A must for any parent!

I am a Mom, not a Dad, but I absolutely love this podcast! I have never thought about how much help and support there is out there for Moms but I’ve never really seen anything geared toward Dads. As I am listening I realize it’s because men don’t just talk openly like this. This podcast has helped me understand and have a better respect for what it means and feels like to be a Dad! I love it!

Audition for the play

What a way to wrap up the “Diner” series! Awesome conversation

Honest, fun, and hopefull.

David and his guests talk openly about the things that all men need to hear. Whether you're already a dad, or plan to someday be, you will walk away from each episode with something to chew on.
Of all of the dozens of podcasts I listen to, this one is the most influential. The one that impacts me the most as a man, and the one that has quickly turned into my go-to listen.
