• T.D.E. EPISODE 6: TOM BRADDOCK
    Feb 15 2023

    The Dad Effect Fam, you are in for a good one here.     

    Tom Braddock is a man of many titles: father, husband, reverend, director, but to those that know him....He's just Tom.

    Tom comes from a long line of "shut up and get over it" military style parenting.  However, he has taken the opposite approach raising his son.  He shares love, honesty, and vulnerability with his son and it seems to working very well.

    Tom helps hundreds of men every year through the doors of recovery not only as a director of a substance abuse facility in Thorsby, AL but also as an avid mentor and sponsor in the twelve step community.  

    Follow along as we go deep into Tom's upbringing, his unbridled connection to God, and the beautiful journey of giving his son the father he always needed.

    On Episode one, we talk with Chris Kayvonfar, a man that showcases fatherhood, clean Nike's,  and a mean lawnmower walk.  

    Chris walks us through his long road to recovery from substance abuse and eventually landing in a loving place in life.   We get vulnerable about toxic masculinity growing up and the lasting effect into adulthood.
