About six weeks into the New Year, the gyms start to empty again, and for a lot of us, there is a fading of our work on intentions, goals, resolutions, "word of the year," and even dreams. Why do we fade, and why do we stop working toward our dreams and goals? Well, for many of us, we missed out on a few key steps between dreaming and execution. In this podcast, I talk about how we can start strong, stay strong, and work towards our resolutions throughout the month, quarter, and year. Here are

Dr. Kerry Byrne from The Long Distance Grandparent joins the conversation today to help remind all of us that our work and day-to-day lives can make fantastic connection points for our grandchildren. Sometimes we don't think of our lives, especially our work lives, as remarkable or something someone else would be curious about. But we are wrong. Most of us do exciting

EP - 110 Tips for Storytelling

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2022/12/16

This episode is our one-on-one conversation for December. Stories are important, and stories shared between family members are doubly so. Stories shared between family members help the family identify what is important to the family and what the family values regarding morals and actions and our relationships. Don't get me wrong; not every story has to be weighty or full of moral lessons. Stories for enjoyment can be just as powerful in creating memories about a night around a fire or a kitchen

EP - 107 Teaching Gratitude

This week's conversation is about how we, as Grandfathers, can help our grandchildren develop a spirit of gratitude. This is a short conversation (since it is Thanksgiving weekend), but if there is a good nugget here. I think you can use it with your family and grandchildren. I borrowed much of this information from a fantastic talk my wife, Karen, gave at our church. I figured that she had some good stuff, so why change it?

Hold on to your hats! Dr. Marsha McLean is bringing fun and energy to this week's conversation. Marsha is talking to us about how she initially was reluctant to have the title of Grandma. Why? Because Grandmothers traditionally have seemed very old and normally not in the best physical health. Marsha soon embraced her role as Grandma AND, as a result, created Grandmas 2.0 and wouldn't change a thing. The purpose of Grandmas 2.0 is to help grandmas redefine, realign, and redesign their lives. A
