Well, at least we hope to. We are having a big fundraiser this summer involving garage sales. And we are looking for Garage Sale Hosts, which is where you come in. All you need to do is host a garage sale and donate all or part of the proceeds to The Mentoring Project. In exchange for this, we will change a kids whole freaking life forever. So in exchange for you selling this leg lamp over here on the left we recruit dudes like this on the right to throw kids in the air until they explode with happiness. The last thing I want to do is manipulate your emotions. But I just have to reiterate the fact that if you sell your crap, we can provide love for a kid who isn’t as loved as he’s supposed to be. See this sad kid. He’s shopping at a garage sale. You know why he’s sad? He’s sad because he wanted to buy a dad at the garage sale but they didn’t have one. So here’s how you can get involved in three easy steps: 1. Decide to host a garage sale. This involves going to the nearest mirror and saying [...]

Program Note: Today I’ll be doing a live interview with the people at Relevant Magazine. (4 eastern/1 pacific) It’s a Q and A and I’d love to have you join us HERE. Also included in this is a video of me sitting with world-renowned psychologist Dr. Henry Cloud in which I ask him why I’m not married, and he answers!

I’ve excerpted from one of the new chapters, a chapter about dating. Father Fiction is direct advice to people who grew up without fathers. Today’s blog focusses on what men really need from women. I start in mid-chapter, and as such in mid thought. So for the first bit, I’m talking about the dangers of victimhood, which is true for both men and women, but then I get into some details about what men really need from women: “…Weakness isn’t attractive in either sex. Some girls think being weak will attract a strong man, but it won’t. Being weak will attract a predator, which is why girls who show self-pity often get hurt in the end. [...]

This week I’m featuring posts from my newest release, Father Fiction. These are new writings, not previously released in the books original form. The book hits stores today. Father Fiction spells out some practical advice for people who grew up without dads, but it’s great for mentors and single mom’s too. I should warn you the book is very plain spoken and blunt. It’s perhaps the most direct book I’ve written, and I don’t hold back on my opinions. I don’t hold back because over time I’ve learned exactly what I needed to hear having grown up without a father. This first piece is taken from a chapter about dating: From Father Fiction: “…We also want to understand why we are attracted to the opposite sex, and there are many reasons. I want to talk about the two dominant forces that draw you to the opposite sex. The first is the desire to reproduce. This is what your body wants. The second is the desire for redemption. This is what your soul wants. At a young age your hormones were going crazy. We think we are in love but the truth is, we are in lust. We just want to [...]
