  • Critical for anyone wanting to be the best Dad they can be!

    This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts. The way Larry over-delivers every single time is incredible, and the guests bring real value. If you're a Dad, I could not recommend this show more - I wish I would have found this podcast sooner. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to become a better provider, protector, and parent. Thanks for everything you do, Larry - Sam Rosenberg

  • Great Topics for Dads

    It’s really cool to have a dedicated podcast for fathers raising sons. The topics are awesome. On any given episode the chapters are very on point. I like that it’s unscripted and not a monologue style podcast, and it’s more of an interview style. Genuine!

    I think my only concern is that some episodes seem very low energy like the people being interviewed are not engaging. I’m listening to a recent episode where the host had to repeat his question to get opinions of the guests who sound like th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When Success Stops Feeling Like Enough featuring John R. Miles
Q: What was the turning point that led you to focus on mattering and the Mattering Effect?
A combination of personal burnout, a meaningful crisis during his divorce, and a series of near-tragic events pushed him to realize that external success wasn't filling the inner need for belonging; this spurred his pivot to study mattering and develop practical frameworks.
The Five Pillars That Rebuilt My Marriage featuring Justin Pickering
Q: What are the five pillars that guided your transformation?
Gratitude; framing and reframing; focusing on what you can control; choosing action over perfection; harnessing the power of words and thoughts. He emphasizes these as actionable practices that cumulative small changes can build a resilient mindset and better relationships.
Why Apologizing to Your Kids Builds Trust, Not Weakness featuring Adam Ukman
Q: What practical steps can a dad take to build confidence and improve his relationship with his kids?
Steps include keeping your word to yourself and others, establishing intentional routines (like a weekly lunch date with your partner), and using curiosity-driven conversations with kids to guide problem-solving rather than lecturing.
Why Apologizing to Your Kids Builds Trust, Not Weakness featuring Adam Ukman
Q: From your study of 1,300 fathers, what stood out about how dads want to be represented?
The dominant insight is that dads want to be seen as unconditional, present, and loving providers, with a desire for media to reflect the everyday realities of fatherhood beyond stereotypes; there's a clear craving for authenticity and relatability in storytelling.
Why Apologizing to Your Kids Builds Trust, Not Weakness featuring Adam Ukman
Q: What are you seeing in the current state of men's media and why do you think there's so much toxicity around it?
The guest explains that media rewards division and friction, creating a zero-sum environment. He argues for more nuanced narratives that reflect men who are trying to show up as kind, capable, and caring fathers, rather than either extreme of hyper-masculinity or soft, emotionally fragile portrayals.
