#40 - Maximize Your Potential By Living In Reality with Isaac Mass

#40 - Maximize Your Potential By Living In Reality with Isaac Mass

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!

#39 - Supporting Parenting To A Peaceful Divorce with Yaakov Kessler

#39 - Supporting Parenting To A Peaceful Divorce with Yaakov Kessler

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!

#38 - A Son's Perspective On His Parent's Divorce with Eli

#38 - A Son's Perspective On His Parent's Divorce with Eli

In this week's episode, we sit down with none other than Ben's older brother, Eli! Similar in voice only but nothing else to the discernible eye, Ben and Eli take us on a spirited discussion down memory lane. Eli candidly describes how he helped raise Ben and care for their mom during her struggles with raising the children following their parents' separation and divorce. Offering his perspective on the challenges of a child growing up with divorced parents, Eli portrays a complicated relationship with his dad, while at the same time exhibiting peace and understanding that comes with age and experience.


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!

#37 - Ben's Dad Also Wanted To Be An Astronaut?! with Fred Stern

#37 - Ben's Dad Also Wanted To Be An Astronaut?! with Fred Stern

We sit down with none other than Ben's dad, Fred Stern! In an understated fashion, but with an entertaining, wry sense of humor, Fred takes us on a tour of his life through his adventures building rockets, obtaining his pilot's license, and flying his family across the country. We particularly enjoyed Ben's banter with his dad, as they exchanged story after story, giving us real-time insights into the dad-son dynamic.

In his personal life, Fred was divorced while Ben was a baby and has since remarried having fathered another son and raised a step-brother to Ben. Fred offers valuable and experienced insights into his perspective on divorce, why he feels fathers should not remarry while the kids are young, and how it can impact one's ability to fully be present as a dad.

Fred also discusses the excitement of a new relationship but the "baggage" that inevitably comes after the passage of time and how one must learn to accept such baggage to make a second relationship last as he has in his own life. Fred opens up about his feelings over his relationship with Ben's mom and their challenges in communicating both pre and post-divorce.

Finally, while not overly emotional in nature, Fred vulnerably describes how painful it was to hear about Ben's divorce, how he wanted to do anything to help him, and how proud he is of all of Ben's ongoing accomplishments in a touching "Too Dad To Quit" moment.

#35 - Parenting Tips From An American Dad Living In Spain with Jesse Sweed

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!

#34 - Paying For College The Right Way with Brad Baldridge

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!

#33 - Selling Coffee, Stocks, and Spirituality with Gary Miskin

#33 - Selling Coffee, Stocks, and Spirituality with Gary Miskin

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!

#32 - An Author's Leap Of Faith with Yitzchak Jaffe

#32 - An Author's Leap Of Faith with Yitzchak Jaffe

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! All this in one life and...one episode! Contact Us to Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://toodadtoquit.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

#31 - Hockey Playing Dad Shoots For The Stars with Brian Spivak

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.

#30 - From The Cat Walk to Saving The Dead Sea with Ari Leon Fruchter

#30 - From The Cat Walk to Saving The Dead Sea with Ari Leon Fruchter

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!

S2 E1 - From Capitol Records To Garbage Pail Kid Mascot with Sam Gras

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!

Episode 24 - Mastering ADHD To Play Pro Basketball with Ryan Lexer

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!

Episode 16 - Leveling The Legal Playing Field For All Dads with Brian A. Vandiver

In this week's episode, we sit down with Brian A. Vandiver. Brian is an attorney from Arkansas whom, after experiencing the challenges facing divorcing men in obtaining custody, took on the system and bettered it! Brian candidly speaks about his experiences facing opposition from lawyers and judges, shares how he worked with non-profit organizations like The Respondent created by Greg Ellis to make a change, and how other states are following suit. Brian is truly inspirational, proving that you need not take it on the chin from the legal system and that you too, can take action and effect change. In addition to Brian's lobbying efforts, he also provides tips on how to choose a family lawyer, shares how he got through his own divorce, and glows about his happy remarriage and blended family. We also discuss the extreme damage done to men's mental health which too often results in life-threatening situations. We were proud to host someone as articulate and accomplished as Brian, and we are excited to enlighten and empower you with Brian's story!

Episode 15 - The Marathon Runner Taking On The World with Joe Bergovoy

In this week's episode, we sit down with Joe Bergovoy. Following his divorce in 2016, Joe turned his life around, attending and volunteering for seminars of personal development masters such as Tony Robbins, completing all the world's marathon majors, and traveling the world.  All the while, Joe raises his 9-year-old daughter as a single dad and enjoys a wonderfully close relationship with her. After helping other divorced men with their challenges, Joe decided to become a coach to help as many men as he can not just survive but rather thrive post-divorce just as he has.  We had a great time with Joe, his fun personality and enthusiasm for life are infectious. Joe's "take control of your life" attitude was extremely motivating and inspiring to us, as it will be for you! Contact Us to Share Your Story: https://toodadtoquit.com/contact

Episode 3 - Sorry Finance Minister, The Kids Come First with Steven Scheer

We interview Steven Scheer, a journalist with Reuters News Agency for over 26 years. Steven takes us through his journey from a small-town New York sports writer to a powerhouse business reporter, covering the likes of Benjamin Netanyahu, Wayne Gretzky, and business leaders. However, his most important achievement is reporting as a dad to his children, ages 10 and almost 12.  Steven describes how his children come first in his life, and how he cooks and cleans for his children while maintaining a busy professional life. Steven describes how his relationship with his late father influenced his role as a dad to his kids. With understated humility but wry humor, Steven gives us a glimpse into what it takes to persevere through it all. Steven is definitely Too Dad To Quit!
