Ever wish you could go back and change a decision that still haunts you? Or maybe you wonder how different your life would be if you’d taken that one big chance. On this episode of Ask Dad, we dive into the world of ‘Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda’—those nagging regrets and what they reveal about who we are today. We’ll share stories about the decisions that shape us, how to turn missed opportunities into fuel for a better future, and, as always, some dad-inspired wisdom to help you move forward with purpose.

For a touch of comic relief, we’ll lighten the mood with our Swear Word of the Day (because, hey, sometimes life deserves a colorful exclamation).

The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.
