The Team Super Dad Wrap Up #10

00:00 Hey, it's Friday. This is Johnny. You are with the Team Super Dad Friday wrap-up. Welcome. Welcome to Team Super Dad. Real dads creating their best lives ever. More time, more money, more fun. You are not alone. You're on Team Super Dad. Welcome to the Team Super Dad podcast. It's the Friday wrap-up. I am the founder and creator of the Team Super Dad Life Accelerator. We are a community of busy business-owning dads who are transforming their health, wealth, and happiness. It's good to have you here. It's Friday. Holy crap. It's Friday again.

00:45 Thankfully, the sun is shining outside. And they just bought my car back, which is a bonus for reasons I will tell you about in a moment. But I didn't expect it back. So that's given me a whole fresh perspective on what I can do this Friday evening. So absolutely brilliant there. I am dressed, ready to go out, which is not something you normally see. It's been an awesome week. If you are here for the first time, welcome. This is Team Super Dad. Like I said, we're a community of busy business-owning dads who are up to stuff. We're creating and transforming our lives, making gains in the areas of fitness, finance, family, focus, and fun, basically creating our best life ever.

01:26 If you know me, hello, because you might be seeing me on my personal profile. Otherwise, welcome to the Team Super Dad channels. You can comment and ask a question from all of the channels wherever you're watching this. Basically, we're using StreamYard. So if you go to streamyard.com forward slash Facebook, you can connect yourself up. So that means when you ask a question, you will, your name will come up, basically. And I'll see that comment as it floats across the screen. So do that. Let me know how you've been. Let me know where you are. Let me where you're watching. Let me know for all those football fans. Let me know if you are excited about football being back. Of course, me and Jaygo are.

02:08 Why wouldn't we be? It is the start of the Premier League. Tottenham are usual stuff putting us through the meal, wondering, what are we going to do? Are we going to buy a new striker? Who knows? Probably not. Maybe, maybe not, maybe, maybe not. And we have the Team Super Dad Fantasy Football League. So the Premier League have their own fantasy football and we've got a team in there. If you go to the pain in the bum, basically, if you go, just comment below, basically, or go to any of the Team Super Dad pages, teamsuperdad.com

02:48 on the blog. If you go to Facebook, Team Super Dad, my profile, Johnny Jensen, and get the... Do you know what I should do? I should get the league number. Whilst I'm talking, I'll bring up the league number. I'll put it in the comments as we're chatting. So yeah, the Fantasy Football League is totally free. You can download the app from anywhere in the world. And I know this because I've got friends and family in America. Hello to all my American friends and family, members of Team Super Dad as well, who are, where are we? Can't do two things at once, as always. Join leagues, configure league. And then we're going to find out what the invite code is. In fact, I can tell you what the invite code is even easier because it's on a webpage.

03:28 So whilst I'm whitering on about that, here it comes. Two seconds. Yes. So if you go to the Premier League Fantasy Premier League, it's the official Premier League app. If you enter, this is lowercase ORZ, the number four, Y and then four. So ORZ, four, Y, four. And that will put you into the Team Super Dad League. I'll put it in the comments on the, I can put it in the comments now. Yeah. What amazing tools that we have. Join the. So I should have made this first, shouldn't I? Join the Team Super Dad Football League. So it's been a good week. Where's my notes for the week?

04:08 It's been absolutely epic. Like I said, I can't believe that Friday's back. Boys football, as well as the Premier League being back, the boys football is back. We went and played on Sunday, played the best team around. So we're in the top league group, League A. And then Maidstone, which is the local proper like Maidstone FC, no, no surprise, you'd hope that any age level they're at are also good. So they were good. But although we lost 5-0, it was only the first quarter that we got a real hammer in. In the rest of the game, we only conceded two. And we hit the crossbar twice. The post, the keeper made about four saves. It was a great game.

04:49 I love watching my kids play football. I love kids' sport. I love watching my girl Rosie dance. You know, I remember being a kid and looking to the sideline when the match was on, the first place. place I would look would be the sideline to see if my dad was there. And he was busy, he had stuff going on, but that didn't change the fact that any game, anytime, the first place I looked was to see if my dad was there. So, as much as possible, given your work, given other commitments, be there, be at your kids' matches. You know, it's it's they we don't get these days back, those occasions. I would love to say I've made lots of friends. Um, thankfully, the team that I'm in is a really good bunch of parents, and we do get on.

05:32 Um, I can't say we've become bosom buddies out of it. Um, I think at this age, middle age, it seems quite hard to make friends, like friends that become regular people you hang out with. Uh, I'm not excluding it, and I know one of the goals and intentions of Team Super Dad, one of our core tenants, is fun. So, creating new friends, having an active social life is absolutely vital, but doesn't change the fact that it's not quite as easy as perhaps we want it to be. So, I'm just putting this comment into the uh manually enter the league

06:14 in the chat. No, yes, there we go. I've posted this. You can see if you're watching, there is the code for the Team Super Dad Fantasy Football League, ORZ4Y4. Get involved. I think I came eighth last year, just outside the European places. It's good banter, though. I've created a WhatsApp group, which just get in there first, and then we'll sort out the WhatsApp group out another day. So, great to be involved with that. Great to be involved in my kids' football. And also, big up to the managers and all the other coaches. They give their time for absolutely nothing and they create so much joy for the rest of us.

06:52 So, it's good to appreciate those people. Jason, thank you very much. So, back onto my running order for tonight. Oh, my gosh. So, last week, we went down to Brighton making new friends. Um, and uh, a cool lady called Joe. So, we're there, we met her daughters, got the dog, we're at the same park. And so, my daughter, Rosie, goes, Let's go on the pedal. So, she takes Joe out onto the pedal. And I had in my mind that Rosie was up to stuff. And it turns out from talking to Joe this week that Rosie fully grilled her and

07:30 was saying, Do you know any good pubs? Joe says yes, names a couple. And then Rosie says, Oh, you should take my dad to one of them. Absolutely brilliant. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. Classic, my daughter is a force to be reckoned with. And long may that continue into all stages of her life. I'm pretty sure the spirit of my mum is somewhere inside her. And all her, I don't know, she's just charming and brave and she's graceful as well when she wants to be. She's bold as brass. She's a powerful young lady. So, thank you, Rose. You're epic. And

08:15 which brings me on to another subject around schools. So, I got myself into a whole debate this week about, the debate wasn't about upskirting. The debate was about underskirt shorts, tricky to say, underskirt shorts. So, they've introduced a new bit of uniform at my kids' school where kids can, girls can wear shorts underneath their skirt, which seemed a bit strange to me. The first time I'd ever heard of it was when a mum came to the parent group, which I run at the school, and was saying how important it was that this got added to the school uniform.

08:56 And my problem with it was that it got introduced as girls have something to fear from boys. And as far as my two go, I know maybe this is a bit naive. This has been labeled at me on Facebook that I'm naive to presume that my own children's perspective is the only one. But it just concerned me that up until that point, my daughter had never thought about wearing shorts under her skirt because boys were trying to look at her knickers. And my son, who's two years older, about to be 11, has never had the thought of trying to look up people's skirts to see other people's knickers. So, this whole thing is being introduced to my children through the fear of other parents.

09:42 Actually, it transpires that women do this all the time. I didn't even know this. Women wear shorts under their skirts, apparently. Good for riding bikes, good for gusty wind days, good. if your legs happen to rub a little bit at the thighs when it's a hotter weather and some chafing. And people, women in America have commented, women in the UK have commented. And so, yeah, good to ask these questions, otherwise, you never even bloody know. At secondary school, it seems like a bigger problem. I mean, in the UK, there is an upskirting law that got introduced, I think it was last year, actually. I looked it up. So that makes upskirting. So the taking of pictures up people's skirts is now a crime.

10:26 And rightly so, sure, you know, some level of abuse of people's personal space and decency as well. So, so, but yeah, it's it's still like, wow. The reason I got some flack, and I did actually kind of try to engender this, I used the word, is it demonizing men in the Facebook post? And to some degree, some of the responses I got back were so were so strong that it did just prove my point that where there is an inherent fear of the things that men are doing, and that's the first thing that people think, then that is half the problem. Well, not half. That's part of the problem that men have in the world at this moment in time.

11:10 Where the Me Too movement rightly exists, but the impact of that on everyday good guys and how they're being judged now, it just makes it difficult for men to understand how to behave in the world. Not behave. Of course, we know how to behave. We know not to go slapping women on the ass and taking bitches up their skirts. But in terms of our own masculinity, the degree to which you could confidently say hello to a woman or compliment her on something about her, I don't know, her attire or how she's looking or something that she did-like that's that's one part of it.

11:49 And in the household as well, how much of a leadership role you can take as a dad, how much grief you can put up with on the other hand before saying or doing something bad. Like it's a complicated subject, and it's all too easy in the world at the moment for women to make these sweeping statements about men. And then the media jump on the bandwagon, and we all just have to put up with it. And so I feel that going into the future, like equality, rightly so, but equality on all levels, equality for men and women, equality for women and men.

12:27 And, you know, no surprise that somewhere in the comments, the old toxic masculinity got waved around. And I find it pretty ironic that the people that generally bring that up are people who outwardly speak of their own feminist views. And so is this like Black Lives Matters and being unaware of subjects? Well, possibly. You know, I didn't know about how many women wore shorts under their skirts or for how many years that has been a quite normal thing. I've since managed to actually find some short under skirt shorts and buy them for my daughter because she wanted them.

13:08 And that's cool. They're just shorts, right? But it's just very interesting about how these subjects get brought up and how they get dealt with. So love to hear your feedback on that. Love to hear your experiences of that. If you're a dad who's feeling that you're just not quite sure of what the role of masculinity is at your home, in your work, in your business, if you feel like you've been robbed of what it is to be a man, then these are interesting things to hear about. And pretty much, as I've learned from having conversations with some black people around Black Lives Matters, only through these questions and understanding can we broaden our perspective on things.

13:48 So I'm not, what am I not? I'm not worried. I'm not fearful of having those conversations. And it's all good when you get like 50 odd comments on any Facebook post. That's good for other reasons. So thank you, everybody. Good and bad. Bring them on. On, I guess, to Team Super Dad. It's been a busy week. The couple of different masterminds. Well, one mastermind I'm on and one course creation program I'm on. The Hero Academy is pretty much ready. It's live. It's ready to launch. It's something that I'm really excited about bringing dads onto. It's an accountability and monthly accountability and growth program.

14:32 It's all done over Zoom. And really, in those five key areas of Team Super Dad, the focus, fitness, finances, family, and fun, it's a structure. And it's not full on. It's, you know, if you've heard about 75 hard. hard, then that's a whole nother level up. So we're not going to be making you do two lots of 45-minute exercises a day or sticking to a relatively strict diet. But it is about considering, right, let's get down on the floor and do some press-ups and sit-ups and go for a 5k run or a 5k walk if that's where you're at.

15:10 It is about taking account of our finances and looking at different ways in which we can actually create more money or go out and follow that passion that we've been thinking about doing, but have put off for so many years. It is about our relationships and spending time with our kids and our wife or our partner. And it is about having a load of fun with our mates. So come on over to teamsuperdad.com and check out the Hero Academy. And I'd love to see you on board. It's going to be starting in just a couple of weeks. Epic. Old mates visiting. I mentioned fun and friends inside there. I had Speedy down this week, one of my oldest friends from as far back as university goes. And his name is not Speedy. Hilarious.

15:54 When we lived in London together, he came down and was talking to people he worked with, introducing himself as Peter, looking to grow up in the world and have everyone know him as Peter. And of course, no sooner had I started talking about him and shouting, oh, it's Speedy in the pub than all his new friends started calling him Speedy as well. So he will always be Speedy and it will always be good to see him. We had a great sort of 12 hours together, not seen him literally for over a year, which is a shame. But yeah, just brilliant. There's speaking personally, there's nothing better than hanging out with old friends because you just get straight back in the groove.

16:35 You've got such a connection. It's good to hear about what they've been up to. There's obviously a love and affection for them succeeding. But also there's the laughter as well and just the honest, genuine laughter of hanging out with old friends. We had dinner. We watched some telly. We had some laughs. We had breakfast in the CAF. Good old British CAF. Sadly, we were the only people in there. People just aren't venturing out, which as the UK goes above one in the R rate as well, who knows what's going to happen in winter. I hope that we all just get on with it. I hope we just all get on with it, find a new level of acceptance for this COVID thing, find a new way of putting all up, putting up with it, and that they find a vaccine and a cure for it all soon.

17:25 Personally speaking, get yourself some zinc, some vitamin D and some vitamin C set tablets. I will post a link in the Team Super Dad group and on the Team Super Dad page of some stuff I've been taking, which is basically those things, as well as my multivitamin from bulk powders. Also boosting my immune system with, it's a zinc and vitamin C tablet and it's a vitamin. Oh no, that's the ones I've got for the kids. The kids have got vitamin C and zinc tablet and then a separate vitamin D. And then I've got this other zinc and vitamin B vits and vitamin D all in all in one.

18:01 So just if nothing else, well say if nothing else, do loads of things, get out, stay fit, but go out and get yourself some multivitamins, particularly focus around zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, and the and the vitamin Bs to really boost your immune system. If we go into winter and you want to stay safe, then that's got to be part of the process. Which leaves me on, oh, two final things. So yeah, the my fitness and pain. Like, oh my gosh. So if you follow the daily sweat in the Team Super Dad group, you'll know that I post every day my different exercises from every day. And it's been hard over the last week with the back pain and shoulder pain. I've just today bought, and I'll show you next week.

18:45 I'll send it, I'll put pictures up as well. I've bought a posture correction like gizmo. It's like a harness, shoulder strap. And I thought they were bollocks, basically, but a couple of different people said to me today, oh, it was on the mastermind. If you don't invest in a mastermind, then you really should be. Obviously, the Team Super Dad mastermind is where I'm going to point you. But that's more for accelerating your dad life, really. There are ones for work, business, and find out about it. Get yourself on them. I'm on the change your game mastermind. I've done the key person of influence, mastermind, and business accelerator.

19:29 These trainings, this enhancement, this taking on new skills, sharpening the sword, as Stephen Kobe says, are absolutely vital to your success and future. And my back. Yeah. So I bought the harness thing. Funnily enough, a girl I dated when I was younger, quite big boobs. So she had to have a thing to work on her posture. Bless her. I won't mention her name, but a quality woman who I'm still in contact with. So she knows who she is. Howdy. So it's going to come. And then the kids are

20:07 here and there. They're not here. I've got to work out the new routine now that we're back in school, but still keeping on the running and getting some level of this, this regular, it's the F5 fitness, the press ups, sit-ups, burpees, 5K, and the bleep test. That is the baseline fitness inside of the Hero Academy. But actually doing that myself. And I am contemplating doing the 75 Hard, which is happening all around the world. It's a bit like one of those, I don't know, a bit like a diet or something like that. Amongst men's groups, lots of people are picking up this. It's from Andy Frisella, who used to have a supplements company.

20:44 He's now got a quite, well, very popular podcast. He's quite sort of right-wing, you know, in an American right-wing way, Republican right-wing way. So if you're not a fan of Trump or some of those leanings, then you might not enjoy his podcast. But the 75 hard movement is pretty amazing. So for any super fit members of Team Super Dad, we'll consider that. And I'm seeing the osteopath and just working on that as like, don't be in pain. Don't put up with pain. You've got to work on it. You've got to make sure your body as a machine is there to support you. My dad's 77. Just chatting with him last week when I was having dinner with him.

21:25 And as well as his old age and what comes with that, we've got to get him more mobile and more and in less pain. So whatever age you're at, it's not okay to live life in everyday pain. Some of it will be brought on by stress. Some of it will be brought on by posture. Other parts will be brought on by just a lack of general fitness. Who wants to put up and contend with regular everyday pain? It's not necessary. So address it. Come on over into Team Super Dad and we'll talk about it. I've got a couple of guests. Adam Cox is a back specialist. And I'm having a conversation with an old osteopath friend of mine about coming on the podcast. He's not so keen on coming on a podcast, but I have said to him, you'll be great. You're a lot of fun.

22:09 This is going to be easy. This is going to be good. So I guess finally on that point, if you've enjoyed the podcast, please go over and leave us a review. iTunes is the best place. If there's an area for reviews on the podcast provider of your choice, then leave Team Super Dad a review. You're listening today, so that's great for our ranking on the podcast channels. And by all means, just give a share and send this podcast, send this episode, this live video to other people you know. The bigger we can get it, then the more dads that we can support. Business owning dads, busy dads, dads who want to create their best life ever, dads who want to transform their health, wealth and happiness.

22:53 We're working together to make that happen. And mainly, the number one reason is to create happy, positive lives for our family, for our children, for our loved ones. So if that's a message that resonates with you, thanks for being here. As always, there'll be a interview episode coming up on Sunday. And so enjoy that. It is with Andy Laparta. So watch out for that. Thanks for joining me today. Have an awesome weekend. Come on, you Spurs. I'll see you next time. Team Super Dad out. Bye. This has been Team Super Dad.
