What is Ambitious Dads?
Fatherhood cracked me open in ways I never expected โ and showed me how unprepared most of us are for the emotional work it demands. After learning I couldnโt be a biological father, I wrestled early with the fear that I might screw up my kids before they even existed โ a feeling every dad, in one way or another, eventually comes to know. The Ambitious Dads Podcast is where we stop winging it and start talking โ about balancing endless competing priorities like work, kids, partners (sex โ yeah, right!), self-care, and finances; about the emotions that hit daily โ guilt, stress, fear, fatigue, love โ and about the quiet doubts that keep us up at night. Weโll get vulnerable. Weโll get honest. And yes, weโll end every episode with a ridiculous poop story, because if fatherhood teaches you anything, itโs how to laugh while cleaning up disasters.
