A man helping men
For too long as men, we were going it alone with no guardrails or guidance. Trial and error can be a teacher, at best, not the most efficient teacher. It’s apparent that Larry cares and has much to share directly and through his guests that can help men. I encourage both to listen to shorten their learning and women to better understand the men you care about.

Dad Edge is great for moms, too!
I appreciate the way Larry advocates for fathers to be their strongest, happiest and best selves so they can guide their families to do the same. As a mom, I find his guests and topics applicable to my role in the family, as well.

Must Listen for Dad's
Hey, being a Dad is not easy. In fact, if you are being thoughtful and wanting to do it right, it can feel downright impossible. Add in the masculine need to be a lone wolf and do it yourself, and fatherhood is a recipe for frustration. This podcast will help you feel heard without ever saying a word, because dads just like us are going through the same struggles. That alone is worth the listen, but the tools to make yourself a better father and husband are invaluable. There are plenty of dad podcasts out there that are…I’ll be kind and say less than useful. This one is head and shoulders above the rest. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen! Your kids will thank you.

Life changing!!!!
After an eye opening talk I had with my 19yr old daughter, she opened my eyes to a lot of mistakes I have made as a father, I found this podcast. I listen to religiously. Although I can’t currently afford to become a member of the dad edge alliance. This show is changing my life on a day basis. THANKS Larry!!

Dad Edge levels up Dad confidence
What Larry and team are doing with this podcast is helping so many of us Fathers grow in our confidence to handle our business as the men our children need us to be.

The real deal
This is the first review I’ve ever written for a podcast. I’ve listened to Larry’s podcast for 4 years and finally joined the DEA 4 months ago. The content is always relevant, actionable, and at times raw. In a recent episode Larry gives more detail about a season of winter in his life where a knee injury cascaded a victim mindset. His detail and vulnerability hit me in the heart and I felt like he was speaking directly to me. I’m actually recovering from a shoulder injury and experienced some of the same challenges as Larry. The message was well received for me personally and helped remind me that we all have different struggles and have different capacities to deal with them. Health is foundational for me so I’m very sensitive to challenges around health. The message I’ve gotten from Larry and my time in the DEA is to do the proactive work to build resiliency. Also the lone wolf mindset doesn’t work. Find a good pack and lean into your pack. Be ready to have others lean into you. That’s how we thrive rather than just survive.

Game changer
Listening to The Dad Edge has been revolutionary for me as a husband and father. Larry Hagner tackles REAL issues and equips men from every walk of life to be better. The insights that Larry shares and those he stands up by having incredible guests share their wisdom accompany me week in and week out as I seek to be the best version of myself. Do yourself a favor: go deep. Listen. Learn. Examine yourself. And ENGAGE in the ongoing community through the Alliance. You won’t regret it.

Best show for Dads
This show can and will change your life if you lean in to what they share from interviewing many high profile, successful business owners, dads, husbands and leaders. Honest, raw advice with lots of value add to anyone willing to learn and grow, mentally, spiritually, physically while being a better husband and father at the same time. A+

Such an amazing resource
The Dad Edge has been an amazing resource to have in such uncertain times that we find ourselves as our families grow. Larry’s delivery of useful content speaks to all men wanting to maximize fatherhood and family potential. Men were not given a blueprint on how to successfully navigate marriage and fatherhood. Having The Dad Edge content to reference has been a game changer in my life. Hoping more men can find there way to this as well. Thank you Larry and The Dad Edge

Solid
Good advice but we need more Uncle Joe and fewer Wednesday reruns.

We need an Edge!
Thank you Dad Edge for providing us the edge in so many areas of our lives. Larry so often shares personal experiences that align with a instance in my life. The advice is often on-time and applicable to the day. Keep up the good work brother! Note: The episode with Ryan Michler was absolutely genius!

Absolutely just amazing is an understatement
I’ve been a dad for three years. 3 as a step dad and a year and a half as a dad (so 3 as a dad). I started running to better myself a month ago, I started by listening to David goggins (still recommend him), but this podcast motivates me to no belief. I grew up without a dad, so having children is a massive moment for me (every moment I get is a gift with them). This podcast teaches me to continue being a better person, a better dad, and a better spouse! This podcast has helped me adjust things on my end that nobody would’ve ever told me, but definitely needed to be adjusted. I appreciate you guys more than you imagine!

Amazing alliance of men and great interviews
I’ve been listening for a long time and the podcasts and interviews keep getting better and better. There are other dad/husband/man podcasts out there, but I keep coming back here because Larry takes his similar guests to another level. He asks great questions that will get you a deeper insight about what makes him and his guests tick. Larry is a believer and I love watching and listening to his spiritual growth and walk in faith. I’ve joined the Alliance and I’m all in to be a better, husband, father, and man.

Prepping to be a father
I hope to become a father next year so I thought I'd switch up some of my podcast listening and gave this a shot. I've found the marriage and relationship related episodes very helpful. Larry's recent solo episodes are well-worth listening to. I appreciate that it's not interrupted with A LOT of mid-roll ads!
JRoseland
Hopeful dad
Thanks to the Dad Edge, I’ve transformed from the angry, burned out, tired dad. To a much more empathetic, happy and healthy dad. Sometimes it just takes listening to others, too correct small problems that make a big difference. I am truly grateful for all the advice from every guest as well as from Larry. Keep up the great work.

A must-listen!
The Dad Edge is an absolute gem - each episode is filled with valuable insights, practical tips, and actionable advice. No matter the topic, you’ll always take away something valuable when you tune in. Highly recommend giving it a listen!

Fantastic content
This is a gold standard podcast for dads and men in general. Always love listening to what Larry has to share.

Cover looks like Ed Norton! Life is a fight, sometimes with yourself more than with anything else coming at you in life. Good job on sobriety, I’m also in a very relatable story which thanks for sharing yours. Great podcast and lineup is always great thanks for all you do
shadow listener
Great Podcast, corny intro.
Just fast forward 1 minute you will be fine. I won’t even reduce it from 5 stars but we don’t need this copy cat style intro of other popular men’s podcasts. It isn’t working. Just start the show. Great show by the way.

Game changing podcast
I found out about Larry’s podcast because he was a guest on another podcast that I listen to (unleash the man within) Dad edge has changed my approach to being a father and husband completely. Game changer period.

Awesome podcast for Dads
The Dad Edge is a tremendous resource for all of us dads who are doing our best for our families and ourselves. Larry has a mix of guests that are always willing to help with their own spin on life. I recommend this podcast highly as it has offered me such insight and inspiration for what I’m doing.

First Time listener
Guys- I’m a soon to be new Dad and stumbled upon your podcast while looking for “soon to be a Dad” content. My first episode was the Nikki Sixx interview and I was blown away! I was in high school in the 80’s so am very family with MC … what an inspiring message. I can’t wait to continue to listen to my new favorite podcast

Hardcore equipment…
I’ve been a part of the Alliance for about 6 months. Starting out I wasn’t motivated to participate in the mastermind calls. Then one day it clicked. I’m investing in my own growth and betterment as a father. There’s skin in the game. So I may as well get the most from this investment in myself. Because of that there has been a shift in mindset from what can I get out of this to what can I bring to the table to make a difference in the lives of my fellow Alliance members and by extension the men in my work and family circles. This mission to be better started for me much like it did for Larry Hagner. In 2018 I was a stay at home father of triplets and a newborn. It was a lot to handle. I failed huge. Thanks to the Alliance I have learned how to turn those failing moments into learning experiences. I’ve become a man who is no longer stuck in the mire of self condemnation. Today I am a warrior, clothed and equipped with tools to be the best father God has created me to be. The Alliance has helped me find my core values and understanding who I am as a father, and man. Family is core to who I am. I seek to love, support, and provide for them in ways they need and desire. I am courageous in the face of opposition. A wall to my enemies, and a rock to those who lean on me. I love God, family and country at all times. I seek opportunities for growth and development. Personal, spiritual, mental, physical, financial, and emotional well being are important so I can show up and be the best for man for my family. Thank you Dad Edge for making a difference in my life.

Life Changing
This podcast will change your life. I found it after spending 5 years telling myself “everything’s fine.” It wasn’t. My marriage was decaying and I was growing resentful and bitter. In the 7 months since I’ve listened, my physical and emotional connection with my wife has skyrocketed, I’ve become attentive and present to my children, I’ve lost 20 pounds focusing on my fitness, and most surprising I’ve had complete strangers open up and confide in me. This podcast will offer you practical tools to transform yourself and your influence on others. Beyond the podcast it will offer you a community of humble brothers who are walking the same road with you. If you’re stuck in the rut of fatherhood and feeling disconnected from your bride. I was right there too. Take the plunge…a legendary life awaits!

If you've been struggling with your marriage, kids, job, etc or even just want a community of like minded people - The Dad Edge Podcast & the Facebook group are an absolute must. I've been a member going on 4.5 years and without a doubt it's the best group for Dads I've came across so far.

Who kidnapped my husband?
Over the last year, my husband and I had an extremely preterm baby who spent 3 months in the NICU. We processed things very differently and, while we still love each other very much, started to find resentment and distance in our relationship. Then one day he came home, gave me a big kiss, and said that we were going to get better together. He started talking about this podcast. He has been more present, attentive to our family’s emotional needs, and understanding of my world. Wives, sneak this in to your husbands downloads! You will be glad you did!

Here’s to good days
When I first joined I thought it’s was a scam. Until I actually got a email from Larry himself asking for a smart goal at that point I had no idea what he was talking about.. till i he broke it down for me and I joined the dojo and I really is a brotherhood I tell these Guys things I’ve kept locked away for years..they help me look at it from a different set of eyes and a different mind set.. I owe thanks to my group on Tuesdays and the Thursday call looking forward to progressing more with this group of guys.. thanks guys for all the work u all do.

Powerful, challenging, authentic
I grew up in a broken home, and my dad was great, but had his issues (as we all do). This show has helped me and challenged me to grow as a husband, father, and man that my wife, daughter and friends deserve . Larry is genuinely authentic about not just life in general, but also his own personal life and he brings on guests that do the same. I recommend the show to anyone who is willing to be challenged to grow.

Life Adjuster
I found Dad Edge about 2 1/2 years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first child. Value alignment on many levels and has impacted my life in so many ways. From introducing me to F3 (a free men’s workout group that I eventually led an expansion of where I live) to actually becoming a part of the alliance and spending 15 weeks with Larry in a Marriage Mastermind. It’s been an awesome ride so far!

Helped to put my game on another level
This podcast and movement has been integral in helping me to level up in my connection to all aspects of fatherhood. I have not listened to an episode yet where I didn’t pick up a tip or trick to become more aware and conscious of my actions around my family. It has also opened up doors to make connections with other men who have gone through and are going through similar challenges, which makes life less daunting and goals more attainable. Community is everything, and connecting to this group has been a life changer!

Tools to be a better man, father, and husband
Larry covers a variety of topics with experts in their fields, those working to be better, and everyone in between. The Q&A sessions are real questions asked from everyday life, with feedback provided from other men who have been through the same situation. There’s something for every man in the long list of topics. It’s not just for men. Wives and mothers would certainly get some insight on what men think about and how we handle situations. Check out the alliance if you the next level of learning and growth.

Authentic Podcast. Hard to beat the Dads Edge.
The Dad Edge Podcast episodes are outstanding. The host does an excellent job every time. He is real, genuine and extremely honest when it comes to issues that men deal with every day, but most are afraid to admit. He tackles a variety of issues and shares his struggles as well. Not only does he do a great job as an interviewer, he nails the listener role as well giving his guests the chance to finish their thoughts. Something that is often a lost art among podcasters and interviewers these days. I’d highly recommend the Dad Edge to any man that is willing to dig in. I find a nugget or two in every episode at least. Thanks Larry for following your vision, it’s serving men worldwide. This is a real blessing to so many. Peace!

What Larry has built is nothing short of amazing. He gets top notch guests that deliver tons of valuable information to help you level up as a husband and as a father. This podcast and community changed the trajectory my life. Every man is there to pick his brother up, offer up encouragement, be vulnerable and hold each other accountable. I'm grateful to have found Larry and this podcast and become part of this movement. Life hits hard guys. This podcast will equip you with better tools and will allow you to show up better for the ones you love. Highly recommended and an absolute MUST listen for any man! -Mike Lee

Use to be the best podcast
Dad Edge (or Good Dad Project) use to be the best podcast on any platform for Men thriving to be better husbands, fathers, and men. In the last few years, Larry seemed to stop being the vulnerable man trying to help us to now he is trying to build his reach/platform. This has lowered the quality of content and he is further away from the ground floor or his movement. If you want phenomenal material listen to his first few years or content. Larry, thanks for the early years. You helped a lot of men!

Great content
There are not many places that a man can go to get this content. It’s powerful.

I look back at my life before the Dad Edge! Now I can’t imagine my life without it!
I’ve been listening to this podcast and a proud member of the Dads Edge Alliance and a call team leader for about 5 years. The guest on this show are awesome! The men in the Dad Edge Mastermind are incredible. I’m blessed to be a part of this movement and brotherhood. There are no coincidences in life. In a rough spot this podcast was recommended to me. Then I found the DEA! Everything started to change! Thank you Larry Hagner! You’re changing lives. My future is bright! Keep it up! - Wiley

Why the profanity
Thirteen minutes into the latest episode, 2 fbombs. This is a clean rated show, and those should be beeped out. If that language were in a movie it would get an R rating

Life changing podcast
I have been an avid listener for three years now. The lessons I have learned have helped make me the man my wife and daughter deserve. I am so very grateful for all the men in the alliance that ask questions on the “winsday” podcast because more often than not they answer questions that I didn’t even know I needed answered. I recommend this podcast to everybody I know.

Such a needed podcast
In a fatherless culture with distorted and inadequate views of what it means to be a man, husband and father, this podcast is a breath of fresh air that feeds the hunger guys are feeling to set a higher standard for themselves and the men around them. Thank you for blazing a trail!
Raise the standard
Growth through community
I started taking in podcast before my son was born and came across the dad edge and the mastermind. The strategies and skills I’ve learned from the guest and men in the mastermind is unmatched. Has changed me in so many ways in a short time and excited for more to come! Larry and everyone, keep breaking barriers. Dads we are changing the world 🤝🏽

The Council of Men
307 days in the Alliance of Men all aimed to improve their focus on what it means to be a Spouse, Father and Friend each of us deserve. I am deeply grateful and honored to work with and among this Tribe of men. The leaders within are true role models in humility, vulnerability and accountability. Thank you Larry and the rest of the men for everything you do to make this magic happen.

Ever evolving experiences
I have been following the Dad Edge for going on three years. I finally pulled the trigger and joined the DEA 3 months ago. Man it’s been a roller coaster but there is not a more humble group of men. I have found a place of belonging where every man is open with each other. It is not the norm today’s society puts on men. We’re all here to be better versions of ourselves and leave a better place behind for our children. A legacy they can be proud of. Thank you to Larry and the education he and his guests give us weekly.

I am truly grateful to be part of the Dad Edge Alliance and have a band of brothers who help pick me up and push me to be better.

I would give 10 stars if I could
Larry has really created such an awesome community of men. As a dad with a 1 year old, and another on the way, Larry makes big topics approachable. I also love the Q&A’s with uncle Joe!! Crowdsourced wisdom in an easy to digest medium. Keep doing what you’re doing Larry, the people love it!

Relatable Content For Dads
So crazy how I can be having a thought one day, and find a podcast that talks directly about that topic! Love this podcast and will keep listening 100%!

The level up starts here
If you want change and are looking for a starting point you came to the right place, but I caution you, you going to find more than that. The podcast will set the tone giving you valuable tools and information for your level up in the world of manhood, fatherhood, being a husband and leader. Once the path is laid out then as I warned you, it’s a full steam ahead train to a new level where you will experience success, and welcome pain! All of which will make you a more capable, confident, and a stronger version of yourself, and for me it started here so enjoy and buckle up.
