Episode 29-2: Learning by Doing: How Experiential Learning Shapes Better Dads

This week’s Dad Life episode is all about Experiential Learning—what it is, why it matters, and how it’s helping us become better dads while teaching our kids valuable life skills along the way.
So… what is Experiential Learning? It’s all about learning through direct experience—not just watching or reading about something, but actually doing it. Whether it’s fixing something around the house, cooking a meal, or managing emotions, these real-world moments create long-lasting lessons.
We share how this hands-on approach is helping our kids grow in confidence, independence, and problem-solving—and how it’s also teaching us to be more present and patient as fathers.
Here are two simple ways any dad can use experiential learning:
🛠️ DIY Projects Together – Get your child involved in fixing something at home. Let them use a screwdriver or help measure something. It teaches practical skills and builds confidence.
🧁 Cooking a Meal Side-by-Side – From reading a recipe to prepping ingredients, it’s a fun and meaningful way to learn math, planning, and responsibility—all while making memories.
Tune in for laughs, real talk, and ideas you can take into your own home in Episode 29-2 of DX!

Episode 29-1: Udders, EV Charging & Battery-Powered Dad Energy

It’s time for another Everyday Life catch-up, and this week, Sean and Nick are back with stories, laughs, and the kind of chaos only dads can create.
👨‍🎓 Nick attended a family friend’s graduation, took a deep dive into very questionable ChatGPT territory ("Udders vs. Breasts"… don’t ask 😬), and treated himself to a battery-powered lawnmower—because what screams dad life more than mowing without a cord and with maximum smugness? He’s also battling the new 4K TV’s parental settings, as the kids continue to push the limits of what they can access.
🔌 Sean is riding the learning curve of owning an electric vehicle, navigating chargers, plugs, and range anxiety. With work shifts taking over, it’s mostly been Work. Sleep. Eat. Repeat. But in his downtime? He’s ripping and tearing through Doom: The Dark Ages like a man possessed.
Tune in for the usual randomness, parenting wins (and fails), and some serious dad banter in Episode 29-1!

Episode 28-2: Type C Parenting - Calm, Connected, and Conscious

This week’s Dad Life episode dives into the world of parenting styles, and in particular, we’re unpacking the growing interest in what’s being called Type C Parenting.
You’ve probably heard of Type A parents—highly structured, achievement-driven, and often a bit intense with routines and expectations. Then there’s Type B—more laid-back, go-with-the-flow, and relaxed in their approach.
But Type C? That’s something different.
Type C Parenting is all about connection over control. It’s a balanced approach that focuses on:
Emotional regulation (for parents and kids)
Open communication
Empathy and respect
Intentional boundaries without harsh discipline
And guiding rather than pushing our kids through life
We discuss what this parenting style looks like in the real world, how it’s helped us in our own homes, and the ways it encourages long-term emotional resilience for our children.
If you’re looking for a more conscious, calm, and compassionate way to parent, or you’re just curious about different parenting approaches, this one’s for you.

Episode 27-2: Battling the Inner Critic – A Dad’s Guide to Self-Doubt

This week’s Dad Life episode gets a little deeper as Sean and Nick open up about something many dads silently struggle with — the inner critic. That nagging voice that tells us we’re not doing enough, not good enough, or just failing at this whole parenting thing.
We share simple daily practices to help quiet the noise:
Naming your inner critic and learning to talk back
Celebrating small wins to build real confidence
Journaling like your own coach
Flipping the “what if I fail?” mindset
Surrounding yourself with real support
And embracing the fact that we’re all a work in progress
If you’ve ever doubted yourself as a dad, partner, or person — this episode is for you. Join us for honest talk, practical advice, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.
