Podcast appearances and mentions of Erik Qualman

In this episode of the Super U Podcast, Erik Qualman sits down with Derek Notman and Adam Holt, founders of REBL Dads and co-authors of the new book REBL Dad. Drawing from conversations with more than 100 successful fathers, Derek and Adam share powerful lessons on what it means to lead with intention at home and at work. The discussion explores the realities of modern fatherhood, especially for entrepreneurs and high achievers who are striving to balance career ambitions with family responsibilities. Derek and Adam discuss the inspiration behind the REBL Dads community, their annual gatherings on Necker Island with Richard Branson, and the insights that emerged from interviewing fathers from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Listeners will learn why intentional presence emerged as the most common trait among successful dads, how family values and communication can strengthen relationships, and why legacy is about far more than financial success. The conversation also touches on mentorship, vulnerability, work-life integration, and practical ways fathers can create meaningful moments with their children. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, leader, or simply someone striving to make a greater impact in the lives of those you love, this episode offers actionable insights and heartfelt stories that will inspire you to show up more intentionally every day.
