Ep109: 20 Questions to Ask Your Father on Father’s Day Pt2 | with Al Arnold

<p>If you’re listening to this now, my hope is that you’ve already listened to part 1 of this conversation with my dad. If you haven’t yet it’s available on your Podcast app of choice or <a href= "https://optimizeyourself.me/20-questions-to-ask-fathers-day-pt1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a>.</p> <p>As I mentioned in part 1…</p> <p>For a long time now I’ve wanted to sit down and do an interview with my father to ask him the big questions about life that we seldom (if ever) really discuss.

But my hope is that listening to today’s conversation inspires you to reach out to your parents (if you’re fortunate enough they are still alive), or your siblings, or those who helped shape the person you are today so you can have an honest conversation just like this one.</p> <p>This is secon of my two part interview where I’ve created a series of 20 specific questions I’m calling “20 Questions to Ask Your Father On Father’s Day” (which can of course be repurposed to suit your needs). These questions were inspired by a similar exercise from high performance coach Brendon Burchard in <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/brendonburchardfan/posts/982909135076047:0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this Facebook post</a>.</p> <p>If you’d like to use the same 10 questions I asked in this second part of this interview, here they are:</p> <p><strong>YOUR FAMILY</strong></p> <ul> <li>How did you meet your spouse, when, and how did you know they were the one?</li> <li>Were you scared to become a parent?</li> <li>What is your proudest memory of being a parent?</li> <li>What three words would best describe your approach to being
