Meet the Dad Livin' Hosts

Dad Livin' Host

Doug

Doug, the quick-witted 39-year-old behind Dad Livin', blends humor, honesty, and real dad energy into every episode. A marketing exec and full-time family guy in St. Louis, he’s most at home juggling fantasy football, splash fights, and lukewarm drinks by the pool. With a love for golf, baseball, and great storytelling—Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey being a favorite—Doug brings a laid-back, relatable voice that makes Dad Livin' feel like a hangout with your funniest friend who just happens to be covered in sunscreen and Goldfish crumbs.

Whether he’s closing on properties or coaching a backyard soccer game, Brian keeps things real—laid-back but always moving forward. His mix of sharp business sense and no-nonsense dad energy makes him the guy you want on your team, whether you're talking real estate or just sharing a beer and some guitar riffs.

Bryan

Bryan, the always-smiling corporate exec with big energy and even bigger playlists, brings a mix of hustle and fun to everything he does. A husband, proud dad of three, and lifelong St. Louis guy, Bryan’s just as comfortable in the boardroom as he is cruising the neighborhood in his golf cart, music up and kids in tow. From The Urge to Lil Wayne, his soundtrack is as wide-ranging as his stories—usually told from the porch with family close and a laugh never far off. With a life-of-the-party spirit and down-to-earth vibe, Bryan’s the guy who keeps things moving, makes sure everyone’s having a good time, and never takes himself too seriously.

Mike

Mike, the no-nonsense police officer with a D1 hockey past, brings grit, heart, and a St. Louis edge to life on and off duty. Known as “Ogre” to those who know him best, Mike is a husband, proud dad of two, and the kind of guy who never turns down a cold Coors Light. Whether he's patrolling the streets or lacing up his skates for an old-school pickup game, Mike keeps things straightforward—family first, work hard, and always bring your best shot. It’s that mix of discipline, loyalty, and laid-back dad energy that makes him someone you can count on, whether you're in a tight spot or just kicking back at the end of the day.

About us

What is Dad Livin’ all about?

Dad Livin’ is where fatherhood meets fun. It's a podcast hosted by four best friends who happen to be dads—and happen to be hilarious. We talk about everything from diaper blowouts to high school drama, balancing work with bedtime stories, and how not to lose your mind in the process. It’s raw, real, and ridiculously relatable.

Who should listen to Dad Livin’?

If you're a dad, a soon-to-be dad, a dad-adjacent human, or someone who’s ever wondered what goes on inside the chaotic brain of a father—this show’s for you. Whether you're raising toddlers or teens, or just trying not to step on LEGOs barefoot, you're in the right place.

Is Dad Livin’ funny or serious?

Yes. We serve up equal parts gut-busting laughs and gut-check moments. Think of it like a dad joke wrapped in life advice, covered in spit-up and sprinkled with real talk. We keep it honest, we keep it light, and we don’t shy away from the tough stuff.

How often are new episodes released?

New episodes drop bi-weekly—because let’s face it, something ridiculous happens to a dad every single day so we have plenty of stories to tell. Subscribe and you’ll never miss a meltdown (ours or the kids').
