Dad's Rules with Kevin Belzer

This podcast is based around my rules for being a kickass adult. Over the past 50 years, I have used myself as a guinea pig, of sorts, testing these rules out. We will discuss the ones that worked, and should be carved into stone, as well as the ones I threw to the side. I am all about making us all better humans, even if it is at my own expense. Plan to laugh, cry, and cringe as I go over Dad's Rules, relationships, and interview people, that are truly living a kickass life in every way. So, get off my lawn and live your kickass life!!!

8 - Chase The Yes

Procrastination is the killer of dreams. It destroys progress. We need to look at every situation as an inevitable yes. Whether you make a decision or not, you are saying yes to your future. It just may not be the one you want if you procrastinate. On this episode, we discuss how Ben Franklin got clarity in making decisions. We also talk about that time I tried out for a rock and roll band. You can probably guess how that turned out. If you enjoy the show, please subscribe, share and like it on ...

6 - Control and the Uncontrollable

Are you a control freak? Do you have to always be in command of every situation whether it involves you personally or not? Hey, I have been there myself!

5 - Patience is BS

I am not a huge fan of patience. In fact, I think we use it too much as a crutch for why we don't "do better" and "be more". On this episode, we will go over the ridiculous amount of jobs I have had before I found my passion in life. We will also cover why I believe that patience is bullshit. Being a top ten rule at number 5, it must be really important. If you find this episode entertaining or not, I will still ask you to share and subscribe. I am looking to help or punish friends and enemies a...

4 - Three Random Thoughts on Kindness

I am always happy to have my plans disrupted by kindness. I had every intention of doing an episode on another rule, but I had so many epiphanies during the week that I had to share them instead. In the end, they all had one thing in common and that was kindness. I hope you enjoy this episode. As always, share and subscribe. Invite your friends and enemies to enjoy Dad's Rules.

3 - Confidence in the Uncomfortable

When I sat down to script out this episode, I had nothing but a title and a vague idea of what I wanted to talk about. I was uncomfortable. Doing a podcast is new. I can talk to a room of a thousand people and not have a worry in the world. But, a podcast? This is forever! I need to have confidence in the uncomfortable. What do I mean by that? i will explain it all in this episode. This one isn't a rule yet. In fact, the possibility or idea of it being a rule only came to me the day I recorded t...

Do you like to bitch, moan and complain? If so, this episode will explain why it may be time you stopped focusing on what is wrong with your life and move on so you can become a Kickass Adult! The 30 Minute Whine is Rule #15. It is one of my favorite rules. It teaches you how to get the whine out of your system sans the cheese... Whining is an ineffective use of your time.

1 - The Introductory Episode

Episode 1 is a brief introductory episode. I will be going over what the show is about as well as what kind of episodes to expect moving forward. So, why a podcast? I felt it was important to add every possible way to communicate with all people wishing to be Kickass Adults. While some will learn through social media post, videos, blogs and books, others will prefer the allure of podcast. Each week, I will be bringing you a new fresh episode on what I believe it takes to become a Kickass Adult. ...
