    Do you ever feel the gap between the dad you are and the dad you know you are capable of being, especially when your reactions, your past, or what you did not have modeled growing up show up in the moment? This podcast is for that gap.

    The Dad Edge Podcast does not just talk about being a better dad. It gives you language, frameworks, and real examples to change how you show up. It is not about perfection. It is about awareness, ownership, and doing the work consistently enough that your kids e... more

  • Great Show

    Keep up the great work. I’ve been listening for almost a couple years but have a backlog of saved episodes as well that I’m going through. So many good guests and topics that have helped bring some understanding and desire to be better as a husband and father. The episode with your wife and several of the episodes with your son Ethan have been favorites. They are leading me to be more intentional across the board to strive to have relationships with my sons and wife that you seem to have.
