Skipping School and Beyond with Dr. Joren Whitley

This week on If You Give A Dad A Podcast, Jared reconnects with one of his very first guests and one of his oldest friends — Dr. Joren Whitley. Their friendship began in high school after skipping PE for a Sonic run, and years later they sit down to talk about everything that followed: anime, life lessons, travel, viral fame, and the challenges that come with public attention. Joren opens up about his professional journey, navigating online criticism, and staying true to himself while his work reached a global audience. The conversation blends humor, honesty, and nostalgia, including stories from their early friendship and a surprising behind-the-scenes tale connected to Tiger King. A candid conversation about loyalty, growth, and the unexpected paths life can take.   To follow todays guest: https://linktr.ee/oklahomachiro    ======================== Podcast Networks:   Zeo to Hero Podcast Network: https://zeotohero.com/    3 Ranger Bros Studios: https://linktr.ee/the3rangerbrosstudios     ========================   Stickers By Stasha: https://linktr.ee/stickersbystasha       ==========================================   If You Give A Dad A YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@IfYouGiveADadAYoutubeCha-uw7zm     If You Give A Dad A Cosplay: https://www.youtube.com/@IfyougiveadadaCosplay-nl9hc   ========================= musical credits for show:     Intro theme sampled from: https://pixabay.com/music    (find whole song there)         Outro music by: D.Cure Produced by: tunnA Beatz If you enjoy his music, be sure to check out his website as well! www.dcurehiphop.com        ===========================     Linktree to follow me: http://linktr.ee/Giveadadapodcast
