In this week's episode, we share our first guest spot on another podcast, the Berry Thoughtful Life podcast with Caneisha Berry. We did not know what to expect, but we were excited to be the first male guests on this extraordinary podcast focused on helping women identify their feelings. We shared why we started the Too Dad To Quit podcast, but the discussion quickly turns into Caneisha being at a loss for words about how honest and vulnerable Ben & Yoel were about their divorce journeys. Something that she says is missing in today's society from culture, social circles, and the media. We were so enlightened by this conversation that we decided our listeners needed to hear it as well.

In this week's episode, we sit down with holistic dog coach and guru Isaac Mass. In an entertaining discussion covering a wide range of topics, Isaac describes his background in the Hasidic world and how he evolved into the man he is today. While not orthodox in the traditional sense, Isaac displays a mastery of ancient Jewish texts, citing one after another to introduce important lessons that we can all learn and grow from. Displaying wisdom beyond his years, Isaac gives his take on why some men are called upon to experience the challenges of divorce and shows maturity in describing how he realized he and his then-wife had evolved but in separate ways, necessitating the break-up, though in a respectful, peaceful manner. We also get into Isaac's approach to working with dogs and how he is able to hone in on a dog's personality to help their owners enjoy their beloved canines. Isaac is clearly a proud dad to 2 boys, gushing over their various character traits and how he leverages their qualities and character traits to bring out the best in each of them. Isaac's high-energy personality is mesmerizing, and we could have kept going for hours had time permitted. If you want to feed off a dynamic, exciting, and vibrant man with much to offer, Isaac's episode is for you. So sit back and enjoy! Contact Us to Share Your Story: https://toodadtoquit.com/contact

In this week's episode, we sit down with divorce support mediator Yaakov Kessler. An excellent listener and articulate communicator, it was immediately clear to us why Yaakov excels at helping couples mediate through the divorce process and avoid the unnecessary wars that often accompany divorce. We covered a range of topics such as personality conflicts, child-rearing, relationships, and even the often-heated topic of Agunot (women who cannot remarry under Jewish law due to not receiving a Jewish divorce). Offering a balanced perspective on things, Yaakov wisely describes how he doesn't look at things from a right or wrong perspective, but rather from what he can do to facilitate the needs of each party to a divorce. For those who think that divorce must be an all-or-nothing combative process, think again. As Yaakov demonstrates, divorce doesn't have to be horrible, and not only can a divorcing couple walk away serenely, but most importantly, the children can benefit from peacefully coexisting parents. It is not impossible and not beyond reach. If this sounds appealing to you, then sit down and listen to the wisdom of Yaakov Kessler! Contact Us to Share Your Story: https://toodadtoquit.com/contact

In this week's episode, we sit down with none other than Ben's older brother, Eli! Similar in voice only but nothing else to the discernible eye, Ben and Eli take us on a spirited discussion down memory lane. Eli candidly describes how he helped raise Ben and care for their mom during her struggles with raising the children following their parents' separation and divorce. Offering his perspective on the challenges of a child growing up with divorced parents, Eli portrays a complicated relationship with his dad, while at the same time exhibiting peace and understanding that comes with age and experience.
In a moving tribute to their late brother Phil who died tragically in a motorcycle accident, Eli shares how it impacted his life and how he marks the anniversary of his death every year in a moving tribute with Phil's favorite foods. We also get into Eli's various brushes with potential death and how he always has managed to stay one step ahead. Witty and hilarious, Eli's energy is infectious, and you are sure to walk away not only thoroughly entertained by Eli's candor but also enriched from Eli's perspective as a child of divorce. Enjoy!

We sit down with none other than Ben's dad, Fred Stern! In an understated fashion, but with an entertaining, wry sense of humor, Fred takes us on a tour of his life through his adventures building rockets, obtaining his pilot's license, and flying his family across the country. We particularly enjoyed Ben's banter with his dad, as they exchanged story after story, giving us real-time insights into the dad-son dynamic.
In his personal life, Fred was divorced while Ben was a baby and has since remarried having fathered another son and raised a step-brother to Ben. Fred offers valuable and experienced insights into his perspective on divorce, why he feels fathers should not remarry while the kids are young, and how it can impact one's ability to fully be present as a dad.
Fred also discusses the excitement of a new relationship but the "baggage" that inevitably comes after the passage of time and how one must learn to accept such baggage to make a second relationship last as he has in his own life. Fred opens up about his feelings over his relationship with Ben's mom and their challenges in communicating both pre and post-divorce.
Finally, while not overly emotional in nature, Fred vulnerably describes how painful it was to hear about Ben's divorce, how he wanted to do anything to help him, and how proud he is of all of Ben's ongoing accomplishments in a touching "Too Dad To Quit" moment.

In a spirited discussion that could have gone on for hours, Terry entertained us with fascinating tales from his time as a SWAT team negotiator, and his involvement in athletics including playing alongside Michael Jordan in college. His views on communicating with curiosity and in simple language, and his perseverance in the face of very real health challenges he has endured. Articulate and energetic, Terry shares how solicitations for his advice resulted in the culmination of his thoughts packaged in a book he wrote entitled, "Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life".

We sit down with the energetic and enthusiastic teacher/instructor, Jesse Sweed. Originally from Pennsylvania, Jesse talks about his travels to far-off countries such as South Korea, eventually settling down (for now) in exotic Spain. Jesse is a proud dad to 2 children and enjoys an excellent co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife. We pick Jesse's brain on all sorts of topics including how he includes "why statements" in his journal to motivate productivity, how he suggests dealing with mistakes and guilt, how to accept yourself and relate positively with others, and much more. Jesse also discusses various parenting hacks that any parent listening can easily apply to their own interactions with their children. What we loved most about this episode is just how many tips Jesse packed into one episode and in such a simple and easy-to-understand manner! We walked away feeling inspired by Jesse, and are confident you will as well. So, be prepared to learn and be inspired with us, and as Jesse suggests, don't forget to grab a pen and paper so that you don't miss a single tip!

Brad specializes in late-stage college funding planning, and with many of our audience having children going off to college in the coming years, we were excited to land an expert of Brad's caliber. In addition to providing the ins and outs of understanding college finances as it applies to families, Brad also describes how he assists students from divorced families entering college and how multiple single-income households can affect college tuition, grants, and more. In case you are the type who avoids discussing finances, you'll be refreshingly surprised to listen to Brad make things interesting and informative such that you can understand the basics and be motivated to take action to help your child maximize savings and make wise financial planning decisions.

We sit down with 6' 7", physical and spiritual giant, Gary Miskin! From humble beginnings selling coffee to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Gary describes how he turned his fortunes around by maximizing his strengths and espousing honesty in all his business dealings. Springboarding from that discussion, we get into Gary's difficult time during divorce and how he turned to seek spirituality to find strength and meaning in life. The secret, Gary discovered, is going inward, having the guts to do the inner work to manifest outer greatness. But you can only fully understand that concept when you listen to Gary describe it in his own words! Gary has since remarried and is the proud dad to 7 children ages 2-18 whom he clearly adores and takes pride in. This is an episode packed with spiritual wisdom from someone who's been in the trenches and has come out the other side shining. You're sure to come away from it as energized and uplifted as we were!
