About this listen

 Do you have the skills you need to love and lead your family from the front? My name is Brendan Wall. I am a father of four and married to my best friend. I started this podcast not because I have all the answers, but because I am in search of them. We have one opportunity to be the best men, husbands, and fathers that we can be, and I plan to seize it. At DAD THE MAN we interview guys we all know and admire professionally, but more importantly, are setting the tone for what a great man, husband, and father looks like. Guys who seize the opportunity before them to love and lead their families from the front, from a place of opportunity not obligation. This is Dad the Man. This is who we all aspire to become. Every single week, you can expect to hear from household names like JORDAN SPIETH, TIM KENNEDY, ERIC DECKER, SEAN LOWE, STIPE MIOCIC, DAVID MELTZER, DR MICHAEL GERVAIS, STAN EFFERDING, MARK BELL, DREW MANNING, DR JOSH AXE, DR JOHN DELONY, ROBB WOLF, JASON KHALIPA, TODD ABRAMS, LEW CARALLA, BERT SORIN, JOHN ELDREDGE, HEATH EVANS, DANIEL CARLSON, YOGI ROTH, PETER BURNS, CARLOS REYES, and many more represent what DAD THE MAN stands for. As men, husbands, and fathers, we experience and struggle with so many of the same things, and it's time we recognize that we are all in this together. If you are looking for more purpose, passion, connection, success, and camaraderie in your life, then you are in the right place.

    GUEST NOTES

    Today’s guest is NFL vet Lee Smith. Lee has a pretty amazing story.. from the University of Tennessee to Marshall to a long NFL career, and what I love most about him and his story (the part of the conversation that God needed me to hear) is that Lee has always done things “his own way” - as the world might say, but in reality its the way that the Lord has led him. People have called him crazy, ut he isn’t worried about what people think. He’s worried about what God thinks. This idea is weaved through this entire conversation today, nd I’m so excited to share it with you. God spoke to me through this conversation and I pray that he’ll do the same for you today as you listen.
