Breaking The Cycle, Filling The Void | Chris Robbins on Self Development + Empty Nesting
Manage episode 471337171 series 2594988
Dads, ever feel like you're on autopilot, where each day is just running through the same motions? You're not alone. Dad of three Chris Robbins joins us to discuss how Soul Degree seeks to help men interrupt the flow, get outside, and take some well-deserved time to focus on bettering ourselves. Chris also shares candidly about being a new "empty nester" along with his wife, legendary podcaster, author, and self-help thought leader, Mel Robbins. Listen to the end to learn about Marc's "bloody good" weekend!
Episode 119 of Modern Dadhood opens with Adam & Marc discussing a few exciting podcast updates:
1. Adam published an article on Katie Couric Media which references some great child-calming tactics gleaned from Modern Dadhood episodes!
2. The guys will be attending Podcast Movement's Evolutions conference in Chicago in early April and would love to connect with any listeners or fellow podcasters there!
3. The guys have released a podcast trailer for Modern Dadhood (only 5 years too late!) and the video trailer can be seen here.
The guys welcome Chris Robbins into the conversation. Chris is an entrepreneur with a versatile career which took him from the corporate world to owning restaurants, becoming a death doula, opening a world-class podcasting studio in Boston, and founding Soul Degree, a men's personal development program centered around outdoor retreats. Chris shares candidly about this, along with his fatherhood experience, which includes supporting a creative collaboration between his daughter Sawyer and his legendary wife Mel Robbins. Other topics include:
• Chris and Mel Robbins becoming new "empty nesters" after dropping their youngest of three off at college recently
• The importance of slowing down, reflecting, and engaging in meaningful conversations about our lives, roles, and mental health.
• The influence of Chris' father on his own entrepreneurial and fatherhood journeys.
• The power of listening versus offering unsolicited advice.
• And more!
After the interview, Marc shares a recent story of a sibling scuffle that ended in a visit to the local emergency room. (But it didn't stop him from making a great pot of chili!)
