The Dad Life With Marc Jeffrey :: A Conversation About The Life of Being A Dad, Real Fatherhood, & and Parenting with Marc Jeffrey (Leader of the #DadLife & CEO of The Legacy Consulting Group)
The entire month of June, we are focused on Dads and Fatherhood! It is a TRUE statement when Pope John XXIII said, “It is easier for a Father to have children than for children to have a real father.” So all of this month, we are focusing on Dads, Fathers, Fatherhood, and parenting from the angle of the Dad. We believe that Dads often don’t get their credit and are their impact is often misunderstood. Our host Christopher J Harris, continues the month-long conversation with Mr. Marc Jeffrey, who’s the lead for The Dad Life Brand and CEO of Legacy Consulting Group. Feeling like a living room conversation, Marc spoke very straightforward about his journey and growth into Fatherhood, his daily navigation of being a dad, and offered a number of great and simple tools that everyone would benefit from. Although it’s past, Happy Father’s Day to all of the Men out there!
(By the way: We focused on Mom’s for the month of May. Go check out our previous episodes!)

A Few Key Ideas:
- “Dear Entrepreneurs, you can start a thousand business, launch 100 projects and take dozens of companies public, but you only have one shot at being part of your kid’s childhood. Your kid doesn’t care about your platform, they care about your presence.” – Jon Acuff (@JonAcuff)
- How do we teach resilience to our children?
- “I’ve learned some much through failure” – MJ
- “I look for the opportunity in the obstacle.” – MJ
- “Many kids want all of the results without the work.” – MJ

- “Dads should always be students…” – MJ
- “If you’re blessed to have a spouse, as men we sometimes are not cognizant of their strength. We have to be willing to go along with that for the family to win.” – MJ (some paraphrase)
