But there’s something that happens to us, it is like a little switch in the back of our heads that turns off as soon as we get her, i.e. the wedding day. There’s something that happened and we stop pursuing.” “You’ve got to continue to date your wife, you have to, and you have to determine what the frequency is for you as a couple... Everything else you do is built around that. It’s that important.” “What she cares about more than anything else is the time spent together and sharing what’s going on with us on the inside.” “Men, those of you that are married, if you make the kids the number one priority in your life while you’re married, you’re not going to have a marriage to go back to when they’re gone.” “It doesn’t take a lot, lot to stay connected.” “If you want to write and take that step with your personal growth, that’s how you do it. You just take a step. It could be a half step, it could be inches, but take it and then let it grow and grow and nurture it.” “What people are really looking for is to learn your character ... It’s really the interaction with your characters that readers are more interested in.” “Let’s break down the walls and just make sure we’re using the right people for the right things, regardless of their challenge in one way or another.” “The number one thing I focus on with being around with my wife is being present.” “Leadership for me is about getting people interested, excited, aligned with the vision.” BOOKS MENTIONED: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen (https://a.co/d/ai1bxpt) Books by Stephen Covey Books by Stephen Ambrose SERIES MENTIONED: Band of Brothers USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.stevenstrattonusa.com https://www.instagram.com/stevestrattonusa/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ststratton/ https://www.facebook.com/stevestrattonusa https://twitter.com/strattonbooks Limited Edition Signed Hardcovers https://www.stevenstrattonusa.com/signed-editions CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
