🔥 This episode is for the dad who’s holding it together… quietly.

This episode isn’t about parenting hacks or having it all figured out.

It’s about showing up when there’s no backup plan.

In this raw, honest conversation, we sit down with Eddie Bell—a dad who learned early that sometimes you don’t get a roadmap… you just get responsibility. Raised in a split home, shaped by absence, faith, and watching other men lead from the sidelines, he chose presence over excuses when life stripped things down.

This is a story about:
🧱 Growing up without consistent guidance
🌪 Carrying responsibility before you felt ready
💔 Losing a marriage without losing yourself
🔥 Becoming a full-time dad when it matters most
🧠 Building a life on consistency, faith, and the small moments
🕯 Staying when walking away would’ve been easier

We don’t rush the hard parts.

We don’t talk over the quiet ones.
We sit with the weight—and keep standing.

If you’re a dad who feels alone…
If you’re doing the work without applause…
If you’re wondering whether what you’re doing is enough…

This episode is for you.

🎧 Welcome to the Clubhouse.

Sometimes being a great dad just means showing up in the darkest of times.
Every. Single. Day.
