  Josh Iadarola - From Divorce To A Blended Family That Is Thriving

  Aug 20, 20261h 1mS7

  Send us Fan Mail Thank you, Shannon Steadman, for making today's episode possible!!! Your kids won’t remember your job title, but they’ll remember whether you were there. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with Josh Iadarola, a dad who has lived the hard parts of fatherhood and kept showing up anyway. We start with gratitude and get honest about mental health, anxiety, and the quiet pressure so many dads carry. Josh shares what he’s most grateful for as a father, why mental well-being deserves as much attention as physical health, and how vulnerability can become a strength instead of a liability. We also talk about the values he learned growing up in a tight family routine: consistency, discipline, respect, and a work ethic modeled through sacrifice. Then we go deeper into divorce, co-parenting, and the grit required to stay present when life gets complicated. Josh opens up about the commitment he made to his son, the emotional reality of Sunday drop-offs, and what it means to create a positive home even when you’re hurting. From there, we shift into blended family life and “bonus kids,” what helped him build trust quickly, and why he sees a bigger family as more love, not more problems. Along the way, we hit practical leadership lessons for the home: respond instead of react, apologize when you miss, and parent each child as an individual with their own needs. We also spotlight Josh’s professional world at CoWorx Staffing Services and how they think about staffing, retention, safety, and employee engagement through a service-first model. If you’re a working dad trying to lead with humility, curiosity, and steadiness, you’ll get plenty to take back to your own household.

  Dave Welty - Learn To Take A Breath And Be The Dad They Trust

  Aug 13, 20261h 14mS7

  Send us Fan Mail A dad can do a lot of things “right” and still miss the point. This conversation with Dave Welty hit me because he doesn’t talk about fatherhood like a performance; he talks about it like a practice: show up, mean what you say, and take a breath when your kid is having a rough day. Dave Welty is the CEO and founder of Avier Wealth Advisors, a long-running wealth advisory firm in Bellevue, Washington. However, what stood out most was his honesty about the moments that shaped him as a parent, from growing up with serious financial stress to learning, in real time, how to connect with two sons who are wired completely differently. We dig into what it looks like to support a kid without trying to control the story. Dave shares how his younger son, adopted from Guatemala, found joy and identity through live music, and how a simple daily routine during COVID turned into real trust and confidence. We also talk about youth sports and the pressure cooker it can become for families, including the moment Dave’s son called him out for sideline coaching. Instead of doubling down, Dave listened and changed, and that shift is a blueprint for any parent trying to lead with humility. You’ll also hear Dave’s perspective on resilience and values: why your word matters, why presence matters more than perfection, and why opportunity is not evenly distributed. We even get into the leadership side of his work, including building a more diverse team on purpose and creating an environment where clients can feel seen and safe. If you care about fatherhood, parenting mindset, adoption, youth sports parenting, and leadership at home, this one stays with you.

  Mark Krajnik - A CEO Dad’s Playbook For Gratitude And Emotional Intelligence

  Aug 6, 20261h 14mS7

  Send us Fan Mail A lot of dads want to be more patient, more present, and more consistent, but “try harder” is not a plan. Mark Krajnik brings something better: a repeatable mindset that starts with gratitude, grows through emotional intelligence, and shows up as real leadership at home. Mark is the CEO of Performance Mindset Associates and the author of The Transformation Tree, a story designed to help kids and adults recognize the “worry weeds” like doubt, envy, blame, jealousy, and negative self-talk, then replace them with curiosity, kindness, generosity, and a positive mental attitude. We also get into the kind of resilience you cannot fake. Mark shares a gripping story from his teenage years when a freak accident nearly cost him his arm and a doctor told him he would never play football again. The comeback is about persistence, humility, and poise under pressure, and it connects directly to fatherhood: how you respond when life punches first, how you ask for help, and how you stay part of the team even when your role changes. Casey adds his own injury story and the leadership lesson of vulnerability, purpose, and choosing growth over bitterness. From there, the conversation turns into practical parenting and marriage advice: showing up for your kids, building traditions that stick, listening instead of just hearing, and having the courage to ask your daughter for real feedback. We talk empty nest emotions, dating your spouse, and why the best “quarterback of the home” mindset is calm, coachable, and human.

  Korey Cutlip - A Better Dad Starts With Saying Yes

  Jul 30, 20261h 6mS7

  Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to miss your kids’ childhood is to keep telling yourself you’ll show up more “when work slows down.” Casey sits down with Korey Cutlip to talk about the moment Korey flipped the switch to become a “Yes Dad,” and what that actually looks like when you’re juggling a marriage, three kids in different life stages, and a demanding job. We get specific about time, trade-offs, and why those small “yes” decisions become the memories your kids carry into adulthood. Korey opens up about the values he learned growing up, what he had to relearn as an adult, and why counseling can be one of the strongest moves a dad makes. We dig into humility, honesty, people-pleasing, and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in family dynamics or unsure how to lead at home without letting ego run the show, this conversation offers real fatherhood advice you can use right away. We also follow Korey’s career change story from the service industry to construction to buying Regal Auto Care in Auburn, Washington. It’s a masterclass in belief, customer service, and telling people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. You’ll hear practical leadership takeaways, mindset anchors like “Best Day Ever,” and simple ways to build confident kids without letting comparison steal the joy.

  Michael Osborne - Leading Your Home With Curiosity And Grace

  Jul 23, 20261h 1mS7

  Send us Fan Mail Thank you, Jule Salem, for referring our next amazing guest, Michael Osborne. Fatherhood doesn’t come with a manual, and the hardest parts usually aren’t the big moments. They’re the small, everyday choices: how we react when we’re tired, how we repair after we snap, and whether we can slow down long enough to actually enjoy the people we’re working so hard for. I sit down with Michael Osborne, who is a Signal & Webby Award-winning podcast host/producer and the founder of 14th Street Studios in Austin. He is also the host of the Famous and Gravy podcast, and he sits down with me to talk about gratitude, marriage, and raising kids with curiosity. Michael shares what he’s most grateful for as a dad right now: a flexible schedule that gives him real, unstructured time with his kids, especially outdoors. We get into what it takes to build a strong partnership with your spouse, including learning how to fight in a healthier way and checking in often so you stay aligned on parenting. Michael also takes us back to growing up in Austin, the pull of rebellion, and a turning point that reshaped his life: a gap year that included a three-month wilderness immersion in Patagonia. We connect that experience to parenting today, from building confidence and resilience to creating meaningful time without forcing our own expectations onto our kids. We also talk honestly about emotional reactions, self-judgment, fear that “loves to hide,” and why accountability and a simple apology can change the temperature in your home. If you’re looking for a fatherhood podcast focused on leadership at home, parenting values, emotional regulation, curiosity, and raising resilient kids, you’ll take something practical from this conversation.
