It's the little things in life that many times mean the most. Bryan Driscoll  @MotivatedLeads  knows that better than anyone. In his troubled teenage years, Bryan drifted and became homeless. But one small act of kindness from a caring family set his life back on track in a positive trajectory.

At the time, Bryan himself didn't realize how big of an impact this small act of kindness would have on his life. But years later, Bryan wanted to repay this family. After being unable to track them down, he decided to pay it forward. Bryan thought about "What does it mean to pay it forward?" He didn't have the means to do grand gestures, so he decided to model what the family did for him.

Bryan shares stories of how his small acts of kindness made national news and helped people in need. And how his small acts of kindness moved those he helped to pay it forward as well. A movement began by small actions. This just goes to show that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is wasted.

Listen to Bryan share stories and insight on how your simple acts can affect others, and how small acts can greatly change your personal life for the positive as well. Of course Brett shares a few Bible verses about being thankful for the little things. They also talk about the pros and cons of doing small acts of kindness anonymously.

Learning how to raise children correctly can seem impossible sometimes. Many times parents tend to overcorrect from their parents' mistakes which just creates more mistakes. And the way systems are set up for our kids, it seems to make them remain kids longer, and they can't think for themselves or really take care of themselves.

With the way kids come out of college, many parents wish they had never sent their kids to college. It leaves us stuck asking ourselves, "How do I raise kids I actually like?" It's important to understand that we're trying to raise kids to be adults, not kids to remain children. With that in mind, there are actually very effective and practical ways to raise up our children exactly the way we want them to turn out.

You can actually easily shape your children to be more grateful, caring, self-reliant, emotionally intelligent, free thinking and financially literate. Scott Donnell helps teach thousands of parents how to not make parenting mistakes that will ruin a child's growth.

 @Scottdonnell  Scott Donnell teaches parents how to prepare your children for the world. He helps show parents how their kids can thrive in everything they do as they grow. It all starts with learning the mindset of Value Creation.

Scott wrote the book "Value Creation Kid: The Healthy Struggles Your Children Need to Succeed." Scott dives deep in tried and true methods of giving your children an incredible advantage for their life journeys.

Scott helps teach a Home Economy System for families, so that kids become critical thinkers and entrepreneurial minded in everything they do. So they become goal oriented and results driven rather than wasting time and effort needlessly for failed paths. This is one way kids prosper when they understand what it means to create value first.

This system helps parents much more easily teach their children about money, and how to make finances fun for kids. But money is only a tool, value creation is the key to finding financial success, as well as emotional and spiritual success.

Scott teaches the 3 E's - Expectation, Expenses, Extra-Pay. When you do these three correctly, your kids won't ask you for money anymore. They'll learn budgeting, delayed gratification, value of goods, trade off of goods. They won't have an entitled attitude. They can prosper without having to complain about a silver spoon in their mouth. But they also won't have a poverty mindset that keeps them defeated. This strategy works much more effectively than old systems of allowance, busy chores, selfish thinking. This helps children understand their roles and responsibilities in their family, but it also gives them great ingenuity and motivation for how to understand and grow the life-giving natural gifts that they have.

Watch as Brett gains a lot of wisdom dialoguing with Scott Donnell about how to truly prosper your kids and your whole family. This is very much a legacy building tool for future generations to prosper from as well.

Cultural Indoctrination can seem so strong when it comes to influencing our children. It's hard to be a father when you're running a business, and feel like you aren't doing a good job at home. It may feel like you're failing and useless. But that's not really true. Dads have so much influence. More than they realize when it comes to their family and especially their kids.

No dad is perfect. But that's okay. Nick Adams knows that more than anyone. Nick had a disengaged alcoholic father who eventually tried to kill him and his mother. Nick had minimal contact with his dad, but he also had many scars. But even though Nick's father was far from perfect, there were still many good things that he imprinted on Nick's life.

Dads influence their kids no matter what. For good or for bad, dads are influencing their children. It's not about doing everything right. It's about making little steps of progress along the way. Many times, it's the very small intentional steps that go far and deep into your child's life.

Dads already have it hard enough. Even when we mess up, it's okay to ask for forgiveness from our kids. Even that is valuable in teaching them and connecting with them. Nick wrote the book "Being The Dad You Wish You Had." Nick doesn't want to remind dads of what they're doing wrong. Nick wrote this book to encourage dads and help them make simple and achievable steps to becoming the dads they want to be. This is a great book to help dads parent well and establish long-standing connected relationships with their children.

NEW IRON DEEP BOOK https://www.irondeep.com/the-secret-war-within

This is a must-read for every highly successful entrepreneur.

Rarely do men have the chance to be authentic, raw and vulnerable with other men. The lack of authentically being known leads to isolation, which in turn, leads to destruction.

Mark Vesper & Steve Sargent of Foxhole Symphony are men equipping men who are seeking belonging, accountability and growth. They have encountered and experienced life changing relationships with other men who have committed to loving each other, continually showing up, trusting each other with personal issues & confidentiality, and walking through life's hardships and struggles together.

Nobody says, "I want to be a bad dad to my kids." Many men are great providers for their family. Many men protect their wives and children from danger. Lots of men do okay at various roles as a father. Yet many fathers fail to make the deep connections or lasting impacts with their children. Why is that?

Disengaged fathers are the one common thread to almost all of societal problems, whether it be divorce, addictions, crime, poverty, teenage pregnancy, behavioral disorders, rape, suicide, etc. Over 80% of incarcerated people have a disengaged father.

80% of young adults abandon their faith when their father has not been their spiritual leader. 80% of young adults retain their faith when their father has been their spiritual leader. When a father follows Jesus, 93% of his family will follow. If only the mother, the percentage drops to under 20%. We can see the overwhelming importance of dads leading & modeling well for their families.

DADCAMP is on a mission to build stronger fathers, which in turn builds stronger families. Jason Braun & Matt Crittendon talk with Brett about their organization, and how it helps teach and equip dads to be the men God intended them to be to lead their families well and leave lasting legacies.  @DADCAMP_org 

Many times in our businesses, we have systems that are too complex. We have employees that become disgruntled, unmotivated, or burnt out. We have leaders who are overpaid and who underperform. We're accomplishing many goals, but they aren't that fruitful because we're forgetting the few goals that we actually specialize and excel in.

Lee Benson of  @execute-to-win  specializes in helping large and small companies fix all these problems and more. In Lee's book "Your Most Important Number" he talks about alignment decisions and accountability. As Lee tells Brett one of his main sayings is 'Execute To Win.' Which is one of Lee's organizations.

In this discussion, Lee delves into the importance of alignment in organizations as well as accountability. What is your Most Important Number & What are your Drivers? What one number above all others 1) reflects the value of your organization and 2) drives behaviors of everyone in the organization? These are critical in understanding and creating the right business strategies for your company and executing effectively.

If you get this right at the top, and communicate it clearly, this will trickle down to each team within the organization for them to create their own unique Most Important Number that will flow into the overarching most important goals. Not only does clarifying the strategy and plan help everyone understand what it is they need to accomplish, but it helps everyone in the business take more initiative and ownership and drives them to add more value to their position. It will help all team members deliver or over deliver toward the goals.

Lee emphasizes that this can't be something that sounds good ideally, it must also be a believable and achievable strategy for proper execution to take place. If the path isn't believable with a proven track, then nobody will be motivated to execute.

Lee overstates that if we can get everyone to understand the vision and empower the team members to truly create value, the planning and execution of goals becomes much more enjoyable. And even though there are struggles, the struggles end up being viewed as fun, because we know there are achievable goals we get to utilize real developed skills and creative cognition that energizes us as our team knows they absolutely were built to overcome each struggle they face.

Apply these values in your home for your children. "Value Creation Kid."

 When it comes to faith, we live in a time where terms like 'Deconstruction' 'Nones' 'Dones' 'Dechurched' and 'Used-To-Be Evangelicals' fill the conversation. Millions of “Gen-Zers” and Millennials have walked out of church and their faith. We are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in US history. So why are so many dechurching? And is there anything we can do about it?

Entrepreneur & Former Fighter Pilot Dennis Allen dives deep into the topic of why Millennials are leaving the church. This topic is what Dennis likes to call “The Disciple Dilemma.” In fact, he wrote a book on it. Dennis answers many questions like 'why are young people leaving the church' and gets into topics like 'what is discipleship and why is it important?' Listen to Dennis and Brett talk about what the Bible says about discipleship and the cost of discipleship, and where the church went off-track.
