On this episode Justin and Devon talk about Justin's decision to leave the podcast.We started this podcast as The Nashville Dads in 2022 after both having new kids in 2021. We started doing in person interviews in 2023 and went from 2 dads hanging out, to us learning about dad's stories and sharing them. In 2024 Devon moved to Denver and Justin moved to Murfreesboro and had his second child. This podcast went from an in person podcast to remote.Back in May of 2025 Justin decided to take a break from recording episodes because the combination of work, being a dad, being a husband and trying to hold it all together left him spread too thin. We decided we'd check back in August and see what we should do moving forward. Justin informed me that at this point in time he needs to prioritize his family and job and he doesn't have the mental space to do a podcast anymore. Also with switching to remote interviews, it feels different compared to meeting up in person to record.I plan to keep this podcast going, keeping the name and the focus on curiosity and giving dads a space to talk about their lives. I don't plan on finding a new co-host because that wouldn't feel right to me. Dad Walks are still happening in Nashville and our friend Evan is doing a great job finding ways to get dads to connect in the Nashville area. This podcast wouldn't exist without Justin. We wouldn't have known something like this could be possible when we started it. We wanted to start this because we wanted dads to know they aren't alone and they're worth listening to. That has always been the goal of this podcast, and Justin leaving the podcast means now I have to call Justin to get a pep talk to keep on doing the episode instead of you guys hearing him say it in the middle of the episode.Justin. I have no idea if you ever look at the show notes, because I'm pretty sure you don't listen to any of the episodes because you always hated the sound of your own voice. Thanks for encouraging me to start this journey of a podcast and encouraging me to keep it going. Best of luck man. I'll keep your seat warm for ya.Send us a textFollow us on Facebook and Instagram @theimperfectdadspodcast . Look for new episodes of The Imperfect Dads Podcast every Monday.

Hey everyone! May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health for dads is a subject that comes up in a good majority of our episodes. When I was editing and listening through episodes I felt like releasing this episode earlier in our rotation for Mental Health Awareness month made a lot of sense.This episode is with Mitchell Osmond of Dad Nation. Mitchell shares his story about how as a dad and husband he reached a point where he felt like he was living a life he wasn't proud of. He talked to us about how he changed his habits and routines and how he now coaches dads on how to be more the person they want to be. In this episode Mitchell talks about the lows he felt when he was at rock bottom, and Justin talks about his struggles with going from 1 kid to 2 kids and all the roles you have to be in fatherhood. Mitchell also mentions that if you reach out to his company for coaching to make sure to mention that you heard about him on this podcast.We will say over and over again that one of the points of this podcast is to let dads know they aren't alone. Fatherhood makes you look in the mirror and a lot of us don't like what we see when we do. We really hope if that's your story, you know you're not alone. There are lots of other dads just like you trying other figure out how to become the dad they want to be. And if you feel alone talk to a friend, or send us a message. Fatherhood can feel very isolating, but you aren't alone. You're never alone. And with that said, we hope you enjoy the episode.
