To everyone listening: if you want a memoir that will challenge your assumptions, inspire your spirit, and remind you what family is really about, grab Lane's book A Family, Maybe at laneigoudin.com/afm.

Jey and Mr. Nice Guy discuss the challenges fathers face in the court system, including the complexity of child support and systemic biases. They emphasize the importance of equal parental access for children's welfare and critique historical government policies that contribute to poverty and dependency. The conversation covers wealth inequality, misuse of government aid, and societal neglect of social issues like homelessness. They propose reforms such as regulated spending of child support payments and healthier options for EBT purchases. Additionally, they discuss societal issues like the convenience culture, political corruption, and the potential of renewable energy. Stressing the importance of informed political engagement and personal responsibility, they call for more diverse representation in government and urge individuals to diversify their skills and investments for future stability. The overall message underscores the need for personal empowerment and informed decision-making.
Takeaways:
- The court system often fails to adequately support fathers in custody and child support cases, leading to complex and sometimes unfair payment calculations.
- Children's well-being hinges on having equal access to both parents.
- Historical government policies have fostered dependence on state aid, contributing to cycles of poverty and imbalanced priorities such as high military spending versus underfunded social programs.
- Implementing restrictions on child support expenditures can ensure funds are used solely for essential child-related needs.
- Introducing a specialized card for child support payments could enable better tracking and regulation.
- Healthier food choices could be promoted through restrictions on EBT purchases, moving towards natural and organic options and encouraging home-cooking to save money and improve health.
- Resistance to systemic change is often motivated by fear of financial and power losses.
- Solar energy presents a sustainable solution, though it faces significant barriers.
- Political processes require more diverse representation and the engagement of informed and responsible citizens.
- Long-term stability and success depend on diversifying skills and investments.

🌟 New Episode Alert: A Courageous Conversation on Fatherhood and Miscarriage with Kelly J.P. 🌟
🎙️ Join us on the #YoungDadPodcast as we delve into a deeply personal and often unspoken aspect of fatherhood: miscarriage. Kelly Jean-Philippe, father of two and advocate for miscarriage support for dads, shares his profound experiences and insights.
💔 In this Episode:
- Addressing early pregnancy loss with sensitivity and empathy.
- Exploring social double standards, grief, and loss in the context of fatherhood.
- Discussing Kelly's movement [@themiscarriagedad on IG] to provide equal support for dads during these challenging times.
👨👦 Kelly's journey is not only about overcoming personal challenges but also about starting a vital conversation with his upcoming “The Miscarriage Dads” podcast.
🔗 [Link to the episode]
📣 Episode Highlights:
- "Navigating the complex emotions of miscarriage as a father."
- "Breaking the silence: Why it's essential for dads to share their miscarriage experiences."
❤️ This episode is a must-listen for understanding the often-overlooked perspective of dads in miscarriage. It's a conversation that can change perceptions and offer support where it's much needed.
Fatherhood #MiscarriageAwareness #ParentingPodcast #EmpathyAndSupport
Trigger warning: today, we will discuss early pregnancy loss, aka miscarriage, and it is approached with sensitivity, respect, and empathy.
Kelly Jean-Philippe is a father of two boys ages 3 and 7 months. He and his wife have been married for the past 5 years. Along their journey of starting and growing their family, Kelly and his wife experienced multiple miscarriages. The profound impact of these experiences on Kelly has led him to start a movement advocating for fathers to receive an equal level of support and resources as mothers in the event of early pregnancy loss. You can follow this grassroots movement @themiscarriagedad on IG, and subscribe to the upcoming “The Miscarriage Dads” podcast which is normalizing dads openly talking about the father’s experience of miscarriage.
Kelly also runs The Miscarriage Dad page on I.G. Kelly became a dad in 2020/2023, and being a dad means discovering who I am by discovering who my children are, and I think that's just beautiful.
With that in mind, get comfy, pop that straw into your juice box, open your snack, and let's talk.
As I said, we spoke today about early pregnancy loss; we jumped into the social double standards, grief, loss, and some complex and real topics that 1/4 of fathers will face (as 1/4 pregnancies result in early loss) buckle up as this episode is probably a top 3!

Bryan is one cool, down-to-earth, authentic, and intelligent man. We are fans of his show, and having Bryan on is something you will not want to miss.

Along with being a generous soul, Bryan is a husband, proud father of two adult sons, Marine Corps Veteran, and championship basketball coach.
On today's show, Bryan took us through his journey as a Husband and Father, for starters.

There is a first time for everything, and today is that day as we do a cross-platform recording and co-host the same show that one can hear on two platforms. We weld together the Young Dad Podcast and (Not So) Secret Dad Business into one beautiful little recording for all to hear from the U.S.A. to down Unda' in Australia and across the globe. A little about Nathan, the host of (Not So) Sacred Dad Business: his show is fantastic as he talks about all the aspects of fatherhood, men's mental health, and other men's issues- like child trafficking and internet safety and isn't afraid to get into the weeds of other hot button issues. His show is to educate dads like you and me. A little more about Nate before jumping in since we show the recording across both platforms for all to hear. Nate is a father of 1 and an active dadvocate; he works 50+ hours a week welding and fabrication in Western Sydney, Australia. He is also an incredibly involved father at home and coaches him on the weekends. Get comfy, pop that straw in your juice box, open that snack, and let's talk.

Today, we are discussing manhood and what that transition looks and feels like for young men. It's a confusing, scary, and great big world out there for our young men today, and any guidance that is good, faith-based, and from first-hand experience is worth a listen.
If you're not a person of faith, believing in God and the Bible, this episode might not be for you. However it is for us, it's a part of our lives, and we are proud to talk about His word and its impact on our lives whenever we can.
Today, we dove into Isaiah's message with his channel, which is fueled by 1st Timothy 4:12 (N.I.V. translation): "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, faith, and purity." Digging a little deeper, we talked about honoring the masculine role God has tasked us with- being an ambassador and soldier of the Kingdom of Heaven. That might mean marriage for some, the blessing of singleness, and the sole focus on God for others, regardless of the end goal, is the same.
Listen in as we talk about the above, along with masculine mentality, health and physical fitness for men, understanding and interacting correctly with women, relationships, setting and achieving goals, and much more.

It's an absolute honor and joy to welcome back one of our good friends and the first guest and first EVER return guest, your host of (Not so) Single Dad Reboot- Craig Y.
It was fun to catch up with my old friend Craig as we talked about Toxic Relationships, lack of mental health awareness, and the importance of communication. We also dove deep into talking about divorce: how your divorce doesn't define you, the shift in attitude towards divorced people, the need for support during and after divorce, and all that you can learn from divorce.
Craig's platform and show "Single Dad Reboot" is about helping people recover from divorce and helping parents transition into shared custody/single parenting. You share your experience with others to help them share theirs. This is precisely how Craig and I initially connected- listen in to learn more.

Young is our last name, and Fatherhood is our game.
Trigger warning: today, we will discuss early pregnancy loss, aka miscarriage, and it is approached with sensitivity, respect, and empathy. Kelly Jean-Philippe is a father of two boys ages 3 and 7 months. He and his wife have been married for the past 5 years. Along their journey of starting and growing their family, Kelly and his wife experienced multiple miscarriages. The profound impact of these experiences on Kelly has led him to start a movement advocating for fathers to receive an equal level of support and resources as mothers in the event of early pregnancy loss. You can follow this grassroots movement @themiscarriagedad on IG, and subscribe to the upcoming “The Miscarriage Dads” podcast which is normalizing dads openly talking about the father’s experience of miscarriage.
It's about that time. Pull up a chair, grab a juice box, grab a snack, and talk with our guest, Kelly, the host of the Welcome to Fatherhood Podcast and the Miscarriage Dad Podcast, releasing TODAY! Kelly also runs The Miscarriage Dad page on I.G. Kelly became a dad in 2020/2023, and being a dad means discovering who I am by discovering who my children are, and I think that's just beautiful.
With that in mind, get comfy, pop that straw into your juice box, open your snack, and let's talk.
As I said, we spoke today about early pregnancy loss; we jumped into the social double standards, grief, loss, and some complex and real topics that 1/4 of fathers will face (as 1/4 pregnancies result in early loss) buckle up as this episode is probably a top 3!

Girl Dad + Parent Hood + Humor = Love and Sapp
Jeff is one cool dude, and I knew this episode would be one for the ages when he was asked what being a dad meant to him. "To put it into the simplest of terms (because we all know it's complex), It means trying to be a great example of what a good human is and trying to recreate that in a tiny human while also understanding that this child/tiny human is their person and has their personality, so respecting that too." Granted, this is something fluid and ever-changing, but this right here is a great mindset to keep.
Over @darlinglydad on I.G., you can find Jeff "share clips of my daughter and I enjoying new experiences. I do this with parenting quotes that mean something to me and through humor. I call it "laughs & saps" because sometimes it's funny, and sometimes it's serious and can get a little sappy. I keep it as light as possible since we all have our stuff going on and often turn to social media to escape it. I hope my daughter can look back at this account one day, see the clips, see my captions, share in on the laughs, and see how much I love being her dad."
Being a dad is so freaking cool, and as we discussed, neither of us can understand why you'll don't step up and hang out with your kids more.
Another fantastic thing we discussed is how it's not just mom being the "default parent," our generation, and all you amazing dads following Jeff and us are helping break and, honestly, OBLITERATE that stigma. We both are so proud of you for killing it and being great dads.

This could have gone on for hours. It could have been going to come back to this one. We were so blessed to have Bryan Ward, the Dad Up Podcast host: By Dads, For Dads, About Dads.
Bryan is one cool, down-to-earth, authentic, and intelligent man. We are fans of his show, and having Bryan on is something you will not want to miss. Especially at the show's end, he dropped a special offer for THREE LISTENERS. Along with being a generous soul, Bryan is a husband, proud father of two adult sons, Marine Corps Veteran, and championship basketball coach.
On today's show, Bryan took us through his journey as a Husband and Father, for starters. We dove into topics of one-on-one time with your kids and partner; we talked about how important it is to sacrifice to be there for your kids, make the time, build a support system, be proactive in your relationship with your partner, and so many more amazing little tidbits and gems throughout the show.

It's Caitlin and Jerome! Joining us today are the hosts of the Everyday Parents podcast- Jerome and Caitlin. They are fellow parent-casters with your show Everyday Parents- A day-in-the-Life podcast, where you interview parents about their daily lives. You guys are also from Michigan, the land of 10,000 lakes.What does being a parent mean to these two? "It means I'm too tired to think about these probing questions at the end of the day, lol. But for both of us, it's something we take super seriously regarding the responsibility of raising our daughter to be a caring, capable person. Right now, with her only 18 months, that feels far off. Still, we constantly discuss how to approach different phases and behaviors to keep her healthy and developing." One of the best things we discussed is that no one has it all figured out when it comes to parenting, which makes it so fun. We also discussed the baby phase, deciding to stay at home, finding pockets of time together as new parents, being a stay-at-home dad, and so much more. These two were a true joy to have on the show.

Today's episode is perfect for new parents, soon-to-be parents, and honestly, all parents to take a moment and reflect. Today, we welcomed the host of Finding Your Village Podcast, Amanda Gorman. Amanda is a wife, mother of 2, and a childbirth education mentor. Today we talked about preparing for childbirth, the 4th trimester, parental mental health, and much more. What else? Great question; we talked about the transition periods from 0-1, 1-2, 2-3, and some of the challenges included in each of those phases. Amanda educates us on the L.E.A.P. The four phases of preparing for a child: Learning, Emotional Prep, Admin, Products. Honestly, that was my favorite part.

We are back! It's been a fantastic couple of weeks off, wrapping up the summer and having a bunch of fun with our families, and now as we gear up for the back-to-school craziness, we also gear up for season 4 of the show, thank you so much for being here. We kick off the show with Allan, creator of the Daddying Film Festival. Allan is a man who has over 150 years of experience being a daddy and granddad as well. To him, being a dad is more than just who you are; it's what you do. Today, we discuss the zenith of fatherhood/daddying and how they intersect. Allan takes us through his journey and all he has learned about going from fathering to daddying. Lastly, Allan and I talk about how our kids want us; they want our time and love.

What a way to end season 3 of the show; first, thank you all for your love, support, listens, and everything you have given us over the past 41 episodes + bonus for nearly 60+ episodes. This has been a journey, and we can't believe we will enter season 4 soon. Thank you all! We will be returning with new episodes on August 16th!
Today, on the show, we welcome Chris, the man, myth, and legend behind Kingdom Father's world. On the show today, we get after it! We talk about how Chris got started into Dad content. The brothers and Chris talked about God, his timing, love, and blessing on us. Sidebar: if that's not your thing, we get it. Stay listening
Aaron was the catalyst in this episode as he helped us break down some excellent questions you might be thinking yourself. 1: What do you do, and how do you deal with a new father figure entering the picture? 2: What's crucial in healing after a divorce and moving on with life? Sidebar: some adult language is used during this episode, hence the little E by the title.
We end by asking Chris what it means to him to be a dad and his parting wisdom for all of you listening. It's great. You will want to take advantage of it.

I had no idea what to think as we started this conversation with Brian, but I'm glad we started, continued, and finished as I left feeling fired up to be a better dad, and you will too.
Brian took us through his journey growing up bouncing houses, to college, to a college basketball career, playing professionally in Germany, to having his oldest son at 20, and up to how and why Dream Dads USA was created.
The best takeaways from our semi-finale of season three featured: keeping it real, the struggle of a father, dealing with the stress of fatherhood, dealing with mental and emotional issues as a father, getting your kids involved in your thoughts, being the best person for your daughter and so much more within this episode.

"And that, as we say, is As Dad As It Gets," it was a lot of fun sitting down and chatting with Larry. Larry was such a pleasure to talk to, and we could have gone for hours, no pun intended. Larry took us through his journey into parenthood: infertility, becoming a foster parent, and ultimately leading to getting a single Facebook message 48 hours later; he and his wife were at the hospital welcoming their daughter into this world. I know a wild and crazy ride.
As we went through the episode, Larry and Jey talked about some of the most exciting questions Larry gets as a foster/adoptive parent; the two chatted about some fears, connecting with the biological family of adoptive parents, how our girls will go from the most loving creatures to busting noses the next second and much more about our kids. We ended our chat by discussing how after you become a parent, you must redefine your relationship with your friends; you might get left behind if you have girls and your friends have boys. Most importantly, how meaningful your relationship with your partner is, and to wrap it all us, Larry left us some excellent parting wisdom as we closed. We hope you enjoy it.

As we dedicate ourselves to prioritizing our time, we quickly see where the things that bring us happiness and value. We see where what brings us value. As we reflect, you accept the offers I extended to you here today, and I gave you some ways to prioritize your time and what that might look like; there's a theme: remember to keep it simple. It doesn't have to be big or expensive. What matters is what you are doing and who you're doing it with, be dedicated, loyal, and fully present. By doing this, you will see what is truly valuable in our lives. Our time and money should not be spent doing anything with people who don't matter, things that don't bring us value, and things that won't bring us and those with us joy.

It's time to wake up, smell the roses, and engage with yourself. Often as parents, we find ourselves busy as heck. Between school, our jobs, extracurricular activities, chores, and managing everything that comes with the home, it's nearly 9/10 pm before we even begin to settle down the day. When we do, we are tired, we can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like a whole day slipped through our fingers. Where did the day go? Do you think back at the end of your day about how you missed out in one way or another when it came to your kids, partner, friends, and work and that you just missed the mark? Your mind may be in other places.

Let's take another trip down memory lane, as this week we revisit the amazing conversation with Erik The Peanut Guy! Erik helped us ring in the New Year as he joined us just shortly after 2023 began. Erik was such a joy to talk to, and I hope you enjoy revisiting the conversation with us. With a missed week and the holiday, 2 YDP Bangers in store for you guys, and we will resume season 3 the week of July 12 with a new release.
Today, we welcome Erik Mertens, better known as Carina's husband or Ed and Mary Jo Mertens's son OR, as I know him, MiLB royalty Erik the Peanut Guy.
Erik is a wholesome person, literally the definition of wholesome. A man of the community, honest and has one of the purest best vibes of anyone you will EVER meet. We were so happy and blessed he could join us. Erik takes the floor and talks about the significant impact his dad had on him as a person, a husband, and just a man of the community. We learn more about Ed's Fund and so much more. Erik and the brothers also offer some new husband advice.

The story's moral is to take the time to see your wins, celebrate them, and when you fail or fall short, forgive yourself and be patient. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and you will become the best version of yourself after a while. Trust me, I'm still working towards that version of me, I'm getting closer, but it's a lifelong path I'm on, and so are you. Continue to work towards your goals, create new ones, and never stop improving and becoming your best.

Eliminate the excuses of why you can't be the best teammate to all these people by questioning why you can't. Why not you? Why can't you do all these things? You give them freely already; why can't you significantly add a couple more layers if that improves the situation? Remember you have the support; you have the people there for you, use them rely on them, and start eliminating the excuses one by one and slowly to get to the end goal or whatever the excuses are keeping you from; it'll be more than worth it when you get through it all and end up on the other side of it all.
No more excuses; let's go!

I cannot say enough great things about Art Eddy, the host of The Art of Fatherhood podcast. Art is such a good dude, and sitting and talking with a guy who consistently interviews A-list fathers throughout pop culture, sports, and the business landscape is incredible. I was very blessed to have a great chat with him.
Art talks to dads about their fatherhood journey to learn what it's like from all walks of life. We all aren't that different in the end. We talked about being there for your family and how to show up and be present. We chatted about how listening and empathizing with our children is crucial to help them grow and learn in this life. Lastly, well, not 100%. Lastly, there was a lot in this show. We talked about how we can follow our gut as a dad. There are so many amazing nuggets in this show, and it's incredible; you will want to get comfy for this one.

Yes, we have an exciting episode on the dock today, as Jey and Aaron are back together with no guests for the first time since episode 20.
The brothers today gave some exciting life updates about the new family member, relationships, creative projects, and much more. The brothers talk a little about sports, politics, parenting, podcasting, etc.
The brothers gave so much gratitude and appreciation to you, the audience, for the support, love, shares, and listens, and just for everything!
We have so much more coming for you, some great guests, expanding our dad casting network, and in the future, merch and much more.

Part-6 of the WBDD, and we start by referencing piece number 2; if you recall, it was small steps. We threw out every notion of a magic pill, formula, and idea of an overnight change and quick fixes. What were doing with the WBDD is that we are finding tools, whether new or used, filling our tool bag up with them, and using them long-term. Today, we talk about some things we can do to help achieve that long-term mindset, which is a life-long mindset that helps us continue to use these tools to the best of our abilities for as long as we can use them.
We are so happy to promote the Well-Balanced Dad Diet; these are coming out during season 3 as BONUS content! You will want to jump on the WBDD train! You can check that out here on the site: https://www.ballboymedia.com/theballboyblog/categories/well-balanced-dad-diet

Life looks very different when you're a Stay at Home Dad or a S.A.H.D.. You can have feelings of a societal letdown, being left behind, and not living up to the expectations of being a man. We talk about life after a miscarriage for a dad, support groups for dads, dad groups, At Home Dad Con, and much more.
Brock grew up in Huntington, IN, and has lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, for the last 20+ years. Brock has been married for just over 16 years to your wife and two kids: a boy and a girl, one just finished 4th grade and one 1st grade; he is active in his church and Christian, and he organized and continues to run a dads group locally that has weekly and monthly hangouts, and is also a semi-avid cyclist as his schedule allows him to be.
What does it mean to be a dad to Brock? It means I have two mirrors walking around me, showing my insecurities and pushing me to be the best dad I can be, but they know I am not perfect, which makes life easier to be a parent.

When you woke up this morning, you got out of bed, let the dog out, went to the bathroom, and then looked in the mirror. Did you recognize the person looking back at you? Are you happy with the person that's looking back at you? I want to know, are you not forgiving yourself? Do you feel like you've lost sight of yourself, you don't have passions, that you're not enough, and you might even feel like you're not doing your best or even a good job? Lastly, how full are you if you were a cup of water? The likely answer is that if you're a parent and specifically a dad, it might be pretty empty, and you might not have anything to pour in your partner, kids, co-workers, or those you interact with daily cups because you're so empty and need a refill.

We could have talked about coaching the whole time, but we didn't, and we got into why you show up week after week after week. This week on the Young Dad Podcast, we welcome a friend of the show, Toby, aka The Good Bad Dad. Toby brings experience with kids from 17-7, adoption, biological children, sports, parenting in today's world, and much more. It was such a pleasure for him to embark his wisdom and knowledge on me and for all of you to hear and enjoy this week. I want to listen to this a couple of times.

You and I talk all day, every day. We talk to friends, family, partners, and kids at work, school, or whatever we do; we constantly use language in some form. Tone, diction, word choice, and how we say something are just as important as what those words mean. With it being 2023, parts of the language aren't used anymore, a new language has been introduced, and there are literal fights over language daily. However, when we consciously choose to use the language that will have the most impact, we are no longer talking but communicating.

1/2 marriages in the United States end in divorce. Your host Jey is happily divorced. As odd as that may sound to some, it was what was best for himself, his ex-wife, and his two beautiful girls. Today's guest, Erin Jones, founder/CEO of In-Mode Marketing and founder of the 'Divorcee Dish,' joined us this week on the show.
Erin and Jey talk about all sorts of things regarding divorce, what it might look like, and deep dive into what life after divorce looks like, from being forgotten by friends to swinging endlessly, single parenting, and much more. If you're divorced, buckle up. This episode is in your wheelhouse; it's excellent!

First, let me ask: where does your self-perception lay? Where are your expectations of your kids, where are your partner's expectations, where is your job's expectation, and where are your hobbies/interests? Where are the expectations of all other things you attach an expectation to? Are they too high, too low, or right where they need to be, or do they not need to be there?

Welcome back, we are into part two of the well-balanced dad diet, and today we will dive in and start filling our TOOL BAG with some small tools. You have to start somewhere, right? First and foremost, I want you and I to admit there is no magic pill or formula to being a dad, a parent, and an excellent partner to our significant other. We need to punch in a cheat code. There are no how-to guides on any of these things. If there was, wouldn't that be amazing?

My name is Jey, I'm the host of the Young Dad Podcast; and if you go back and listen to episode 21: Unstoppable Dad Diet, where we had Coach Matt Noonan on the Podcast, we started to laugh and joke about the well-balanced dad diet, however, after thinking on it for a couple of weeks, looking back at the conversations we have had with Single Dad Reboot Podcast, Brad from Baseball 2gether, Evan the Sturge Weber dad, Erik the Peanut Guy, Michael Soloway, Brig from Baseball 2gether, Jason from Safest Family of the Block Podcast I felt we had a place to start to construct the well-balanced dad diet. Now, I know what you're thinking. Is this going to be another one of those "ra ra, motivational pieces" I read everywhere that don't relate to me? The simple answer is no. The reason for that answer is that if you're a dad. You're setting out to read each of these pieces and listen to their accompanied podcast/video that goes with them, then obviously, you find a place that you can relate to, and you're curious, "what the heck is the well-balanced dad diet?" It's a 12-part (for now) series of changes, ideas, and challenges for you as a father to find some balance within the day-to-day craziness that is fatherhood.

I don't have enough great things to say about this episode. We welcomed our first female podcaster, a friend of the show, Dawn Brodey. Dawn is an actress, comedian, and historian and runs the fantastic HILF Podcast.
Dawn was an absolute delight to talk to. She is funny, witty, smart, intelligent, and DOWN TO EARTH. Dawn is a wife and mother, but that doesn't stop her from chasing her dreams and taking her daughter along the ride.
Dawn and Jey talk about the struggles of staying as your person through the transition to being married and becoming a parent and how you add that into your life and don't lose sight of yourself. There were more compliments and flattery, and Jey even got a little gushy over the woman who had all his attention.
Friendly reminder that this is an independent podcast, and we put the Explicit on each show with strong language. We also strive to use our platform for good.
Next week, we will take a one-week break to recharge our batteries and prepare to deliver season 3 of the Podcast. We have such amazing guests coming, and we are so excited to have quality conversations with them. We will be back with you on May 10th!

Today we got to chat with Kyle, aka the man/myth/legend behind Superhuman Fathers. Kyle is a husband of 20 years and has five children, he and his wife both run a successful coaching business, and the transformation they help mothers and fathers achieve is incredible.
Today we talk about the origin of Superhuman Fathers and how you can become one yourself. We also discuss some of the most common struggles and issues we familiar, nonsuperhuman fathers face daily. Lastly, we discuss finding balance with your partner and kids and getting fantastic advice.

This week, we welcome Brad. Brad goes by the 6 Figure Dad on IG, but in real life, Brad is one heck of a dude. Brad is first a husband and father to 3 under 5yo. He is also an author, coach, entrepreneur, and retired Green Beret with the US Army. We truly do thank him for his service and sacrifice for our country.
Brad says that if there is only Hawaiian pizza at a party, he will eat it cause you don't pass up pizza. With his odd taste in pizza, he also loves his farm, his three cows, and 12 chickens, among his other animals.
While Brad was in the military, he started his own business around fuel injectors, and at the beginning, it took a lot of time. We discussed his self-discipline and how he managed the time with his wife, and he shared some strategies to do it. Lastly, we ended with some wise words for you to listen to. You should stick around for this if you are also starting a new path.
You can find Brad on IG for free advice, coaching, and mentorship by going here: https://www.instagram.com/6figurestayathomedad/
You can also order his book: The Mental Qualification Course: The Principles, methods, and Techniques I Used to Go from Depressed, anxious loser to 1% of 1% and Beyond (and how you can too.)

Ball Boy Media Presents, another awesome episode of the Young Dad Podcast, we welcomed Brian Page from the Modern Husbands Podcast to the show. Today, little to our previous knowledge, we kicked off Financial Literacy Month with a man who was a personal finance/economics teacher for 15 years and was a personal consultant in the same industry.
Modern husband is precisely that, the modern spin on how you and I, as men, can redefine our value inside the home because it's not just connected to our jobs as the fantastic women in our lives are, in some cases bringing home the bacon.
We talked in depth about managing the relationship's finances, including pitching some new ideas for all to consider, how to have a practical insight into managing the money and home, healing from financial trauma, and finding ways to teach your kids financial literacy, and so much more.
You can find more of Brian @modernhusband on IG OR at the website: https://www.modernhusbands.com/; you can also find the Modern Husband Podcast here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2000968 and lastly, you can join me in signing up for the bi-monthly newsletter right here https://www.modernhusbands.com/newsletter.

Too easy, as our guest Daniel Simone, host of The Build Podcast, says as he joined our host Jey as they talked about everything from struggling with mental health, parenting, being a good partner, and much more. You can find Daniel on his Instagram @danielsimonefit
Daniel took us through his journey of depression that led him to have to choose what path he wanted to align himself with. He chose the path of healing, improving, and being someone he is proud to look at daily. From there, Daniel took the chance to share his story and knowledge and give that back to dads like you and me through coaching, fitness, and nutrition to help them get to the high version of themselves.
Daniel and Jey talk about doing your "P's," supporting your partner's dreams, speaking your partner's love language, not beating yourself up, and executing your blueprint daily.
We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did doing it.

Welcome one, welcome all, welcome to the Young Dad Podcast; we have a fantastic show for you today. The brothers today jump into some of the everyday issues that our kids and yours face.
Our kids are under tremendous pressure in school and every day of their lives. Our kids face stress in passing classes and confronting bullies. Being homesick, comparison, peer pressure, making friends, failure, bad teachers, competition, and so much more. What's crazy is that most of the brother's kids they talk about are in Kindergarten and 1st grade and face these stressful issues daily.
There is so much we can do to help our kids, but most of all, be present and show up when they need you. Teach them to be grateful, kind, compassionate, and empathetic humans who are for their peers on a human level. Support your kids all you can, and however, you can, with pure love and the best intentions.
Enjoy the show!

Yes, yes, you are enough. I promise. This week, we, unfortunately, weren't joined by A-A-Ron. However, that did not stop Jey from bringing on Little Brigy Blue Eyes, aka Brig from Baseball 2gether and creator of 9+us.
Brig and Jey opened the show with a spirited two-way debate about Gorillas, body parts for money, and living forever. You will want to take advantage of this intro.
Lastly, Jey and Brig hung out and talked before, as these two couldn't stop, and who could blame this? This conversation they had was seriously awesome.
Brig took us through his journey of growing up with privilege (which he checked, as we all should), military, injury, pregnancy, his wife's cancer, and eventual passing that left him a widower, his addiction, and his recovery and how that has all impacted him and made him into the amazing person that he is.
Again, you will want to see and hear all of this. Stay tuned till the end, as every piece of advice and wisdom was beautiful.

SURPRISE!
We told you on Wednesday that you would get a bonus this week for an episode. After a few minor delays, we finally made time for Michael Soloway, a man who never stops dreaming of the Podcast.
Michael has a heck of a journey to share with us and is a wealth of knowledge. Michael grew up knowing two things; he wanted to be an astronaut and have a daughter. Now, things sometimes go differently than planned, as Michael did work for NASA. However, he wasn't an astronaut. He then did have a daughter a little later in life at age 40.
Michael offers some fantastic advice for young dads, girls' dads, older dads, and dads in general that he has learned along his journey. We hope you enjoyed the time we had with Michael.

Hey there to all our unique listeners; today, we have an excellent short episode to kick off the shortest month of the year. Both the brothers were fighting through fevers, chills, and runny noses to make this happen for you today. Am I right? Have you got to love this time of the year?
To kick off how the brothers answer three quick questions from Twitter/IG. Find the link in the linktree below to follow and ask.
They then dive deep into self-love as it's almost Valentine's day, and you must love yourself every day for the rest of your life. You can do it.
The two talk about having a clear picture of self and forgiveness toward self and others, and Jey tells us about the four elements of Forgiveness therapy.
The two wrap up with some kind words, RIP Kobe, and tease out something extraordinary for later this week.

All right, I promise you to want to catch this episode. So much advice, inspiration, laughs, and embarrassment. Let me break it down for you.
Greetings, it's Wednesday, which is time for a new episode. The brothers today started with an overrated/underrated talking about:
- Having siblings.
- Bucket hats (cool dad hat).
- Recording concerts/live events with your phone camera and going to brunch.
Honestly, you'll love the first segment.
Next, the bros got into an exciting discussion on balance. As you know, the Young Dad Pod preaches balance in every aspect of life. They got into finding balance with Work, Relationships, Kids, and Self. Wow, that was inspiring.
Now we get into something for the parents out there, the STRUGGLES! We have all of them, but the brothers talked about 4 of the most common ones that Jey could find among us.
- Saying "No"
- The Endless Concern
- Letting your kids fail
- Am I doing a good enough job?
Jey ended this show portion with a great quote from soon-to-be guest Brig from Baseball 2gether.
Lastly, a new segment! You will have to listen to fully experience how funny Drunk Spelling Bee indeed was.

Welcome to another great episode of the Young Dad Podcast; we are happy to be with you again. Today, we welcome Erik Mertens, better known as Carina's husband or Ed and Mary Jo Mertens's son OR, as I know him, MiLB royalty Erik the Peanut Guy.
Erik is a wholesome person, literally the definition of wholesome. A man of the community, honest and has one of the purest best vibes of anyone you will EVER meet. We were so happy and blessed he could join us.
Erik and the brothers did a tremendous 3-way debate to open the show from seasons to space and sea to the time of day of a baseball game. We also find out that both Erik and Aaron are megalohydrothalassophobics (fear of large underwater creatures or objects)
Sidebar: the score of the pineapple on Pizza is now 4-2-1, with Erik's wife siding with Jey and Erik being a neutral tie.
Erik then takes the floor and talks about the significant impact his dad had on him as a person, a husband, and just a man of the community. We learn more about Ed's Fund and so much more. Erik and the brothers also offer some new husband advice.
Lastly, the three did a ballpark food draft that ended as follows.
Erik: Hotdog, Souvenir Soda w/ Coke, Kettle Corn, Mini-Helmet Ice Cream
Jey: Garlic Fries(Tmobile Park), Popcorn, Nachos, Sno Cones
Aaron: Chicken Fingers(Dodger Stadium), Peanuts, Gelato, Burger Sliders

Happy New Year, and welcome into the show today and welcome in 2023. We are so excited for such a great year ahead filled with many guests, excellent content, laughs, and tears to be shed.
The brothers are back to kick off the New Year with you. They start talking about what they are leaving behind in 2022 and NOT bringing it into 2023. Leave last year in last year, am I right?
Next, the guys get into tips and tricks to help you meet your fitness, health, and body goals. Then how to help you improve your relationship with kids, spouse, friends, and family. They gave even more advice on helping you improve your financial situation and, lastly, your mental and emotional health. Remember, it ain't weak to speak.
Last, the brothers give you some high quality would you rather, some shameless answers, and a new motto for 2023. #Shameless2023

Welcome to the Young Dad Podcast; we hope you are doing well today. We have a short Let's Talk with Jey today. Let's Talk is the "mini" version of the Young Dad Podcast, where we explore topics in a little more depth with Jey.
Today on the show, Jey dives into some New Year This or That, and some of the answers may surprise you about him. While others will say, "yep, that sounds about right for Jey. I'm the same way."
Next, every year we learn a lot about ourselves personally, as a partner, as a parent, and just about life in general. They do say, "another year older, another year wiser." Jey drops some of the things he learned about himself as a partner and what he learned about life in 2022.
Lastly, Jey drops some New Dad advice, which, honestly, the first-hand perspective is something better than what isn't written in any book since there are no books for new dads. Jey's most significant advice is to be present, be active, and be patient with yourself. You got this!
We will be back in 2023 with new guests, new perspectives, and the same love and excitement to be with you every week. Have a happy and safe New Year.

Greetings from 'Down Unda' on this show's episode, the brothers welcome Evan, whose princess has the rare and uncommon Sturge Weber Syndrome. Evan joins the show from Australia and takes us along his journey as a dad with a daughter with a disability. Please note: this episode does have adult language, not used for harm and may not be for everyone.
Before these three blokes get too far into the discussion on Sturge Weber, they do a themed 3-way debate about spiders, tarantulas, Pizza, and soccer or rugby. It's worth noting, Jey forgets to ask Evan if he likes Pineapple on Pizza; he indeed does. That makes the score 3-2, and A-A-Ron is no longer alone.
Evan then takes us on the journey through life with his princess from the beginning, the ups and downs, the good and evil, and what it has been like for him and his partner.
Lastly, the three yanks wrap up by drafting their favorite "American" sayings. If you laugh harder than Jey, leave a comment, please.
What did you learn today? Please let us know in the comments who won the draft and what you learned today.
Don't forget their invite to you on last week's episode: spread love, cheer, and help someone in need this season. Put one can of food in the bin at the store, grab a $5 toy and donate it, pick a name off the giving tree and give, or whatever you can do to do it.

We made it to Episode 10! This episode is a massive milestone for us as of an April 2021 study. "According to Amplifi and Podnews, 44% of the podcasts have less than three episodes! Only 720k podcasts have more than ten episodes. While the remaining 720K, 90% will quit after 20." We aren't quitting, and we love being here with you! Thanks for choosing to listen to us!
Today on the Pod, the brothers do some fun Holiday, would you rather, and Jey squeezes in a few "holi-dad" jokes throughout the episode. Don't worry; you don't have to laugh. The live studio audience that isn't paid does laugh for some reason.
Next, the brothers get how hard it can be to communicate with your partner, kids, friends and family, and extended family this year; listen as they give some tips and tricks on the subject.
The episode got even better as they talked about the wild and crazy ride of being the "young" parents of the group has been for them. Jey was 22 when he had his first kid, and Aaron was 19, almost 20. Spoiler: neither of them would change a thing.
Lastly, they end with light-hearted situations, from talking to a mannequin to telling someone they're a problem. Make sure you comment and tell us what you would do in each situation.
Don't forget their invite to you: spread some love, cheer, and help someone in need this season. Put one can of food in the bin at the store, grab a $5 toy and donate it, pick a name off the giving tree and give, or whatever you can do to do it.

Welcome to today's Let's Talk mini-spin-off of the Young Dad Pod; I'm your host Jey as always. We have a short, fun episode for you today. I got five fantastic Would You Rather questions from my five-year-old. A couple of these will make you think they did for me.
Next, Jey gives the parents some advice about making the Holidays more remarkable for their kiddos. He then gives all the people with families some heartfelt advice; the moral of the story is don't judge others; you don't know what someone else is going through, be kind and be present. Lastly, Jey gives some simple yet helpful advice on surviving the holidays with your significant other while not losing sight of your relationship.

Back again! Thanks for listening today; we so appreciate it. We hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving, and thanks for listening to this as you cook. Trust me, trust me, don't be afraid to add a little more butter to that turkey.
This week we had a blast talking about Thanksgiving Traditions. Jey had to dig DEEP for the cause. Five concussions will do that to you. We then started talking about giving cause Tis the season. The discussion on giving was more than about money; it was about time, love, forgiveness, patience, and much more.
For the parents and caregivers, we talked about teaching giving cause we want our kids to be good people, and giving is part of the equation. Kids have such huge hearts; teach them to share that pure, kind, authentic love throughout their lives.
Lastly, were you able to guess that character? If you did! Excellent, if not, don't worry; you will get answers!

Welcome to the Young Dad Pod; we welcome Black Jack Brad onto the show today. Brad is the Co-host of Baseball Together and Seattle Baseball Together. Baseball is a passion of Brad's, and so is being a dad and a great friend of the show.
Today we debate between Peanut Butter and Nutella, Barefoot Always, Instagram Famous, or Tik Tok Famous, and the answers will surprise you. Lastly, find out if Brad is on team pineapple on Pizza.
Next, we discuss what it's been like for Brad to have a child on the spectrum and how that's changed him as a dad. What has that been like for their relationship with his wife, son, and himself? It's an enlightening, educational, and bomb.com discussion, and honestly, it changed my perspective on how I interact daily with my kids. Let's say you embrace being a dad and go all in; it's your new norm.
Lastly, we end with a particular draft for Stella, the show's star today. We do a Fisher Price branded Toy Draft, and let's say I think that Brad might have done some cooperation to win.
Brad: Little People Animals, Frozen Castle, Grocery Basket, Ice Cream Cart
Aaron: Buggy, Playhouse, T-ball Set, Corn Popper
Jey: Teaching Clock, Food Truck, Kitchen, Fish Set

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Young Dad Pod. Today, Jey and Aaron talk about some of their irrational fears to help you feel like you're not the only that has them. Honestly, Jey's are pretty ridiculous. You can laugh; it's okay.
Then some technical difficulties arise during a conversation on self. Self-accountability, self-responsibility, ownership of your heart, mind, and feelings, and realizing YOU are your problem.
We then get some life advice from the brothers on what they would go back and tell themselves in dark moments and some of the most exciting moments of their lives to date. We also learn more about Jey and some of his struggles with intrusive thoughts.
Lastly, you're taken live on the scene as the brothers have boots on the ground and take you through some of the most outlandish headlines from the world around you. Those dang squirrels!

This week, Jey hosts a Let's Talk about Movember, why he loves it, and why you should. Jey tells you his story of mental health struggles and why we should care about our fellow bros. Listener caution, there are a couple F-bombs.
Men's suicide is at a record high as there are 5x more male suicide victims than females. One minute of every day, a man commits suicide. The most common cancer is testicular cancer; African-Americans are 2x as likely to get prostate cancer.
