The Expectation/Reality Difference : My Theory
The difference between an expectation we have and the reality will usually dictate your emotional response. It’s a theory.

We are emotional creatures. We feel then react. Don’t be fooled into thinking that only women are emotional. Ever been around a sports fanatic whose team loses a playoff game?
My exact words to my kids when they were teenage daughters. “Enjoy being a kid and not paying any bills”
Our kids mirror our behaviors, and what we do has an incredible impact on the person they are becoming every day. They eat what we eat. Believe what we believe. Hate what we hate. Speak our language and share our passions. I mean, my kid’s hate mayo like I hate…
Everyone succeeds at many things throughout their lives. I made it a point to place those moments in a mental portfolio for my daughters. Can you imagine what I would do when they’re doubting themselves later in life? That’s right. I’d show them their own portfolio of success.
Many parents refuse to apologize or even acknowledge when they’re clearly wrong. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with that, right?
Pretty much everyone raised in the 90s was raised with shame and guilt, not to mention the passive-aggressive parenting methods.
We as men need to be “MAN ENOUGH” to be able to speak freely and without reservation with our close friends.
Sometimes you meet new people by going to school with them or being raised in the same hood. That’s cool. But you know what’s cooler? Having a good friend introduce you to someone they are certain you will hit it off with. Someone that they feel vibes, walks, and talks…
As fathers, we can learn a lot from those around us. Some excellent men are doing great work and sharing their stories.
I love my parents. They did the best they could- but I don’t want to parent like parents. The full episode drops on January 18th with the one and only Manny Montilla.
Modern Slang by older people can sound corny and out of place. But sometimes, it’s just fun to annoy my kids. The full episode drops on January 18th with the one and only Manny Montilla.
All decisions are essentially bets. Some bets come with extremely high risks (and high rewards) I made some big bets on myself over 10 years ago. Early on, it seemed like I was moron for risking so much. But now, I look and feel like a winner… and my daughters…
Curiosity and giving without being asked. Simple formula for Brad’s approach to networking. Timeless advice that never grows old.
But the idea of the Seduction Syndicate was not purely original. Brad “Borrowed Brilliance” from other industries.
It was 2007ish. I was at a desperate point in my life. I was freshly divorced and knew it was time to make some big bets on myself and my future. My daughters were itty bitty and depended on me getting things figured out. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mr. Brad…
Brad, the genius, created a community of fellow marketers and creators in the dating niche. This is when I learned the value of having an “abundance mindset”.
Brad was my first business partner. Through his superpower of networking we were able to grow a silly little idea into a profitable business. I got lucky finding him. Don’t tell him I said that.
In 2007, I put myself in room full of smarter, wealthier, and more connected people. I paid money to be in the room with these people. Through that process I learned to become a better man and created life-long friendships.
As a man, if you are so strong, why can you express your emotions? Men should find power in showing their emotions, vulnerability shows strength.
As a society most people don't realize the importance of manhood and fatherhood, how it impacts creation as well as development in all of our lives. #intentionalparenting #girldad #dadsareawesome
When we don't have a safe space growing up we develop bottled up creativity not being able to develop that part of ourselves. Creating chaos in our lives. #intentionalparenting #girldad #dadsareawesome
