“Too often we underestimate the power of a kind word or listening ear.” – Leo Buscaglia

In this episode, Logan and Tyson welcome Jessie Hansen back to the show. Jessie is the founder of Kindest Kid in the World, a program built around teaching kids kindness, resilience, and leadership through service and self-awareness.

Jessie shares more of her personal story—from growing up with trauma, bullying, and body dysmorphia to eventually becoming a social worker, educator, and founder of a global kindness initiative. She explains how pain often creates what she calls the “hate cycle,” where hurt people unintentionally pass that hurt on to others, and why breaking that cycle has to start with how we teach kids to understand themselves and each other.

The conversation explores the importance of giving children healthy coping tools, modeling emotional repair and boundaries as parents, and helping kids discover purpose through acts of service and kindness. Jessie also shares the growing impact of the Kindest Kid program, including new outreach efforts around the world and the ways families can nominate children to be recognized through the program.

This episode is a reminder that kindness isn’t weakness—it’s leadership. And when kids learn how to handle pain in healthy ways, they grow into adults who make the world better instead of harder.

“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but connection.” – Johann Hari

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Gina Oliverson, founder of the Stay Mentally Strong Foundation, for a deeply emotional and important conversation about men’s mental health, suicide awareness, and the struggles many men carry in silence.

Gina shares the story of her late husband Sean, a high-achieving man who battled with perfectionism, and internal pressure that very few people around him truly understood. His struggle ultimately led to tragedy, and Gina opens up about the reality of what it’s like for the family left behind—and why these conversations need to happen before it’s too late.

Together, they talk about the warning signs men often show without saying a word, how the pressure we are under can quietly destroy mental health, and why so many men feel like they have to hold everything together instead of asking for help.

Gina also shares what she’s learned since starting the Stay Mentally Strong Foundation, including the importance of brotherhood, therapy, emotional intelligence, and creating spaces where men feel safe enough to be honest.

This episode is heavy, but it’s also hopeful. It’s about learning to recognize the signs, having the hard conversations, and making sure the people in our lives know they don’t have to carry everything alone.

If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone. These conversations save lives.

“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but connection.” – Johann Hari

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Dana Christian Lee and Jason Reid from the organization Tell My Story to talk about the growing mental health crisis facing kids and teens today—and what families can actually do about it.

Jason shares the heartbreaking and deeply personal story of losing his youngest son to suicide in 2018, a tragedy that reshaped his life and ignited a mission to bring real mental health conversations into homes that often avoid them. Dana, the executive director of Tell My Story, adds her perspective from years of working with youth, families, and communities—helping unpack why so many kids struggle silently and what meaningful connection really looks like.

The conversation covers the realities many parents don’t see: how common anxiety and depression have become, why kids often feel like a burden instead of asking for help, and how today’s digital world—especially unrestricted phones, social media, and algorithms—can quietly amplify those struggles. They also talk about practical ways families can build trust, communication, and emotional safety, including tools like the Tell My Story card game, and why creativity, purpose, and learning to do hard things matter so much for a young person’s mental health.

This is an honest, emotional, and ultimately hopeful conversation about loss, parenting, connection, and what each of us can do right now to change the mental health narrative for the next generation.

If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone. Sometimes one conversation really can save a life.

“You do not rise to the level your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” – James Clear

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Ryan Pineda—entrepreneur, real estate investor, content creator, and host known for helping people build wealth and take control of their financial future.

Ryan shares the real story behind his success, from the early grind and lessons learned the hard way to building multiple businesses and a platform that reaches millions. The conversation goes beyond money, diving into mindset, discipline, faith, and the responsibility that comes with success—especially as a husband, father, and leader.

They talk about what it actually takes to win in business today, why most people stay stuck, and how consistency, systems, and personal growth matter far more than shortcuts or hype. Ryan also opens up about balancing ambition with family life and staying grounded while chasing big goals.

This episode is about building something meaningful—not just financially, but personally—and why the right mindset can change everything.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung

In one of the deepest conversations yet, Logan and Tyson sit down with Clayne Edward Wayman, a friend they met during the Belize retreat whose life story challenges everything most people think they understand about faith, identity, and rebuilding from nothing.

Clayne opens up about growing up in a polygamist community, raised on a small family farm with four mothers and 45 siblings. He shares how leaving wasn’t simply walking away from religion — it meant leaving behind an entire way of life, community, and belief system. The decision came after nearly a decade of internal struggle, and as he left, religious leadership warned him to “consider that the devil has won for you.”

Instead of falling into self-destruction, Clayne explains how he grounded himself in structure, accountability, and a philosophy he calls “the garden” — a way of living rooted in natural law, responsibility, and consciously cultivating the life you want to grow.

The conversation moves into Clayne’s profound spiritual journey, including traveling alone into the Amazon jungle to work with indigenous Shipibo shamans and participating in over 100 Ayahuasca ceremonies. He shares how these experiences helped him confront shame, guilt, trauma, and deep questions about consciousness, death, and the soul.

This episode explores masculinity, deprogramming belief systems, spiritual healing, and the courage required to question everything you’ve ever known in order to build a life that feels honest and intentional.

“You don’t rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” – James Clear

In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with longtime friend Ian Weber, a hard-working family man who recently competed on Beast Games Season 2 on Amazon Prime—and walked away having won an island valued at $1.8 million, which he ultimately cashed out and brought home to his family.

Ian pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like competing in one of the wildest game shows ever created. He talks candidly about the behind-the-scenes reality of alliances, strategy, pressure, and competition, and what happens when you’re staring down truly life-changing money while trying to stay grounded and true to who you are.

Beyond the show, this episode dives into Ian’s mindset. From owning his own ninja gym, competing on American Ninja Warrior, and training his body for over a decade, Ian explains how staying physically prepared translates directly into being ready for opportunities in life—as a husband, a father, and a man.

This is a conversation about discipline, preparation, humility, and why taking care of both your physical and mental health isn’t optional if you want to show up when it matters most. Ian’s story is proof that overnight success is usually the result of years of unseen work—and that when opportunity finally shows up, being ready is everything.

In this episode of Dad Bods and Beards, we sit down with Jessie Hansen, a kindness advocate, author, and doctoral student in social work whose research focuses on school violence prevention.Jesse shares how her work is rooted in both science and lived experience — including the loss of her voice teacher to domestic violence — and why she believes violence isn’t simple, but kindness can still be a powerful solution.The conversation explores why hate is learned, how violence can be contagious, and why kindness may be just as contagious — if we make it visible, celebrated, and “cool.” Jesse explains her Kindest Kid program, which turns real acts of kindness into children’s books and school assemblies that publicly honor kids for choosing compassion.The episode also dives into:The science of kindness and how it shifts brain chemistryWhy kids often act out most at home — where they feel safestHow to break generational parenting cyclesWhy kindness is not weakness, but real strength and healthy masculinityWhy no parent or child is ever “too far gone” to changeIf you’re a parent, educator, or anyone concerned about the state of the world our kids are growing up in, this conversation offers both hope and a call to action: our words and actions matter, and kindness starts closer than we think.ABOUT THE SHOW:Dad Bods & Beards is the podcast where real men talk about mental health, personal growth, and the mindset it takes to build a life you’re proud of.

In this episode of Dad Bods and Beards, we sit down with Curtis Morley, author of Counterfeit Emotions, to have an honest conversation about men’s mental health, addiction, and what real recovery actually looks like.Curtis introduces his framework around Counterfeit Emotions, explaining why many men stay stuck even after years of sobriety. According to Curtis, sobriety is not the same as recovery — and in some cases, it can actually keep people trapped. Using powerful analogies and neuroscience-backed insights, he explains why shame, not addiction, is often the real driver behind behaviors like pornography use, substance abuse, overeating, and gambling.The conversation breaks down the critical difference between guilt and shame:Guilt says, “I did something wrong, and I can change.”Shame says, “I am wrong, and that can’t be fixed.”Curtis shares how recovery comes from addressing the underlying emotional need, not just stopping the behavior, and how neuroplasticity offers real hope for healing trauma and building new pathways.Along the way, the hosts share raw personal stories — from injuries and ER visits to travel mishaps — making this a candid, meaningful discussion about fatherhood, self-worth, and growth.Curtis also discusses his 8-week Counterfeit Emotions program, which helps men and couples move from shame-based survival into true recovery and connection.ABOUT THE SHOW:Dad Bods & Beards is the podcast where real men talk about mental health, personal growth, and the mindset it takes to build a life you’re proud of.

“Great things are never done by one person; they’re done by a team.” – Steve Jobs

In this episode, Logan and Tyson break down how Middle Aged Mayhem came to life—what started as jokes and conversations in a podcast studio eventually turning into a live comedy show.

They talk about building the show alongside close friends Scott D. Henry and Heath Harmison, and how the four of them leaned into creativity, trust, and a shared sense of humor to take a real leap together. With the guidance and belief of their manager Aaron Karr, the idea moved from “what if” to standing under the lights on stage.

This conversation dives into the nerves, the risks, the creative process, and the reality of putting yourselves out there in a completely new way.

“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.” – Unknown

In this episode, Logan and Tyson try to put words to The Reset—the first-ever Dad Bods & Beards retreat tucked deep in the jungle at Jade Jungle Resort in Belize.

What was planned as a retreat quickly became something much more meaningful. Men showed up from different walks of life—some friends, some strangers—and in just a few days, those lines disappeared. In the quiet of the jungle, bonds were formed, walls came down, and perspectives shifted in ways none of them expected.

They reflect on stepping outside comfort zones, sharing once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and the grounding influence of Belize’s rich Mayan culture. The episode is also filled with gratitude—for Lance and Chrissy Walker, Aaron Karr, and the Illuminix Entertainment family, who helped make The Reset what it was.

This wasn’t just a trip. The Reset left its mark—reminding everyone what can happen when men slow down, get honest, and choose connection.
