It’s honest, funny, a little unhinged, and guaranteed to make you feel better about your own life choices.

    The Power of Students Words!

    This week on Lessons With Dad, I share a recap of another busy and memorable week in our family's life. From bringing home our new puppy and revealing the name we chose, to a surprising comment from one of my students that really made me stop and think, there's plenty to unpack. I also talk about what happened at my son's youth baseball game and some of the lessons that came from it. As always, it's real life, parenting, teaching, coaching, and finding the lessons hidden in the everyday moments. 🐶⚾🎙️

    S1 E19: Why Does School Fall on Women?

    This week on LessonsWithDad, I recap the usual chaos of our family life—busy schedules, parenting moments, sports, school, and trying to keep everything moving without losing our minds. I also dive into a real conversation about why school responsibilities at home so often fall on moms—from emails and homework to schedules and communication—and why more dads need to step up and share that mental load. Real life, real parenting, and honest conversations from the middle of the madness.

    S1 E18: Why is it Harder for Adults?

    In this episode of LessonsWithDad, I talk about why it’s so hard for parents, teachers, and coaches to watch kids struggle without stepping in to help right away. We hate seeing kids frustrated, uncomfortable, or fail at something—but sometimes those difficult moments are exactly where growth happens. Learning when to help and when to let kids work through challenges might be one of the toughest parts of being an adult in their lives.

    S1 E17: Being Uncomfortable with the Uncomfortable!

    Growth doesn’t happen inside your comfort zone. In this episode of LessonsWithDad, I talk about why doing things that make you uncomfortable can actually help you grow, build confidence, and strengthen your mindset. I also share a recent experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and what I learned from it. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is the thing you almost talked yourself out of doing.

    S1 E16: The Impact of Adults!

    In this episode of Lessons With Dad, I break down the impact that coaches, teachers, and mentors have on kids. It’s not always the big moments—it’s the small, consistent interactions that stick. A simple word of encouragement or belief can go a long way.
