“Learn to forgive yourself.”

Ben Beakes is dropping wisdom to wrap up season 2 of the Dad Pod.

Ben is the founding and managing partner of Three Point Strategies, a government affairs, and public relations firm. He and the guys chat about the pride he felt in watching his son navigate being bullied by an adult, the importance of surrounding yourself with mentors, and why we must teach our kids the value of perseverance.

+ Dave and Bobby both struggle to understand why their kids would willingly eat stickers and leaves when they don’t consistently eat real food. 

We’ll be back in 2022 with Season 3 of Dad Pod. Until then, enjoy the ride; it goes much too quickly.

Byron Johnson joins the guys this week on the Dad Pod!

Byron is the Director of the Institute for Studies of Religion, a Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor University, and an accomplished author and grant writer.

Dave has referenced Byron many times on the show and his study of a maximum-security prison in Louisiana. Byron chats with the guys about that incredible study, the lessons he learned about true joy and fatherhood from the prisoners he spent time with, and the importance of a faith community.

+ Bobby doesn’t read the fine print when he enrolls his daughter in Pre-K & Dave compares his mustache to the mustaches in the local fire department.
