DadCo Podcast – Episode 6: The Conversation Men Need To Hear Right Now

This episode starts with laughs, random dad chaos, and stories that spiral completely off the rails—but quickly turns into one of the deepest conversations the podcast has had so far. The guys sit down with Conrad Craft for an honest discussion about mental health, identity, pressure, purpose, and the hidden weight so many men carry in silence. From funny childhood stories to vulnerable conversations about burnout, depression, anxiety, and feeling lost, this episode dives into what happens when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would. More importantly, it’s about hope. About showing up anyway. About learning that asking for help doesn’t make you weak—and that being a dad, husband, or man isn’t about pretending you’re okay all the time.
