Conversations with (and for) dads from a dad who needs all the help he can get. Let's learn about the world by talking to fathers and experts about things they know really well. What kind of knowledge do our friends have that we haven't tapped? What can we learn from those around us to improve ourselves and help us raise great kids?

God Girls Podcast - preview and interview
Hi everyone! Just a quick one for you today to tell you about God Girls Podcast, a new show by my daughter Sadie (11) and my niece Rachel (12). They wanted to make a show about their faith and other things on the minds of young women. They did it all on their own (OK, I'm helping with the boring...

18 - Caitlin Pontrella - Parkour: much more than backflips and jumping off high stuff
Today we dig into Parkour. I started training nearly 7 years ago with Parkour Visions, an organization here in Seattle. Since then PKV (as we abbreviate their name) has shifted from running a gym to focusing on bringing parkour to new communities, particularly undeserved schools in the Seattle...

17 - Dad Roundtable - What should we do about school in a pandemic?
I've been meaning to bring on a group of dads I respect for a roundtable discussion for quite some time. The dads in our neighborhood have been weighing what to do about school in the fall (All week in-person? Hybrid? Virtual?) so we thought a fun, honest and respectful discussion on the topic...

13 - Steve Strange - Star Wars, Fandom, Kids and Star Wars
Fun one with my best buddy, Steve Strange. We had to do a do-over of our original discussion due to a tech snafu (which we discuss in our chat) but I think this came out better than that one. Ostensibly the idea here is fandom: is it OK to force what you like on your kids? How do you know if the...

12 - Bryan Tomlinson - Coaching youth sports, how to be a better sports parent and UW football
Fun (and much-delayed) discussion with Bryan Tomlinson today. We discuss what he's learned from many rounds of coaching kids (including coaching his own kids), how to be a better parent of a little athlete, etc. Speaking of, I wanted to plug BT's charity that we didn't have time to get to on the...

A little extra treat for you: a 12-minute simple breathing meditation by our previous guest, Charles Morris. Please note that listening to this while driving or doing any task needing your attention is not a good idea. But if you're interested in trying meditation, find a comfy chair in a quiet...

Shawn Macfarlan is a fairly new buddy of mine from our neighborhood. We were extremely lucky to meet a few other families that all had daughters the same ages as our girls and, even more luckily, they're all great people (I'll be interviewing all of the dads at some point). Shawn is a father of...
