Intro: Dad Vibes - The Beginning

According to the urban dictionary, the definition of Dad Vibes is the palpable feeling that a man is a Dad, he just seems like a Dad.  The Dad Vibes podcast is about just that, being a Dad.  Fatherhood is one of the most amazing things a man can go through.  But it has its challenges too.  Join Mike Ragsdale for an insightful, raw, and unfiltered perspective on being a Dad - the highs, the lows, the serious, the sarcastic, the vulnerable, the logic and the illogic, and the smart and just straight up dumb stuff.  These things, and more, are all part of the deal, whether you like it or not, and that’s OK.  For you Dads out there in the "trenches" right now, may Mike’s Dad-passion and experience help you with your journey through fatherhood.  It can be the most rewarding, happy, frustrating, and tiring thing, all in the same 2 minute span.  It’s a lot.  And it’s not just about the kids, it’s about your partner too.  For the Moms, may Dad Vibes help you answer the question "what the hell is going on inside his head?"  SO LET’S GET TO IT!
