Today I welcome back the very first guest to appear on The Dad Strong podcast.

His name is Joshua Laycock and he lives in Toronto with his wife and two wonderful kids.

He is also a life coach, avid Spartan race participant, a practitioner of stoicism and voracious reader.

What  I really appreciate about Joshua is his ability to take all the things he has observed, read and learned and bring them all together and package them in a way that is easy to understand and implement.

Today is a fantastic discussion between two fathers doing their best to live consciously, act intentionally and reflect on how they are showing up every day for their families.

We kick off talking about the difference wanting something to be a priority and making it a priority.

We discuss how we need to face reality and admit to our weaknesses and the areas where we can improve.

We look into the idea that a day is only good or bad depending on us and our perspective of circumstances and events, and the emotions we allow to perpetuate.

Joshua tells us about his focus on living with pure optimism and pure excitement.

We spend some time talking about doing programmes like 75 hard and how consistency in the monotony leads to real and lasting results.

Most importantly Joshua shares the concept of work, life, love integration as opposed to work/life balance which is impossible to achieve.
