Lamar Tyler gave me my "big break," and gave me the belief that I could actually make money doing this. And he has been a HUGE inspiration! What he and Ronnie have done is nothing short of amazing. Another blog that inspires me tremendously is AllProDad.com, which was started with Tony Dungy's help.

We are looking for married couples to be guest on our web show, The 7 Rings of Marriage Web Show. I also need men (husbands and dads) to be guests on my podcast, The Family Leader Podcast. I'm also looking for sites to write guest posts for.
What do you have to offer blogger to take them to the next level?
Yes, I did a talk last year about how I've used blogging for career advancement. I'll be speaking at a national convention this year, and this topic will be expanded. I can share my tools, tips, and what has worked for me.

Be consistent. When consistent I've achieved the most results with my platform. When inconsistent my results have been up and down.

I see my blog as the place where men (husbands and dad) come for hope and practical tips to help them be the best they can be.
