The Team Super Dad Wrap Up #17 cover

About this episode

The seventeenth Team Super Dad Friday Wrap-up addresses the legal fallout of the Johnny Depp libel case against The Sun and its implications for male domestic abuse victims. Host Jonnie Jensen examines the systemic dismissal of men in family courts and abuse investigations while reflecting on the superstition of Friday the 13th. The episode connects the wealth-building legacy of UK astrologer Russell Grant to modern financial discipline for fathers.

Financial advisor Raymond Holt and wealth expert Daniel Latto contribute strategies for the upcoming Hero Academy launch, focusing on personal cash flow templates and debt management. The F5 workout routine, developed with personal trainer Pete Bennett, provides a high-intensity 15-minute circuit of press-ups and burpees to combat lockdown isolation. Beijing Solanke’s micro-goal methodology is introduced as a tool for fathers to maintain momentum through specific daily tasks like the Daily Sweat challenge. Additional segments cover child counseling during parental separation and the importance of the Dad Call support group for navigating Tourette's syndrome and autism.

Nostalgic reflections on childhood toilet roll fights in the UK provide a humorous contrast to the challenges of raising increasingly independent and grumpy children. Jonnie Jensen shares a homemade sweet and sour sauce recipe inspired by his daughter’s quest to taste 100 different foods. The episode concludes with a warning about football shortages at Sports Direct and a reminder to prioritize connection over isolation.

Team Super Dad Friday Wrap-up and Horoscope Nostalgia

The host introduces the seventeenth edition of the Team Super Dad Friday Wrap-up, noting a shift in schedule due to childcare responsibilities. He reflects on the superstition of Friday the 13th and recalls the popularity of daily horoscopes in UK newspapers like The Sun. Mention is made of Russell Grant, who reportedly built significant wealth through his work as an astrologer.

00:00 Oh yeah, it's the wrap-up 17. You're with Team Super Dad Roll Theme. 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. It's Friday. It's the wrap up. Johnny here. Team Super Dad. Friends, family, members all around the world. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Quick check that the sound is up. Absolute chaos. It's Friday night. It's eight o'clock. Not normally the time we do the wrap-up.

00:42 Wrap-up normally happens at lunchtime on a Friday. But do you know what? Every other week I have the kids on a Friday. And I have got to accept, absolutely got to accept that the likelihood of the wrap-up getting done at lunchtime is almost zero. Or I started doing it at 11.45, 11.45 to 12.15. Probably a good idea. Probably a good idea. Welcome. I haven't even made the banner. It's Friday. Friday the what? Friday the 13th? Do you like, are you one of those people that believes in those sorts of things? Are you superstitious? Absolutely. Absolutely. Where's the wrap-up? There we go. Friday, I'm going to make this banner quickly. Friday the 13th. I don't know.

01:26 Do you remember back in the day, if you're in the UK, you'd read like The Sun or that's pretty much the paper we read. And dear Deirdre and the horoscopes in there. People used to read those things every day. People used to read the horoscopes every day. I'm supposed to be on Instagram. I haven't even set the thing up. Let's go live on Instagram whilst we're doing it. So yeah, people used to read the horoscopes every day. Russell Grant, not Russell, was it Russell Grant? Blimey, I think it was. I think it actually was Russell Grant. Looks a millionaire, I think, from horoscopes.

02:02 Made a million from doing horoscopes. You can make a million doing pretty much anything if you just, you know, make everyone believe that you're the expert in it. Make everyone believe that you're the person. You're the person to do it. Let's get that on reels. Let's get that on live. We're going live on Instagram. And welcome to all the Instagram people. Bring that up a little bit there. Yes. So it's the wrap-up. It's Friday the 13th. And we're here on the wrap-up number 17, which, as I said last week, is pretty good going. I'm very happy to be making these things happen. It is lockdown and lots of challenging times.

CHAPTER 02 / 14 Discussion

Lockdown Isolation Challenges and Maintaining Relationships

A discussion on the psychological impact of lockdown highlights the feeling of the "walls closing in" due to restricted social contact with family and friends. Advice is offered for those in relationships to practice patience and for single individuals to prioritize outdoor activity during the winter months. The host emphasizes the importance of conscious connection to avoid the negative effects of spending too much time alone indoors.

02:45 You know, I'm really recognizing myself the weirdness. You just go through the motions. You're working, you're picking up the kids, you're doing the shopping, and you're thinking everything's okay. And then just stuff starts just like the walls are closing in a little bit and you realize, I haven't seen anyone. I haven't seen my aunt. I haven't seen my dad. I haven't seen a friend. I'm talking to a friend. I'm talking to Athos. And we're about, you know, talking to Paul. I did actually go running with Paul this week. But you're saying, oh, I'll pop around and you're thinking, oh, we're not really supposed to do that. We're not actually allowed to do that. You're not allowed to pop around to someone's house.

03:25 Just get that in your head a second. You're not allowed to pop around to someone's house. And that's the extremeness of what we're living through right now. It shouldn't be taken lightly. If you're married, if you're in a relationship and you're under the same roof, then give each other a break, right? Make sure you're having some fun. Make sure you're giving each other some slack. Really take time to say to someone, how are you doing? Is there anything you need? Do you want me to get out your way for the day? Or, you know, just be conscious of each other's needs if you're like. And if you are single, then make sure you're definitely getting outside. Make sure you're...

04:04 I've been running with Paul the other day. We walked the dogs today with Kelly and the kids after school, friend Kelly. So just be conscious about not spending too much time on your own and particularly indoors as we're into winter. As usual, if you've not been on the wrap-up before, this is the Friday wrap-up. This is the end of the week. I have got people lined up that are going to start doing this with me in a few weeks' time, which may or may not even work, right? Because maybe it will just be loads of blokes chatting, which is another thing altogether. But that's the Team Super Dad gang, co-hosts, different bloggers, different vloggers, other podcasters, just a group of dads, different age groups, different backgrounds, bus drivers,

CHAPTER 03 / 14 Discussion

Goal Setting and Micro Goal Strategies

The host outlines the importance of short-term and long-term planning for personal missions, referencing Yoda’s philosophy of "do or do not." He introduces the concept of micro goals, a strategy learned from mentor Beijing Solanke’s Change a Game program. Micro goals are defined as specific, actionable tasks—such as making a set number of calls—that build momentum toward larger monthly objectives.

goal setting· micro goals· beijing solanke· yoda· productivity

04:50 lecturers, bloggers, like I said. Who else? We got accountants. Take my wallet out. Do you know there's something weird about having your wallet in your back pocket? You don't actually notice that you're sat on it constantly and it actually digs in your ass, doesn't it? So get that out of there. Yeah, so the dad, the dad group, the co-host, they're all coming together. So I'm literally that that is happening. I keep talking about it, but it is actually happening. But in the wrap-up, we just celebrate the weeks, the highs and the lows of the week. This is important that you do this. If you've got a goal, if you've got a plan, if you're working on a mission, right?

05:31 You've got to have longer-term goals, but then you've got to have shorter-term goals. And then you've got to have stuff you're trying to get done day by day, right? And I don't mean trying. It's a shit word, isn't it? What is the Yoda say? There is no try. Do or don't. As if that sounded like Yoda. What does Yoda sound like? All I can think of is the kindergart toy. Which is not Yoda, is it? Oh, actually, that's probably closer to Yoda than the first impression. Anyway, there is no try. Just do or don't do, right? But so I, if you're planning out your day, make sure you've got actions for your day so that you get them done, right? What are you going to achieve today?

06:15 Micro goals. A good friend of mine, a mastermind I've recently been on, a mentor to a certain degree, Beijing Solanke on his change a game program talks about micro goals. So definitely adopting that into my life. You'll see it inside of Team Super Dad. Micro goal is an action that you can take during that day that you know you can complete on. So a micro goal would be, I'm going to make five sales calls or I'm going to call five Team Super Dad members, time, five members of the community. Now they might not answer. So it's very hard to say, I'm going to make five sales today.

06:55 If you track your sales and you know how many sales you convert out of calls, then you might have to say, I'm going to make 20 calls today because then you might know you're going to get five sales on average. But have your micro goal be something actionable and achievable so that you can actually, so you can really feel some momentum towards your weekly goals to your monthly goals. That's a very basic version of setting goals and making them happen. So in the wrap-up, we have to celebrate things that have gone well, but also things that have not gone so well, right? So I got my run in order as usual. If you've been following me, I'm going to have a little sip of beer because it is eight o'clock on Friday.

CHAPTER 04 / 14 Discussion

Daily Sweat Fitness Challenge and Community Motivation

The host promotes the "Daily Sweat" initiative, encouraging community members to post photos of their workouts on Facebook or Instagram. He discusses the physical and mental benefits of exercise, including improved mood and reduced aches. A listener named Issa, also known as Freetown from the London Podcasting Network, is acknowledged as a future co-host for the Super Dad Hangout.

You take a picture of yourself working out and you post it and you put on there, you know, hashtag the daily, hashtag daily sweat, right? It's that simple. Picture of you working out or walking the dog or doing a press up, whatever. You can even, if your daily sweat is getting your end away, then let's have a picture of that as well. An appropriately angled one for sure. But whatever, you know, whatever you're doing to get your workout in, then let's get it on the daily sweat because I want to encourage and motivate us all around our health and fitness.

CHAPTER 05 / 14 Discussion

F5 Workout Routine and Community Prizes

Personal trainer Pete Bennett and the host developed the F5 workout routine, a 15-minute high-intensity circuit consisting of press-ups, sit-ups, and burpees. Each exercise is performed for one minute across three reps with minimal rest. The host mentions plans to offer incentives, such as Amazon vouchers, to encourage participation in the fitness group.

10:34 Pete Bennett, Pete is Pete, right? Pete the PT. Him and I are working on the Team Super Dad workout routine called the F5. I've been trying it out, which is quite simple. It's press-up sit-ups, burpees. The sit-ups can be crunches or whatever version of a sit-up you want to do, the plank, that's fine. And so it's three reps of each one, minute long. So a minute of press-ups, minute sit-ups, minute of burpees. You can take a break in between each one. No more than a minute in between each one, by the way. So the whole thing is done in 15 minutes. And that, if you just start on that, that will be your workout. Okay. Make it happen.

11:17 Picture daily sweat inside the group. I've pinned the daily sweat comment and feed stream to the top of the group for the time being, so you can't miss it. And there should be prizes, some kind of encouragement. Yeah. So we'll work on that. We'll work on some, I don't know, Amazon vouchers or something along those lines for prizes in the end. But we've got to have people on there to make it happen. Where's my little notes? I'm on, by the way, just in case you're wondering, I'm on about post number 85 or 90 on the daily sweat. So no excuses. What's up next? Oh, yeah, man. It's been a tough week this week.

CHAPTER 06 / 14 Discussion

Evolving Parenting Dynamics and Childhood Toilet Roll Fights

The host reflects on the changing nature of his children as they grow into more independent and "grumpy" individuals with their own motivations. He shares a nostalgic anecdote about having "toilet roll fights" in the bath with his brother 30 years ago in the UK. This story serves as a reminder to maintain perspective when dealing with the mess and stress created by his own children.

parenting· childhood memories· bathroom carnage· sibling rivalry· uk

12:03 The kids, I've mentioned this before. They're just going into this new age group, right? And the thing I've started to realize this week is I've got to change. As they change, I've got to change and evolve. They're not my little fun-loving babies that follow me around with wide eyes, just want to play. They're their own grumpy, determined, motivated little humans. And it's unlikely or increasingly unlikely that they're going to want to do the same thing as me. Or in particular, that they're going to want to do the same thing as each other. So just keeping them happy and juggling it all.

12:48 And they make so much mess. It's unbelievable. And at the same time, obviously believable because I can, I remember, I can't, you know, getting in the bath and then just like exploding your clothes everywhere before you get in the bath or the shower. It's a job to get them in there, but then the mess that's been created. But then I remember my brother and I went through a stage of having, you're not going to believe this, toilet roll fights in the bath. Okay, so there was no showers flipping 30 years ago or whatever, not in the UK. Everyone had a bath, right? So we went through this phase of having toilet roll fights. And what this consisted of was getting in the bath and having a toilet roll, fresh toilet roll, getting it wet and throwing at each other, which is hilarious, okay, because it's really heavy and wallops you in the head.

13:39 And it's absolutely brilliant. Apart from if you're the person who's got to clear that up. So kudos to my sister, who I'm pretty sure had to clear that up a number of times, but just clumps, clumps of sodden lu-roll splattered around the bathroom and the upstairs. So, you know, I'm getting tense and stressed out on my kids, but oh my gosh, think of the carnage that we caused. Getting them to wash up. It's just a long journey, right? I was talking to a lady today and she was helping me about another challenge to do with my kids and just how they're coping with the separation and

CHAPTER 07 / 14 Discussion

Child Counseling and the Dad Call Support Group

A discussion on seeking low-level counseling for children highlights the importance of providing them a safe space to talk during parental separation. The host shares his experience reaching out to the Landmark community for support during a difficult week. He promotes "The Dad Call," a bi-weekly private session for fathers to discuss everything from shaving routines and fitness to serious topics like autism and Tourette's syndrome.

child counseling· mental health· dad call· landmark community· autism

14:22 their own mental health and stuff and getting some low-level counseling for our kids, which I'm not sure I necessarily would go and seek as a solution to something. I think I'd look at what was really the root cause of it and make sure that was getting addressed first. But giving him someone to talk to, definitely a positive thing. Him being able to see his parents getting along would also be a positive thing. but you know push comes to shove his needs do do come first and uh and more than anything he communicated that he wanted someone to talk to so so we've created that for him and and and he's got that i i've caused a fair amount of resistance around it but but

15:08 in reaching out to some of my communities this week and um and the landmark community around the instruction leader program and some other other groups i've been in and just said i need some help here i need i'm like i'm struggling with some stuff that's going on with my kids and i don't i don't really know what to do about it and whatever you're going through it could be big or small you know the dad call is is the is the you know the reason we do the dad call every other monday for the team superdad the dad call is a free weekly it's a bi-weekly session on it's a monday night 8 p.m you can register at teamsuperdad.com forward slash dad call that's teamsuperdad.com forward

15:47 slash dad call and it's a just a safe completely private space for dads to to come and connect and have a laugh or get something solved this week we literally just had a laugh we talked about bands and who could sing we talked about shaving routines we talked we just had a laugh and took the piss oh we talked about being fit and who was the the least fit of us um and to be honest even in amongst the banter we talked about um someone's autism and their autistic tendencies and then and we you know read some joking about about tourettes and stuff which obviously isn't a funny subject but is equal but it's you know it's equally brings humor

16:27 and and some we talked about some comedians who use it so the dad call is a perfect place for you to come and come and be part of um teamsuperdad.com forward slash dad call but i reached out to a couple of my communities this week and said um this is what's going on my my the school's been on the phone my wife and i disagree ex-wife and i are disagreeing do you know kids counseling what what do i do and just to be able to talk that through with people just to be able to get a different perspective i've spoken to mums i've spoken to a couple of dads um and also just other words of encouragement from people saying i'm not sure how much hope help i can be but well done for for for bringing it up well if you're not getting enough

CHAPTER 08 / 14 Discussion

Dangers of Isolation and the Power of Support Teams

The host argues against self-isolation, comparing it to a form of punishment used in prisons. He uses the analogy of stars, clocks, and Antarctic expeditions to illustrate that success almost always requires a support team or a collection of parts working together. He credits his own recovery from a tough week to the support received from the Team Super Dad community.

isolation· mental health· support systems· community· antarctic

17:07 support from other people by all means call me the world is a lonely place if you try and do it on your own and in no scenario and i'm going to do a live a specific live stream about this but in very few scenarios is isolation a successful idea right in prison they put you in isolation as a punishment right so why would you put yourself in isolation it doesn't make any sense if you look up at the stars there's billions of them all together doing their thing if you look at the workings of any of a clock a watch a computer a microphone right there's

17:45 hundreds if not thousands of pieces all working together to cause a result even people that do something on their own like if someone walks to the blooming antarctic or whatever they've got a support team behind them that's making it all possible there is almost no scenario where someone completely goes it alone um for for reasons uh for positive reasons okay so whatever you're going through it's the last i'll say on this on this little rant but um i've had a tough week in in certain respects and speaking about it getting it out there and and allowing people to come and support me has been has been a massive massive boost

18:24 so make sure that you do that it's vital it's what it's a key part of what the team super dad community is about and uh and and that's why you know a large part of what we do at team superdad is free and open access to dads men and just come and be part of it come and get involved and particularly the dad call every other monday night money money money money also i guess there's as essence of that i've been working on the hero academy and talking to a new member of the team superdad community who is called raymond holt he is a financial advisor accountant like wealth management guy wealth expert guy

CHAPTER 09 / 14 Discussion

Financial Management and the Hero Academy Launch

Raymond Holt, a financial advisor and accountant, has joined the community to contribute modules on money management for the upcoming Hero Academy. The host discusses the importance of personal cash flow and references wealth creation expert Daniel Latto. The Hero Academy is scheduled to launch in January, preceded by a "Focus Challenge" in December to help dads manage their finances and life goals.

raymond holt· hero academy· wealth management· cash flow· daniel latto

19:04 and just meeting him this week and he's joined the team super dad community and we're going to be working together and doing some modules for the hero academy about managing your money about saving which sounds bloody boring right saving but but seriously it's not christmas is coming up and you're going to blow all the money or are you going to create a financial framework that helps you manage it i i have a cash flow for my business and and and that was impressed upon me when i first started my own businesses i haven't always managed it well but that's why i've got a bookkeeper and she helps me manage it well i have dabbled with having a cash flow for my personal life and this week i have

19:44 have set it up properly. I have set it up absolutely properly to have a cash flow that I'm going to manage for my life. Daniel Latto, also a member of the Team Super Dad community, wealth creation guy. You can join. He's got his own Facebook group, Mastermind, part of which is around wealth creation. And, you know, when you talk to people about what their secrets of success are, there's some really basic things that they do. And one of them is managing their money properly. You hear this expression: what you focus on where attention goes, energy flows. Where attention goes, energy flows. And money is really part of that.

20:25 In the Bible, I'm no religious expert and stuff, but it says that God won't give you money unless you're managing what you've got well, right? Which believe that as you may, like, whether you believe God's going to do that or not, it is a truism that if you create the skills to manage something well, you're probably going to have more of it. If you're a flipping farmer, you don't have to farm a field, you're not going to get many crops. If you look after your field well, you're going to probably get a bumper crop. So money matters, right? And the Hero Academy, there's going to be lots in there about managing your money and making money. So part of that for me was about my own integrity and making sure that I was practicing what I preach.

21:07 As I've said to you all along, I'm no expert in all these areas. I just had a vision to pull the Hero Academy and Team Super Dad together because I thought, if I, how the hell am I going to fix all this? How am I going to kick my life back into action and have it be what I want it to be? And that's when it came to me. I know all the right people. I'm just not listening to them. So that's what I've done basically. There'll be lots going on in December around the focus challenge. And that'll be the roll in to the Hero Academy, which will boot off at the beginning of January. So make sure when you see the focus challenge come up that you get on board that because that will be your gateway, your early bird into the Hero Academy, of which there will be 30 spaces available.

CHAPTER 10 / 14 Discussion

Johnny Depp Libel Case and Male Domestic Abuse

The host examines the legal battle between Johnny Depp and The Sun newspaper regarding allegations of domestic abuse. He argues that the case highlights a global problem where male victims of domestic violence are often ignored or dismissed. While supporting gender equality, the host expresses concern that men are not always given equal opportunity to defend themselves in family courts or abuse investigations.

johnny depp· amber heard· the sun· libel case· domestic abuse

21:54 Don't miss it. Don't miss it. Perfect segue into Mr. Johnny Depp. If you've been watching the Johnny Depp scenario, the libel case with the sun, you've got to check this out to believe it, right? I might get some of this wrong because I don't really follow the news that much, but he was married. And we're talking about the famous Johnny Depp here, right? Swashbuckling pirates of the Caribbean dude, Johnny Depp. He was married to some woman called Amber Heard, who's also like a bit of a celeb. Pretty crazy bonkers marriage by all accounts. Lots of arguments and

22:34 but he took the sun and sun newspaper, which is a UK rag daily, just newspaper in the loosest possible terms. But he took out a libel case because the son called him a wife beater. And he said, basically, I didn't do that. And then he had to took him to court for libel. Loads of evidence about how she'd abused him on multiple occasions and had done so to other people in previous relationships.

23:12 And push comes to shove. The whole case finds in favor of the son and basically saying that Amber Heard has not abused her husband, which in a like in a goldfish bowl scenario, and this is not about does domestic abuse happen to women? Because of course domestic abuse happens to women and that is not okay, right? This is not about the, this is not about that subject, but this is about the subject of men who face domestic abuse and how they are ignored. And this case absolutely highlights that. And it's a problem all around the world. And you want to look at equality. Equality goes both ways. It is really vital that

23:55 just because domestic abuse, domestic violence towards women from men is unacceptable and needs to stop doesn't mean that domestic abuse from women towards men doesn't exist or that it's okay or that it's excused by some other for some for some other reason, right? It can't be that way. And there's a couple of petitions going around, right? Because Johnny Depp's had his career just crashed right now out of all this. And, you know, maybe he should have taken responsibility for the situation a bit more. Maybe he should have left his wife. Maybe he had a reason why he couldn't. Maybe underneath it all, he loved her.

24:36 Maybe, who knows, maybe. I didn't leave my relationship when arguably. I could have. And it's just a really interesting snapshot. If you're a conscientious man, if you're listening and looking at the rise and the ferocity of the feminist movement and equality, which I'm bang on, okay, cool. Let's like, I don't even want equality to be a consideration for my daughter. You know, why should it be? There should be no reason why men and women have different opportunity or are prevented from having the same opportunities. But it has to go both ways in child court, in domestic abuse cases.

Children's Food Challenges and Sweet and Sour Recipe

Inspired by his daughter's goal to try 100 different foods, the host describes making homemade sweet and sour sauce for the first time. The recipe included pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup thickened with a roux. This initiative has led to the family adopting a weekly vegetarian night and exploring new culinary interests.

25:18 There are many scenarios where men aren't given the same opportunity to defend themselves at the very least. So get wise to that and let's all get behind Johnny Depp and support him there. Couple of final things. The food update. My daughter and I, we are, she wanted to try more food, right? That's how cool my daughter is. She's like, I want to try more foods. How many children come and tell you that? How many children say to you, I want to try more foods? Unfortunately, she created a chart which has got a hundred boxes on it, right? So somehow or other, over the next however long, she's put on there 20, 20, 21.

26:00 We've got to try 100 different foods. So this week, for the first time ever, I made sweet and sour sauce. I'm not a big fan of like Chinese altogether. I'd rather have a Thai, I'd rather have an Indian. But she wanted to have, she wants to have it once a week. She wants to have vegetarian night, which I'm also all for. When they're not here, I do eat, I eat less meat and more fish when they're not here. But sweet and sour. So quick rundown of what's in sweet and sour: pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice meal, sorry, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and

26:38 I think that's it. Yeah, that is basically it. Oh, and then some like a bit of cornflour or a what? Oh, what you make a sauce with. Anyway, a roux, a roux, basically. A bit of flour, a bit of oil, make up a roux, bang it all together, bring it to the board, and you've got a sweet and sour sauce. Absolutely brilliant. Sweet and sour sauce. First time. Who'd have thought it? Really tasty. So many dads cook. Okay. And many dads have no idea whatsoever how to cook, what to cook, and just don't do it.

Team Super Dad Cooking Challenge for Fathers

The host encourages fathers who do not currently cook to take responsibility for at least one meal per week to relieve their partners and learn a vital life skill. He suggests that even experienced cooks should challenge themselves by trying one new meal weekly to avoid repetitive habits. Future Hero Academy content will include a cookery section demonstrating how to turn standard pantry staples into 20 different meals.

27:14 So my encouragement to you, not just this week, okay, but every week, if you're not a dad that cooks, then put your hand up at home and say, right, from this week onwards, I am going to cook every Wednesday night and take it upon yourself to go out there and discover how to cook, what to cook. Do not let this be a skill or a thing that just sits with your wife. Looks like I've got another comment here. Why don't what did you? Oh, okay, Freetown. Sorry, buddy. I was not paying attention. I'll come back and answer these questions after my rant about cooking in Freetown.

27:57 Where's my banner's gone? Let's get that back up. The cooking challenge for Team Super Dad. If you've just once a week, right? And if you do cook regularly, because here's the clanger, if you're cooking regularly, okay. If you're cooking regularly, the easy habit is to end up cooking the same bloody stuff. So make a chart, just like my daughter did for me. This is her inspiration. Make a chart and start to have at least one new meal. Try one new food a week. That's it. It will open your eyes to new things that are in the supermarket. It will challenge your taste buds.

28:36 It will get you into conversation with other people. If you're not in a relationship or lockdown, right? Use that night to have people over for dinner. Or if it's about your partner, then use that night as a date night or to pamper her. Get the kids off to bed or whatever that version of that is. But set the table, light a candle, have some fun around cooking. I absolutely love cooking. My dad became part of our life. My mum, I always remember my mum cooking. Of course, then she died, right? And my memory from that time is that my dad didn't cook before she died and he cooked everything after she died.

29:16 I don't know if that's true, but what I do know is that that's when my memories of really being involved in cooking first happened. And I want that to be the same for you and your family. Absolutely go out there and weekly, if you don't cook. decide and tell your family that you're going to be doing at least one meal a week, okay? And get interested, make it fun. And if you cook already and you cook loads of things, then decide that once a week you're going to have something new. Dads, if you are not someone who cooks and do not know where to start, then post in the Team Super Dad group and we will be all over it to help you out.

29:55 I will happily, I think I'm going to do it inside of the Hero Academy anyway, is a whole cookery section of sharing my like my cupboards, what I cook with, and how I turn one set of sort of standard supplies, herbs, spices, oil, you know, things that I shop and buy regularly, how I turn that into about 15 or 20 regular meals for me and Team Jensen. So make it happen. Get involved. Freetown. Freetown asked a couple of questions here way back to when we were. He said, I remember when I realized my, so what if Freetown says, oh, this might not even be Freetown.

Listener Q&A on Parenting and Cash Flow Templates

The host addresses questions from a listener named Freetown regarding the transition to listening to children's voices as they age. He promises to share a Google Sheets cash flow template with the community to assist with personal financial planning. This template is designed to track income and outgoings, helping users see exactly where their money is being spent.

30:33 I is Freetown. He's talking from earlier. He said, I remember when I realized my older twos main characteristic were that my children, it's been great learning from them how should we treat them. My wife is helping this area too. I think I know what you mean there, right? I'm trying to pick that apart. When you say, yeah, you decide what they want because they're my children, you sort of call the shots on what you go and do. And then they get to a certain age and you have to start listening to what they want to do. And you realize that there's suddenly four voices and four wants and four interests to actually accommodate in the house. And then Freetown went on to say, what did you use to set up your cash flow?

31:14 I will share it inside the focus challenge, which is happening at the beginning of December, which is a while away. Freetown, I'll send you it on Google, my friend. I'll send you that. In fact, anybody, if you're watching this, comment below if you want the cash flow template and I will send you that. Raymond and I are going to be doing a live about managing your personal finances. And that's going to be a preview of the focus challenge that's happening in December. So basically, just watch this space. We've got a whole lot of things coming about managing money. It's just a Google sheet, which you can open in Excel as well. It's dead easy. You put what's coming in. You put your regular outgoings and you can actually start to see where your money is and how much you've got.

Christmas Shopping Warnings and Final Sign-off

The host warns listeners to begin Christmas shopping early, citing a personal struggle to find a size four football at Sports Direct as evidence of early stock shortages. He reiterates the upcoming launch of the Hero Academy and the December Focus Challenge. The episode concludes with the host planning to play FIFA with his children and inviting listeners to join the Team Super Dad Facebook group.

31:56 And honestly, like I said, where attention goes, energy flows. Good. Cash flow template. Yes, please. Like I said, if you comment in the description, I will make sure you get that cash flow template. Bum, bum, bum. Where are we? Last thing. That's it. The plan for December. Oh, yeah, the plan for December. I've just touched on that with the focus challenge. And I mentioned it last week about Christmas. I'm sorry to use the C word. Fucking gun. No, I'm sorry to use a C word. Christmas, but it is coming. It is coming. And a couple of things happened today.

32:37 My boy, Jay Go, brand new football, not the most expensive football, but it was on sale. So it's like a 25 quid football down to 16 quid in Sports Direct. I said to him, let's put it in a bag and carry it to the park. He kicked it to the park. And when we got to the park, it had a puncher. Oh, shit. Had a puncher. We got tears. We got meltdown. Brand new football. Week old. If your boy loves football or your girl loves football, you will know how heartbreaking that is. So I went online to replace the football whilst we were in the park as a sort of a surprise for it to come over the weekend. And guess what? I couldn't find a flipping size four football for love nor money. So I think the Christmas rush, even though we're only in the beginning of November, I think a lot of the shopping is going to be done online.

33:20 And I think there are things that you might hope to find that are already selling out. Just like this whole year has been madness. Couldn't buy shaving stuff. You couldn't buy deodorant. Then you couldn't buy weights. Then you couldn't buy flour or baking products. So literally, Christmas presents, make a list and start to get them now because it's going to be a shit show, that's for sure. And you don't want to be missing out. Which all ties back into the money subject of managing your finances between now and Christmas and going into 2021, making 2021 the best year ever. The Hero Academy is launching in January. The early bird in the open enrollment is going to start to happen for that in December when we run the focus challenge.

34:03 If you want the cash flow template, then just comment in this video now, cash flow template. I'll get that sent over to you on an email. And Raymond Holt and I will be doing an intro to all things money. And I've got him scheduled in actually. It's in the next week or so. Raymond Holt will be on the Team Super Dad live and we'll be talking cash flow. This has been the wrap-up. 34 minutes. One of the... longest wrap-ups ever. I guess that's what happens when you do it at the end of the day. I've still got half a beer to finish here, so I'm going to go downstairs, play some FIFA, and hang out with the Junior Jays. If you like what we're doing here, come on over and join the Team Super Dad group on Facebook.
