Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.

This week on the pod we are joined by Chef Sheldon Simeon! Sheldon is a dad to four, the Chef/Owner of Tin Roof in Maui, the author of the new cookbook “Cook Real Hawai’i”, and was voted fan favorite on season 10 & 14 of Top Chef! But most of all, Sheldon is just a truly kickass human. 

Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. Alumni, Jeffrey Dealejandro, sat in on the interview to talk with Sheldon about the balance of being a dad and chef and it did not disappoint! 

Sheldon shared a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on being the leader and the filter for your children. 

We can’t thank Sheldon enough for taking time to join us on the pod and for sharing his incredible cookbook with the world. Be sure to order a copy here and help support feeding the community in Maui!

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to 9 and the first ever Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat. guest, Simon Hall! We first interviewed Simon on episode 6, back in the fall of 2019. A lot has changed in his world since then, so we sat down to talk about raising 9 kids as a single dad and his journey as an adoptive and foster parent. 

We spoke with Simon about his family’s journey through the pandemic, about adopting and raising an infant, dedication, how he balances his time with all his kids and much more. 

Simon updated his Today’s Dad definition, and we didn’t even let him hear his old one first! A huge thanks to Simon for joining us on the pod this week!

This week on the pod we are joined by two very special guests! 

Dad to two, Grammy Nominated, multiple Juno Award winning, wind bag songwriter (and the creator of one of the best albums EVER recorded)- Afie Jurvanen (otherwise known as Bahamas) and his Producer, Manager, friend (who has been been nominated for Grammys and Juno Awards for his work) and dad to one - Robbie Lackritz!  

We covered a lot with Afie and Robbie including their thoughts on their kids being involved with music, the joy of the experience, how their lives changed during the pandemic and the challenges for their families as the world opens back up, leadership and much more! 

They both added Today’s Dad definitions to our Rickhouse and discussed the “lens” of fatherhood and the flaw with trying to be a Swiss Army Knife. 

A big thanks to Afie and Robbie for joining us on the pod! If you haven’t listened to Bahamas before - shoot Palmer a message and he will be sure to fix that for you!

Welcome to the March 2021 Rickhouse.  The home of the ever maturing Today’s Dad definition! The goal of Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.  is to “define Today’s Dad”...we do this by asking our guest to share their definition at the top of every show.  We store these definitions week after week on our podcasts, YouTube channel, in our RICKHOUSE on our website, social media platforms and we constantly highlight them. Our Rickhouse is our way of distilling our information into a tasty blend to share. 

These episodes will drop the last Friday of every month, adding to the ever maturing and complexity that is a "Today's Dad" ~ Enjoy

This week on the pod we are joined by David Spitz. David is a dad to three, a husband, Owner and CEO of California Strength, lifelong coach and (in his own words) “former athlete - turned fat guy - turned fit guy”. 

We had a great chat with David about his life as a Today’s Dad, his journey to creating Cal Strength and his own personal journey back to a life of fitness. We also talk about their new strength program, Ripped and Ready, that is perfect for dads looking to get back in shape or keep their fitness journey moving forward. David was kind enough to give our listeners 20% their first month of the program using the code “WDDR”. 

David shared a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on the ability to be multi-purpose in your role and being sure to prioritize yourself and your relationship with your spouse. The biggest takeaway from our chat with David was his motto of “never do nothing” and the importance of love and gratitude. 

A big thanks to David for joining us on the pod this week!

This week on the pod we are joined by Coach Jonathan Cane! Jonathan is a dad to 9 year old Simon, a husband, the Co-founder and Head Coach of City Coach in NYC and a true Today’s Dad! 

There were some great take-aways on the pod this week starting with Joanathan’s Today’s Dad definition that said a Today’s Dad is like a “human Swiss Army Knife”. We talked about the importance of drive, what endurance sports can teach you about life, the importance of letting your kids lead, and even got into some talk around gender roles and race. 

We hope you take away as much from this conversation as we did! A big thanks to Coach Cane for joining us on the pod this week!

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Allen Rigell! Allen is a dad to one, a husband, an Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist and Palmer’s Psychiatrist. We had Allen on the pod to discuss mental health for dads and men and really had a great conversation! 

Allen’s Today’s Dad definition was all about the different hurdles that come with all the different phases of fatherhood and how a Today’s Dad looks to the Tom Hanks that has been stranded on the island for years for advice about fatherhood instead of the Tom Hanks that just washed ashore. He also spoke about being in “autopilot” mode as a parent and partner and the balance of that. 

We talk about a lot on the pod this week, but the biggest take away we hope you get is that it is good to ask for help or a place to talk when you need it. We use this pod as an outlet to share our experiences and know the benefit of talking about the ups and downs of life. A big thanks to Allen for joining us on the pod and sharing his experiences with us.
