Dadville with Dave Barnes and Jon McLaughlin

Gather 'round  friends. This week the fellas are joined by a trio of fathers. Buddy Burks, Micah Kandros, and Matt Lehman share stories about how they are exploring the idea of fatherhood, why you should be just a bit more careful when tossing your kid into the air, and dealing with the best (and worst) parts of daily dad life.

We are lucky to have Miles Adcox return to Dadville. When we first welcomed Miles, he was a new dad, and that appearance was so transformative for Miles he decided to have another child. Miles' list of occupations is a mile long (dad joke), but his work with emotional wellness is significant. Listen in as he gives tangible advice that can help anyone to better understand their emotions and communicate with others. Thanks to our sponsors!

Barrett Ward is one of the most fashionable guests we’ve ever had. Not because of his keen sense of style, but more because of the work he does with ABLE, which is an incredible lifestyle brand that aims to end generational poverty. Dig is as he discusses his time living in Ethiopia, his early years in Indiana, and how to turn work off when he gets home.  Thanks to our sponsors!
