## Resource

Episode #4 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about navigating fatherhood as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James settle into the second trimester and discuss the surprising confidence that can come with it. As the early panic and uncertainty begin to fade, the guys talk about how easy it is for new parents to feel like they’ve finally figured things out—just in time for parenthood to remind them otherwise. The episode also features stories from life on the road, traveling with a baby, leaning on grandparents, and the lessons learned from accidentally using a car seat the wrong way. Along the way, the conversation drifts into camping trips, family dynamics, memorable advice from previous generations, awkward handshakes, comedy careers, and the importance of being present as a dad. The guys also answer a listener voicemail about preparing for a second child and continue building the growing Life of Dad community through comments, stories, and shared experiences. Funny, relatable, and full of the kinds of conversations dads have when nobody else is around, Episode #4 is a reminder that confidence and parenthood don’t always arrive at the same time.
