The Dad Code Podcast — Real Dads, Real Talk, No BS

I haven’t posted a podcast for a while now. I’ve been dealing with a lot of loss in my family recently, and it has caused me to fall into a bit of a depression quite honestly. I really needed to record this podcast because it helped me be able to begin to heal. I haven’t talked about it very much with anybody outside of extremely close family. Loss is never easy that is for sure. I hope that there...

I absolutely LOVE going to the movies! Check out my first ever true movie review as i give my opinion and take on the latest Mission Impossible installment from Tom Cruise. I also discuss whether or not Tom Cruise is the "last action hero" and why his movies are so good!#missionimpossible#moviereview#amctheaters#tomcruise#deadreckoning

We would all like to think our parents will never die or get older. But eventually it will be time that we have to take care of them as they did when we were children. I share my experiences over the last month in dealing with having to care for my mother in her time of need and the lessons we can pass on to our kids.#dads #dadpodcast

FAther's Day is here and we all look forward to be celebrated...but should we be celebrating ourselves or should we be celebrating fatherhood in general and remembering the father's and male role models who shaped us as fathers? Also, we delve into some of the craziness that has begotten the world in regards to the Bud Light Protest and the influence of woke ideology in our schools and media. I ha...

In this episode I share my experiences about how this year is going for myself and my young men.

What an unbelievable quote by Giannis recently after his recent loss in the playoffs when questioned about whether or not, he would consider this year a failure for the Milwaukee bucks. I think that there are parallels all around us that we can help kids connect the dots to as we are coaching them in youth sports. It is our job as coaches to do so. Often we get caught up in trying not to offend ki...

He is Risen!!! Easter is always a favorite for me because it gives everyone a stark reminder that we have victory over the grave. Jesus didn't say that he died for just a few select people... no, instead he said i will die for everyone's sins and rise from the grave and everyone who believes in me will not die but have everlasting life... We don't deserve it but he did it anyway... He loves us as...

I cant believe I am having to talk about another schoold shooting much less it being in my home state and within an hour of my house... I have done videos in the past that have addressed how I think we should solve the horrifying problem of these school shootings and I echo the same solution again! When will we take this seriously and stop arguing amongst ourselves over political crap?#nashville#n...

How do you react to criticism? Do you overreact? Do you take it out on others? Or does it drive you to make things better? Either way our kids are watching and are taking notes. They want the validation to be able to know what to do whenever we are having a bad day. #DadAdvice #WorkAdvice #DadPodcast

This is a very difficult thing to explain, but in a way being a coach is harder than being a dad. What I mean by this is when you are a coach that is a dad. It is 10 times as difficult to separate your emotions as a parent and your logic as a coach. In this episode, I try to break down exactly how to separate being a father and being a coach at the same time. #dadpodcast #coaching #youthsportscoac...

How do you handle anxiety? What about your kids or loved ones? Do we have strategies on how to overcome anxiety? The Bible has some wise words that SHOUDL give us all comfort! #christianpodcast #sundaysermon #dadadvice #dadpodcast

Often at work or in building any type of organization leaders try and build said organizations on false narratives, lies, slight of hand, and exaggerations. Unfortunately for people in positions of leadership they are left with a decision of doing things the hard way and building a strong foundation for their organizations, or they can take the easier road of lying, deceiving, and misleading peopl...

A lot of great changed to the podcast this year (2023)! I look forward to putting out more content on set days this year! Sundays: "Sunday Morning Sermon" We will talk about spirituality and how our walk with God affects our relationships with our kids, wives, mothers etc. Wednesdays: "Windshield Talk" Here we will talk about anything and everything that has to do with work, relationships, money,...

Loneliness It has claimed many a man's hearts and minds. It's something that plagues us all but does not have to define us. God never meant for us to be alone and doesn't ever leave us so we are never TRUELY alone as a result. But is loneliness really just remedied by just asking for and going after what we want in life? Can it be as simple as JUST asking? I think so. I share some personal insight...

Sunday Morning Sermon Time! I'm no preacher but these are the things that are on my heart this Sunday morning! We constantly are saving and grinding and worrying about what TOMORROW will bring for us. We act like TOMORROW is owed to us and is guaranteed, but the reality is TOMORROW belongs to GOD. Our heavenly father knows exactly what we need and how to get us there. We have plenty of reasons to...

Wholesale Changes are coming to the show... These aren't decisions I came to lightly... I have had some life changing moments happen since I have last recorded stemming from a thyroid surgery that led to a subsequent cancer diagnosis... Its TIME.... it's time for myself and every dad I can reach to begin practicing what we preach and becoming much more than just a protector and provider... we are...

You know we love a good hot sauce review! But what happens when we combine a hot sauce review with a review of the All Inclusive Mexican Resort we just returned from? One word-- Awesomeness! We thank Woos! Hot Sauce for sending us all three of their hot sauces from their hot sauce line up. Three levels of heat and three levels of tastiness... how will they fair on our rating scale? Secrets Akumal...

We all want our kids to grow up being polite and productive people right? Of course we do... What is the best way to get there in terms of how we raise them? Do we want to raise them to be timid, shy, agreeable folks who go along with everything anyone ever throws out there to them? How do we think that will go over when they start dating? Will they leap to the first person who gives them attentio...

I really tried to move on from this subject. It's really not the kind of content I like to put out-- but as a father, I feel like I have to weigh in on the absurd way that this situation was handled and how I would like to see security in out schools change. A few episodes back I did a reaction to the Uvalde tragedy and gave what I thought was a reasonable safety measure to protect kids from these...

Reading some of the headlines out there (without getting to political) is often hard, but I try and steer clear from political crap and only point out things I find to be relevant or boarder on absurdity. I think we as Dad's have to stay abreast of the happenings in the world today and be able to formulate our own opinions based on the values we want to instill in our kids. DON'T just read the tit...

This was an episode I really had to think long and hard about whether I wanted to publish it or not... I have not ever had a medical issue in my life but have quickly learned that it is something that will rock you to your core... It made me think about some changes both to my job and people around Me's job that seem to be in "flux" at the moment. It made me think about how I spend my time and ene...

As a Coach it is very difficult to teach kids how to win... It is even more difficult to teach them how to operate in the confines of a more hostile championship atmosphere. In this episode I detail our experience as a team in our league championship game & Oh what a game it was! I also recap my overall assessment of the year and how proud I am of all "my boys". It should go without saying tha...

It has been a long hard road but we are finally here! We have earned the right to play in the championship game! These kids have made me proud all year regardless of their win/loss record. The improvement and buy in have been second to none this year and it is showing on the field. Obviously as always there are things we can work on to get better but for the most part I am VERY happy with how we p...
