n this raw, honest episode, Ray and Jerrard talk about the stuff most dads won’t say out loud—from spiritual gut instincts to childhood trauma, health scares, and parenting in the shadow of addiction.

You’ll hear Jerrard open up about losing his mom at age 6, and Ray surviving a terrifying AFib incident, and how faith slowly made its way back into Jerrard's life. The guys also dive into the “God complex” many dads carry and why letting go of control might be the most powerful thing we can do.

We also challenge the cliché “Be your kid’s biggest cheerleader” and introduce a better approach: praising effort over results. This mindset shift could change how your kids handle pressure, setbacks, and success for life.

Topics include:

• Spirituality, gut instincts & divine moments

• Navigating grief, doubt, and redemption

• Fatherhood & addiction awareness

• Rubik’s cubes, LEGO builds & obsession vs. passion

• Why effort-based praise creates mentally stronger kids

• And a side of movie nerdiness (yes, Tokyo Drift & Star Wars are involved)

This episode is deep, funny, and might hit harder than you expect.
If you're a parent trying to lead with love and growth—you're in the right place.
