457: How to Master Conscious Communication for a Thriving Family and Business with Jem Fuller

Fellas, today I’m excited to welcome Jem Fuller, a dedicated father and partner, a seasoned coach, author, and expert in communication. His book, The Art of Conscious Communication for Thoughtful Men, delves into mastering the art of effective personal and professional communication. In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of conscious communication and why it’s critical for personal growth and healthier relationships. Jem shares his insights on how to become more self-aware in conversations, the power of pausing, and why communication is more about sharing than telling. We also explore the struggles many men face, such as managing tempers and navigating communication with children and partners. Jem offers practical tools for staying present, handling triggers, and building deeper, more meaningful connections. Expect to gain powerful frameworks for enhancing your communication skills—whether it’s in the workplace or at home.  Enjoy today's episode!

Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.   Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.   Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you? In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values) If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.   One more thing…  Has this podcast helped you?
