Guys, as much as we may not want to, we have to think about what will happen to our families after we’re gone.  I’m not talking about money or an estate here. I’m talking about what our last words to our kids will be, and how we can share our wisdom, our advice, our love, and our memories not just while we’re here on earth, but forever.  Blake Brewer realized this in the hardest way possible–he lost his father in an accident while on vacation in Hawaii. While enjoying a beautiful day of snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, Blake’s father suddenly got caught in a rough spot and was struggling to stay above water. His father literally died in Blake’s arms while he was trying to rescue him. Just hours after he passed, Blake had to call his grandparents, his work, and his church to deliver the news. As he sat with his grief, his mother appeared in the doorway. She put some papers in his hand, which started, “Dear Blake, Natalie, and Marcus…” This Letter Changed Everything with Blake Brewer His father had been writing him a letter for several months, and was planning to give it to him on the trip.  On a simple sheet of paper, his father shared his thoughts, his wisdom, encouragement, and advice–and 18 years later these words continue to guide Blake through life.  Over the course of the next year, Blake saw himself develop more as a person and a leader than ever before–and learned how to live with a newfound sense of purpose. Now, Blake has dedicated his life to helping other dads share legacy letters like the one his father wrote, leading and guiding their children for an entire lifetime. In my conversation with Blake, you’ll get to hear the defining moment that would change his life forever and how to write the legacy letter that’s inside your heart waiting to be put to paper! Blake Brewer Podcast Highlights Why some fathers are reluctant to reach out for help when it comes to upping their dad game. The most powerful (and painful) words Blake heard between the ages of five and fifteen. How do we teach our kids to be decisive, rather than telling them what to do and how to think?  Why is it so important for us as dads to tell our kids what makes us proud? The things children need to hear from you to have a confident life and develop emotional intelligence.  Why is it sometimes so hard for us to communicate how we feel?  What stops guys from writing a legacy letter?  How does writing out our values make us more confident and articulate in business, as well as at home?   How do our phones stop us from showing up for the people we love?  How can we show up for our families in stressful times, like when we’re launching a business in startup mode?
