The Dad Of All Trades

What My Community Taught Me About Showing Up | Dad Of All Trades - S1 - Ep. 5

Every episode so far has been me talking to you. This one's different. This one's about what you've taught me. When I first started going LIVE, I thought it was a one-way street — I show up, I talk, people listen. But that's not what happened. What happened was a conversation. And the people who kept coming back night after night taught me more about consistency, belonging, and showing up than I ever expected. After 20 years of survival mode with no community, no tribe, no space that was mine — having a room full of people who actually want to hear what I think changed something in me. This episode is for them. And for anyone who's ever underestimated the power of just being in the room.

I Stopped Making Excuses and This Happened | Dad Of All Trades - S1 - Ep. 4

Every excuse I was telling myself sounded reasonable. "I'm too old for this." "I'll go all in after things calm down." "I'm not ready yet." They weren't reasons. They were lies dressed up as wisdom. In this episode I break down the excuse audit — how I wrote down everything holding me back and realized almost all of it was just me stalling. And what happened when I stopped honoring the excuses and started showing up messy. If you've been waiting to be ready, this one's for you. You're not going to be ready. Start anyway.

Two OBS Chevys and a Driveway Full of Memories | Dad of All Trades - S1 - Ep. 3

My stepdad bought a 1997 GMC Sierra 2500 brand new. Camping trips, road trips, towing the boat — that truck was how our family did life together. I've wanted one again ever since. Now I'm 42 with two OBS trucks in my garage — a '92 Sierra 2500 and a '92 Blazer — and for the first time in 20 years, I have something that's purely mine. This episode is about why parents need a project that has nothing to do with providing, and why your life is the best content you'll ever make.

I Was Everywhere Except Where I Mattered Most | Dad of All Trades - S1 - Ep. 2

I was working 60 hours a week, volunteering as a firefighter and EMT, serving in church leadership — and my family was getting whatever was left over. Which wasn't much. In this episode I go back ten years to the season that almost broke me, the random trip to the Oregon coast that changed everything, and the moment I realized I was making the same mistake all over again with social media. This is the most personal episode I'll ever record. If you've ever been so busy doing good things that you forgot to take care of the things that actually matter — this one's for you.

I Almost Quit On Day 29 | Dad Of All Trades - S1 - Ep. 1

Most creators quit within 90 days. Not after a year. Not after six months. 90 days. And I almost did too. I'm Johnathon Marko — The DOAT — and in this first episode of Dad Of All Trades, I break down what actually happens in those first 90 days of going LIVE and creating content. The empty rooms. The comparisons. The day 29 moment where I almost walked away. And what it looks like on the other side when you don't quit. If you're in your first few months of building something online — or thinking about starting — this one's for you.
