How Mentorship & Community Make You A Better Dad
What do you do when you realize you're trying to lead a family without ever having been shown how? Where do you go when you want to be a strong husband and father, but you're running on empty?
In this episode of The Dudela Podcast, we sit down with Matt Thomas — father of four, leadership coach, and founder of Marrow — to talk about the life-changing power of mentorship, male friendship, and intentional community. Matt opens up about what happens when dads isolate, why we are not built to go it alone, and how real growth often starts in the places we’re most tempted to hide.
This conversation is part storytelling, part challenge, and all heart. From young fatherhood and failed plans to mountain retreats and hard-won wisdom, Matt offers a vision of fatherhood that is full of strength, surrender, and support.
Here’s what we unpack:
• Why fatherhood cannot be done alone
• The difference between transparency and vulnerability
• How mentorship rewires your view of manhood and leadership
• What happens when men stop pretending and start practicing
• Preparing your kids for the real world without fear
• Raising kids with intention in a phone-saturated culture
• How to recover from moments of failure as a dad
• Why emotional presence is just as critical as financial provision
• The danger of manufactured risk vs the need for real risk
• How community helps you hold the line when everything feels hard
• What happens at a Marrow retreat and why every dad needs it
• The slow, deep work of becoming the man your family needs
