Islands of Safety with Chris Baddick Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Don't fear - Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. is back just in time for Father's Day!
Chris Baddick joins Palmer this week on the pod for a conversation that focuses on untangling the whirlwind of life - and embracing the lessons learned along the way. Chris is a dad to two young girls, a former professional mountain biker, and a lover of all things outside.
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!

Growth Through Adversity with Travis Macy Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

This week on the pod I’m joined by my buddy Travis Macy! Travis made his first appearance on the pod back in August of 2021 and I am thrilled to have him back! Travis is a dad to two, the host of the Travis Macy Show, an author, endurance coach and just an incredibly genuine human who I feel very lucky to get to call a friend.

Travis and I talk about some of the lessons he has learned about life while hosting a podcast, the privilege of getting to share stories, our thoughts on leaving “your mark” on the world, his family's journey with Alzheimer's, adversity, and much more!

If you all haven't checked out The Travis Macy Show be sure to do so! It is a great podcast, and it is one that I am very proud to have as part of the Palm Tree Pod Co. family of shows. Along those lines, I am very excited about another new show joining the family, the Turning On The Light Podcast with Eric Bell.

10,000 Slams with Michael Friedberg Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

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.

If you would like to contribute to the GoFundMe discussed in the episode to support the Friedberg family; the link is in our show notes.

“We’re All Learning Together” with Chef JJ Johnson Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

This week on the pod I am joined by JJ Johnson. JJ is a dad to twins, the Chef/Foudner of FIELDTRIP, the co-author of Between Harlem and Heaven, and host of the cooking show - Just Eats with Chef JJ.

JJ and I talked a lot about the intersection of food and culture on the pod this week. We dove into how he shares culture through cooking, why he feels it is so important to do so, and I asked him if he feels a sense of responsibility to share culture through his cooking and how he hopes to share all of this with his kids.

We also talked about some of the cultural struggles of being a black father raising black kids, how he and his restaurant worked to support their community during the Covid-19 pandemic, and we had some laughs over him cutting his teeth as a parent with twins!

A big thanks to JJ for getting into some heavy stuff with me during this conversation.

Show notes

This week on the pod I am joined by Andy Pearson. Andy is a dad to two, the VP of Creative Liquid Death Mountain Water, an ultra runner and a man capable of growing a lot of hair.
Andy and I dive into a lot on the pod this week! Andy talks about some funny stories from the campaigns he has worked on at Liquid Death (like capturing some of Tony Hawk’s blood), his training for the Barkley Marathon and the Vol State Race.
We also take a dive into the world of climate change and how we view its impacts now as dads. We talk about how important protecting our planet and “playgrounds” are so we can adventure with our kids, and how we are capable of making the change we need. Andy wraps up the show with some killer thoughts during our rapid fire section.

A big thanks to Andy for joining me on the pod this week and to WDDR alumni, Dominic Grossman for helping to connect us!

"Courage Is" Jason Kander Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

This week on the pod I am joined again by Jason Kander! Jason is a dad to two, the President of Veterans Community Project, the host of the Majority 54 Podcast, and the Co-Author of a new children’s book that he wrote with his son, titled Courage Is.
I had a great time connecting with Jason again. We dove into a lot on this episode, but the conversation started with talking about the new book that he and his son True wrote, how that journey started and what it was like getting to have that experience with his son.
This led to a deeper conversation around courage, Jason’s current work helping to get folks out of Afghanistan, mental health, race and its relationship to privilege and parenting, getting involved in local elections, “normalizing stuff” and much more!
A huge thanks to Jason for joining me on the pod.
