Dads Who Coach

What if the most important question you asked yourself each morning wasn’t what you need to do, but who you want to be?
In this episode of The Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with Jeff Mull—a leadership, life, and marriage coach who helps people take ownership of their lives by shifting from a mindset of default to one of intentionality.
We talk about:✔️ The difference between doing and being—and how identity is often unknowingly tied to achievement✔️ How to catch yourself in the heat of an argument and return to presence and love✔️ The power of listening (really listening) in marriage✔️ The importance of exploring childhood constructs that limit adult potential✔️ Why pre-marriage coaching might be the best investment couples ever make
Jeff’s story, especially witnessing his parents separate and later reunite, fuels his deep belief in what’s possible—for relationships, leadership, and life.
Huge thanks to Jeff Mull for bringing so much heart, humility, and wisdom to this conversation. 🙌
