Dads doing deals

What happens when football ends and real life begins?On Episode 4 of Dads Doing Deals, we sit down with Jake Ballard — former Ohio State Buckeye, Super Bowl Champion with the New York Giants, Columbus real estate agent, husband, father, entrepreneur, and man of faith.Jake’s story is bigger than football.We talk about his journey from Ohio State to the NFL, winning a Super Bowl, and then having his football career cut short by injury. Jake shares what it was like losing the game that had defined so much of his life and figuring out who he was and what came next.That next chapter eventually led him into real estate here in Columbus.But some of the most meaningful parts of this conversation have nothing to do with football or business.Jake opens up about faith, marriage, fatherhood, and the difficult NICU journey his family experienced while becoming parents.We also talk about his newest venture, Hey Dad — an app Jake created with his business partner that allows fathers to build a virtual time capsule for their children.Dads can leave behind videos, photos, notes, stories, advice, and memories that unlock over time throughout their kids’ lives.It’s about leaving more than money behind.It’s about leaving your voice, your stories, your wisdom, and a piece of yourself.This episode is about identity, setbacks, starting over, fatherhood, faith, legacy, and becoming the man your family needs you to be.Jake may be an NFL-sized dude with a Super Bowl ring, but he’s also one of the most genuine and down-to-earth guys you’ll meet.This was a great conversation.If you’re a dad, husband, athlete, entrepreneur, real estate professional, or simply a man trying to build something meaningful while being present for your family — this episode is for you.🎙️ Dads Doing Deals — Episode 4 featuring Jake BallardSubscribe for more conversations about fatherhood, business, marriage, faith, success, failure, and everything that happens in between.#DadsDoingDeals #JakeBallard #OhioStateFootball #OhioStateBuckeyes #NewYorkGiants #Fatherhood #Faith #RealEstate #ColumbusOhio #HeyDad

Dads Doing Deals is for fathers who refuse to believe they have to choose between winning at home and winning in business.

We’re dads first.

We’re husbands, providers, leaders and businessmen trying to build something meaningful without missing the life we’re building it for.

This podcast is about the real side of that pursuit — the pressure, the wins, the failures, the lessons, the family and everything happening between the deals.

Real conversations. Real fathers. Real life.

Dads are who we are.
Deals pay the bills.
The doing is where life happens.
