    Episode 40 - Interview w/ Leave No Doubt (Sam Trapkin of Trapped Under Ice and Cole James of Grief Recovery Method)

    Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! In this very special episode, Nate and Jesse are joined by the hosts of Leave No Doubt, a podcast about fatherhood, Sam Trapkin (Trapped Under Ice) and Cole James (Grief Recovery Method). The dads have a great conversation about what it takes to really be a man for your family. Doing what's best for your family means taking care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. We do our best as dads and husbands when we become someone who is able to be physically strong for their family, but also emotionally available. It's also so important for guys to have brothers around them who they can be open with about their mental and emotional struggles, and know that they won't be pressured to just "get over it", and trust that someone is there to listen and be there for them.
