Episode Synopsis


We turned off the filters and just let this one rip with no editing. You will hear dogs barking, beers cans being popped, and some technical issues…..who knew Anchor only allowed you to go 2 hours. We don’t think about time when we jump into these, but the conversation just flowed and Colin, Bryan, and I just talked – and oh did we enjoy the conversation. We discuss parenting, coaching, wrestling, NEPA, reflecting, and as we try all the time, relentless forward progress. We tried, as the podcast’s title says, share some nuggets on how we are just figuring this out and working to be the best dad’s we can. We were grateful to have Colin join us for his wisdom, humor, and vulnerability. So sit back, grab your favorite drink and enjoy the ride.

“I’ll crack your butt the other way.” – Mr. Benson 😊

During the show, Colin enjoyed some fine H2O while Bryan tasted New Belgium’s Accumulation White IPA & I imbibed on Oskar Blues’ Can-O-Bliss IPA.

How’d we get here?

The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created. Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020. There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out. Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life. Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊. All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings. We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years. So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place.
