We are joined this week by Scott Stallings for a Dad 2 Dad-Dad Talk! Scott is  PGA Tour golfer, dad to two, ONNIT athlete, and the definition of driven! Scott had us out to record the episode at his “barn” aka his incredible home gym, it is no wonder that he is one of the fittest, if not THE fittest, golfer on tour! But this hasn’t always been the case. 

We talked with Scott about his transformation, both physically and mentally, and the moment he realized he needed to make a change. Scott’s kids have spent most of their life being on tour with him, but that is changing in 2020. We talked about how he is preparing, as a dad, to be on the road for close to 200 days and not have his family with him as much as he has in the past. This is a great episode that covers a lot, including the Scott Stallings Kids Play Free Initiative that allows kids to play golf for free 365 days a year and even provides them with free rental clubs! 

Be ready to buy some Ryan Holiday and Malcom Gladwell books when it is over, because you are going to be inspired to optimize yourself like Scott has ...because as Today’s Dads, we are always working to be the best version of ourselves we can be!

If you want to discuss the topic of ‘Bonding With Kids Though Hobbies’ you talk to someone that lives and breaths the most nostalgic bonding activity out there, fishing.  

We sit down with Allen Gillespie, owner & captain of 3 Rivers Angler fly fishing shop in Knoxville, TN. We discuss the importance of hobbies, the fact that we are over hobbying the shit out of our kids, and how ultimately all we want is for our kids to like the same hobbies we like in life…. good luck.

This is our first live recording & it certainly won’t be our last.  Please enjoy the discussion, we certainly did.

Buckle up! We decided to let the tables be turned for this week's episode, and had our lovely wives interview us! Plenty of PostModern Spirits gin and Wathen's bourbon was consumed for this conversation that covered everything from our journey into dadhood, selective hearing, what we do and don’t tell the moms during their work day, and the all important mystery of why boys (certainly not men) are obsessed with their junk. Our goal was to help let you all learn a little more about us and our journey as dads. Thanks to Michelle and Courtney for putting up with us, supporting our podcast, and, most importantly, making us dads!
