What happens when you balance the pressures of a high-powered career with the demands of being a present, loving father? On this episode of the Quarterback Dadcast, we sit down with Chris Mader, a top coach from Boston and founder of MTA Consultancy, to find out. First, we must thank our former guest, Justin Priest, for introducing us together!
Chris shares how he transitioned from minor league baseball (Cleveland Guardians) to leadership and sales coaching, all while raising three incredible kids. We'll also get a sneak peek into his upcoming book, "Make the Adjustment," and learn the invaluable lessons his own father taught him about dedication and presence.
Navigating the turbulent waters of life transitions, we touch on the complex journey of divorce and co-parenting. Chris shares his amicable divorce after 24 years and the joys and challenges of raising three children. Chris and I reflect on the resilience and commitment needed to maintain strong family bonds through life's ups and downs. From co-parenting hurdles to finding love again with his new wife, these personal stories emphasize the importance of staying connected and supportive. Chris also shares how his love of coaching sports, from hockey to baseball, has helped him foster and strengthen relationships with his children.
We wrap up with some lighter moments that still pack a punch regarding life lessons. From unforgettable golf memories to the core values instilled in us during childhood, this episode is with wisdom. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps even shed a tear as we celebrate the profound impact of fatherhood, gratitude, and personal growth.
