me the more that I have conversations on this podcast, the more questions I have rather than the answers I've been seeking. But it's been said that the quality of your life will be determined by the quality of the questions you ask. So, when I have an opportunity to sit down with my friend, Andy Stumpf, to ask some of life's challenging questions, it's always a great discussion.Today, we talk about so many different topics like taking risks (which we've both done with moving our families), developing resilience in our lives, and the never-ending challenges that come with raising kids. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Managing uncertainty  Seeking adventure  Navigating risk Mental toughness Guiding your children   Voluntary hardships  Parental balance Toxic masculinity  Calibration   Frank conversation  Consequences of bad decisions  Corporate endorsements  The power of social media  Politics  Doing more with less  ANDY STUMPF My guest today is my friend, Andy Stumpf. I heard he was making a trip to Maine about a week after I got here so I reached out and scheduled a conversation on this podcast. We had a day of archery, Jiu-Jitsu, a podcast session, and finished it off with a lobster bake with our friends, Pete Roberts, and Brian Littlefield.If you don't know who Andy Stumpf is, he is a retired Navy SEAL, avid bow hunter, and a base jumping, wingsuit flying mad man. But, in addition to that, he's one of the most level-headed men that I know. I think a lot of that has been developed to even out his quest for adventure.You're going to enjoy this one as it's not so much of an interview but two men talking about the challenges and struggles that are part of life.
