The wrap-up doesn't always happen on Friday but generally does

00:43 If it's the weekend I got the kids, it's going to happen later because we've got to pick them up at 12.30 and if it's not the weekend they got the kids then it's going to be a lunchtime wrap-up as always like normal so welcome where are you what are you up to?

01:25 If you've not joined the wrap up before, it is literally that. It's literally what the hell has been going on this week? It's a crazy world and I'm kind of...it's boring to keep saying it's a crazy world. It's a strange time. It's a different time. It's a crazy time. Do you know what? Is the time we're in if you were If you were in a war, if you were in the plague like this. There's always crazy times who knows what's crazy and what's not crazy? This is pretty crap though isn't it gotta be honest but we're getting on with it We are getting on with it this week has been one of those down weeks Do you have... I think everyone does right do you have downtimes uptimes downtimes

02:09 I am pretty sick like that they call it if you know about these things is your car cadian cycle your car cadian rhythm which is more like your energy through the day but you can have as well for your overall mood. And and wellness so this week I don't know if it's been one of those down weeks or if I just had a load of crap things to deal with. It's, it's uh...it's been my boys 11 plus which in the UK for some parts of the UK it's a school test an admissions test you're getting Tested to see how clever you are basically and it's not only about clever is about aptitude and stuff up to having just been through this process. It's nine months of getting ready for it speaking to other parents, it's no very nice experience really and I'm okay with that i think that

03:06 It does us good to experience a bit of stress. It does us good, To learn what it takes to succeed at something and make no bones about it this is not stuff they know right some of the maths is English comprehension kind off but then when you get down to nonverbal reasoning and you happen to twist stuff around see whether its reflection or rotation or what comes next crack the code crack the code oh my gosh crack the code I've learnt loads, i think i shared this before but this was the actual week so his mother and i are not on the same page about this whole subject and not surprisingly it gets to the final week. And yeah she takes him away for the weekend beforehand naturally that didn't really go down that well with me some might think that was fine others might think thats not fine thats for other people to decide but

04:01 It just created this tension and tension and my whole goal from it was that we would get to this point, and he would be ready. I'm confident we could just roll into its smoothly rather than there was stress the stress came before rather than wait until the last minute of your really stressed and be stressed if they wake up at seven He was pretty chilled actually at mine the morning of it and sadly before that we had a whole meltdown school involved. Clearly I've got one perspective other people have another perspective, the school and it's just like wow!

04:41 If you've been involved with the school process, if your kids... maybe your kids have never had a phone call from their headteacher. I know that I put my parents through enough phone calls from head teachers and stuff so it doesn't seem that strange! In my last year of primary school, I got...I climbed on the roof one day. That didn't go down well! Another time i decided to bring cans of drink in from our home and then hand them out like the Pied Piper and uh..and I ended up biting I think it was Adrian Jones. I saw, I'm really sorry Adrian! A bitter on the arm clearly that doesn't go down well either so just trouble everywhere. I don't think it's that abnormal for 11 year old kids to be getting themselves into trouble

05:30 I won't share what necessarily went on and maybe that was enough cause for the school to be alarmed. But, i think there were other forces at play which... That's just life right? It's the best thing about these kind of things if you've got school tests coming up, If you've got driving lessons weddings, bar mitzvahs whatever the family occasion is The more you can be on the same page The more you can be a united front and support each other is obviously no brainer. And to presume that not being on the same page is not going to stressful, it's just ridiculous so I gotta find a way to communicate and be a team wherever they were even if your not a team as far as your kids are concerned you got to be a team in relationship out of relationship married or not married whatever

06:19 So I can see people watching, wherever you're at say hello. Let me know what you're up to let me know what your Friday night looks like where are you who are you? Who are you in the Team Super Dad community? Are you on my personal page or your YouTube wherever you are come and say hello So this week on the Team Super Dad podcast, by the way this wrap up it will end up as a podcast you might even be listening to it as a podcast. If you're watching live now give us a little like and share get some other people involved if you are on the podcast then leave us a review

06:54 Make sure you subscribe, that is absolutely obvious. Make sure you subscribe otherwise your not going to get the next episode and those are coming up I just interviewed this week Laura and Barry Ash of Rock Solid Health so they're a married couple who have got this whole... it is fitness but its also mindset, its also just healthy living and their a really cool couple absolutely I just mentioned that word team before and they are absolutely a team. Laura shared about some of her mental health challenges it was mental health day this week gone by she shared about how she got retired from work from the police force early thirties bipolar,

07:46 Quite bad OCD and gets retired from work, from a job she loves. She gets retired from work I'm going to open up my Friday night beer it's actually a cider but let's crack that open because i am thirsty um she gets retired from that right no kids got a few cats so if you're a cat person we decided that three cats was the upper limit before you are officially a cat lady You know we spoke about how did they, how did they see that through like as a couple. How did they see her challenges through? Her health challenges, her mental health challenges...how do they see them through really something I can relate to having been through some challenges with my wife and not coming through the other side. How do you make it work? How do you support each other what does being a team in that situation look like so important

08:45 We shouldn't let our health or mental health problem come in and break our relationship. So if you're going through some of that now, then get help chat to people come on be part of Team Super Dads. I don't know talk to your...I'm not gonna say church because that's what we did it was very bad but if you were in a good church if you could trust those people I would still say make sure you balance that with professional help and support But really cracking podcast that will go live as a podcast later next week and it's also its live now as the recording is there is the live video on Facebook channels and on YouTube. Also interviewed this week David Walsh who is a YouTube expert actually is one if you go over to YouTube and look at David Walsh online, you'll see his hundreds of thousands of subscribers and however flipping million views

09:39 All about how to smash it on youtube so we talked how to get you famous and it wasn't just about that we do talk about his story in his journey. His relationship with his wife there actually rock solid team no kids either actually so, I think that doesn't matter you know i like to interview people who've got something to share and there was lots of comments coming in on the different channels as we were doing that conversation because people want to know how to make it big on youtube and that very much falls into both the finances section of Team Super Dad because using YouTube to make money but also the family stuff, because pretty much if you've got kids they're going to be wanting to put videos on YouTube. They'll be watching

10:24 Vlogs and Norris Nuts, and other families and vloggers. The vlog squad from over in the States David Dobrik and his crew so there's it's kind of like a pressure if you're uncertain about it but David really shared some cool stuff about why we shouldn't be afraid of using YouTube or letting our kids use it as long as we support them which I'm totally on board with little drink cheers! So last weekend kid free weekend And Saturday hung out, you might see in the pictures. Hung out with one of my best mates cheeky little 11k run followed by a nice hot tub followed by breakfast which is great morning and then Saturday afternoon went down to Brighton saw Jonathan Drew and his lovely partner Sophie and just nice to be there in the sun hanging out went on a date in the evening and just had a really awesome Saturday

11:25 Sunday, for some unknown reason I get up. If you follow me on Strava if you're on Strava please share your Strava address or come and find me on Strava Jonnie Jensen because i love connecting with my mates and online contacts. Strava Sunday morning I go out for my run as I've hung out with my dad for two-and-a-half hours when he gets up at 6 30 which I do normally just not when I've been to bed a half one So we're chatting over classic FM and stuff. And then I said, right? I'm going for a run. It was gorgeous. I used to live in Brighton so we'll run it. I get down to the seafront and I can see the pier. The pier is about three kilometers away

12:09 And the sun is out, it's a beautiful morning. Loads of people running, whole shebang! The sea and the sun... So I get towards the pier and used to live that end of Brighton so now i can see the run to Rottingdean which I used to do and I think well its gorgeous im just gonna go for it. So then past the marina turns out it's seriously long way. I get to Rottingdeen 10k look at my watch just over 10K. So of course I'm like ahh I've now got to run back just as far I've done like a 21k run in the end, which is getting on for half marathon. As i get back into Brighton coming in the other direction is um... Is the lady I've been on a couple of dates with and as I must look like absolute crap! I've fallen over and cut my hand so there's blood on me and-and I've just done it like half marathon oh hi we go for a coffee

13:07 I have got flapjacks, a banana, bacon sandwich, she's vegetarian and i've got about a bunch of salt sachets which are pouring a cup top up with water stir it around so now stuffing all this food in my mouth and drinking saltwater. Oh hi how is going good to see you know so its just...I can't even remember what we talked about or whether I look like absolute nutter We'll see I'l let you know is either very endearing or a massive put off so we will see what happens there but it was an awesome weekend, Sunday lunch with couple of friends afterwards and every time i'm down there. It's just more evidence more reminders that that where i would much rather be living in and will do will end up back there in due course

14:02 In due course, in due course is the exact segue into the next subject of money management. A couple of conversations in The Team Super Dad group this week just about managing finances and managing money I had to do a whole load of juggling of finances during the first part lockdown which kind of coming back not haunt me but it's just taking stuff to organize right so you know what? It's...I have started managing my money a lot better over the last year But it's like anything, there is levels to it and stages to it. And I'm realizing through talking to Daniel Latow this week and some other comments that still the level to which I manage my finances can be stepped up in. It feels like oh really all that much trouble or does it really matter? And actually when you start to do it, you really can see it does matter your income expenditure a cash flow like tracking

15:01 If you're spending this much, how are you going to have not in a week's time but what's Christmas gonna look like? It's a business thing really but to bring that into your personal life if you know if that's how businesses are successful it shouldn't be surprised that is how individually you can be successful as a couple in particular running cash flow in your household absolutely vital so inside the finances section of the team super dad programs the F5 and hero academy there's some cool Sessions coming up around money management, income and expenditure cash flow. And because you can't start to invest and save and make money until you got that under control so absolutely key part of being an epic dad managing your finances and having great success it's a journey right we're all on the journey that's the whole part I never professed to be in the expert or these things but i am connected those people and I'm bringing them into the rest of you guys

16:03 I know the subject of bringing in for the rest of you guys it's is that cool i've created something called a dad call which can be on monday nights is the perfect way to kick off your week. You know everyone talking about mental health lockdown blah blah blah and i mean that's just at the moment right but the fact that talking chatting hanging out laughing It might not be that we remember going to the pub and talking about serious things you know it's kind of a cliche that men don't talk i think a lot of men do talk is just this mixed in around banter and about about piss taken.

16:45 Attractive women from across the bar and things like that you know it's very bloke ish to do those sorts of things but increasingly i do hope and I do believe more men are asking each other how you doing. And the important thing if you get asked that question is you can't just say im fine and brush off If you don't feel like it's the time to talk about say, do you know what cheers for asking me that I'd love to bring you up tomorrow and tell you. That's the perfect thing people don't ask if they don't really care what you gonna say back them and a dad call is is the answer that is the tonic to that so it is going on Monday nights 8 till 930 and

17:23 You bring whatever you want. You bring your week, you bring a challenge, you bring an idea, you'd be in a problem it is safe space for dads to get together. It's going on Zoom. If come over to the Facebook group facebook.com forward slash groups forward slash Team Super Dad then you can see in the events that the dad call is posted there and if you go over to team superdad dot com and get on the on the dad list Then details will be coming out about the Dad Call and how you can participate. Honestly, we all need to get clear sometimes to shake off the crap and The Dad Call is about that I don't want it to be serious there may be some serious conversations from time to time We may just mix it up with who knows? A silly picture something a sketch of Monty Python's sketch which will share it from YouTube during this session but The Dad Call is the place

18:22 Just relax, just be cool. Get it off your chest get a problem solved have some fun we might not be able to go down the pub so much over the next few months few weeks few months So break up a beer bring it to the dad call and let's have some fun this has been The Wrap Up We do every week there is loads of stuff coming down the track with Team Super Dad Come and get involved whether it's at TeamSuperDad.com, whether it's on the Facebook group Team Super Dad just literally search Team Super Dad Jonnie Jensen an we will hook you up whatever you need one-on-one coaching as well is actually got some awesome clients at the moment doing some amazing things there supporting them

19:06 This is my vision this was my plan going back as far as 2007 originally for the lodge and then 2016 up that mountain in Austria. I'm doing it, its happening and the degree to which you want to get involved will determine how much more we can make happen how much more fun we can have with it I'm tentatively hoping that we can have a fire walking event in February.
