Welcome to the very first episode of the DadCo Podcast — where the laughs are loud, the stories are real, and the mission is simple: build a community where dads feel seen, heard, and encouraged.

In this pilot episode, Dustin and Thomas introduce the heart behind DadCo, share how their friendship began, and explain why they believe dads need a stronger voice and community. From hilarious banter to deeply personal testimony, this episode sets the tone for everything to come.

Pull up a chair — the DadCo community starts now.
