  • From Strategy to Soul Work — with Matt Wilson

    What happens when you've got the dream job, the big title, and the freedom to live anywhere — but your soul starts to die?

     

    In this episode of the Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with Matt Wilson, former venture capital partner turned executive coach for FinTech CEOs, to explore how letting go of a “perfect-on-paper” life led him to rediscover what truly lights him up.

     

    From leading in the military and scaling startups to walking away from it all in search of deeper meaning, Matt shares a vulnerable and powerful story of realignment — from strategy to soul work.

     

    -> Why success can still leave you feeling stuck

    -> The difference between zone of excellence and zone of genius
    -> How emotional clarity leads to better leadership
    -> What most high-performers are missing when they play it “safe”
    -> Parenting lessons on talent, effort, and how to help kids thrive

     

    This conversation is a must-listen for any dad or coach who's ever wondered if there's more — and how to find the courage to go after it.

     

    Enjoy!

  • “Mindful Fatherhood & Self-Trust” — with Steve Toelupe

    What does it look like to parent and lead from a place of deep inner awareness?

    In this episode of the Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with coach, mindfulness practitioner, and father of two, Steve Toelupe. Steve became a dad at 21, and that moment changed everything — sparking a lifelong journey of self-coaching, early childhood education, and helping others find clarity, purpose, and peace.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    -> How fatherhood helped Steve break patterns of dysfunction
    -> Why mindfulness is the foundation for emotional healing
    -> A 3-part coaching model: Clarity, Obstacles, and Character
    -> The power of slowing down and parenting at your child’s pace
    -> Why self-care leads to self-love… which leads to self-trust

    Steve brings a calm presence, a deep well of lived wisdom, and a beautiful reminder that your true nature is love — and you’re already enough.

    Enjoy :)

    How do you really heal from childhood trauma and start feeling like you're enough — just as you are?

    In this episode of the Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with mindset coach and podcast host Joel Dimond, who brings raw honesty, lived experience, and spiritual insight to the table.

    Joel shares his journey from new dad and delivery driver, through a mental health crisis and bipolar diagnosis, to becoming a powerful guide for others navigating trauma, anxiety, and inner child work.

    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • What triggered Joel’s diagnosis — and how he turned it into purpose

    • How stillness and self-inquiry helped him meet his inner child

    • Why trauma is relative and how every human carries it

    • Parenting lessons that help you rewrite your own story as you raise your kids

    • "Who Do You Want to Be Today?" — with Jeff Mull

      What if the most important question you asked yourself each morning wasn’t what you need to do, but who you want to be?

      In this episode of The Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with Jeff Mull—a leadership, life, and marriage coach who helps people take ownership of their lives by shifting from a mindset of default to one of intentionality.

      We talk about:

      ✔️ The difference between doing and being—and how identity is often unknowingly tied to achievement
      ✔️ How to catch yourself in the heat of an argument and return to presence and love
      ✔️ The power of listening (really listening) in marriage
      ✔️ The importance of exploring childhood constructs that limit adult potential
      ✔️ Why pre-marriage coaching might be the best investment couples ever make

      Jeff’s story, especially witnessing his parents separate and later reunite, fuels his deep belief in what’s possible—for relationships, leadership, and life.

      Huge thanks to Jeff Mull for bringing so much heart, humility, and wisdom to this conversation. 🙌

    • Faith Over Fear - with Chuck Keller

      In this episode of The Dads Who Coach Podcast, we sit down with Chuck Keller, a Christian life coach dedicated to helping men and women overcome fear, doubt, and insecurity so they can lead lives filled with clarity, confidence, faith, and purpose.

      Chuck’s journey from a long-term sales career to coaching wasn’t a straightforward one—it required faith, resilience, and a deep understanding of personal values.

      ✅ How to distinguish between core values (who you are today) and aspirational values (who you are becoming).
      ✅ Practical exercises to uncover your most important values and align them with your goals.
