Dad the Man — Kids & Family
Dad the Man

Do you have the skills you need to love and lead your family from the front?

My name is Brendan Wall. I am a father of four and married to my best friend. I started this podcast not because I have all the answers, but because I am in search of them. We have one opportunity to be the best men, husbands, and fathers that we can be, and I plan to seize it.

At DAD THE MAN we interview guys we all know and admire professionally, but more importantly, are setting the tone for what a great man, husband, and father looks like. Guys who seize the opportunity before them to love and lead their families from the front, from a place of opportunity not obligation. This is Dad the Man. This is who we all aspire to become. Every single week, you can expect to hear from household names like JORDAN SPIETH, TIM KENNEDY, ERIC DECKER, SEAN LOWE, STIPE MIOCIC, DAVID MELTZER, DR MICHAEL GERVAIS, STAN EFFERDING, MARK BELL, DREW MANNING, DR JOSH AXE, DR JOHN DELONY, ROBB WOLF, JASON KHALIPA, TODD ABRAMS, LEW CARALLA, BERT SORIN, JOHN ELDREDGE, HEATH EVANS, DANIEL CARLSON, YOGI ROTH, PETER BURNS, CARLOS REYES, and many more represent what DAD THE MAN stands for.

As men, husbands, and fathers, we experience and struggle with so many of the same things, and it’s time we recognize that we are all in this together. If you are looking for more purpose, passion, connection, success, and camaraderie in your life, then you are in the right place.

Welcome to DAD THE MAN

Unless you live under a rock, and have for the past decade or so, then you know that Jordan Spieth is a professional golfer on the PGA Tour, and at just 29 years old he's a perennial contender for best in the world. So far he's amassed 13 PGA Tour victories, with 3 major wins, including the US Open and Masters in 2015 and the British Open in 2017. In watching Jordan throughout his career, I've always been so impressed with his poise, especially for a dude so young. He seems to have struck a brilliant balance between an "i'm gonna kick your ass out here" level of confidence and a gracious humility that allows him to be radically objective in evaluating his own game and bouncing back from set backs. He's wise beyond his years for sure. He's such a good dude, down to earth - fun to hang with and I'm extremely thankful to him for making the time to come on the show to chat with us. I'll tell ya up front, we had a really great discussion today. This honestly is one of, if not my favorite conversation on the show so far. We covered a lot of ground - from how his own childhood and how he was raised - which he largely attributes to his success on the course, to gearing up for the 2023 golf season in an RV with his wife and son Sammy, to fighting with his ego and separating his own self worth from his golf performance. We talked about what it is that drives him to be the best golfer he can be, what he wants his legacy to be with his kids and so much more. Like I said, this was a fun one. We covered a lot of ground. We went deep. We laughed, and I walked away with a few nuggets to carry with me as a husband and father. I hope you guys enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Marcus is a 6x CrossFit games athlete, who ultimately left the sport after the 2016 games. He was burned out and broken, and about to become a first time father. He then founded his training business which he runs today, called Functional Bodybuilding, which was born out of a need to train more for longevity and sustainability, while still looking good and moving well. In today's conversation, Marcus really opens up about his struggle with confidence and validation throughout his life, the impact that marriage counseling has made on his marriage, and the necessity of taking radical responsibility for your emotions and actions. Marcus is a obviously a stud athlete, and it was really insightful and inspiring to dive deep into the psychology of guy who, like the rest of us, is busting his ass to be the best dad and husband possible, while also being world class as his professional craft. Above it all, Marcus is an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on the show.
