SFN Dad To Dad 338 - Mastermind Group Monday With Nathan Woerner of Littleton, CO

Dad to Dad Podcast

This is part of a special series of interviews within the SFN Dad To Dad Podcasts known as the SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts. Each Monday host David Hirsch interviews one of the SFN Mastermind Group dads on the impact the mastermind group has had on him and the wellbeing of his family.
This Monday’s guest is Nathan Woerner of Littleton, CO who is a former missionary in Japan with SEND International and father of two girls including one with Angelman Syndrome.
Nathan and his wife, Maryah, have been married for 17 years and are the proud parents of two girls: Naomi (8) and Ada (6), who has Angelman Syndrome.
Nathan has been involved with the Special Fathers Network for more than four years. His SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, episode #114, aired in September 2020. He was one of the first members of the Tuesday night SFN Mastermind Group and he has attended the last few Mastermind Group weekend retreats.
It’s an uplifting conversation about perseverance, overcoming life's challenges and advocacy, all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

◦ has two Dad-In-The-Middle sessions for dads to share a challenge, and
◦ ends with a recap and look at the week ahead.

WHO -
SFN Mastermind Group Dads are those:
◦ seeking meaningful friendships with like-minded dads,
◦ willing to invest their time and make a financial commitment,
◦ looking for a safe place to be open and authentic, and
◦ who realize seeking advice is a strength, not a weakness.

WHY -
SFN Mastermind Group Dads benefit by:
◦ realizing they are NOT alone
◦ having better relationships with their spouse,
◦ developing improved understandings of their child(ren),
◦ tapping into the experience and wisdom of others,
◦ getting weekly encouragement from like-minded dads, and
