A podcast about overcoming challenges surrounding fatherhood.
The show features everyday challenges dads face, with relatable ways to overcome them and a little comedy thrown in. Guests on the show range from regular dads like you who share their stories and how they became more vital fathers. There is something to take away from every episode from adoptions, mental health, being new fathers, and more.
We want to see you thrive as a dad. We want you to cut those toxic family legacies that no longer serve you so that you can succeed for your families. It‘s time to take hold of the challenges we face and grow with our children. Let‘s Rethink Fatherhood!

This SH*T Doesn’t Talked About Enough - Discussing The Effects Dad’s Face During Miscarry and Still Birth
Today, We go back to our grassroots and talk about something that doesn't get talked about enough.
Like the title says, we are talking about the mental and physical effects dads face when they go through miscarrying or stillbirth.
This idea came from a great friend of the show who experienced stillbirth and miscarriage.
We're done letting these topics stay silent, we need to talk so we all can begin to heal.

When Is The Right Time To Introduce Your Children To Alcohol?
Today, Dave and Ryan are sitting down and having "the talk." No, not the one where mommy and daddy love each other very much, but when's the right time to introduce (not drink) them to alcohol.
The idea for this came from a non-dad asking dads when the right time might be. He grew up without ever seeing alcohol, and it seemed like an excellent topic for your dad.
We share our own experiences, tips, tricks, and ideas (and different ages) on how to introduce them.
Have You ever wanted to start your own podcast? Have you had an idea burning to get out to others, but not sure how to get going?

What We Teach Our Children When We Procrastinate
DaveO runs solo today talking about that lovely thing we all do...procrastination. About 20% of adults in the U.S are chronic procrastinators. That tends to come from our families, school, work, lifestyle, etc. But how or why does it come into our kids, and how can we break that cycle?
It's far from easy, but we aren't putting it off any longer today. By taking small steps today, we can break the issue of putting things off until it overwhelms and cripples us.
