Real dads talk real life in this episode of What’s Up Dad?! as we discuss mistakes dads make, what shapes us as fathers, work-life balance, marriage, and faith — plus the moment when a son calls his dad “bro.”

Welcome back to the What’s Up Dad?! podcast — the show where real dads have honest conversations about fatherhood, marriage, faith, family, and life. In this episode, we talk about common mistakes dads and husbands make, what truly shapes us as fathers, and how our own childhood experiences impact the way we parent today.

We dive into topics like:
• The mistake of becoming “too much of a friend” to your kids (yes… he called me bro)
• Communication struggles in marriage and fatherhood
• Work-life balance and being present as a dad
• How our parents and upbringing shape the dads we become
• The mental load moms carry in the family
• Shared vs split bank accounts in marriage
• What kind of grandparents we hope to be one day

Plus, we do a classic food review on Sweet & Salty Bugles and close out with a faith-based segment, What’s Up Jesus, talking about spiritual growth, biblical context, and preparing for daily spiritual battles.

This episode is packed with relatable dad moments, laughs, real talk, and meaningful discussion for anyone navigating fatherhood, marriage, parenting, and faith.
