EP - 102 Bullying is a Tangled Ball

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2022/10/26

Susan Raisch joins our conversation today about bullying and how grandparents can be a resource in identifying and resolving children dealing with bullying. We discuss the difference between what is just a bad interaction and what experiences are actual bullying encounters. Susan explains that there are three main points to bullying vs. a bad interaction with another youth or adult. Those three main points are: Is the interaction intentional? Is the exchange repeated? Does the interaction

Had a bad bounce in life? Have you ever struggled to explain to a four-year-old grandchild that a cheese sandwich cut diagonally tastes EXACTLY the same as one cut down the middle? This week's guest, Lee Gaitan, has had those same experiences. My good friend Lee sits down with us to share her experience of being a grandmother, a mother, a wife, a teacher, and most importantly (in my book), a funny person. We discuss her reaction to learning that she would be a grandmother for the first time. Lee

2022/09/30

Well, it was bound to happen. This is my 100th episode of The Cool Grandpa Podcast! In trying to think about what to do for my 100th show, I thought about putting together a collection of stories from past interviews. I had even thought about making the whole show just kind of a party by having some of the previous guests on to chat about where they are now in their Grandpa journey or what they have learned since our last conversation. Neither of those other options seemed right to me, so I

This left Manny with a clean slate to create the types of relationships he wanted with his grandchildren. We discuss Manny's reaction to hearing the news that he would become a grandfather for the first time. Hearing that news started exploring what it would take to become a grandchild's favorite grampy.

EP - 98 What Makes Grandfathers Unique?

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2022/09/16

Dr. Abby Stephan had a unique experience as a youngster because she had an actual multi-generational household. This experience is unique because most of us in North America live with just parents and children and not with grandparents. This family environment is not the norm for a lot of families in the world. Often, those family units include the grandparents in the household structure. Within this context, Abby grew to appreciate the role of grandparents within the family structure. Abby

EP - 97 Grandparents Day

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2022/09/09

Welcome into this pre-Grandparents Day conversation. The conversation is a bit short this week, but I am calling out a few things to remember about being a Grandfather and Grandparent. First, not every relationship will be exactly like we would like it to be if your relationship is not where you want it to be with your adult child, spouse, partner, or even your grandchild. Do an assessment and be truthful about some of the things you might be doing to create friction in that relationship and then

EP - 96 Being a Role Model

2022/09/02

Grandpa Jammie is back for another great conversation. In this conversation, we pick up where we left off the conversation we had on James's YouTube channel, "Really! I'm a Grandparent." About a couple of months ago, James had me on his show talking about the importance of male role models. (That conversation is available by clicking on this link and the one below) In that conversation, we started diving into why it is important for grandfathers to step up and be good role models for their

EP - 95 The Humor in the Everyday

2022/08/26

You must be a certain character to see the humor in almost everything. From remembrances of your own adolescent past to a baby's first and very awkward steps to your daily habits, which you have done for years but can no longer remember exactly why you do "that." Well, Jerry Zezima is that kind of character. Jerry is the needed individual that helps us see the humor and, at times, the absurdity that makes up everyday life. I am excited that Jerry has joined our conversation to remind us that a

Jim Marggaff joins the conversation this week to talk about his latest company, Kinoo. Kinoo is an interactive application specifically designed to increase multigenerational relations when there is a distance between the young ones and the, let's say, more seasoned ones. If Jim's name doesn't ring a bell right off, that's okay, but I bet you know of at least one of the companies he has either started or has been part of. Jim is the founder and voice of LeapPad Learning System. Jim also was

EP - 92 Invest in Yourself

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2022/08/05

Some will say that investing in yourself is selfish and can take resources away from other needed projects or activities. I however say that the coolest grandpas work hard on investing in themselves. Why? so that those cool grandpas can then poor themselves into their family, friends, work, and hobbies. Investing into yourself is not a new concept but it is one that I think we don't pay as much attention to as we get older. I believe that as we start to have grandchildren come along and our roles

Stop and smell the roses. No one knows where that phrase or sentence comes from. If you know, please leave me a comment below. I like discovering the origin story of some of our popular phrases and words. I found that golfer Walter Hagen used the phrase frequently in my research. It makes sense that Walter is credited with helping Bobby Jones learn to control or deal with the stress of big-time golf. For me, stopping and smelling the roses is a good reminder to slow down and appreciate where
