About This Podcast

As fathers, we tend to have so much on our plates! From providing for our families, to making sure our kids are taken care of…we can sometimes lose ourselves and our identities. To the world, we may seem to be able to handle anything that comes our way, like Superman. I wanted to give us fathers a safe place that can be our community! We discuss everything, from untold struggles of fatherhood, to what our go-to is on the grill! http://instagram.com/nsjd_podcast https://youtube.com/@notsuperheroesjustdads?si=bZGZvI0DF1cx5Lr2
