What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been able to take many of the teachings from this podcast and apply them to my own life. My favorite episodes were the Wednesday Q and A episodes but I also really like the new Friday solo shows where Larry teaches on a particular topic.

ChadWSU · Jan 2025

If you’re a dad or husband, this podcast needs to be on your list. I have learned a lot about myself through listening to Larry and his guests. If you’re a wife wondering why your husband does some dumb stuff, there are some nuggets in here for you too.

I have been listening to the podcast for a few years and Larry always bring great content with guests and his own knowledge. I am a member of the Dad Edge Alliance and it is also a great resource for men looking to be better dads, husbands and sons. You will not regret giving this podcast a listen.

UT Spartans · Dec 2024

When I first learned about the dad edge and mastermind from a colleague of mine, I was skeptical. The way he described it was intriguing, but made me curious, and also seemed so odd. I mean the thought of sitting down on a call, sharing my feelings, struggles, and frustrations with a total group of strangers who I have never met, but are truly invested in me and wanting to help me get better just didn’t make any sense…so my colleague told me start with the podcast, give it a week, and I promise you won’t regret it…well a week turned in months and now years, and been made part of my weekly schedule to listen and learn. At that time, when I first learned of the podcast and mastermind, my wife and I were okay, but I knew I could do better. We were already parents to a beautiful girl and trying for our second, but we had some challenges. It was hard. I had never experienced what it was like to walk through a miscarriage let alone 3 back to back. Or had ever knee any man, who had and was willing to talk about it. There was so much pain, anger, saddness, and grief. It was one of the most difficult seasons of my life, especially for my wife because I had know idea what she needed from me…my natural instinct was how do things for her to try fix her brokenness, but it was opposite of what she needed, she just needed me to be with her through her brokenness. I didn’t understand empathy, I didn’t understand how to meet my wife where she was… so I decided to take the step, pushed my pride aside and I asked for help. I joined the dad edge community and it became the best thing that has ever happened to me as man, and my family. When I joined my first call team, I was so nervous, but it felt right, and the men in the group made it so easy. Almost as if I had always known them. The resources and knowledge I have learned and still apply today, propelled my relationship forward. It wasn’t easy, but nothing great ever comes easy. You have to put in the work to get the results. If you are reading this and are on the fence. Take the step, put your pride aside, join the dad edge and get after it!
