Mick Unplugged

Larry Hagner is the voice behind The Dad Edge, a top-ranked podcast transforming the lives of millions of men into better husbands, fathers, and leaders. A man on a mission to create legendary legacies, Larry fearlessly turns vulnerability into strength, redefining what it means to lead at home and beyond with unwavering purpose and relentless empowerment.
Takeaways:

The "Because" - Your True North: Larry emphasizes that while "why" focuses on immediate motives, understanding your "but why" (your "because") reveals the deeper purpose driving your actions, like avoiding the "drift" or fulfilling a life of intentional impact.

Intentional Living Through the Brave Man Code: To escape feeling overwhelmed, Larry champions living by the Brave Man Code (Bond, Raise, Amplify, Vitality, Enjoy), setting three SMART goals in each category weekly to ensure deliberate progress and a balanced, joyful life.

The Power of Community and Shared Vulnerability: Building a community like The Dad Edge Alliance allows men to overcome the isolating tendency to "white-knuckle" life's challenges, fostering an environment where shared experiences, mutual support, and vulnerability lead to profound personal and familial growth.

Sound Bytes:

"The definition of hell is meeting the man that you could have been when you're laying on your deathbed."
"This will never happen when I have kids. I'm going to be a good dad."
"I truly believe we get one shot at this life, like just one. And why not make it amazing?"

Eddie Hartman is a tech visionary, scale architect, and entrepreneur renowned for co-founding LegalZoom, a company that revolutionized legal access for millions by bringing legal empowerment to the masses. With a track record of launching new ventures and mentoring the next generation of founders, Eddie is known for his relentless innovation and practical wisdom. As an author, he co-wrote "Monetizing Innovation" and "Scaling Innovation," essential reads for anyone serious about building sustainable businesses. His life's mission is to help others not just survive the challenges of entrepreneurship but truly thrive.

Takeaways:


Embrace Both Success and Failure: Eddie believes that entrepreneurs should discuss their failures as openly as their successes, highlighting the importance of resilience and learning from setbacks.


Value and Pricing Are Everything: A common blind spot for founders is not testing whether customers will actually pay for their product, and undervaluing their services is a typical misstep. Charging based on real value—and being willing to ask for more—is crucial for growth.


Recurring Revenue and Relationships Win: Transitioning from one-time transactions to ongoing relationships, such as subscriptions, can transform any business—even the most traditional industries—by focusing on long-term customer value and retention.

Sound Bytes:

"You do not have to face the odds which are daunting that most people face as entrepreneurs today. There are a few things you can do to radically improve your chances of success."

"If you only perfect the recipe and get it out there, but people aren’t willing to pay what you need, then you’re not in possession of a business idea—you’ve got a great hobby."

"Every person who leaves you as a customer at one point said yes. Your job is to figure out what changed between yes and cancellation."
