Larry Hagner joins us today to teach us how to take our skills as husbands and fathers to the next level; with our guest's help, we'll learn how to build epic relationships with our wives and kids.
Larry is the CEO and Founder of The Dad Edge and host of The Dad Edge podcast. Since he started his podcast 7 years ago, Larry has interviewed over 700 experts on parenting, mindset, patience, communication, intimacy, optimizing health, and the power of community. He has been married for the last 18 years to his soul mate, Jessica, and is the loving father of four boys.
Motivated by his relationship with his dad and a situation he lived with one of his kids, Larry started unpretentiously pilling up his fatherhood experiences on a Facebook page. With time, the following grew, the page turned into a blog, and as the following kept growing, the blog gave birth to The Dad Edge podcast.
Throughout our conversation, we travel back to Larry's childhood, what he thought of fatherhood as a child and the several stages of his relationship with his father. We talk about "The good dad project," the Facebook page that turned into his podcast, what led to the creation of that page, and how it evolved to what it is today.
We also talk about his latest book, "The pursuit of legendary fatherhood," all it has to offer, and how it can help us be better husbands and fathers. In addition, Larry shares three questions to build epic relationships with our kids, how to make our wives feel seen, heard, and safe, and many other golden nuggets on parenting and marriage.
