In this week's episode, we share our first guest spot on another podcast, the Berry Thoughtful Life podcast with Caneisha Berry. We did not know what to expect, but we were excited to be the first male guests on this extraordinary podcast focused on helping women identify their feelings. We shared why we started the Too Dad To Quit podcast, but the discussion quickly turns into Caneisha being at a loss for words about how honest and vulnerable Ben & Yoel were about their divorce journeys. Something that she says is missing in today's society from culture, social circles, and the media. We were so enlightened by this conversation that we decided our listeners needed to hear it as well.

In this week's episode, we sit down with holistic dog coach and guru Isaac Mass. In an entertaining discussion covering a wide range of topics, Isaac describes his background in the Hasidic world and how he evolved into the man he is today. While not orthodox in the traditional sense, Isaac displays a mastery of ancient Jewish texts, citing one after another to introduce important lessons that we can all learn and grow from. Displaying wisdom beyond his years, Isaac gives his take on why some men are called upon to experience the challenges of divorce and shows maturity in describing how he realized he and his then-wife had evolved but in separate ways, necessitating the break-up, though in a respectful, peaceful manner. We also get into Isaac's approach to working with dogs and how he is able to hone in on a dog's personality to help their owners enjoy their beloved canines. Isaac is clearly a proud dad to 2 boys, gushing over their various character traits and how he leverages their qualities and character traits to bring out the best in each of them. Isaac's high-energy personality is mesmerizing, and we could have kept going for hours had time permitted. If you want to feed off a dynamic, exciting, and vibrant man with much to offer, Isaac's episode is for you. So sit back and enjoy!

In this week's episode, we sit down with divorce support mediator Yaakov Kessler. An excellent listener and articulate communicator, it was immediately clear to us why Yaakov excels at helping couples mediate through the divorce process and avoid the unnecessary wars that often accompany divorce. We covered a range of topics such as personality conflicts, child-rearing, relationships, and even the often-heated topic of Agunot (women who cannot remarry under Jewish law due to not receiving a Jewish divorce). Offering a balanced perspective on things, Yaakov wisely describes how he doesn't look at things from a right or wrong perspective, but rather from what he can do to facilitate the needs of each party to a divorce. For those who think that divorce must be an all-or-nothing combative process, think again. As Yaakov demonstrates, divorce doesn't have to be horrible, and not only can a divorcing couple walk away serenely, but most importantly, the children can benefit from peacefully coexisting parents. It is not impossible and not beyond reach. If this sounds appealing to you, then sit down and listen to the wisdom of Yaakov Kessler!

In a moving tribute to their late brother Phil who died tragically in a motorcycle accident, Eli shares how it impacted his life and how he marks the anniversary of his death every year in a moving tribute with Phil's favorite foods. We also get into Eli's various brushes with potential death and how he always has managed to stay one step ahead. Witty and hilarious, Eli's energy is infectious, and you are sure to walk away not only thoroughly entertained by Eli's candor but also enriched from Eli's perspective as a child of divorce. Enjoy!

We sit down with larger-than-life retired SWAT team negotiator, motivational speaker, and author, Terry Tucker. In a spirited discussion that could have gone on for hours, Terry entertained us with fascinating tales from his time as a SWAT team negotiator, and his involvement in athletics including playing alongside Michael Jordan in college. His views on communicating with curiosity and in simple language, and his perseverance in the face of very real health challenges he has endured. Articulate and energetic, Terry shares how solicitations for his advice resulted in the culmination of his thoughts packaged in a book he wrote entitled, "Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life". Terry also dives into his views about divorce and what one can do to better himself in the process. In addition, Terry is a proud dad, beaming over his daughter's resilience in overcoming learning challenges to graduate from the Air Force Academy and joining the elite Space Force, and emotionally sharing his "Too Dad to Quit Moment" with us. Terry's job is to motivate, and he certainly accomplishes it in this episode! Contact Us to Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://toodadtoquit.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We sit down with the energetic and enthusiastic teacher/instructor, Jesse Sweed. Originally from Pennsylvania, Jesse talks about his travels to far-off countries such as South Korea, eventually settling down (for now) in exotic Spain. Jesse is a proud dad to 2 children and enjoys an excellent co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife. We pick Jesse's brain on all sorts of topics including how he includes "why statements" in his journal to motivate productivity, how he suggests dealing with mistakes and guilt, how to accept yourself and relate positively with others, and much more. Jesse also discusses various parenting hacks that any parent listening can easily apply to their own interactions with their children. What we loved most about this episode is just how many tips Jesse packed into one episode and in such a simple and easy-to-understand manner! We walked away feeling inspired by Jesse, and are confident you will as well. So, be prepared to learn and be inspired with us, and as Jesse suggests, don't forget to grab a pen and paper so that you don't miss a single tip!

We sit down with financial planner and college funding consultant, Brad Baldridge. Brad specializes in late-stage college funding planning, and with many of our audience having children going off to college in the coming years, we were excited to land an expert of Brad's caliber. In addition to providing the ins and outs of understanding college finances as it applies to families, Brad also describes how he assists students from divorced families entering college and how multiple single-income households can affect college tuition, grants, and more. In case you are the type who avoids discussing finances, you'll be refreshingly surprised to listen to Brad make things interesting and informative such that you can understand the basics and be motivated to take action to help your child maximize savings and make wise financial planning decisions. So, grab your pen and paper and sit down for an informative discussion that could save you and your children a ton of money!

We sit down with 6' 7", physical and spiritual giant, Gary Miskin! From humble beginnings selling coffee to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Gary describes how he turned his fortunes around by maximizing his strengths and espousing honesty in all his business dealings. Springboarding from that discussion, we get into Gary's difficult time during divorce and how he turned to seek spirituality to find strength and meaning in life. The secret, Gary discovered, is going inward, having the guts to do the inner work to manifest outer greatness. But you can only fully understand that concept when you listen to Gary describe it in his own words! Gary has since remarried and is the proud dad to 7 children ages 2-18 whom he clearly adores and takes pride in. This is an episode packed with spiritual wisdom from someone who's been in the trenches and has come out the other side shining. You're sure to come away from it as energized and uplifted as we were!

We sit down with a man who's lived many lives, Yitzchak Jaffe. In an honest and articulate manner, Yitzchak shares his journey from studying to become a reform Rabbi in New York to finding himself in the hub of ultra-orthodox Judaism in Bnei Brak, Israel, to returning to America to try life in Kansas and ultimately to settling back in Israel, this time in Jerusalem. During that journey, Yitzchak got married, had 4 children, divorced, and remarried! Recognizing how much of an impact his divorce had on his own life and wanting to help others in similar situations, Yitzchak wrote a book about his experiences, "You're Doing Everything Wrong: Dating, Marriage, and Divorce: Advice from Deep within the Trenches". If you think that title is packed, then you need to see the actual book which is filled with insights and advice from someone who's lived it. In addition, we get into Yitzchak's epiphany about his love and admiration for his own parents following a harrowing life-threatening experience, how he embraces his role as a dad and his love of skydiving!

We sit down with the super positive ball of energy, Brian Spivak. The podcast opens with a spirited discussion of Brian's love for playing ice hockey in the Middle East. Brian also shares a touching story about how he scored the equivalent of a Stanley Cup-winning, Game 7 overtime goal in front of his daughters! Off the ice, Brian shares stories from his exotic travels at sea, sailing with a flotilla of sailboats to far-flung countries such as Greece and Sicily. Away from Brian's sports and travel, Brian is a successful technology businessman and describes how one encounter with a manager changed his outlook on his personal and professional life. Honest and authentic, Brian explains how he decided to accept the reality of his divorce and utilizes his time post-divorce to grow and develop himself into the person and dad he is today. With excellent mantras and affirmations that anyone can apply to his/her own life to grow and succeed, Brian imparts real-life, experienced wisdom that you will not find anywhere else.

We sit down with fashion designer turned entrepreneur/visionary/philanthropist Ari Leon Fruchter. You will hear about how Ari founded his own fashion company, featuring his own designs on runways around the world while secretly committed to his faith. Ari describes how he moved to Israel, married a local Israeli woman, moved back to America to work for Microsoft, and then back to Israel with 2 children where he found himself divorced and struggling to find his place. However, Ari did not quit, instead, he found himself falling in love with the arts and using his passion and connections to bring famed artist Spencer Tunick to the Dead Sea for multiple nude photo shoots that would result in having the Dead Sea declared a wonder of the world. Ari is now also raising funds to open the Dead Sea Museum and continues to bring awareness to keeping the Dead Sea, well, alive! Away from work and philanthropy, Ari maintains an excellent relationship with his two sons, introducing them to experiences like backstage meetings with rock stars, burning man festivals, and synagogue services with a flair! Ari pulls no punches about the challenges that divorced men experience but proves that we can all persevere when we put our minds to it and take action. So, sit back and get inspired by Ari Fruchter!

In this week's episode, we sit down with holistic health coach practitioner Eric Mabie. Eric's energy and personality were evident from the get-go, as he described his approach to health, fitness, finances, spirituality, and so much more. With quotable quotes and infectious enthusiasm, it was easy to see why Eric has accomplished so much success in his field. It was also clear that Eric not only talks the talk but also walks the walk, keeping up to date with the latest in personal development literature, reading each book a minimum of 6 times, some books over 200 times each, and then implementing what he reads into his life so that he can model the behavior for his clients. In addition to his profession, Eric gushed over his love for spending time with his children on the golf course, and how he intentionally ensures to maintain an excellent relationship with their mom. For anyone looking to be inspired by an upbeat, positive dad who's thriving in life, this episode is for you! Contact Us to Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://toodadtoquit.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this week's episode, we sit down with another one of Ben's high school buddies, Sam Gras. A self-professed comic-book-collecting, music-obsessing "nerd". Sam takes us on a tour of his fascinating life including how he finagled his way into the music industry by promoting such bands as Radiohead and Yellowcard and then teaming up with the artists of the famed Garbage Pail Kids collection to create his own mascot which he proudly showcases at ComicCon and cosplay conventions around the U.S. Sam is also a proud dad to his daughter, the inspiration for his cosplay activities, and not only enjoys an excellent relationship with her but also with his ex-wife. They even attended the same cross fit gym with his ex-wife and new husband and had his ex-wife's son hang out at his place with his daughter. Sam's passion and enthusiasm to take charge of his life and follow his passions are truly inspiring, and if there was ever a dad who's "Too Dad to quit" it's Sam Gras!

In this week's episode, we sit down with former professional basketball player, Ryan Lexer. Although he stands at a towering 6' 9", Ryan was not a natural-born basketball player and describes how an inspiring talk from coach Jim Kenny who believed in him turned around his life and led him all the way from Philadelphia to the elite professional basketball league in Israel. We also get into Ryan's struggles with ADHD and how he overcame this challenge to thrive not only on the basketball court but also in his post-basketball career as head of a growing business development department for a Canadian ad tech company. Ryan also proudly talks about his initiative, PeacePlayers International, an NGO using sports to promote peace, which he co-founded and of which he sits on the board. Away from business and charitable endeavors, Ryan is a divorced dad to two teenagers and eloquently beams over his "Too Dad To Quit" moments with each of them. We enjoyed Ryan's wit and humility, were inspired by his understated commitment to excellence on and off the court, and are positive you will be as well!

Meet Ben and Yoel, the hosts of the Too Dad To Quit Podcast. Ben and Yoel explain where this idea came from and what they hope to accomplish. The Too Dad to Quit Podcast is being launched to inspire and give strength to fellow dads going through the lengthy and often painful process of divorce. We will be hosting dads that have stayed involved in their children's lives and hearing their stories. 50%+ of marriages end in divorce and 70% of divorces in recent years are initiated by the woman. That leaves a lot of men that will be caught off guard and will need support. Contact Us to Share Your Story: https://toodadtoquit.com/contact
