Meet the Dad Squad

Ten million dollars makes a great cold open, but it’s a terrible life compass. After Beast Games, we end up with something we didn’t expect: real friendship, a reason to keep talking, and a dad podcast built on brotherhood, mission, and legacy. We joke like idiots, but we don’t dodge the hard stuff, because fatherhood doesn’t let you stay on the surface for long.Jordan shares how he walked away from the “safe” corporate script, built a travel driven life with his wife, and started raising kids who see the world as an option, not a limit. We get into worldschooling, helping kids become flexible, and even the practical realities of family travel like jet lag and why landing at night can save your week. If you care about parenting advice that actually works in real life, the thread is simple: routines matter, but breaking them on purpose can create the core memories your kids carry forever.Jeff brings the heart of the episode with his story as a rare disease dad, including his son’s creatine transporter deficiency diagnosis and the daily choices that come with special needs parenting. We talk about sibling emotions, missed moments, prayer, and the kind of “wins” other families might overlook but feel massive when your baseline is uncertainty. John adds a leadership lens and a hot take that sparks debate: work life balance can be a trap, especially as AI changes what work even is. He offers a clear three step plan to start getting fluent with AI using Claude, so fear turns into curiosity and action.If this conversation hits home, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with a dad who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest hot take or the small moment that meant everything to you.Support the show
