  • New listener and can't get enough.

    i grew up and still have an incredible father. i know that many out there do not have that same privlage and I'm so fortunate. A real father is not just around, but he is fully present and sets the trajectory for their children. It starts with how to treat their mother. How you treat your wife sets the example of how your kids will treat their mom, and when they grow up will show your sons how they should treat their wives and your daughters how they should expect to be treated and know that the... more

  • 5 stars!

    This podcast is awesome. It’s funny, authentic, and doesn’t try to pretend parenting is perfect. For the Dads makes fatherhood feel real, messy, and meaningful all at once. Definitely worth a listen for any dad.

  • Long time friend, first time listener

    Long time acquaintance of Sherm while growing up in the Funk before he was aptly named Fat Stafford. This is a great change of pace from the typical dad pods. Perfect mix of vulnerability, laughs and articulating the shared grind of fatherhood. Currently have 2 on the ground and 1 in the oven. In the trenches and glad to know there are other bro’s taking constant mortar fire and mustard gas with me! Good work y’all!
