In today's episode, we naturally discuss the status of the 75Hard Challenge and note that its conclusion is gradually nearing. As always, we delve into our daily lives, focusing today on the staggering costs of childcare and debating whether it's more sensible to continue working or to simply stay at home. Additionally, we finally explore the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets, discussing their application in daily life and in parenting. To conclude, we pose the question: What exactly is the role of a parent?

In this episode, Mars and Julius talk as usual about the status of their 75Hard Challenge, but also about the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to make or maintain new friendships as you get older with a family. For men in particular, the question is always whether they are my drinking buddies or people with whom I have more in common. There is talk about listener feedback regarding the mom mob and how to remain stable when it comes to raising your children, despite the many outside influences.

Welcome to the final and concluding episode of this year's 75 Hard Challenge. Unfortunately, I couldn't continue sharing my journey with you as I had to make a strategic decision and my job and family were more important to me, so I ended the series early. I'm unhappy about it and have thought about it several times a day for the last 30 days, but you have to realize when you can't do it.
But what have I achieved?
- I've read 937 pages of 5 different non-fiction books,
- I took 1,191,023 steps,
- I rowed 570,000m with the Waterrower,
- cycled almost 600km plus my daily rides with the kids,
- did yoga dozens of times inside and outside,
- drank over 285 liters of water, and
- took 75 super weird pictures.
And I have learned a lot about myself. For anyone thinking about taking on this or a similar challenge, do it! I am very sure that it will not hurt you and I am very sure that you will learn a lot about yourself from this experience. This has also shown that you can do a challenge like this, with children, with a lot of work and any old burdens that you are carrying around with you. It is very helpful to organize your day more efficiently and to jump over your own shadow in many moments.
In any case, I've decided to continue, albeit in a slightly lighter version over the holidays, and then I'll start again in January because I want to try to complete the entire program in 2024.
See you then!
Welcome to the 42nd episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. Some people also don't learn to just go to the bathroom before they start, because then the same stress wouldn't happen to you two days in a row. Chasing over some country roads with an empty tank and a full bladder to find a gas station to fill the tank and empty the bladder.
Listen in to find out if I was able to complete all of 75 Hard's tasks despite this late night excursion.
Welcome to the 41st episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. It's always weird when you have to clean up the house before the cleaning lady comes, but otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to work properly today. In addition, I was on a mission tonight and almost wet my pants while I was desperately looking for a gas station so that I wouldn't break down with the car because of an empty tank.
Listen in to find out if I was able to complete all of 75 Hard's tasks despite this late-night excursion.
Welcome to the 40th episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. Besides the actual stuff I have to do, I have a packed afternoon with skate park, library, and then kids gymnastics. Basically, you can't pack more onto the agenda to keep the kids active. But that's what the everyday life of a part-time dad looks like.
Tune in to see if I was able to complete my tasks around 75 Hard despite all the issues.
Welcome to the thirty-ninth episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story.
What's the biggest mistake you make when picking up your kids from daycare in the afternoon? Do not let them fall asleep in any case, because this means in consequence that the going to bed routine is extended by 250%, because even 10min sleep in the afternoon means 60min longer going to bed in the evening and definitely a bad mood the following day, because of too little sleep! Even after almost 9 years of raising children, this cardinal mistake happens to me at regular intervals.
Listen in to see if despite losing time, but gaining quality time with my kids, I was able to stick to my plan of completing the tasks of 75 Hard.
Welcome to the thirty-eighth episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. As mentioned several times I have cartilage damage in my ankle which means I should not be running and jumping. Today was another day where I didn't get going in the morning because I couldn't even get up the stairs properly. It's really annoying, but by now I've found some ways to deal with it.
Tune in to see if I was able to get all the tasks done today even with a limp.
Welcome to the thirty-seventh episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. I spent half the day today selling coffee and cake at my son's kindergarten flea market. A welcome change and a chance to catch up with people and maybe mess with them a little, but in the end, it was for a good cause and we made good money. Meant, however, that for two-thirds of the day, I could not take care of my challenge.
Tune in to witness once again if I got all the stuff sorted out or if it blew up in my face.
Welcome to the thirty-sixth episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. Today had a lot on the docket, podcast recording, shopping, cooking, field hockey and a short nap. But it's always good to get all your topics under one hat, maybe I'll finally get my time management under control.
Tune in to hear how I managed to keep all the balls in the air once again.
Welcome to the thirty-fifth episode of the 75 Hard Challenge: A Dad´s Transformation Story. We finally have our normal everyday life, no one sick, no unique plans, just a family trying to dance at different weddings.
Tune in to hear if, despite all the dancing, I'm not forgetting the actual tasks of the 75 Hard Challenge.
