Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.

This week on the pod we are joined by Erick Baker. Erick is a Singer Songwriter, TV show host, Emmy award winner, a children’s book author, a husband, dad to one, and a true Today’s Dad.

Erick shared all the struggles of finding balance being a musician and being the father and husband he needed to be, and ultimately how he reprioritized his career to be able to create that balance. We also talked about his life as a storyteller and so much more! Erick was kind enough to perform live on the pod, his song Room To Fall, which holds a special place in his heart as a dad and son.

Erick’s Today’s Dad definition was all about being “bumpers on a bowling lane” and being sure to embarrass your kids! It is a great definition, you don’t want to miss this one! A big thanks to Erick for joining us on the pod, be sure to check out his website to learn more about how to catch Erick’s livestream, Noise In The Attic.

This week on the pod we are joined by Chef Jeffrey Dealejandro! Jeffrey is a dad to three, a husband, the owner of Olibea and HenHoc in Knoxville, TN, funny as hell and a true Today’s Dad. 

We talk about a lot on this episode with Jeffrey including his journey with opening a new restaurant during the pandemic, setting an example for your kids (what to do when life is great and when it is challenging), putting your family first and so much more. 

Jeffrey’s Today’s Dad definition was all about setting the best example you can because your kids are always watching and working to be constantly involved in their lives. 

A big thanks to our good friend Jeffrey for joining us on the podcast this week. If you are ever in the Knoxville area do yourself a favor and go check out Olibea and HenHoc!

This week on the pod we are joined by Patrick Lemieux! Patrick is a dad to 3 year old Stanley, married to the reigning Olympic Gold Medalist in Triathlon, Gwen Jorgensen, a former professional cyclist and a true Today’s Dad!  

We had a great time talking with Patrick about his role as the ultimate support crew of his wife Gwen in her journey through triathlon and now training to become an olympic marathoner, how that role has changed/evolved since becoming a dad, remaining flexible and running his own athlete representation business.  

Patrick’s Today’s Dad definition was all about flexibility and being malleable, a trait that we all could use a little more of at times it seems! We loved his definition and the whole conversation we were able to have. A big thank to Patrick for joining us on the pod!

This week on the pod we are joined by Hallerin Hilton Hill! Hallerin is a dad to two, a husband, a radio and TV host/producer, an author, a speaker, a trainer, a wisdom crusader, and a true Today’s Dad. 

We had a great time talking with Hallerin about his love of learning, the joy that comes out of being around people when they are enjoying their passion, power trips vs. power strips, his “rituals of reset”, drive, work ethic and so much more! 

Hallerin’s Today’s Dad definition was about being present, by living in the here and now and acting as a shape shifter so you can be what your children need in that moment.

Welcome to the September 2020 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 dad to two, and the founder and whiskey maker of Jefferson’s Bourbon, Trey Zoeller. We had a great time talking with Trey about his family heritage in Kentucky and the bourbon world, creating Jefferson’s Bourbon with his dad, some of the different Jefferson’s expressions, balancing work with raising twins, divorce, and so much more! 

Trey had a great Today’s Dad definition that was all about the evolution of a Today’s Dad, creating balance, crafting experiences, and getting your kids ready to fly the nest. 

A big thanks to Trey for joining us on the podcast this week! September is National Bourbon Heritage Month, so grab some Jefferson’s and give this episode a listen-you won’t be disappointed!

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to one, certified Sommelier, and founder of Josh Cellars (the producers of Josh Wine), Joe Carr! Joe is an incredibly passionate Today’s Dad with a love like no other for his family and the moments shared with them. We had a great time talking with Joe about his relationship with his father, the creation of Josh Cellars (which he named after his father), courage and conviction, enhancing moments through wine, adopting his daughter, the loss of his wife, and the importance of family. 

In his Today’s Dad definition, Joe says that a Today’s Dad first job is to make sure his children know that they are safe and that you will always be there for them. He also says that Today’s Dad loves unconditionally and listens to their children and respects their opinions even when they disagree. 

This is a really great episode filled with some beautiful and emotional stories shared by a true Today’s Dad. Grab a bottle of Josh Cabernet Sauvignon and share this episode with a fellow dad. A huge thanks to Joe for sharing his story with us!
