Fearless Fathers

Noticed an issue we missed with audio. Uploaded a new one! so sorry for that!   From all of us here at Fearless Fathers Studios, we wish you and your family a happy holiday and Merry Christmas. Today's episode is a special one.  A listener who wished to go by "Santa" sends us a story to read to you, on how he took what is the worst time of his life, into one that brings joy, hope, and spirit in th...

Today we're going back to where Fearless Fathers has been (both the show and our lives) this past year, and where the show looks to go heading into 2022.    Thank you all for your continued support!

Today on the Fearless Fathers Podcast, Dave-O sits down with the father of 2 and personal trainer, Pat Davy. Pat hails from the land of cheese, (no not France, that would be cool) Wisconsin. Pat hosts a Podcast with his daughter, Alora “Beast Mode Kids” which focuses on bridging the gap of communication between parents and their preteens/teens. BMK began as a way for Pat and Alora to grow closer....

Sorry for the missed episode last week. We felt it best to take a week for everyone to enjoy the holiday with their loved ones, us included.    Today, we go back a bit to a mindset reset episode. Just to refresh and reengage you before the chaos that comes with the holiday season.  Join us next week as we get back into new episodes.    Happy holiday's to all!     

Dave sits down with Rob Kenney (Dad, how do I? from YouTube) to talk about, well...being dads. We learn how the Viral YouTube channel came to be, what that means for his family life now, and how what he has done has helped so many people around the world.    This is one you simply don't want to miss.   

Going back to vault this week with one of our favorite (and first interviews). We (mainly Ryan thanks to DaveO's old setup) talked with Texas dad Chris Solomon. In this conversation, we mainly touched on how his life was set up to adopt his amazing son from Ukraine.    Kick back, relax and get ready for a great one today

Today, We have Ryan back from the depths of cats. We talk about the common money mistakes we have made as dads and other parents make. We also discuss how we feel about Ryan Reynolds. Don't pass on this.

You know, that little voice in the back of your head that tells you you aren't good enough to be a father? Yeah. He's talking that. Dave discusses 2 of the 5 "Imposters" out there, and shares more of his past with you and how that imposter had a stranglehold on him.  You'll know when you're falling into that trap, and what you can do to combat that imposter and become a more positive father.    ov...

Today, we are adding on to our Childhood Nostiglia episode and talking about collectibles in adulthood. What makes us want to collect, and how our kids can grow and learn from what we collect.    Whether it's sports memorabilia, Star Wars, or those amazing, super expensive Beanie Babies from the 90s, it all started somewhere.

It's been a long while since we've had another dad on the show, and we couldn't be happier to open up with this guest!   Dave O sits down and talks with dad of 2 (8 and 4) Nick from California. Nick is the operator of the Instagram page "Dadding Greatly" which aims to help dads overcome their own mental health and setting up memorable moments for our kids.    Nick battled with anxiety for years (w...

We've all heard it in one form or another. The advice that's canned, overused, or just plain bad. YOu know it when you listen to it and tend to brush it off. But... what has taken that advice cost you? A chance at getting uncomfortable? Keeping you tied to old, toxic family traits that don't serve you? A chance at actually feeling like a good father? All of these happen in one form or another. You...

Today on the Fearless Fathers Podcast, Dave O shares his thoughts on Persistence and what that word means in fatherhood. He goes over the good and bad of the word, why it's one of the best tools to have, and not allowing others to halt you. When being persistent, it's easy to fall short of a goal. The road gets tough, and it's harder to move. When you get overwhelmed by a goal, it just means you h...

Dave and Ryan discuss how jobs become toxic. As well as the effects it has on your loved ones.   Dave also talks about his latest project!   http://www.fearlessfathers.net/fearless-finance  

Today on the show, we’re talking about you and your little ones' first day of school. It can be an amazing, and difficult time for both parents and kids. This being the first time that you hope and pray everything you taught your kid will help them and putting your trust into a stranger to guide and grow your child. Both Ryan and Dave give their take on it, Ryan getting ready to send his kid off t...

It seems like more and more, we see and hear of dads away from their kids. More so, it seems like it's the dads who want to be there for their kids daily.   Now, we aren't saying that is the case for everyone. There are those where it needs to and should happen. Those are the dads that don't listen to this podcast. We are talking about the dads who put in the reps every day. Taking every step imag...

We all love to go back in time and remember our good old days. The shows, movies, games, and just plain cool. Sharing those with our kids can be the best time between dad and child. Nothing seems to bring a bond tighter than sharing fandoms.   Today, we talk about just that, from the new Ghostbusters (2021) trailer to superheroes and even video games. We share our takes from the good side and the...

Today, Dave O and Ryan are talking about intervening in your child's growth or letting them figure it out on their own?    Let's break down what we mean by that. What's a better approach to helping our children navigate the world? Should we step in every time and input our own teachings and experience, or should we let them fall, get up, and figure it out?  We feel both of these are the right answ...

Today, Dave O and Ryan talk about Potty training. When is it time to start making that transition? How do you go about it where both you and the little one(s) aren't stressed/upset and hear our stories on how we have been handling it and tricks we've used.    Some key takeaways from today's episode include:   This is a big emotional change in your child's life (and yours). It's a scary, new situat...

Going back for just one more week to touch on a subject that doesn't get hit.    The child tax credit payments are going out to those that wanted them early. Maybe now might be the right time to start investing for your child's future.    Ryan runs this solo with tons of great stuff!    See you next week for a BRAND NEW EPISODE!     

Going back into the archives for today's episode.   Recently DaveO had to go back and reset himself on being a dad, a business owner, and just an overall person.  We all need that reminder once in a while to take a step back in what we're doing, reevaluate our situation and circumstances, then refine and execute our parenting success plan. So take a step back, and FOCUS!   Want more ways to FOCUS?...

You put them on every day. The same shows/movies/songs over and over and over. It's become such a familiar background noise, and you're just about ready to throw the TV out the window.  Have you ever just sat there and watched the show? What if these pre-school/early childhood development/children's shows can enhance our perspective as dads?  Today, DaveO and Ryan share their thoughts on kid's sho...

On Behalf of the Fearless Fathers, we all hope you and your families had a safe and healthy 4th of July! DaveO runs solo today talking about that lovely thing we all do...procrastination. About 20% of adults in the U.S are chronic procrastinators. That tends to come from our families, school, work, lifestyle, etc. But how or why does it come into our kids, and how can we break that cycle?  It's fa...

Due to the week keeping us behind, and both Ryan and Dave battling medical issues, we will play back one of our first and most downloaded interviews.    You'll be sure to enjoy this one for sure.   Today, Dave-O sits down and talks to Ethan Shean, Chief Retail Officer of Strawberry Cannabis, based out of Colorado. A good friend of his, who moved halfway around the country to follow his passions an...

Fitting that our 100th episode would land on fathers day weekend (not like we planned that or anything...we didn't)   Happy fathers day to all our listeners, both new and old. We hope you had a great weekend with your loved ones. Today, Ryan, we talk about our feelings about fathers day. What it means to us, share some stories, and remember that this day isn't all about ties, beer, and BBQ (even t...
