Episode The Secret to Getting Mother's Day Right Every Time

0:00 7:04

FRD member Mike Green with a quick one for dads before Mother's Day. If you've ever scrambled at the last minute, grabbed flowers from Trader Joe's, and hoped for the best, this is for you.

Mike breaks down the Platinum Rule, which is not treat her the way you want to be treated, but treat her the way she wants to be treated. Sounds simple. But how do you actually know what she wants? Mike shares three curiosity tools that replace guessing with intention:

→ Ask — but ask thoughtfully and early, not the night before → Observe — watch for the patterns, what drains her, what lights her up, take notes months ahead → Empathy — step into her world and feel what this season of life actually feels like for her

Then he gives you a simple past, present, future filter to design a day that's actually about her experience, not just your effort. Short, practical, and worth 6 minutes of your time before Sunday.
