Chad Wolf grew up in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, on a dirt road outside of Charleston, in a double wide trailer with a Pentecostal Holiness church on Sundays and a shipyard worker dad who apparently did classified things on nuclear submarines that he can only now talk about. He came to LA at 20, lied his way into an internship for Diane Warren, ended up living in a Swedish musician's house, became friends with Max Martin, and made a record (with a platinum single) that got played at weddings and on The Hills and in rom-coms for a decade.

And then he lost everything. The band, the money, marriages, his house, eventually his car. He lived out of that car for six months, delivered for Postmates in a Range Rover that eventually got repossessed, and never once stopped showing up to take his son to school. This one is a perfect Father's Day episode. Not because Chad got everything right, but because of how honest he is about getting it wrong, and how clear it is that his son - and the art of truly LOVING - saved him.
