Episode 54: "Elisabeth Harrod"

On August 19, a rare Tuesday recording, Miles and Dave hosted their second guest on the 2 Guys That Don't Know Everything podcast: Elisabeth Harrod. Elisabeth Harrod is a dads and family coach who helps fill up parents' tool kits working together to motivate kids to break barriers and change challenging behaviors and patterns. She helps parents experience life-changing results! Elisabeth is a mother of two adult children, lives in Ithaca, New York, and has been raising and supporting kids (including as a babysitter) for over forty years. She's an expert in the parenting journey. Dave first met Elisabeth in 2010 in Ithaca via the local chamber of commerce and BNI; and he's excited to introduce Elisabeth to the 'Two Guys' audience.

Welcome to episode 54 of our podcast, "The 2 Guys That Don't Know Everything Podcast" hosted by Miles McGrath and David "Dave" Makar.

AI Description:
"The meeting (sic) began with Miles and David sharing their podcast journey and discussing Elisabeth's influence as a podcaster and dad's coach, including her recommendation of Buzzsprout.com for their podcast setup. Elisabeth then shared her educational and parenting journey, including her approach to homeschooling and development of Purpose Parenting, while exploring topics like toxic masculinity and the importance of creating safe spaces for children to express themselves. The discussion concluded with Elisabeth's insights on parenting styles and the value of autonomy in child development, including her coaching approach of "watering and waiting" rather than "molding and scolding," and the group explored various practical examples of implementing these concepts in parenting."

Parents listening to the show should schedule a no-cost 20-minute discovery call with Elizabeth at PurposeParenting.net for parenting guidance.

We're two guys who have been friends for over ten years, live in two different states (Florida and New York), and have been doing hour-long chats a few times a month for years. We're both dads, entrepreneurs, active in the volunteer community, and want to give back to the world.
