further. 7 00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:14,010 Okay. 8 00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:17,070 In this episode of the Fallible Man Podcast, we're gonna explore six 9 00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:21,300 practical and creative ideas for spending quality time with your kids 10 00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:23,640 no matter their age or interest. 11 00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:27,200 Whether you're looking to incorporate more outdoor activities, tech-free 12 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,920 play, or meaningful conversations, we've got you covered, I promise. 13 00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:34,730 Now there are literally hundreds of things you could do, but I promise each 14 00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:39,290 one of these is powerfully effective and will help you bond like never before. 15 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:44,350 I won't waste another minute, nor won't. 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,030 Here's the million dollar question. 17 00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:49,190 How do men like us reach our full? 18 00:00:50,265 --> 00:00:54,254 Growing to the men we dream of being while taking care of our responsibilities, 19 00:00:54,644 --> 00:00:58,964 working, being good husbands, fathers, and still take care of ourselves. 20 00:00:59,985 --> 00:01:01,485 Well, that's the big question. 21 00:01:02,235 --> 00:01:05,205 In this podcast, we'll help you answer those questions and more. 22 00:01:05,354 --> 00:01:11,845 My name is Brent and welcome to the Fallible Man podcast on the mission. 23 00:01:12,884 --> 00:01:15,795 As a father, you play an essential role in your child's. 24 00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:19,920 Your presence, love, support, can help shape their 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,870 development and their wellbeing. 26 00:01:22,410 --> 00:01:27,360 In fact, it most definitely shapes both of those things, but with 27 00:01:27,365 --> 00:01:30,540 the demands of work, household chores, and other responsibilities. 28 00:01:30,914 --> 00:01:34,214 Finding time to connect with your child can be really a challenge. 29 00:01:34,664 --> 00:01:38,684 That's why it's really crucial to prioritize quality time with your kids, 30 00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:42,735 over quantity time with your kids, where you can engage in meaningful 31 00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:47,685 activities and create lasting memories that will stay with them forever. 32 00:01:48,524 --> 00:01:51,435 By the way, my name is Brent and I'm the Fallible man. 33 00:01:51,675 --> 00:01:56,264 Whether you are a longtime listener or you're brand new, 34 00:01:56,324 --> 00:01:57,880 hey, welcome Fallible Nation. 35 00:01:57,940 --> 00:01:59,080 We're glad you're here. 36 00:02:00,175 --> 00:02:03,835 There are a lot of activities that you can do to help bond deeply 37 00:02:04,195 --> 00:02:05,665 and really connect with your kids. 38 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,329 If you're the outdoorsy or even if you aren't, like I wasn't necessarily all 39 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:12,760 the time, you can hike, can't fish. 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,670 I mean, I learned to fish for my oldest daughter cuz she liked fishing. 41 00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:16,269 Who knew? 42 00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:19,329 I still hate it, but I love going fishing with her. 43 00:02:19,930 --> 00:02:21,370 Maybe you're more of an indoor person. 44 00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:21,880 That's kind. 45 00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:22,660 That's okay too. 46 00:02:22,665 --> 00:02:23,649 That's not a big deal. 47 00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:27,610 You can do all kinds of things, but let me give you the secret sauce, okay? 48 00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:29,920 If you take nothing else outta this podcast, you need to hear. 49 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,450 The secret sauce comes down to three things, guys, presence, 50 00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,810 engagement, and senses. 51 00:02:39,770 --> 00:02:42,110 These, these are, these are the crucial things. 52 00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:42,320 Okay? 53 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,240 If you can get these down, you've got it. 54 00:02:44,245 --> 00:02:44,690 You're good. 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,140 You can call it Pez for short, if that helps you remember it. 56 00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:49,730 It doesn't really matter. 57 00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:54,710 No matter what you choose to do, become fully present in the. 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,380 No distractions. 59 00:02:56,380 --> 00:02:57,399 You can't fake it. 60 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:58,120 They know. 61 00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:59,469 They know you're faking it. 62 00:02:59,469 --> 00:03:01,390 Don't, don't try and sell them short. 63 00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:06,070 In fact, they just feel like you're trying to fool them when 64 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:08,500 you're faking it and that you think they're dumb enough to buy it. 65 00:03:08,670 --> 00:03:09,700 It really is insulting. 66 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:12,310 I've actually had this conversation with kids in past. 67 00:03:13,209 --> 00:03:16,990 You have to fully engage with them in every activity. 68 00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:20,620 No half-assing it guys, and again, no distractions. 69 00:03:21,099 --> 00:03:22,839 They won't engage if you. 70 00:03:24,355 --> 00:03:25,945 The third piece is senses. 71 00:03:26,485 --> 00:03:29,784 The more senses you can engage in the activity, the more it will imprint 72 00:03:29,784 --> 00:03:32,274 on them, the deeper will connect in their mind and their heart, and the 73 00:03:32,274 --> 00:03:34,795 stronger memory, memory you'll create. 74 00:03:35,545 --> 00:03:39,714 Now, if you can apply the Pez protocol, that's what we're gonna call it, 75 00:03:40,165 --> 00:03:44,394 probably not original, but you can apply the Pez protocol to almost anything. 76 00:03:44,904 --> 00:03:49,075 You're going to make an incredible amount of progress in bonding with your. 77 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,769 But for all of you out there, here are six power moves that will let 78 00:03:53,769 --> 00:03:57,370 you connect really deeply with your child because each one can engage 79 00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:59,860 all of the senses if done correctly. 80 00:04:00,790 --> 00:04:04,630 And with a Pez protocol, they're gonna make all six of these. 81 00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:06,280 Super, super effective. 82 00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:08,560 Number one is cooking together. 83 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,540 Now you can laugh, but this works at all ages and all scales. 84 00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:15,670 With younger kids, you can teach them to. 85 00:04:16,645 --> 00:04:19,825 As they get older, you can let them do more and more. 86 00:04:20,455 --> 00:04:25,555 Eventually you become the assistant and, and they're the cook, still older. 87 00:04:25,615 --> 00:04:28,795 You can try new recipes together, try something brand new you haven't 88 00:04:28,795 --> 00:04:32,965 tried with them, like just like pick a random recipe and as they 89 00:04:32,965 --> 00:04:34,855 get older it will still be special. 90 00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:41,950 I'm still cooking with my mom on a regular basis at 43 years old, and it's 91 00:04:41,950 --> 00:04:43,870 still amazing to connect in the kitchen. 92 00:04:44,410 --> 00:04:49,330 Once you start that bond of cooking together, it will just, it will linger. 93 00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:50,860 You'll be there for the rest of your life. 94 00:04:50,860 --> 00:04:53,740 It will always be a good memory, and every time you happen into the kitchen 95 00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:57,580 together, that will bring that warm, deep connection between the two of you. 96 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,250 Number two, start a business. 97 00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:02,800 Now start a small business. 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,599 It doesn't have to be anything fantastical. 99 00:05:04,599 --> 00:05:06,190 You don't have to be the next Elon Musk. 100 00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:06,640 That's cool. 101 00:05:07,210 --> 00:05:08,560 Maybe you will be, who knows? 102 00:05:09,159 --> 00:05:14,380 It doesn't even actually have to be successful, but it can be. 103 00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:16,659 But experience it together. 104 00:05:16,659 --> 00:05:17,980 That's the important part of this. 105 00:05:17,985 --> 00:05:18,940 Start small. 106 00:05:19,599 --> 00:05:21,190 Have meetings that's important. 107 00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:23,230 Let them guide it. 108 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,580 Let them create it and build it and just be part of the process with them. 109 00:05:27,580 --> 00:05:29,349 It can be your business together. 110 00:05:29,770 --> 00:05:31,690 My children have their own business. 111 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,490 I help them with aspects of it. 112 00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,050 I don't touch other parts of it. 113 00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:39,820 Adding meetings though lets you bring in like coffee and donuts 114 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,880 and then you can have a real business meeting that's air quotes. 115 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,640 For all of you listening, that can be a real business meeting and it will tip 116 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:55,930 in that taste and smell to make this complete with all five your senses. 117 00:05:56,380 --> 00:05:58,450 And as your kids get older, it's gonna become more. 118 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320 If you wanted to, or you can just move on to the next thing. 119 00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:06,790 But it will help them feel more accomplished and more confident as 120 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:07,960 they move forward with their life. 121 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Trust me, my 11 year old loves telling people she has her own business. 122 00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:17,050 Number three, new, anything like literally, you can just 123 00:06:17,055 --> 00:06:18,159 throw anything new in there. 124 00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:19,300 This is crazy. 125 00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:19,690 Okay. 126 00:06:20,890 --> 00:06:24,409 Anything new that meets the Pez protocol standard. 127 00:06:25,210 --> 00:06:25,750 All right. 128 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,050 Remember, presence, engagement, senses. 129 00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,650 The new factor will push it over the edge. 130 00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:35,260 Try a new restaurant, try a new recipe. 131 00:06:35,265 --> 00:06:36,220 Try a new park. 132 00:06:36,985 --> 00:06:40,194 Go to a new coffee stand, depending on how old your kids are. 133 00:06:40,615 --> 00:06:43,615 People are the sum of their experiences and influences, and 134 00:06:43,615 --> 00:06:47,905 adding the new factor, air quotes again, creates a sense of excitement 135 00:06:48,025 --> 00:06:51,684 even when trying a new restaurant, especially if you talk it off, right? 136 00:06:51,684 --> 00:06:52,044 Sell it. 137 00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:53,755 Be like, Ooh, no, no, no. 138 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,595 Do we wanna try this? 139 00:06:54,775 --> 00:06:56,214 I've never had Thai food before. 140 00:06:56,664 --> 00:06:58,405 I'm, do you think it's gonna be too hot? 141 00:06:58,405 --> 00:06:58,735 Right? 142 00:06:59,275 --> 00:07:03,684 Tuck it up, make it a big ordeal, and that new factor will just 143 00:07:03,684 --> 00:07:06,204 push the wow factor over for them. 144 00:07:06,835 --> 00:07:08,755 And they're gonna bond and hold onto that. 145 00:07:09,564 --> 00:07:11,455 Number four, train together. 146 00:07:12,174 --> 00:07:15,475 Now, I've been seeing this more lately and I absolutely love it 147 00:07:15,475 --> 00:07:20,365 as a personal trainer, physical activity together is a huge win Our 148 00:07:20,544 --> 00:07:23,095 in our evermore sedentary society. 149 00:07:23,845 --> 00:07:24,865 Say that three times Fast. 150 00:07:24,865 --> 00:07:25,615 Sedentary society. 151 00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:26,395 Sedentary society. 152 00:07:26,725 --> 00:07:27,115 Sedentary society. 153 00:07:27,475 --> 00:07:29,875 As we talked about in our last episode with Dr. 154 00:07:29,905 --> 00:07:32,635 Sh Sheila Carroll, you should go back and check out that one 155 00:07:32,635 --> 00:07:33,655 that was earlier this week. 156 00:07:34,015 --> 00:07:36,294 You need to set the tone for the kid. 157 00:07:36,294 --> 00:07:41,725 Your kids' health training together will do that along with the added good nature 158 00:07:41,725 --> 00:07:43,554 competitiveness that can be in play. 159 00:07:44,905 --> 00:07:46,255 This works at all ages. 160 00:07:46,255 --> 00:07:47,034 You can scale it. 161 00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:48,145 Okay. 162 00:07:48,145 --> 00:07:51,115 I have pictures of my daughters flipping tires with me in my backyard. 163 00:07:51,205 --> 00:07:55,525 My youngest, when she was like, I just got hurt a little tired. 164 00:07:56,395 --> 00:07:57,684 You can do this at all ages. 165 00:07:57,684 --> 00:08:00,924 I, if you search for it on Instagram, you'll find the videos of it. 166 00:08:00,924 --> 00:08:01,735 It's amazing. 167 00:08:02,125 --> 00:08:05,844 Make your kids part of your training program and then get them 168 00:08:05,844 --> 00:08:07,224 training with you as they can. 169 00:08:07,255 --> 00:08:13,525 It'll breed a healthy, long-lasting love of being healthy, and it'll 170 00:08:13,525 --> 00:08:15,355 put on some serious memories. 171 00:08:16,255 --> 00:08:17,605 Number five, read together. 172 00:08:19,375 --> 00:08:20,245 I know this sounds silly. 173 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,110 This does work with older kids. 174 00:08:23,949 --> 00:08:26,710 Pick a book series and read it out loud as a family. 175 00:08:26,949 --> 00:08:27,669 Yeah, I know. 176 00:08:28,240

kids once, and we read it as a family. 179 00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:39,220 There were four adults and two kids involved. 180 00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:42,610 Everybody had a great time, even though we were reading age 181 00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:44,410 appropriate books for the kids. 182 00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:46,960 And you can do this with your teens. 183 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,520 Just be prepared

do this with any young person under the age of 18. 196 00:09:16,225 --> 00:09:17,605 You can do this with your college kid. 197 00:09:18,295 --> 00:09:22,105 Soften the lighting, add some hot cocoa, and you're all set. 198 00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:26,365 You've tripped all the senses because the visual of you guys sitting there reading 199 00:09:26,365 --> 00:09:32,305 together and bonus, you're connecting their imagination to it at the same time. 200 00:09:33,685 --> 00:09:35,545 It's gonna be an awesome memory, I promise. 201 00:09:36,475 --> 00:09:37,615 And I've got number six for you. 202 00:09:37,615 --> 00:09:38,275 You're gonna love this. 203 00:09:38,965 --> 00:09:39,445 Ready? 204 00:09:39,505 --> 00:09:40,495 Ready for the eye rolls. 205 00:09:41,275 --> 00:09:42,505 Write a story together. 206 00:09:43,465 --> 00:09:45,565 Now, you probably did this in school at some point you 207 00:09:45,565 --> 00:09:46,885 put a little story together. 208 00:09:46,885 --> 00:09:48,235 Maybe you weren't young authors. 209 00:09:48,235 --> 00:09:50,365 Who remembers young authors comment. 210 00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:51,715 Wherever you're watching, let me know. 211 00:09:51,715 --> 00:09:52,465 Shout out, tell me. 212 00:09:52,465 --> 00:09:53,485 I'm not the only nerd. 213 00:09:54,145 --> 00:09:54,565 Okay? 214 00:09:55,075 --> 00:09:56,155 But write a story together. 215 00:09:56,155 --> 00:10:01,075 Really, stories are magical and we as a are, just as a 216 00:10:01,075 --> 00:10:02,365 culture, are addicted to them. 217 00:10:03,655 --> 00:10:05,845 They are so incredibly magical. 218 00:10:06,595 --> 00:10:10,765 Every form of entertainment and most good ads actually tell stories. 219 00:10:11,815 --> 00:10:16,435 Bill Shakespeare, yes, he rolled over in his grave or somebody did, said 220 00:10:16,525 --> 00:10:20,065 All the world is his day age, and all men and women are merely players. 221 00:10:20,785 --> 00:10:24,265 Since we're so fascinated, why not stretch the imagination a little more? 222 00:10:24,265 --> 00:10:25,975 Write your own story together. 223 00:10:26,785 --> 00:10:30,255 Decide on a type of story that's appropriate for the age of your children. 224 00:10:31,315 --> 00:10:33,865 And you really only need a few things to write a story. 225 00:10:34,435 --> 00:10:36,415 A, what's the story about B? 226 00:10:36,565 --> 00:10:37,735 Who are the characters? 227 00:10:38,185 --> 00:10:40,345 C, what problem do they need to solve? 228 00:10:40,435 --> 00:10:43,435 D, what's the twist and E, how do you resolve it? 229 00:10:43,825 --> 00:10:44,725 That's a story. 230 00:10:45,295 --> 00:10:48,355 The rest of a story is just filling in those details. 231 00:10:48,745 --> 00:10:50,395 So maybe you write a best seller. 232 00:10:51,310 --> 00:10:53,290 Start with oral stories, right? 233 00:10:53,290 --> 00:10:54,430 Just spoken. 234 00:10:54,850 --> 00:10:56,590 That's how story selling started. 235 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,850 And take notes so you can write it out later if you want to for your kids, so 236 00:11:00,850 --> 00:11:04,780 your kids can go back in your notebook and read the story that they created with you. 237 00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:08,079 Now, like I said, I can feel the eyes rolling. 238 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:08,920 Seriously. 239 00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:13,270 Again, soften the lights, ask some hot cocoa. 240 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,210 You're really onto something and you're tripping all those senses and 241 00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:17,710 it's gonna be very cool together. 242 00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:22,600 Now, even better, as your kids get older, the stories will 243 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,130 become more and more complex. 244 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,950 I recommend maybe being a recording 'em somehow, maybe get a microphone, 245 00:11:29,955 --> 00:11:31,810 maybe just record 'em on your phone. 246 00:11:31,810 --> 00:11:33,790 Most phones have a recording device on 'em now. 247 00:11:34,825 --> 00:11:36,295 Record the stories. 248 00:11:36,385 --> 00:11:40,645 Go back and, and let Word, you can put it on dictate and let word, just put it 249 00:11:40,645 --> 00:11:43,915 all out there for you or put it in chat, g p t and just let it play whatever. 250 00:11:44,665 --> 00:11:46,735 But write out and create stories together. 251 00:11:46,735 --> 00:11:47,686 You don't even have to write 'em down. 252 00:11:47,691 --> 00:11:48,955 Just create stories. 253 00:11:49,825 --> 00:11:54,175 If filling in all those gaps for those five pieces, you are gonna 254 00:11:54,175 --> 00:11:55,855 create this incredible story. 255 00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,355 Everybody can contribute. 256 00:11:57,955 --> 00:12:00,085 Let the imagination run wild. 257 00:12:00,985 --> 00:12:02,725 Why do you think we love stories so much? 258 00:12:02,725 --> 00:12:04,825 I promise you this is going to be magical. 259 00:12:06,235 --> 00:12:07,555 Now, here's a bonus, guys. 260 00:12:08,485 --> 00:12:10,405 Create a sacred space. 261 00:12:10,945 --> 00:12:15,115 This is a kicker for the Pez protocol. 262 00:12:15,115 --> 00:12:16,855 If we're calling it that still, right? 263 00:12:17,845 --> 00:12:21,205 No matter what you're doing, create a sacred space for it. 264 00:12:21,205 --> 00:12:25,225 I'm not saying like a whole room with like special wall hanging. 265 00:12:25,225 --> 00:12:27,715 Now we're not talking about some kind of religious sacred. 266 00:12:28,945 --> 00:12:34,735 However, kids start to pick up the value of time really early on, and they're 267 00:12:34,735 --> 00:12:36,835 often in competition for your time. 268 00:12:37,915 --> 00:12:40,975 So put it on your calendar as a non-negotiable. 269 00:12:41,305 --> 00:12:45,265 When you decide to do something with your kids, put it on your 270 00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,555 calendar where they can see it. 271 00:12:47,015 --> 00:12:53,215 Honor, strictly, protect it, and use the Pez protocol. 272 00:12:53,785 --> 00:12:58,075 Something as simple as a movie night will be incredibly powerful. 273 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:03,580 With the mindset of being present, being engaged, and engaging your 274 00:13:03,580 --> 00:13:06,970 senses when that is a protected space. 275 00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:10,060 I have one night a week that belongs strictly to my daughters. 276 00:13:10,060 --> 00:13:10,930 I don't take meetings. 277 00:13:10,935 --> 00:13:12,310 I've turned down interviews. 278 00:13:12,610 --> 00:13:16,690 I've done all kinds of stuff where she's like, no, for this time block, there's 279 00:13:16,690 --> 00:13:18,210 nothing else going on in my world. 280 00:13:18,210 --> 00:13:19,490 That's just how it is. 281 00:13:20,545 --> 00:13:24,385 It has made such an incredible difference because my daughters know that that 282 00:13:24,385 --> 00:13:29,245 time is theirs and it is sacred, and they are more important than anything 283 00:13:29,245 --> 00:13:33,865 in that time, and I'm not going to let anything have that time and that emotional 284 00:13:33,865 --> 00:13:38,485 connection for them takes something as simple as a movie night, are going out 285 00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,885 to dinner and takes it to a whole nother. 286 00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:45,220 It's amazing and you will never regret it. 287 00:13:45,940 --> 00:13:49,030 I've never seen somebody in all my years regret spending 288 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:50,710 more time with their children. 289 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:55,750 Now, remember, as a father, your time, your attention, their 290 00:13:55,810 --> 00:13:57,670 priceless gifts for your kids. 291 00:13:58,390 --> 00:14:01,300 By spending quality time together, you can strengthen your relationship. 292 00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:04,510 It will improve their mental health and your. 293 00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:07,375 And create a positive impact on their future. 294 00:14:07,735 --> 00:14:09,625 You're going to set powerful memories. 295 00:14:09,625 --> 00:14:12,625 You're not just taking care of your kids, you're taking care 296 00:14:12,625 --> 00:14:15,175 of their kids and their kids. 297 00:14:15,835 --> 00:14:18,655 So take these six ideas and make them your own. 298 00:14:18,745 --> 00:14:19,555 I let them vary. 299 00:14:19,555 --> 00:14:21,205 They, you can do a lot with them. 300 00:14:21,925 --> 00:14:25,585 Personalize them to suit your child's interests, their needs, their 301 00:14:26,055 --> 00:14:30,655
