Purpose-Driven Dad; Cameron Race

Cameron Race is a purpose-driven dad, son, and business owner. He is the founder of the Man Up Dad (MUD) movement, a transformation program for businessmen and fathers, especially those with young children. MUD challenges men to confront the truth: they may not be the role models their children need. 2023 was pivotal; after learning his wife was pregnant with their second child, Cameron faced job loss and personal struggles, leading him to overhaul his life. Now, as a committed entrepreneur, he guides dads on their journey toward personal transformation and responsible fatherhood.

Effect on Emotions

All we are is this big old ball of emotions. Those emotions are trying to hijack us from doing what's actually important to us.
If we're unaware of all these different emotions that we have and what they're trying to do then it's really easy to be distracted.
I have mindful practices that I go through every single day that help to ground and center me. They help me get back on track. It's changed my life.

Thoughts on Breathing

I know there is Wim Hof and a lot of people have specifically practiced breathing. I recognize in myself that when I am praying, I slow my breathing down.
As I slow my breathing down, everything slows down. My mind slows down, and any energy I have slows down.
Although I don't practice breathing, breathing is part of the practice I have.

Bullying Story

When I was a kid, I was bullied some. I hit my growth spurt late. There were people that just picked on me based on my size.
I don't know how mindfulness would have made a difference. Maybe for the bully.
At the time it was painful but being a kid is painful, right. That's something I recognize more as I've gotten older.
As an adult, I realize that bullying is an inner turmoil. The way that we treat ourselves. It's really easy to give ourselves a hard time.
