    Ep. 22 / More Than Myself

    Fatherhood changes the way a man measures everything. In this emotional and deeply reflective episode of The Daddy Up Podcast, Jason opens up about what it truly means to live for something greater than yourself. From the quiet pride of choosing presence over ego, to the daily war with his own flaws, this episode explores the unseen battles fathers fight — and the legacy they build through consistency, restraint, and love. Jason reframes success not as money, status, or achievement, but as how his children feel when he walks into a room. He shares what it means to go to war with yourself for the sake of your family, why children learn more from watching than from listening, and how redefining success can transform not only a man’s life, but the emotional safety of his home. This episode culminates in a direct, heartfelt charge to his children — a message about courage, responsibility, and choosing growth over comfort — and a powerful reflection on the kind of man he hopes to be remembered as when his time as a father is done. More Than Myself is for every father who is trying, every man who is growing, and every parent who wants their children to remember not just what they provided — but who they were willing to become.

    Ep. 21 / Raising Kids You Don’t Understand

    There comes a moment in fatherhood when your child stops making sense to you. They still live under your roof. They still carry your name. But the way they think, feel, and see the world feels unfamiliar — and that moment can shake even the most committed fathers. In this episode of The Daddy Up Podcast, Jason walks through the tension many fathers feel when understanding fades and leadership becomes uncomfortable. He challenges the instinct to lean on authority when curiosity is needed, explores how ego can quietly create distance, and reminds us that presence doesn’t require full comprehension — it requires availability. This episode is about staying when it’s hard, choosing trust over control, and leading with humility when your child’s growth stretches your comfort. It’s a reflection for fathers who want to remain safe, steady, and connected — even in seasons where answers take time. If you’ve ever felt unsure how to lead a child you don’t fully understand, this conversation will meet you where you are and remind you why staying present matters more than getting it right.

    Ep. 20 / Side by Side: A Father and Daughter Conversation — The Rubi👩🏽‍🦱❤️ Episode

    In this deeply special episode of Dad On Purpose, Jason is joined by his 12-year-old daughter — and today’s co-host — Rubi. What follows is one of the most honest, tender, funny, and eye-opening conversations a father and child can have. Jason and Rubi go beyond surface-level talk and step into a real, vulnerable dialogue about their bond — the good, the challenging, the growing, and the beautifully imperfect parts of their relationship. There’s laughter. There’s honesty. There are moments that might punch you right in the chest. And there’s an undeniable love that pours through every exchange. This episode isn’t just a conversation… It’s an invitation — for fathers to open up, step back, breathe, listen, and let their kids teach them too. A timeless, emotional, joy-filled, truth-filled father/daughter moment captured forever.

    Ep. 19 / They’ll Do What You Do...Not What You Say

    We all tell our kids what to do. But the truth hits harder: they’ll do what we do, not what we say. In this deeply introspective and emotionally charged episode, Jason unpacks one of the most important principles in fatherhood — the responsibility of modeling the very life we hope our kids live. With transparency about his own upbringing, honest confessions about his missteps, and raw reflections about what his children have taught him, this episode shines a light on the gap between instruction and example. You’ll hear: • Why children follow patterns more than commands • How unhealed habits become generational blueprints • The impact of hypocrisy — spoken and silent — on a child’s identity • Stories from Jason’s own life where his kids mirrored his behavior • A powerful call not just to correct our children, but to correct ourselves • Scriptures that anchor the father’s responsibility to live what he teaches • Statistics that reveal just how deeply a parent’s behavior shapes a child’s future This episode is a wake-up call wrapped in love — a reminder that fatherhood isn’t about perfection, but about alignment… choosing daily to become the example we wish we had, and the example our kids deserve. A heartfelt, challenging, inspiring guide for every dad who wants to raise children of strength, integrity, faith, and purpose — by living it first.

    Ep. 18 / The Woman You Choose Shapes the Father You Become — The Veronica❤️💍 Episode

    This episode is part love letter, part wake-up call. Jason opens up about the first moment he saw Veronica step off a school bus in eighth grade and how, for years, fear and insecurity kept him silent. He walks through the “missed chances,” the Six Flags encounter that changed everything, and the day they found out they were pregnant — the moment when their love story became a fatherhood story. With raw emotion and deep gratitude, Jason honors Veronica as the heart of their home — the woman who sacrifices, prays, laughs, corrects, and covers their children in ways that often go unseen. He’s honest about his own flaws as a husband and father, and how her steady love and dedication have helped shape the man he is today. But this isn’t only for Veronica. Throughout the episode, Jason speaks directly to men: • about the importance of choosing the right woman to build a life and raise children with, • about the cost of having kids with someone you don’t truly know or respect, • and about why our children deserve more than “whoever happened to be there that night.” Anchored in Scripture and full of vulnerability, this episode calls fathers to honor the women who stand beside them, to take responsibility where they’ve been careless, and to see godly partnership as one of the greatest forms of “favor from the Lord.” If you’re married, dating, or still hoping to find “your person,” this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and maybe even move you to tears — and it just might send you running to tell the woman in your life how much she truly means to you.

    Ep. 17 / The Father You Needed vs. The Father You Became

    This is the most vulnerable and soul-stirring episode of Dad On Purpose yet. In “The Father You Needed vs. The Father You Became,” Jason opens the door to the parts of fatherhood most men never talk about — childhood trauma, inherited anger, unresolved wounds, regret, grief, and the fear of becoming the man you swore you’d never be. This episode dives deep into: • What it means to parent while still healing • The moment you realize you sound like your father • The boy inside every grown man who still needs comfort • The father you needed but never had • The father you’re becoming through intention and grace • Anger, shame, apology, and transformation • The grief of losing your father before reconciliation • A powerful letter to your younger self • A heartbreaking letter to your father • How God rewrites your identity as a son and as a father • And a prayer for every dad carrying wounds that still ache This episode is not just a conversation. It’s a release. A mirror. A reckoning. A healing. If you grew up with a complicated father… If you’re trying to break generational cycles… If you’re learning how to raise kids without repeating history… This episode will meet you in the deepest parts of your story. For every father carrying pain — this one is for you.

    Ep. 16 / ”Sports Dad” When Pride Meets The Sidelines

    Sports can bring out the best in our kids — and sometimes the worst in us. In this episode of Dad On Purpose, we talk about the emotional rollercoaster of being a Sports Dad: the pride of watching your child find themselves on the field, the tension between wanting to coach and needing to step back, the ego struggles that come with letting another adult lead your child, and the humility required to allow your kid to grow without controlling their journey. Jason opens up about coaching his son, then learning to let go when a new season brought a new coach. We dive into why that transition is so hard for fathers, how sports teach discipline and character beyond the scoreboard, and how to enjoy the season your child is in — without becoming the overbearing sideline parent we all fear becoming. With humor, heart, spiritual guidance, and fatherly honesty, this episode explores how to support your child in sports the right way, keep your ego in check, and embrace the blessing of watching them grow into themselves — one practice, one play, and one season at a time.

    Ep. 15 / Your Last Breath Reaches Generations...Protect It

    In one of the most emotionally vulnerable episodes of Dad on Purpose, Jason takes listeners through the uncomfortable, sacred reality of a Father’s mortality. This episode challenges Fathers to face the truth that they are not invincible — and that their presence is more powerful than their pride. Through scripture, real-world statistics, and deeply personal reflection, this episode calls men to protect the one life their children depend on: their own. You’ll be taken through the silent fears Fathers carry, the consequences of leaving too soon, and the spiritual responsibility of stewarding your health, mind, and body with intention. This episode is not about fear. It’s about wisdom. It’s about legacy. It’s about choosing to stay — for the children who cannot afford to lose you.
