A great podcast, interesting from a perspective of adventure dad! And the discussions on the subjectđđ.
Great show on mixing passion for the outdoors with family!!
This podcast should be shared with all the dads and even all the moms! Itâs so real in talking about the challenges of balancing parenting with self-care and marriage and life! I also love hearing dads getting real and sharing their feelings. Keep the inspiring stories coming!!!
High energy and passion just oozes out of these sessions. Ben is obviously âall-inâ and wants to help other dads find the path to pursuing excellence while holding down the fort, so to speak. How does one pursue their passion in sports as we age, build a family and deepen the relationships around us? Ben tackles this head on and has some rad interviews with other amazing human beings that are not common on the podcast circuit.
Ben is a great story teller and weaving in mindset with this topic as a dad and active person is great. I love climbing, Airsoft, extreme sports, and much more and canât wait to inspire my son in these fun adventures.
Excitement around this podcast is REAL because the level of committed, healthy dads who have been on so far is amazing. Strong content with strong calls to action. Letâs get it! âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
Great show
Parenting + getting rad. Love listening to dads talk about what sports theyâre stoked on doing, and how the balance and incorporate their kids in doing that. People have been asking women âhow they balance it allâ since the 50s. Itâs about time someone starts asking the dads, as a way to set the cultural expectations of their involvement in the home AND to actually give the dads who are charting this new frontier of 50/50 parenthood some insight and support on ways to do it well.
