## Resource

Episode #18 of Life of Dad welcomes comedian Derrick Stroup as he joins Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James for a conversation about first-time fatherhood, family life, and the unexpected ways becoming a dad changes your perspective. From preparing for a new baby and learning as you go to reflecting on childhood, marriage, and the instinct to protect the people you love, the guys share stories that are equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. The episode also features plenty of laughs as the conversation wanders through summer heat, football, travel, fantasy leagues, jiu-jitsu, unforgettable massage stories, and the everyday moments that somehow turn into the funniest memories. As always, the episode is filled with relatable parenting conversations, honest reflections, and unexpected tangents. Funny, relatable, and full of the excitement and uncertainty that comes with raising a family, Episode #18 is a reminder that becoming a dad doesn't mean having all the answers - it just means showing up, learning as you go, and doing your best for the people who matter most.
