Today on the show…Bryan Richards, a friend I met in college and a Dad whose story I’m beyond excited to share with you. In the nearly 20 years I’ve known Bryan, we’ve shared a dorm room wall, a dugout bench and surely a few too many cases of beer.  

After talking with Bryan for this episode, though, what’s so abundantly clear to me is that despite being more than 15 years removed from our college days and so busy being Dads that we haven’t seen each other in about five years, we remain close because we continue to share in the way we both look at and go about fatherhood. 

Bryan's a high school guidance counselor, a longtime coach of several team sports, and the father of three — aged 3 to 10 -- along with his wife Kirsten. He’s got a genuine approach to parenting and isn’t afraid to use the experiences he’s gained in his profession to balance perspectives at home with his young family.
