Welcome to the new chapter of Daddy Wants To Play. This week, we officially launch the new direction of the show — real conversations centered around competition, leadership, fatherhood, and identity through the lens of sports and life. To kick things off, we’re joined by Ryan Verdecia. From CrossFit athlete and fitness coach… to firefighter, entrepreneur, Airbnb host, husband, and father — Ryan opens up about the mindset behind wearing so many hats while still trying to show up fully for his family. We dive into: where his work ethic comes from what drew him toward competition and coaching why he became a firefighter balancing entrepreneurship with fatherhood the challenge of being present at home while constantly chasing more and what kind of example he hopes to set for his boys moving forward We also discuss coaching your own kids, discipline vs confidence, and the lessons competition teaches that carry over into everyday life. Plus, Ryan becomes the first guest to “Pass The Mic” and leave a question behind for our next guest. This is more than sports talk now. This is Daddy Wants To Play. Competition. Leadership. Fatherhood. ALL GAS. NO STATS. ⛽️","meta_description":"The New Era Begins. Welcome to the new chapter of Daddy Wants To Play.
