A huge shoutout goes to our newest sponsor, Leap Advisory Partners! Also, thank you, Kelli Schutrop, for introducing our latest guest, Benjamin Mena. Benjamin is the Founder and Partner of Select Source Solutions and Host of the Elite Recruiter podcast.
In today's episode, imagine embarking on a journey that begins with marathon training and leads to a romantic wedding in Bordeaux, France. This week on the Quarterback Dadcast, Benjamin shares his extraordinary life story and the joys and hurdles of new parenthood. Benjamin reflects on his relationship and family life, which will resonate deeply with all fathers striving for excellence.
Benjamin's childhood as a military brat paints a vivid picture of resilience and adaptability, influenced by frequent relocations and the unique experiences of having a submariner father. Many of the stories we share during this conversation will highlight the importance of leadership, adaptability, and the powerful impact of a resourceful upbringing. During our conversation, I shared the impact of David Marquette's book "Turn This Ship Around," we explore the profound significance of a leader-leader model in both professional and personal life.
Lastly, financial literacy and emotional intelligence emerge as crucial lessons we aim to impart to our children. Benjamin and I discuss the invaluable life lessons learned from Olympic athletes, emphasizing the importance of working smart, consistent practice and setting a positive example. From personal anecdotes to professional successes, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration, concluding with a heartfelt call to action for dads everywhere to keep striving, improving, and shaping the future of their families.
