Kevin's Bio:

At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 I was woken up in the middle of the night and heard the Lord tell me, "I'm going to show up big this year." I journaled this but really didn't press into it. At this time, I started keeping a list of things I needed to teach my boys and mentioned once that this could become a family book.

December came and I decided to really press into God's promise of "showing up big this year," so I fasted for 10 days to clear my mind and fully seek the Lord. Nothing immediately happened but I didn't lose hope. On December 21, Keeli and I attended a wedding. We sat down at our table with only one other couple. Every other table was packed, but ours. The couple sat on the opposite end of the table as they were very cautious about being in public due to the pandemic.

We did connect and started to talk about our families during dinner. Towards the end of dinner, the wife looked at Keeli and said that she felt that one-day Keeli would write a children's book. From there I told her about my vision from earlier in the year that God was going to show up big. She stopped and said, "That's it! You are going to write a book about raising boys and it is going to influence the Kingdom." She said that this was from the Lord and that it would be done. We were overwhelmed with so much excitement knowing that this was a divine appointment. I dabbled with my writing and journaling here and there through 2021 but really wasn't obedient to the calling.

In January 2022, I connected with old family friends Bob and Susan and they each gave me advice that stuck. Bob said, "Create a plan and a roadmap and send it back to me." Susan was to the point and said, "Just write the book!"

As I wrote throughout 2022, I knew that this was from the Lord and the rest is history. DADVOTED was established and the book is just the first part of this exciting journey! My heart is to challenge dads to truly uncover, understand and fully know their Duty, Direction, and Destiny and challenge them to press into it and live it out!

Traci's Bio:

It was during my 12 years at P&G that I learned about understanding consumer beliefs and behavior, marketing, product development, and innovation. I learned how to manage up and down and across massive, complex corporate hierarchies. I touched nearly every business unit and region as I moved up and across the organization, from Fabric & Home Care, to Hair Care, Corporate Design, and Global Volume Forecasting and Market Mix Modeling - a discipline we re-named as "Integrated Business Optimization" during my tenure.

But, more important than any product or team I worked on while at P&G, I learned how to lead with my faith; I fell in love with Jesus and His steady, constant presence, even in the details of my work; and I learned that, driven by my faith, I'm a risk taker and an entrepreneur.

Then, in 2007, I heard the Lord was calling me to step off the ladder and into something new.

I joined a small, but quickly growing, forward-thinking company providing market research and innovation services to companies like Procter. I learned how to create and sell meaningful projects that would enable clients to learn and grow their businesses. I learned how to develop and nurture relationships with clients who had roles like the one I'd held at P&G. I learned the ins and outs of running a small business.

And then I got fired.

Financial strain, and a mismatch between me and the future direction of the business fast-tracked my move to the next adventure.

A blessing in disguise.

Energized rather than discouraged, I seized the opportunity of a small severance package that bought me just enough time to try something new.

Along with a business partner, I co-founded The Garage Group in 2011. Inspired by small-company, entrepreneurial spirit and practice, TGG works with large companies to enable them to solve big challenges with innovative new approaches, borrowed and adapted from the world of startups. TGG grew rapidly and my role ebbed and flowed as the business required - from sales, to project design and delivery, to client relationship development, to content and capability creation, to industry leadership, staff development, creating and shepherding culture, finances, and every other aspect of running a small business.

I learned a lot from our successes, but even more from our mistakes.

In 2019, just before the COVID pandemic hit, my co-founder and I stepped into new roles while we brought in a new CEO to take us to the next level. Within a year, I'd worked myself out of my role, as we sold the business to the next generation of folks from our team.

I moved into what I thought would be a short sabbatical.

That sabbatical turned into almost two years of rest and reassessment. Lots of writing and dreaming and napping and quieting myself and my own dreams long enough to hear the Lord wooing me into something new.

Launching into this new season of writing, advising, podcast hosting, and speaking is a whole new adventure. Walking even more closely with the Lord, I'm ready and willing to go where He leads.

I live in my hometown of Cincinnati, OH with my husband Rich and our people-loving Bernese Mountain Dog, Faith. We're enjoying the empty nest and the beautiful stage of parenting young adult children. Our latest side hustle venture is short term rental properties, which have proven to be a great creative outlet, and have given us a beautiful way to welcome folks to our fine city. We love to travel, read, and fan flames of revival in Cincinnati through prayer, worship, and fellowship with others.
