9 MAY 2024 · In December 2022, I was at my heaviest and unhealthiest weight I'd ever been at. At least 5 or 6 times in my adult life I had lost 20-30 pounds, only to put it back on. I wanted to do it different this time. I wanted to build a lifestyle I could consistently stick with for the rest of my life. So I dropped the weight again, and lost 30 pounds. But this time it was slower -- 12 months instead of 3 months -- and I'm better for it. I'm confident I've built a healthier lifestyle I can stick with. Why are we talking about this on a podcast aimed at dads? Because if you're a father or husband, you have a family that's counting on you to be your best. A wife that wants her husband around for the long haul. Kids that want to wrestle with their dad. And friends, employees, coworkers, and a community that's counting on you. You can't bring your best if you aren't at your best. Being physically fit as a dad isn't for vanity; it allows us to perform at our maximum output for a longer duration. So let's talk about it.

2 MAY 2024 · The world is full of things out of our control. My favorite sports team losing is a constant reminder of that.

25 APR 2024 · Look... we've all heard it. We may have even participated in it. It sadly feels inevitable if you get a group of men or women together. Someone is going to start complaining about their spouse. Nitpicking, gossiping, complaining, going on and on. It almost seems like a given.  But what if these small, seemingly innocent conversations were actually more harmful than we believed. If our words have power and what we focus on is what we see, then talking trash about our spouse behind their back can't have a fruitful outcome, can it? Let's talk about it.

11 APR 2024 · You've probably heard the saying "Marriage isn't 50/50, it's 100/100). While the heart behind it is good, both sayings have merit, but neither fully embodies what a healthy marriage looks like.

4 APR 2024 · Society has gotten it twisted lately. Somehow, going above and beyond for your lady to make sure she's loved, appreciated, and taken care of is seen as soft, unmanly, and characteristic of being a "simp." Stop trippin! In my experience, loving one woman well and committing to her for life is the manliest thing you can do. Boys play games; men set an example. If you want to be a king in your home, you better treat your wife like a queen! Kicks and Minivans is the podcast for dads... especially the ones who love sneakers.

28 FEB 2024 · If you were to list out all the attributes you'd want in a partner, would patience make the list? Truthfully, it's not one we think of often, BUT it is painfully apparent when you're dealing with an impatient person.
