The Dad's Edge

If you could improve one area in your fatherhood journey, what would it be? What would it be like if you mastered not one, but several aspects of your dad journey all at once?

What would life be like if you improved your level of parenting patience, had better and deeper connections with your wife and kids, improved your relationships outside the immediate family, and all while mastering a good work/life balance? How would life be different if you did this?

Hello, I'm Larry Hagner and I'm a dad. I love being a dad. And I believe that being a dad is one of the most rewarding aspects of a man's life. However, being a father can humble you like nothing else can. There really is no roadmap. With so few resources out there for dads like us, I decided to create The Dad's Edge to help you as a dad to give you easy to implement techniques you can use to be your very best and enjoy your journey of fatherhood.

The Dad's Edge will help you:

• Master work/life balance
• Discover three techniques to improve and maintain a great connection with your kids
• Improve the connection & intimacy with your spouse, no matter how busy you are
• Improve your relationships outside the immediately family
• Create positive relationships within the family
• Uncover three easy ways to improve your patience short term and long term
• Discover simple ways to show up big for your kids and be present in the moment
• Thrive (not survive) your journey of fatherhood

If you can identify with one or more of these issues, I understand first hand. Every one of us struggles with these issues on our dad journey and now I've empowered you with some great strategies and a solid roadmap in The Dad's Edge so you can relax and feel confident you are "good dad focused" and nothing will stand in your way!

A great read for both mom and dads & grandparents.

I started listening to the podcast before I heard of this book. great job Larry and looking forward to hearing more stories as life progresses. thank you for sharing such an intimate moment.

A must read!

I was severely struggling with a break up and and having melt downs until I found This book. This book instantly gave me the strength to press forward with a breaking up and the wisdom to realize I was in a very toxic relationship with someone with very little integrity. She had such a strangle hold on my heart and my heads. Perhaps Larry can touch on that in a next edition...there has to be more to a relationship than amazing mind blowing sex...at the end of the day, that doesn’t pay the bills and no good relationship can be based on sex.

meets you where you are.

I liked him sharing vulnerability and challenges so anyone feels like they can get from where ever they are to where they want to be.

A must read for Dads

Hospitals should give a copy of this book in the delivery room. Full of helpful tips that shouldn't be overlooked. A must read for every man/dad.

The book I didn't know I was looking for

I used to love "self-help" books and resources until I realized I wasn't really changing. I realized that the self-help or self-improvement industry keeps growing, while most consumers keep dreaming of change without changing or improving. So I stopped buying anything that promised "unlimited ___," or "improved __," and so forth. But then one day, after talking with my brother-in-law about my business idea focused on dads, he recommended I listen to Larry Hagner's podcast "The Dad Edge." Skeptical at first, I listed to the first episode. However, Larry's unique and rare approach to improvement got me hooked. Most self-help material is made by "professionals," "millionaires," or "hyper-successful" individuals that promise you can be the same, but just leave you feeling worse when you fail to become like them. Larry is personable and human, and I loved that. So when I came across his book, I didn't hesitate a bit to buy it. Sure enough, his approach to being a man and a dad was something I didn't know I was looking for. It was so refreshing hearing from a man and a dad that is truly no different than me. But make no mistake, though Larry doesn't have accolades or fancy titles after his name, he has unique life experiences, wisdom, and knowledge that is weaved together in this book to produce actionable tips with compelling stories that make everything more memorable. He shares his true life story in a way that is so inspiring and moving, that I have already seen change in my way of being a husband and dad, all without a conscious effort to change. I highly recommend this book. The only thing that I think could be improved is the narration. Though the narrator has a pleasant voice, I didn't feel like his tone of voice did justice to the content of the book, so I will definitely get the hard copy version.

amazing

it was hard hiding tears at work... This hit home so hard, story telling was amazing

Vital, Vulnerable & Very Valuable.

Here is why this book stands out:
- Short and to the point.
- Easy to follow advice.
- Describing personal hardship, being vulnerable like non other.

If you just apply one idea your parenting and marriage will greatly improve.

I also appreciate. There is no religious beliefs mentioned in this book. Everything applies no matter your religious following or not.

Easy listen

An easy listen with some simple steps that I think are all achievable. Highly recommended!

Profound Message!

Larry Hagner's story is a strong message of hope to all fathers seeking a light in dark area of being the best version of you.

Great book - simple to the point and actionable

Really quick read/listen with some great tips and things to put into practice. I bought the hard copy and workbook to dig in some more to this important topic. As dads we have a short window in life to make our early fatherhood days as impactful as possible.
