Eating Crow

By: Peter Durand
  • Summary

  • If you are a leader or an entrepreneur this podcast will speak to you (well, I guess that's the point). These are stories of amazing people with the courage to lead and often admit they were wrong and challenge long-held beliefs to make change. Many of these everyday heroes have evolved into leaders and entrepreneurs, and most of their stories have never been heard, until now. Pete Durand interviews people from all walks of life - the military, finance, business, sports, government and education. We learn from their challenges, pitfalls, lessons and how, by eating crow, how they used an open mind to adjust their way of thinking and lead others, including their families. Pete adds his own experiences as a husband, father and entrepreneur in this meaningful if not hilarious podcast.

  • Episode 76: Maurice Philogene
    Aug 4 2024

    Maurice Philogene is genuine.

    He's one of those rare people who you meet that exceeds your expectations.

    He's accomplished a lot in life. He's done things most of us wouldn't dream of doing.

    He's only in his late 40's, there's much yet to be done for Maurice.

    When he shares lessons on life, professionally, financially and to live life, he does it in a unique way.

    He's just stating the facts.

    We went into his background - what caused him to think this way?

    What caused him to approach life with such patience, persistence and a view to the future?

    What caused him to become a successful executive...

    ...then become a police officer at night?

    Who does that??

    How is Maurice financially independent at 47 years old?

    How did he do this while working three jobs and raising a family?

    He asked questions.

    He did his homework.

    He developed a plan.

    He stuck to the plan.

    So amazing in this world if instant gratification and "influencers."

    I was not influenced by Maurice.

    I was inspired.

    He still drives his 2005 Lexus, because, well it, runs.

    Could he drive something more flashy? Sure.

    But that's not who he is.

    He's one of the humblest, kindest, and intentional people I've met.

    It was an honor to have him on the program, a stretch guest for sure.

    Enjoy.

  • Episode 75: Casey Jacox
    Jul 24 2024

    Some people want the ball at the end of the game.

    They want to take THE shot.

    Casey Jacox is that guy.

    He's a quarterback.

    He's a husband.

    He's a dad.

    He's found a way to tie all this together into a mission.

    To help dad's "quarterback" their lives.

    I fully support this mission.

    Quarterbacks start each play with a plan - from a playbook.

    When they step to the line, the plan makes sense or it doesn't depending on what they see from the defense.

    Proceed as planned, or call an audible.

    So goes husbandry.

    So goes fatherhood.

    Our plans may not be the right call.

    We must adapt.

    Casey and I talk about parenting - how we learned lessons as young men that shaped our approach as fathers.

    And how we made mistakes and learned from them.

    That's a solid episode of Eating Crow right there.

    Follow Casey and his Quarterback Dad podcast...it's worth it.

  • Episode 74: Jeff Wickersham
    May 9 2024

    Jeff Wickersham thinks big.

    He's on a mission to help 1 million dads be better husbands, fathers and leaders of men.

    Heck, I was just hoping to get yours truly through a workout today :-).

    Jeff's story is relatable.

    He's brutally honest about his choices, setbacks and reckoning.

    He leads by example.

    He leads his family by owning his past and his future.

    How many dads can get their family to the gym at 5:30 am?

    VERY few.

    Imagine the look on your kid's faces when the walk out of the gym and head to school?

    They conquer the day. For sure.

    Be one of the million dads, moms or friends.

    Be intentional.

    Be bold.

    Be better.
