Dave- TN, United States

🎙 DAD’S CLUB CLUBHOUSE PODCAST EPISODE 3: DAVE WHITLEY — STRENGTH THAT MAKES IT HOME Before fatherhood, Dave Whitley built his identity around strength. Not just lifting. Not just coaching. Strength was who he was. His value was tied to output — what he could endure, bend, press, survive. Then a truck wreck changed everything. In the aftermath, strength stopped being about numbers and started being about something else entirely: making it home. Making it back to the people who needed him. Passing resilience to the next generation. In this episode, Dave opens up about redefining strength — not as ego, not as image — but as responsibility. About what happens when the “strong guy” realizes strength isn’t about how much you can lift… it’s about what you can carry and still show up for your family. This is a conversation about identity, fatherhood, resilience, and legacy. No filters. No editing out the hard parts. Just real talk about what it takes to stay strong where it matters most. ---------------------------------------- Host: Jeremiah Karrasch Instagram: @jeremiahthehappydad Facebook: jeremiah.karrasch Composer: Tony Edgecomb Instagram: @tony_edgecomb Facebook: tony.edgecomb Guest: Dave Whitley Instagram: @irontamer Facebook: irontamer1 Produced by DAD’s Club All Rights Reserved

Eddie-United States

🔥 This episode is for the dad who’s holding it together… quietly. This episode isn’t about parenting hacks or having it all figured out. It’s about showing up when there’s no backup plan. In this raw, honest conversation, we sit down with Eddie Bell—a dad who learned early that sometimes you don’t get a roadmap… you just get responsibility. Raised in a split home, shaped by absence, faith, and watching other men lead from the sidelines, he chose presence over excuses when life stripped things down. This is a story about: 🧱 Growing up without consistent guidance 🌪 Carrying responsibility before you felt ready 💔 Losing a marriage without losing yourself 🔥 Becoming a full-time dad when it matters most 🧠 Building a life on consistency, faith, and the small moments 🕯 Staying when walking away would’ve been easier We don’t rush the hard parts. We don’t talk over the quiet ones. We sit with the weight—and keep standing. If you’re a dad who feels alone… If you’re doing the work without applause… If you’re wondering whether what you’re doing is enough… This episode is for you. 🎧 Welcome to the Clubhouse. Sometimes being a great dad just means showing up in the darkest of times. Every. Single. Day. ---------------------------------------- HOST: Jeremiah Karrasch (facebook.com/jeremiah.karrasch) GUEST: Eddie Bell (instagram.com/in_a_mans_heart) PRODUCER: DAD's Club Composer: Tony Edgecomb (instagram.com/tony_edgecomb) ---------------------------------------- #DadsClub #DadLife #Fatherhood #SingleDad #MensMentalHealth #ShowingUp #DadPodcast #RealTalk #HealingMen #FatherhoodUnfiltered #StayStanding #YouAreNotAlone #ModernDad #FaithAndFatherhood
