Haven't posted a lot lately. Mostly, because I haven't had a lot to share. But, some folks have reached out so....here ya go....
Yes....we're still doing the podcast, just been swamped at work and my dad and MB have been busy.
Yes....I am doing good...hell...I'd actually
I am incredibly excited to announce that I have accepted a Sales Executive position with

I know I say this a lot…but the fact y’all are following a lawn technician that lives with his parents…means more than you will ever know. You guys keep me motivated and keep confirming that I’m not done. Thank you. For everything.
I spent Jan-April the lowest I’ve ever been.
I spent April - September really working on me and what’s around me.
I’ve spent Sept - now appreciating what I have and what I’ve surrounded myself with.
This is the best I’ve been.
You’ll see.
I can’t wait to show everyone the person I am. The person who I am today, tomorrow, and everyday moving forward. I can’t wait til I can look back and realize who I am RIGHT NOW is the man I want to be forever. Thanks for coming along the ride, your support means the world.
Social media is a place to share your news & happenings that no one asked for, right? Haha. I do have some news I’ll share soon, not radio related, but, just wanted to say. I’ve been pretty happy lately. Excited about Christmas. Smiling more. Things are going to be alright!
I miss radio daily - but I can’t stress how much I truly love the company I’m currently with. It’s family. It’s outdoor work. Everyday I try and find positives. Today, I’m feelin positive. Have a great Wednesday.
The emails I’ve gotten to the podcast from countless dudes - saying me being open and vulnerable and emotionally open has helped them during their tough times - continues to motivate me to keep pushing. I won’t stop, you don’t stop. We WILL be ok.
I woke up this AM missing radio more 2day than I have in the past 8 months.
The last time I was on air was 12/14/2022.
I won’t stop working my way back until I am back doing what I love.
People make mistakes, I’ve made a bunch in my life, but my mistakes won’t define me.
I try to find the positive as much as I can lately. Being able to spending a bit with my kiddos in the morning is one of those positives. I have been spending SO MUCH time with my kids. It's one of the positives with my new career.
It's been a minute since I said it...so....
I really do appreciate all of you that follow.
The podcast we do is fun for us. I know it's not EXTRAORDINARY - but it's fun. And my dad and my gal love doing it.
So we're gonna keep on! And you guys have been wonderful
Stranger: “Keep pushin. There’s a lot of us who want to see a comeback. Mistakes happen. Just don’t give up.”
Had some negative comments sent over lately & this really picked me back up.
Keep moving forward.
Don’t quit.
You can’t control yesterday
I appreciate yall.
This weekend is the last weekend in my house. I have moments where I break down, but it’s just materials. My kids are healthy and happy. My lady is by my side. I’m upright. I won’t give up. Things won’t be like this forever.
#Friday
My kids tried out for the talent show today. Not gonna lie…I cried when my daughter sang. So outta character for her to do this. And she nailed it. Really proud dad moment.
I sat down with the thought of recording a podcast with my kids. 14 mins in, tears, arguments, meltdowns, and pretty sure an “I hate you” tossed in there - we got nothing…
Hahahahaha.
I hate I have to say it. But I’m going to. Again, I know some of y’all will never “like” me again. I get it. But if you comment something shitty, I’m gonna block you. It’s not a “wuss” move. It’s because I’m trying to be a better person and don’t need the negativity. Thx
I’ll take every little win and milestone I can lately. As of this AM, I’m officially DOWN 201lbs. TWO HUNDRED AND ONE POUNDS. I’ve almost lost half of what I used to weigh. Physically, personally, emotionally, mentally…I’ll continue to better myself. The work continues…
What a year this has been. Thanks to all who have been on this insane journey and to those of you who aren’t, I’ll still show ya how much more I have to offer this place. Living much more positive lately.
Also - had a good amount of people stop me and say hello before/after the game last night. I love and appreciate that. All kind words. That means a lot. Have a great Sunday!
Today, as of 3:19pm, I am no longer a homeowner. It sucks. But it’s ok. Now is the next chapter of my story. Now is when I lace em up and get after it. It’s right now. For my family. For my kids. For my lady. For ME.
It’s time.
Someone sent an email to our podcast and asked if I felt "pathetic" and "a complete loser" working for Amazon and a lawn care company before finding my new job.
No. I don't.
Because instead of sitting around and wallowing and locking myself in my home, I took the steps I
If I can make it through the storm, you can as well. Don't give up. Sometimes it feels like it's over, but in reality, as long as you are trying your best, it won't be over. It's only over when it's the end...this isn't our end.
Random thought: I am REALLY enjoying doing the podcast with my dad and MB. It’s giving me a media outlet and it’s a lot of fun for all of us.
If you’ve listened, thank you!
If you haven’t…check it out.
If ya don’t wanna…that’s cool too.
@ManDadPod

account asking how I was. I'm good. I'm so focused on providing for my family and being the dad/partner those around me deserve that I have fallen behind on replying to emails.

Had a local media person reach out this weekend asking if I had any “bites” when it came to getting back into radio. No. There isn’t. And that’s fine. I love my new job. I’m good at it. Making good money. I’d gladly accept radio if it came back, but if it doesn’t, THATS OK!
A good chunk of follows the last week or so.
Welcome!
Appreciate yall.
If you haven’t, check out the podcast I have with my old man. It’s a decent time.
How can ya help?
Share the podcast.
Let people know bout it.
Yall are the best.
@ManDadPod
I don’t know this person. But they posted this 2 days ago. And yesterday, they were gone. Men’s mental health is important. Reach out to your friends. They hurt too. People, including myself, make mistakes. We are dads, brothers, sons, and friends.
The amount of messages and emails I’ve received over the past two days has been overwhelming and unreal. It’s so incredible to hear from you all. Truly means the world to me and my family. Thank you for being there.
I might leave this episode up, I may take it down. It's genuine...it's real. It's me. Listen if you'd like. You also DON'T have to. Thanks. I appreciate you all.
Well…
#WrestleMania
….This was incredible. What an amazing show. Even if you’re not a wrestling fan (like my lady) this was entertaining as hell. Wow. I love pro wrestling.
A few years back we had a comedian on and he brought his opener with him. That opener…
@ianimal69
. Fast forward to a real awful time in my life and he’s the dude that made me laugh a ton. Thanks brother.
Played softball for the first time in over a year this week. First, I forgot how much I love it. Second, pitched well but my lord, I need to re-teach myself how to hit. Yikes. 0-6 I think? 5 pop ups. Yucko.
Excited about a DJ gig this weekend…got me thinking though…I definitely am going to miss DJing some holiday parties this year.
Some of my favorite times DJing happened at those parties.
Hoping I get to book a bunch next year!
Told ya we would get here. No matter how hard this week was...we're here. One more day then we get some time to relax, unwind, spend with our family, or just get after it. Happy Friday y'all. Have a great weekend.
Had some incredible chats yesterday. Today, and yes I'm at work so it may not be immediate, but I'm going to do my best to reply back to every direct message I receive. Don't be rude, but be open. I appreciate you all.
iPhone: “There are potential tornados on your current route. Here is a safer route….”
Conclusion: I rather drive through a tornado then go 12 minutes out of the way.
Here goes nothin….Ha!
I replied back, but wanted to share this for a couple reasons. 1) Someone out there always, no matter what, has it worse than you do. 2) You have so many reasons to KEEP GOING. The messages are always open if you need to chat with someone.
