The Team Super Dad Wrap Up #18

00:00 Welcome to Team Super Dad. It's the end of another week and it's the wrap up 18, 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 Welcome to The Team Super Dad Podcast it's the wrap-up its Friday is the end of the week This is Jonnie. You're with the Team Super Dad crew, friends family members all around the world Like I said it's Friday and if you have been here before then you know that we like to celebrate the week that has been

00:42 And all the highs and lows, and there are always both basically. I've got my running order and i've done three podcasts this week so you may well be sick of the sight of me if you're watching the live stream! If you're following on the podcast then great thank you for subscribing. If you're not subscribed to the podcast yet then make sure you go and do that at your favorite podcast If it's not Apple Podcasts or Google Podcast, there are loads. I love Breaker which i think is on Android as well now but its on iOS really cool podcasting app because its really social so you can see what your friends and people who your connected to are also listening too and when people like it or rate it then you get notified so you can see whats fun basically. Do you know what?

01:34 Silly podcasts recently, although I can't seem to find too many that are really really funny. Even my old favourite Views with David Dobrik and Jason Nash it's not quite as funny anymore! They just waffle on maybe i'm waffling on who knows so Welcome, like I said if you're not familiar with the wrap up yet. It's the end of the week too many people have goals and challenges and you get down to business and particularly men we have a habit of not recognizing how many things we've achieved in the week gone by And if you got along list of things do then you could end up really stuck in what you haven't done rather than acknowledging what you have done So it's a bit fun, you know is a bit of fun and we like to just go through what's been happening

02:24 The podcasts, right? Three conversations this week. Number one Kim Campion we talked how to make the law of attraction work for you which I didn't actually realize what we were going to talk about she is an empowerment she calls herself the Empowerment Wiz so So, and she said she chose that because she seemed that everybody every Tom Dick and Harry was sticking the word expert after their name. And she was like you know what it's not about being an expert its about the work I do and leaving those people empowered. And I think maybe the word empowered probably speaks louder to women than men but mindset

03:02 Mindset is a word that probably speaks to men louder than women, but both of those as we got down to it come into the realms of creating the life that we want. Creating the opportunities that we desire and living literally living the life that we plan which is the law of attraction so If you don't know much about that, Kim and I talk about it quite a lot but we also reference a book called Ask And It Shall Be Given by Abraham Hicks. Absolutely brilliant book! Really practical and encouraging positive book about just... well yeah it's kind of about the law of attraction really but it really is about creating positivity in your life such that life works out better for you and there are..it's just a really cool book so check that out

03:50 Raymond Holt spoke to in the middle of the week all about cash flow and managing your money, managing your personal cash flow. And that was so powerful! Raymond's doing some training modules inside of The Hero Academy course just to have a grasp of your money, to be not just doing an income and expenditure so you know what you spent last month but looking ahead into the next year really in seeing oh wow I'm gonna run out of money or it's a holiday coming up how we're going to have enough money for that. And most importantly the idea two core things actually When you start to manage your money more consciously, you will end up having more money. There'll be less waste and you will end up having more money and that's particularly important if you've got goals and targets for the saving for moving house whatever it might be. And most importantly Raymond pointed out in his experience

04:41 Where however your money's going, that's where your relationship is going. So if your money is not going well then your relationship is not gonna last is basically his point there so pretty blunt and pretty powerful so get tuned into that And to lighten the mood, today I had the most amazing podcast. Brilliant conversation with Pete Kan, The Laughter Man you should go and check out the live stream of that. The podcast will be out with the amount i've got to do it will because...I don't put them out like all three at once It'll be a couple weeks before the podcast comes around but Or I might just bring it to the front because it was so much fun. But yeah, come and subscribe to the podcast wherever you are listening or whether you listen to your podcasts or on YouTube. On YouTube join the Team Super Dad Facebook group on Facebook obviously if you go to YouTube and a quickest way is get there is go to teamsuperdad.com forward slash video

05:36 TeamSuperDad.com forward slash video and that will ping you over to our YouTube channel if you subscribe to that, You'll be in on all the live streams there but of course if you want it in the car then subscribe for the podcast so watch out for those coming up! Laughter... That's what Pete and I were talking about absolutely brilliant He's a laughter, he does laughter yoga. He's also a chef and has got pretty successful chef like recruitment business but obviously in the time of COVID and lockdown you don't need to chef there is no work for chefs! And this sideline that he had going on with the laughter has just really taken off. Imagine if you've seen

06:17 So imagine laughing, right? And it being relaxing. Imagine laughing and it giving you a boost at the beginning of day even imagine laugh laughing and it being exercise all of those things are one of my favourite movies ever Mary Poppins there's a scene in there where we're oh my god I've forgotten his name! Where Mary and Jane and Michael and what the flip is next to his name And the bloke, right? Go to his uncles and they sing I Love To Laugh. Absolutely brilliant.

06:54 One of the best scenes in the movie. And we talked about that because when you, when you laugh, you literally generate positive hormones and endorphins. You actually feel good is one of the most amazing things about being human is that we can generate this thing off. We don't even have to hear or see something funny. We can just do it. Pete and I did a couple different exercises in our conversation where we laughed, where we absolutely laughed our arses off so So if you need a laugh, if you want to find out how to get some more laughter in your life then just go and listen to that podcast or watch that video on the Team Super Dad channels. So what else? What else? I have faced some pretty interesting challenges this week dealing with my kids' school and some like I said some challenges that are coming up there and I'm not going to speak about what those challenges are mainly because that could come back and bite me but

07:50 Getting support back from the different men's groups, of course the Team Super Dad community which is what I run and what you're part of as you listen to this. But also some other dad communities both from a single dad point-of-view and from a personal development and coaching point-of-view just to be able to have that group that circle of men to go and take my challenges too. And yes i've got my family Not all of them are involved in this but sometimes you need some outside input and having a group of men that you can

08:32 Share with you can get their experiences back from some of it will be holding you to account. Of course, other bits will be comfort and encouragement and support is just vital particularly in these times at the moment where it could be money It could be the pressures all been a home. It could be absolute anxiety and possibly even depression The most important thing Is that you've got other people around you? People who Maybe even your friends you don't feel that comfortable sharing some personal stuff with, but being part of an extended community you can be that open and upfront about it. We've got the Dad Call coming up this Monday so its bi-weekly and the dad call is this Monday its a completely safe and private closed space where you can just be part of the group we're chatting

09:20 Some of it's funny, some of it silly and also some of its a bit serious. We you know people bring whatever they want to that call and sometimes it's a request for help and we're all there to do exactly that! It's bloody brilliant so come on over totally free go to teamsuperdad.com forward slash dadcall and you can get all the basically get yourself registered for it so you get the zoom link obviously it's private so you need to do that to get the zoom link Next up, next up I have got a half marathon. Today's Friday right so i've got half marathon tomorrow it's all happening is organized by the Tunbridge Park Run gang if you don't know much about park run then it is a phenomenal movement and organization started in the UK and it pretty much is as simple as a bunch of people getting together for free timed run to 5k run all skills and abilities welcome

10:16 And to whatever degree, I don't really know the backstory of it but the Tunbridge Park Run crew are organizing a virtual half marathon tomorrow. So i will be doing with a couple people but there's been a course mapped out and anytime you can go run this half marathon...I think even some people are doing a marathon which is another story all together! I did the New York Marathon once and it was horrific, and I've never done a marathon since. And it's not saying that I won't do it again! I enjoy triathlons the experience the struggle the training all of it but I did not enjoy the marathon basically but I dare say we'll do another one one day but half marathons quite enjoyable still quite painful but quite enjoyable and tomorrow I'm going to be doing one with my good friend Athos and his wife Anna

11:02 So, whatever you're doing this weekend make sure you get out and do the daily sweat. I have had some trouble with the daily sweat over the last 10 days again my troublesome neck and shoulders I was back at the Osteopath on Monday. Luke, the osteopath in Bairsted Maidstone which won't be of any use to most of you but it is bloody good for anybody who's in the let's say 15-20 miles within of Maidstone. Luke is flipping awesome and especially if you've got some challenges that are sports related he really specialises in that so yeah that's Luke but I'm a big fan of osteopathy

11:40 You know we've got to look after our bodies and to sit in a desk like this all the time or whatever your work has you do invest in yourself. Of course, fitness and the gym and buying the trainers and all that sort of stuff that costs money. But if you don't look after your body as well if you're living in pain then just stop it go out get that sports massage find osteopath do whatever it takes to get your body working again because its not right anybody should go through life living with aches and pains constant constant aches and pains just dont Just just go find someone if you want some input on it come and talk to me I will gladly share my thoughts of my journeys. You know, i've had backache problems with my hamstrings problems with my neck and Luke tells me oh yeah that's from years of running basically and he's now fixing or unraveling it all when of course is taking time but its worth it is worth it! And what else we got here on the Running Order

12:43 Done the Dad Call, The Men's Community, Laughter, The Half Marathon. I think that just leaves the Fantasy Football. If you are a football fan then you'll be... You may well be playing fantasy football! In Team Superdad community we have our own Fantasy Football League it's on the official Premier League app Which you can get on obviously Android and iOS. But even if you've had a team since the beginning of the season, but you've not been in our league whatever your points are when you join the league you will have those points so if you got flipping loads of points 500 points let's say you would come straight in and be at number one of the Team Super Dad group so all your points carry over So if you have a team

13:29 On the official Premier League Football Fantasy App, then come and get involved in the Team Super Dad Fantasy League. I'm going to paste our code in the chat now, paste it on all of the channels. This won't post My personal Facebook or the Team Super Dad group. So you need to come and ask me for that, but I will see your comments if you asked me for the code i'll tell you and I can tell you right now. I can put it on screen right now how about this boom The code is lowercase all lower case O R Z

14:07 Four, number four. Y4 so it's O-R-Z number four letter y number 4-O-R-Z 4Y4. Come on get involved! It's like it's fun and the reason I'm sharing this is because well because it's a fantasy football league right? The more people we have in the league the better right? It's more fun but I do this with my son and from the age of about six to nine maybe three seasons We did the cards, the match attacks and it was brilliant. And it did cost a lot of money but we also did it... The second and third year costed me a lot less than the first year because we found swap clubs and things like that so

14:52 You know you don't have to continuously buy the cards, make sure you're doing lots of swaps. But the best thing about it was that it was a chance for me and my son to chit chat about stuff and it's not on the Xbox is not on the mobile phone um and it's just a shared interest like work hard to find shared interests last night my daughter and I did some drawing we like drawing right I am a way better drawer than i was when i was younger and but just have the confidence to do it. And if you don't then make that part of what you're doing go on YouTube and find like howtodraw Turns out one of the ways to start drawing is you draw the shapes, circles triangles oblongs. It sounds ridiculous but I read this in a book that i bought about how to draw and then and then you turn those random shapes into the different parts or whatever it's your drawing last night I had to copy and draw five Christmas hamsters

15:47 Five Christmas hamsters to go on the front of a Christmas card that she was making. Big up to my sister Lou who gave the kids this bumper Christmas make and do box that the kids have absolutely been loving! So whether it's your daughter, whether it's your son I'm sure plenty of girls out there enjoy the fantasy football as well so get involved with them and if you're a dad that thinks they don't really know how to do make-and-do or aren't very good at drawing then To hell with it. Just go out there and learn, take it on as a challenge even if you're just showing your kids that you can... You can learn a new skill right? Take it on! Get excited about the stuff you do with your kids

16:27 And that's the wrap up. If you go over to any podcast channel, you can see all the old podcasts and if you subscribe to it obviously you will get notified of the upcoming ones. If you're part of the Facebook community or on YouTube make sure you set the notifications this is really really important especially if you're in the Facebook group choose to have the notifications on. If you look at the pinned post at the top of the group it tells you how to turn on notifications It's pretty easy, but I've made a little video for you and everything. The more you keep in touch with the content that's coming out from me and Team Super Dad, then the better it is for you to respond, to share, to like. And that the more dads can be supported by the work that we're doing. Christmas is in five weeks time! The end of the year is in 43 days time. That is just over a month so whatever it is that you're up to make sure you put a plan in place for Christmas. We're possibly going to be in lockdown so just make sure you've got some plans

17:23 Plan A, Plan B even plan C. Same goes for New Year's Eve and you know what? Let's get excited about 2021! I'm all for the vaccine...I don't even think this COVID thing for most of us is that bad but it shut the world down if if the vaccine is going to help us get back to normality then I'm all for that and conspiracy theories whatever abound uh I just would like to see the world back to normal As quick as possible so we can all get out and have some fun, have some hugs go to some parties. Get drunk with strangers and do a conga around the pub whatever it is that you might go see my family in America don't see my family in France

18:04 You know, let's just get back to some normality. Our mental health depends on it and the mental health of our kids and their future depends on it so that's all part of conversation is going in Team Super Dad as well just come and get involved I'd love to have you onboard and I'd love to work with you as well if you want to find out about any of the dad coaching then just go to team superdad and hit me up be great to chat!
