From the Travis Macy Show - Ep. 166 of the Travis Macy Show with Kari Loya: Playing Offense in the Alzheimer’s Journey and Living Fully with Human Connection and Outdoor Movement Jul 18, 2024

I’m excited to share a special episode with you from The Travis Macy Show. Travis recently sat down with Kari Loya for a conversation that will leave you reflecting on your relationship with your father and children.

Kari is the author of the book Conversations Across America which is about a 73-day, 4,600-mile cross-country bike trip Kari took in 2015 with his 75-year-old dad, Merv, who had early-stage Alzheimer’s.

As I was editing this episode for Travis’ show I found myself reflecting about my dad, some of the many adventures we have had together, and how fragile that all felt last summer when he was diagnosed with cancer again

There is a moment at the end of Kari and Travis’ chat that just about killed me. I’m reminded how lucky I am to have the relationship with my dad (truly with both my parents) that I have, and if you are lucky enough to feel the same - I hope this conversation moves those same feelings in you.

Please be sure to check out the Travis Macy Show for more inspiring conversations like this one - and also grab a copy of Kari’s book!

2024 Father's Day Special with "Pappy" Palmer Jun 16, 2024

For this Father's Day episode of the podcast, I sat down with my dad Mike “Pappy” Palmer to have a real heartfelt conversation about family, parenting, and life. We sat down over a glass of bourbon and covered a lot of ground - from our experiences raising kids and being grandparents, to how family dynamics have changed over the generations.

Dad shared his perspective on the differences between being a parent and being a grandparent, which was really interesting to hear. We also got a little deep talking about coping with his cancer diagnosis last year and what that was like for both of us as a parent and child. Dad had some really wise insights about preparing kids for life's ups and downs.

I really enjoyed talking with dad about how we each define success at this stage in life. I'm really thankful I was able to sit down and have this talk with dad and hope you enjoy it!

Finding Balance: Adventures, Parenthood, and the Grit of Endurance with Mountain Guide Jason Antin Jun 04, 2024

I'm really excited to bring you this conversation I got to have with my good friend and the host of the Travis Macy Show, Travis Macy, and legendary mountain guide and adventurer Jason Antin.

You may know Jason from his incredible Beat Monday series where he and former WDDR guest Mike Chambers take on epic outdoor challenges in 64 hours from Friday evening to Monday morning.

I’ve wanted to have Jason on the show for a long time, and I am glad Travis could join us for this chat.

I love hearing from endurance athletes about how they can apply the grit and determination they learn from their training and adventures to parenting and vice versa.

We got some great insights from Jason on topics like pushing kids into activities, specializing versus sampling sports, and how Jason manages risk both as a guide and a dad.

Jason also shared lessons he's taken from his many adventures on living passionately while prioritizing family responsibilities.

I think you'll really enjoy this conversation and I hope you take away from it as much as I did.

If you haven’t already please make sure to go check out The Travis Macy Show wherever you are listening to this podcast. I feel fortunate to call Travis a friend and to produce his podcast. Travis is a great podcast host and I feel like I have grown a little every week when I get done listening to his show, and I think that is pretty cool.

Jumping In The Deep End with Dr. Scott Frey Dec 16, 2023

I first met Dr. Scott Frey when editing an episode of Choose The Hard Way hosted by Andrew Vontz and was immediately drawn to his story.
Scott is an award-winning scientist, mentor, husband, father, and lifelong endurance athlete with over 30 years of experience at the forefront of research on the relationship between the human brain, our thoughts, and behaviors.

Today, Scott joins me to discuss the lessons he has learned from parenting his children and stepchildren, how he approached raising his kids with an openness to diversity, and the challenges of navigating technology use as a family in today's world.

We also touch on defining success and finding purpose beyond achievements or possessions.

I really enjoyed this chat with Scott and appreciate his thoughtful perspective on parenting, childhood development, and living with intention.

As you know my goal with this show is to have real and vulnerable conversations about the life we live as dads. A big thanks to Scott for doing just that and sharing his story this week.

We will be back in 2024 with new episodes and I am really looking forward to it! I hope all of you out in listener land have a great holiday season with your friends and family.

The Lonely Road of Infertility with Alex Palmer Dec 08, 2023

I am really excited to share this conversation with Alex Palmer. And even though we have the same last name and an almost identical accent - we are not related.

In this episode, Alex and I talk about what it is like to experience a difficult pregnancy, fertility treatments, miscarriages, IVF and many of the other challenges that can come with trying to get pregnant - from the male perspective.

As listeners of this show will likely know, this subject is very personal to me and one that I feel is very important for men to talk about. Alex and I talk about how lonely and one-sided the process can feel for men and why we feel it is so important for men to talk to other men about what they're going through.

Alex and I recorded this conversation this summer, so you will hear him talking about being pregnant during this conversation. I am happy to report that in early November Alex and his wife Gretchen’s baby boy joined them and they are all doing well and are properly sleep-deprived!

Alex is the founder and host of The Fellowman Podcast (formerly the Blackdog Cast) and does great work over there so be sure to check it out.

My goal with this show is to have real conversations about the life we experience as dads. A big thanks to Alex for getting vulnerable and sharing his story.

"It's Ok For Things to Not Be Ok” with Phillip McCall May 18, 2023

It has been almost a year - a YEAR! - since our last Wake.Dad.Drink.Repeat. episode dropped and we are kicking things back off with a very special story.

This week on the pod, Phillip McCall joins me for a very deep and personal conversation about the journey that he, his wife Erin, and their son Wade have been on since 2021.

While Erin was pregnant, their son Wade was diagnosed with Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). While their story is filled with challenges, anxiety, setbacks, and periods of mourning - it is also full of love and support and has left Phillip with a deep understanding in the power of opening up, sharing, and “letting people in.”

Phillip and I talked about miscarriages and the emotional and mental struggles men face during difficult pregnancies. We also discussed finding peace in chaos and navigating major challenges with our healthcare system.

Plus, Phillip shares powerful stories about how they nurtured their marriage relationship while their son was in the NICU. For a deeper dive into the Mcall’s story you can check out their blog here.

This story is a perfect example of why I started this show, and I am so grateful to be back with each of you. Thanks for tuning in.

"Counting On" Barry Bales Jun 30, 2022

This week on the pod Palmer is joined by Barry Bales!
Barry is a lot of things, as a musician, he has been the bassist for Alison Krauss and Union Station for 30+ years. He is a songwriter and has played with the likes of Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and more. Oh and he is the winner of 15 Grammy Awards!

Barry is a husband and has one son, Marshall who is 15. Barry is a 5th-generation farmer. He and his family own Bales Farm, where they raise grass-fed/grass-finished beef, pasture-raised chicken, pasture-raised pork, and free-range eggs.
Barry and his wife, Aliceson, were kind enough to have us out to the farm to record this episode. We sat outside on one of their porches and talked over a glass of bourbon on a beautiful East Tennessee day.

Barry and Palmer talked about the importance of knowing when and what life lessons to teach our kids and the mediums to use when teaching, about his time as a child growing up on the farm, and the love and admiration he had for his grandfather, and the challenges of managing our own expectations of what we want for our kids. They talked a bit about the music industry and some of the changes Barry has seen during his time in it and spent the last part of the conversation talking about regenerative farming, why they practice it at Bales Farm, and why we need to see changes happening in our farming and food culture.
A big thanks again to Barry for joining the podcast!

A Deep Dive with Anthony Palmer Jun 20, 2022

We are mixing things up a bit this week - and doing a Monday drop! We are doing this because the guest this week is, me! Travis Macy is back on the pod but this time as host.
The pod has grown a lot over the last year, and last week's guest (Chris Baddick), had a great idea for me to reintroduce myself to the audience and dive into my fatherhood story a bit. I thought it was a great idea and really enjoyed recording this episode.
When I was trying to decide who to get to help me with this, Travis was the first name that came to mind. Not only is he the host of the Travis Macy Show, but Travis is a friend, a client, and someone who I have really come to admire and have a lot of respect for as a human. A huge thanks to him for taking over the show. Please be sure to head over this his pod, subscribe and leave it a review!
I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day weekend, and I will catch you in 2 weeks!

Things get deep quick in this week's episode, with a conversation about Chris' father-in-law being diagnosed with ALS and how that event pushed him and his wife to leave the life they knew so that they could run the family business and live closer to family.
Chris and Palmer discuss cycling, spending time outside with kids, the "10-minute miracle" (it's not what you think it is), how Chris defines success, and much more.
A big thanks to Chris for joining the conversation!

10,000 Slams with Michael Friedberg Feb 14, 2022

This week on the pod I am joined by Michael Friedberg!
Michael is a dad to one, former US Ski Team Member & World Cup athlete, and an incredibly good human. Michael and I talk a lot about the respect, admiration and love we have for our dads on this pod, about his journey as a dad, and about the recent Marshall fire in Boulder, Co.
Michael, his wife Rachel, and their daughter Darwin lost their home and all their belongings in the recent fire and as unimaginably challenging as that is, they have been wrapped in love and support by family, friends, and the Boulder community.
Even though it is a story full of sadness, it is also one full of beauty, hope and kindness-something that feels to be missing in so much of the dialogue in today's society.

Dylan and I covered a lot in this week’s episode. We talked about the joy of sharing cycling with our kids, the importance of failure (and letting our kids see us fail), having a “tribe” to share our suffering with (both on and off the bike), the importance of inclusivity and much more.
Whether you are a fan of cycling or not - this was a conversation full of some really thoughtful nuggets and advice around the world of fatherhood and life.
A huge thanks to Dylan for coming on the pod and sharing his story and journey with me!

The Search for Success, Adversity, Ultra Running and Christmas Music with Dominic Grossman Oct 18, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two, a habitual podium finisher in ultra marathons and a staunch lover of family and nature - Dominic Grossman.
Dominic and I talked about the journey of balancing our priorities as humans (work, training, our relationships, etc) with our priorities as parents, the search for “success”, how adversity can help us to grow and show us our path and the many similarities between ultra running and life (and life as a parent).
We also covered the importance of supporting (and being supported by) our partners and laughed at how our wives tend to be the “victims of our indirect actions”.

A big thanks to Dominic for joining me on the pod this week!

Mental Health, Daughters, Water and WEDŪ with JB Hager Oct 11, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to one, Co-Host/Producer THEMOVE and JB2 with WEDŪ Sports and Lance Armstrong, JB Hager!
We get into JB’s journey with his daughter, Raleigh, not just as a 2x Women's Pro Wakesurf World Champion but also about her mental health. This is a very personal and real episode, where JB and I talk about what it is like as a parent to watch your child struggle with mental health, how scary and hopeless it feels at times, the strains in causes on your relationships, and (probably most importantly) about what it is like to move to the “other side” of that journey.
A huge thanks to JB for coming on the pod and sharing their story and listening to ours. To all of you - if you are ever experiencing these types of challenges and struggles in your life, please know that talking to people about it really does help! Whether that is a professional, a family member, or a friend - knowing you have a support network of your own is so important. You will hear JB and me talk about this alot. If anyone out there is ever needing someone to talk to, I am always happy to share my experiences on this journey and to lend an ear.

While we cover the mental health piece for most of this episode we also talk about WEDŪ, THEMOVE and THEFORWARD podcast, cycling, Operation Get Out, music, the perfect margarita and much more.

David Spitz: Cal Strength, Love & Gratitude and “Never Do Nothing” Mar 22, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by David Spitz. David is a dad to three, a husband, Owner and CEO of California Strength, lifelong coach and (in his own words) “former athlete - turned fat guy - turned fit guy”.

We had a great chat with David about his life as a Today’s Dad, his journey to creating Cal Strength and his own personal journey back to a life of fitness. We also talk about their new strength program, Ripped and Ready, that is perfect for dads looking to get back in shape or keep their fitness journey moving forward. David was kind enough to give our listeners 20% their first month of the program using the code “WDDR”.

David shared a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on the ability to be multi-purpose in your role and being sure to prioritize yourself and your relationship with your spouse. The biggest takeaway from our chat with David was his motto of “never do nothing” and the importance of love and gratitude.

A big thanks to David for joining us on the pod this week!

Coach Jonathan Cane - Human Swiss Army Knife, Running, and Following Our Kids Mar 15, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by Coach Jonathan Cane! Jonathan is a dad to 9 year old Simon, a husband, the Co-founder and Head Coach of City Coach in NYC and a true Today’s Dad!

There were some great take-aways on the pod this week starting with Joanathan’s Today’s Dad definition that said a Today’s Dad is like a “human Swiss Army Knife”. We talked about the importance of drive, what endurance sports can teach you about life, the importance of letting your kids lead, and even got into some talk around gender roles and race.

We hope you take away as much from this conversation as we did! A big thanks to Coach Cane for joining us on the pod this week!

Dr. Allen Rigell: Mental Health, Cast Away and The Pursuit of Balance Mar 01, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Allen Rigell! Allen is a dad to one, a husband, an Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist and Palmer’s Psychiatrist. We had Allen on the pod to discuss mental health for dads and men and really had a great conversation!

Allen’s Today’s Dad definition was all about the different hurdles that come with all the different phases of fatherhood and how a Today’s Dad looks to the Tom Hanks that has been stranded on the island for years for advice about fatherhood instead of the Tom Hanks that just washed ashore. He also spoke about being in “autopilot” mode as a parent and partner and the balance of that.

We talk about a lot on the pod this week, but the biggest take away we hope you get is that it is good to ask for help or a place to talk when you need it. We use this pod as an outlet to share our experiences and know the benefit of talking about the ups and downs of life. A big thanks to Allen for joining us on the pod and sharing his experiences with us.

Chase Novelich - The Father Son Bond, Pokemon, and PowerDot Feb 08, 2021

This week on the pod we are joined by husband, dad, fantasy football league champion, and the Director of Marketing & eCommerce at PowerDot, Chase Novelich. We covered a lot on the pod this week from having kids at a young age to Pokemon, dirt bikes, virtual learning, the bond between father and son, trust and PowerDot.

Chase gave us a great Toady’s Dad Definition that focused on his experience as a “boy dad” and being one of three brothers.

This week on the pod we are joined by Paul Humes. Paul is a dad to one, husband, the founder of Wild Nature Play and the Program Director for Thorne Nature Experience.

We had a great chat with Paul about why he created Wild Nature Play, his hopes for it, how his travels around the world helped to shape him as a parent, and his thoughts on Covid’s impact on our kids and educators (he has an Elementary Ed. degree, which made him a great Today’s Dad to have this convo with).

#dadlunchnotes & Below Deck with Dr. Chris Yandle Nov 23, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr.Chris Yandle. Chris is a husband, dad to two, the mastermind behind #dadlunchnotes and has a PhD in Higher Education Leadership.

We had a great chat with Chris about his book, Lucky Enough: A Year of a Dad’s Daily Notes of Encouragement and Life Lessons to His Daughter, #dadlunchnotes, his thoughts on Covid and its impact on the education system, Below Deck and much more.

Chris shared a great Today’s Dad Definition where he talked about the importance of showing vulnerability and how a Today’s Dad understands that his kids may not always be listening but that they are always paying attention, and that you have to lead by example. A big thanks to Chris for joining us on the pod this week!

Eric Glader - You can’t have the sweet without the bitter Nov 16, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two and the Founder and CEO of PowerDot, Eric Glader! We spoke with Eric about a lot on the pod this week including Covids impact on his family, his wife’s work with Larry King (and how she is way cooler than him), why he created PowerDot and how important grit and determination are for parents and entrepreneurs.

Eric’s Today’s Dad definition pays tribute to his father and the spirit he inherited from him. He talks about how a Today’s Dad has to be the crutch that leads his kids to the path but has to balance that with letting them walk freely. He says a Today’s Dad is present and sees what his children are doing and lets them see what he is doing.

We really enjoyed our conversation with Eric! A big thanks to him for joining us on the show! The PowerDot team hooked our listeners up with 20% off their purchase at www.powerdot.com when you use the code “Dad20” at checkout. We love our PowerDots and know you will too!

Frank Thorp - Paternity, Pandemic, Parenthood, Politics & Peppercorn Saison Please Nov 09, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by Frank Thorp. Frank is a dad to one, a two time Emmy nominated and Peabody winning journalist, a Producer & Off-air Reporter covering the US Senate for NBC News, and a dad living out his last few days on paternity leave.

We sat down with Frank on Thursday night following the 2020 election and were fully prepared to watch the race get called while we recorded, but no such luck! We covered a lot with Frank from he and his partner, Hallie Jackson, making the decision for him to take a long paternity leave and his passion behind that, creating balance for their family with both him and Hallie being reporters, the challenge of having a newborn during Covid and so much more!

Frank kicked us off with a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on being an active participant in parenting with your spouse/co-parent, empowering your partner and empowering yourself. A big thanks to Frank for joining us for a great episode.

Values, Tires, and Yardwork with Joe Matlock Aug 24, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by someone new to the dad club (by about 2 months), Joe Matlock! Joe is Vice President of Matlock Tire Service and an all around good dude. We had a lot of fun talking with this new dad about working for a family business that has been around since the 1950s, generational differences of being a dad, balancing work and family life, Bojangel’s Sweet Tea and much more!
Joe dropped a great perspective on a Today’s Dad definition. His definition is based on the values that he grew up having instilled in him, treating people the way you want to be treated, and frankly, not reinventing the wheel! Joe says that a Today’s Dad isn’t that different from dads of the past, but knows how to apply these values to the modern world we live in.
This is a great episode, and we really appreciate Joe joining us on the pod this week!

How I Met Your DILF (Dad I’d Like to….FRIEND) ft. Kevin Seldon Aug 17, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by the host of the DILF podcast and dad to one, Kevin Seldon! We have a really great chat with Kevin about his lifelong desire to become a dad, the ups and downs of his journey to do so, his time as a stay-at-home dad, the challenges of adult friendships once you have kids, the creation of the DILF podcast, How I Met Your Mother and so much more!

Kevin drops a really well rounded Today’s Dad definition that touches on many of the definitions we have heard on this show. But he focuses on how a Today’s Dad isn’t afraid to be vulnerable, is able to admit his faults and encourages his children to do the same.

Be sure to check out the DILF podcast and give them a follow! A big thanks to Kevin for joining us on the pod this week. Be good to one another this week friends!

Christian Vande Velde - Passions, Cycling & Figuring It Out Along The Way Aug 10, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two, husband, former pro cyclist, finisher of 18 Grad Tours, Peloton guest instructor and NBC analyst for cycling, Christian Vande Velde!

We had a great time talking with Christian in what has shaped up to be a very odd summer for him. Normally Christian would be in France right now covering the Tour de France, but Covid has certainly impacted that. We covered a lot in this episode. From being the son of a professional cyclist, to his years as a pro rider and how that changed once he became a dad, to retirement from the sport and becoming an analyst for NBC and so much more. And for the cycling fans out there, don’t worry we also talk about some of his favorite memories on the bike, his relationship with Paul Sherwin, and other great stuff.

But VDV’s Today’s Dad definition set the episode off on a great foot. He talks about how a Today’s Dad is really making it up as they go. How they are constantly evolving and how his kids make him a better person.

A big thanks to Christian for joining us on the pod this week! We know you all will enjoy this one!

Justin’s story about how he came to be a father, his divorce and journey into co-parenting really shows his character and passion for being a Today’s Dad. Much like his work he has done over the years in restaurants to build community, his Today’s Dad definition focuses on community and viewing partnering/fatherhood as a tool to build up a positive community around what it means to be a dad.

We are excited to see all of Justin’s new projects come out that he is working on, and will be sure to check back in with him when they do! A big thanks to him for coming on the pod and sharing his story! This is one you won’t want to miss.

Wilderdad with Steve Lemig Jul 27, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by the founder of Wilderdad (a top 100 dad blog), husband, and dad to Ella, Steve Lemig! On top of all of his other duties, Steve is also the Communications Director for Road Runner Sports.

We had a great talk with Steve about his bizarre childhood, and how he used the outdoors as a way of escaping and healing, and how he now uses it to connect and share with his own daughter. Steve also tells us all about Wilderdad, and why he started the space back in 2017.

This is a really great episode, and Steve’s Today’s Dad definition really highlights how a Today’s Dad is involved both physically and emotionally with their kids.

A big thanks to Steve for joining us on the show this week! Be sure to check out Wilderdad! Hopefully this episode will leave you feeling inspired to get outside with your kids soon!

Finding Your Way Like Water with Bobby Barzi Jul 13, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two and the founder of fodada clothing, Bobby Barzi! Bobby started fodada in 2012 and has been supporting the growth and redefining of “fatherhood” ever since.

It is no surprise that his Today’s Dad definition focuses on the evolution of a Today’s Dad and how the role is really less defined and “boxed in” than it used to be, but also how fatherhood is a platform to help us create change and understanding in all other aspects of our lives. We really loved this definition and know you will too!

A big thanks to Bobby for joining us on the podcast this week! Give fodada a follow on social, and order a shirt or two to help support their mission...plus they are super comfortable and cool looking shirts!

The Only Easy Day Is Yesterday with Blair Wheeler Jul 06, 2020

We are joined this week by Blair Wheeler. Blair is a soon to be dad to two, husband, a sales and marketing professional, former pro surfer, golf media content creator, podcast host and all around great dude!

We did things a little different on the show this week with interviewing this dad-to-be. Blair and his wife are expecting twins in the next couple of weeks so we chat with him about how they are preparing to have babies during the Covid-19 pandemic, how he thinks life is going to change once his kids arrive, how he is going to fold his kids into his social content, and much more.

Blair’s Today’s Dad definition focuses on always being supportive. Whether it is for your kids or your spouse, a Today’s Dad does what it takes to be there and to support. A big thanks to Blair for joining us on the pod this week, be sure to give him a follow, check out his new podcast Golf N’ Stuff, and to wish him and his wife luck as they get ready to start this next chapter of life!

Gentleman Times with Chris Chafin Jun 29, 2020

We are joined on the pod this week by Chris Chafin. Chris is dad to an eight month old, a husband, the host of two different movie podcasts (ABC Movies and 30 Years Later), and a journalist who's written for Rolling Stone, Fast Company, and New York Magazine's Vulture, and lately has been writing about parenting for Vox.

Chris recently wrote an article for Vox about four different dads and how the pandemic has transformed their notion of fatherhood. We spoke with Chris about this article and about what life has been like as a new dad in these crazy covid times.

Chris dropped a very real and to the point Today’s Dad definition. His take on a Today’s Dad is that a Today’s Dad is really just trying to not fuck up. It may sound simple, but there is a lot more to it!

A big thanks to Chris for joining us on the pod this week. Be sure to check out his work and give his podcasts a listen!

Defining Today’s Aba with Marshall Goldman Jun 22, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by Marshall Goldman. Marshall is a dad to two, the Director of the Allan Jones Tennessee Athletics Center, and a real Today’s Dad.

We had a great chat with Marshall about his journey through fatherhood, the ins and outs of raising a blended family, and why his kids call him Aba instead of dad. We also get into a little bit of a deeper conversation regarding some of the social injustice issues in our country and how Marshall has shared some of his encounters with anti-semetic acts with his kids.

Marshall claims his definition of a Today’s Dad is a cop-out, but we think it is a very real answer to the question. His comparison of teaching swimmers breaststroke to all the different styles of fatherhood is very much worth the listen!

A big thanks to Marshall for joining us on the pod this week!

Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. Father’s Day Special 2020 Jun 15, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by some very special guests, our dads! Mike Smith and Michael Palmer make their Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. Debut to share how they define a Today’s Dad, answer some questions about fatherhood, ask us some questions, and share their thoughts on the podcast...because in true dad fashion, they must share their opinion.

We also share updated versions of our Today’s Dad definitions, and we're honored to be able to share them with our dads first. We have interviewed some incredible dads over this past year and have learned a lot from them, so we felt it was time to readdress our definitions.

A big thanks to our dads for joining us for a special episode this week. Enjoy your week with your families and celebrating Father’s Day!

#blackdadworries with Casey Palmer Jun 08, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by Casey Palmer. Casey is a dad to two, a husband, a writer, and the mastermind behind Casey Palmer, Canadian Dad | Husband. Father. Storyteller.

The goal of this show has always been to learn from our guests so we can be better fathers, husbands and people. We spoke with Casey this week about life as a black dad, #blackdadworries, and about all of the protests that are happening around the world as a result of George Floyd’s death.

This is a really important episode that we hope makes people think about the long standing race issues in this country, and how we have an opportunity to fix the problem….and it starts at home with how we talk to our kids!

Casey’s Today’s Dad definition is a great starting point! He talks about how a Today’s Dad is trying to change the world’s perception of what a dad is, which it feels like we are doing in regards to how we treat one another. This is a great episode and we are so thankful to Casey for coming on and talking some real truths with us!

Running Kodiak Cakes and Families with Joel Clark and Cameron Smith Apr 27, 2020

We are joined this week by Joel Clark and Cameron Smith of Kodiak Cakes. Joel is the CEO and Cameron is the President and Co-founder of one of the tastiest brands around, Kodiak Cakes!

This interview was scheduled before coronavirus had made its mark, so by the time we chatted Joel and Cameron were well into the swing of the work-from-home lifestyle. We talked about how their workflow has changed, about the benefits of being at home with their families, and how Kodiak Cakes is staying open.

Two great Today's Dad definitions are added to the mix this week. Joel and Cameron have four kids each, so they know a thing or two about being a Today’s Dad. Joel’s definition focuses on the balance of being a friend and a parent to your kids and building respect with them. Cameron’s definition focuses on being present-understanding what your kids are going through and connecting with them on common ground so you can understand them better.

A big thanks to Joel and Cameron for joining us on the podcast this week! If you aren’t on the Kodiak Cakes train yet, now is the time!

Rickhouse - April 2020 Apr 24, 2020

Hey everyone welcome to the Rickhouse, the home of the ever maturing Today’s Dad definition! We say it every week but the goal of our show is to “define Today’s Dad”...we do this by asking our guest to share their definition at the top of every show...
We store these definitions week after week as podcasts, on our YouTube channel, social media platforms and we constantly highlight them but we haven’t quite found the right way to store them individually while mixing them together into a tasty blended definition to share with you...until now….
Welcome To The RICKHOUSE
These episodes will drop the last Friday of every month, adding to the ever maturing and complexity that is a "Today's Dad" ~ Enjoy

Mountain Athlete Mike Chambers and A Long Run For a Short Slide Apr 20, 2020

Our guest on the pod this week is a dad to two, husband, professional mountain athlete and Co-founder of Flying Kites, Mike Chambers. We talk with Mike about how his life as a professional athlete has changed since becoming a dad, he and his wife's work in Kenya with Flying Kites, the upcoming season of Beat Monday and life as a Today’s Dad.

Mike’s Today’s Dad definition is all about being overwhelmingly present. But being present doesn’t just mean being physically there, it means introducing your kids to new things, taking part in what brings them joy and connecting with them.

We had a great time talking with Mike and really appreciate him taking time to talk with us! Be on the lookout for the upcoming season of Beat Monday on Outside TV and be sure to check out Flying Kites and support this incredible organization.

Covid Check-In: Round 1 ft. Brooke Williamson and Nick Roberts Apr 15, 2020

Welcome to the Covid Check-In. We will be dropping these episodes every Wednesday for the next little bit. Our goal with these episodes is to do a quick check-in with folks all around our country and see how covid is impacting them, their families, their business, and hear what they are doing to keep their families moving forward and to help their communities.

We couldn’t think of a better couple to start with than Brooke Williamson and Nick Roberts. Nick is a Today’s Dad who sat down with us earlier this year (be sure to give his episode a listen for a deeper dive into this powerhouse couple), to talk about being Co-chef & Co-owner of four restaurants in the LA area with his wife (and Top Chef Season 14 Winner), Brooke.

We all know California has been hit really hard by Covid-19, and the impact on the independent restaurant community has been huge. Currently only one of Nick and Brooke’s four restaurants remains open, and they aren’t just spending their time doing business as usual. They are working hard (with the help of World Central Kitchen) to help feed the battered frontline medical workers to keep their spirits and energy up.

Thanks to Brooke and Nick for taking time to talk with us (and to Hudson for letting us delay their dinner), and for their efforts to help out in LA. Please consider supporting their efforts if you can, or look for ways to help out the local restaurant community in your area.
Stay healthy and home friends!

Forging the Path with Kenneth Kellogg Apr 13, 2020

We are joined on the pod this week by Kenneth Kellogg. Kenneth is a dad to two, a husband, a Today’s Dad and a professional opera singer. We had the privilege of meeting and hearing Kenneth share his story at Dad 2 back in February and knew immediately we had to have him share his story on the pod.

His Today’s Dad definition is all about how a Today’s Dad gets shit done! They lead their family and provide direction for their children. Kenneth shares how he feels we should prepare the world for our children, rather than prepare our children for the world.

This is a great episode, we are so thankful to Kenneth for sharing his story with us and for inspiring us to not only be better dads, but better humans. We can’t wait for Blue to start touring again once we are on the other side of coronavirus so we can all go see Kenneth in this incredible sounding opera.

Creating A Kids Book About with Jelani Memory Apr 06, 2020

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to six (yes six), husband, Today’s Dad and Founder of A Kids Book About-Jelani Memory!

Jelani defines a Today’s Dad as someone who shows up, and as someone who grew up without someone filling the role of a father for him he knows just how impactful being there can be. But he goes further than just being physically present, he engages with his kids at their level and isn’t afraid to dive into the tough stuff with them….enter A Kids Book About Racism

What started as a book he only wrote for his kids has now turned into a company whose mission is to create children’s books that are easy to understand but that talk about the important, empowering and challenging elements of life. So far they have covered topics like racism, money, divorice, creativity, belonging, gratitude, failure, cancer and so much more.

A huge thanks to Jelani for joining us on the show and sharing his Today’s Dad story and for bringing A Kids Book About to the world. Be sure to check out their website and get a book or two for your family!

From Football Coach to At-Home Dad Blogger with Joseph Fowler Mar 23, 2020

We are joined this week by former University of Kansas and University of Miami football coach, mastermind behind the Chasing Everyday Adventures blog, husband, and dad to two Joseph Fowler!

Joseph traded in his whistle to be an At-Home-Dad once he knew he was going to have his first kid and has been rocking the roll ever since. His wife is a Senior Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator at Army West Point, so you know he stays busy! We have a great talk with Joseph about how to be involved with your kids in their “headspace” and lives and the importance of really engaging with them on that level.

Joseph is incredibly open about his own journey with cracking into his headspace and the power of being able to recognize when we need help, and his Today’s Dad definition reflects that! Everyone can relate to this episode in some form or fashion, especially in our current situation with the coronavirus.

A big thanks to Joseph for joining us on the pod!

Coronavirus - Cutting Through the Bullshit with Dr. Ryan Redman Mar 16, 2020

We have a Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. special episode on coronavirus with our good friend, and Today’s Dad, Dr. Ryan Redman joined us to help answer questions and cut through the bullshit about what is really going on with coronavirus.
Look we all know there is a lot of information available to us right now, and that's a good thing, but there are some really important facts that everyone needs to know and some good practices that we should ALL be implementing. We can’t promise we covered all of them but this episode is a great starting point.
We hope this episode helps to calm some of the anxiety around coronavirus and its impact on your family and lifestyle, but also hope that it leaves you understanding how serious things are and the importance of social distancing so we can flatten the curve and ultimately save lives. Thanks to Dr. Ryan Redman for taking time to join, and to all our health care providers for being on the frontline of this battle.

Zoos, Snakes, Kayaks, and Parenting with Flexibility with Phil Colclough Mar 16, 2020

We are joined this week by Phil Colclough! Phil is a dad to two, a husband, an outdoor enthusiast and the Director of Animals, Conservation and Education at Zoo Knoxville. We sat down with Phil at Hexagon Brewing Co. in Knoxville, TN to add his Today’s Dad definition to the mix.
Phil talks with us about sharing his love of the outdoors, whether it's kayaking, camping or exploring, with his family and gives his take on how to introduce and share your passions with your kids. Phil and his crew have so much fun playing in the outdoors, and do it in comfort, it certainly made us jealous we don’t get to join in the fun!
His Today’s Dad definition is about flexibility. Everyone one of our kids is unique so we can’t parent them the same as the next. We have to be flexible in how we raise them and teach them to be flexible as they move through life, trying new things, and discovering what their calling and passions are. A big thanks to Phil for joining us on the show, and to Hexagon Brewing Co. for letting us record at their place and keeping us hydrated!

UFC: Scott ‘Hot Sauce’ Holtzman - Gettin’ It While the Gettin's Good Feb 24, 2020

UFC Lightweight Division Fighter, Today’s Dad to an almost 2 year or 20 month old (you’ll get the joke once you listen), and hot sauce enthusiast Scott “Hot Sauce” Holtzman joins us for this week's pod! We sat down with Scott after his most recent fight, and win, for a talk about his Today’s Dad definition, and what life as a dad who is a UFC fighter is like!

Scott talks with us about how his mentality around fighting “adjusted” once becoming a dad and why his role as a dad is his favorite job. We dive into the life lessons and teachings that sports have helped to teach him, the importance of male role models (especially when you don’t have a father figure), cubicle work life, how he became Hot Sauce, and how UFC fighters put their kid to sleep, and so much more!

Scott’s today’s dad definition goes deep, like his buddy Scott Stalling’s did, but the big takeaway is how a Today’s Dad does whatever it takes to get the job done. We know you will enjoy this episode! A big thanks to Scott for taking time to come on the pod and share his story!

Dad 2 Dad-Dad Talk: Scott Stallings Jan 13, 2020

We are joined this week by Scott Stallings for a Dad 2 Dad-Dad Talk! Scott is PGA Tour golfer, dad to two, ONNIT athlete, and the definition of driven! Scott had us out to record the episode at his “barn” aka his incredible home gym, it is no wonder that he is one of the fittest, if not THE fittest, golfer on tour! But this hasn’t always been the case.

We talked with Scott about his transformation, both physically and mentally, and the moment he realized he needed to make a change. Scott’s kids have spent most of their life being on tour with him, but that is changing in 2020. We talked about how he is preparing, as a dad, to be on the road for close to 200 days and not have his family with him as much as he has in the past. This is a great episode that covers a lot, including the Scott Stallings Kids Play Free Initiative that allows kids to play golf for free 365 days a year and even provides them with free rental clubs!

Be ready to buy some Ryan Holiday and Malcom Gladwell books when it is over, because you are going to be inspired to optimize yourself like Scott has ...because as Today’s Dads, we are always working to be the best version of ourselves we can be!
