Business
What matters more–providing for our families, or being there for our spouses and our kids while we make incredible memories? When I learned that entrepreneur Tyler Gunter decided to make big changes in his life and retired at the age of 30 to show up for his family first and his business second, I knew I needed to talk to him. Tyler is the founder of Adventure Dads, a group of about a dozen dads that take trips with their children of all ages. They’ve gone spelunking, rode go-karts, and explored artificial biospheres, to name just a few of their activities. More importantly, they’ve also helped kids foster incredible friendships and forge connections within their community. In our conversation today, Tyler and I talk about the power of influence and mentorship when it comes to our kids–and how we can be a positive presence in our kids’ lives, even when they stop wanting to listen to us. We also talk about what it means to live a balanced and intentional life, and the beauty of learning to let go. Nate Klemp's Podcast Highlights What is Adventure Dads and why did Tyler create it? Who are the people we want to be actively involved in our kids’ lives? How can we have serious conversations about real issues with our kids? How do our kids’ friends influence them–and how can we have an influence on our kids’ friends? What makes going on adventures with our kids so valuable? The moment that taught Tyler and his wife that nothing could make up for lost time together. How do you know who will show up for your family if something happens to you? How can tragedy bring out the best in a family or a community? How can you reverse engineer a life of intention? What Tyler does when he screws up or knows he lost his cool.

We are in the business of building better families. While most dads would say that family matters most, the challenge is they feel guilty knowing their careers get the best of them, and their family seems to get the rest of them. We help Dads become family men with businesses, not businessmen who have families, so they can thrive personally AND professionally.
