  • Rites of Passage Are Critical for Kids: Here's How to Create One
    2026/05/25

    Hunting lions. Camping outdoors alone. Whatever happened to rites of passage? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about why creating milestone moments matters for kids as they mature into adulthood.

    Why This Matters
    Modern kids may be missing out on meaningful transitions into adulthood.

    Key Takeaways

    • Rites of passage help kids develop identity, courage, responsibility, and belonging.
    • Modern milestones often happen passively, but meaningful growth usually requires challenge and intentionality.
    • Kids build confidence when they overcome hard things and are recognized for their growth and maturity.

    Practical Tips for Dads

    1. Ask yourself what kind of adult you want your child to become when they leave your home.

    2. Create intentional experiences, challenges, or ceremonies that help shape courage, resilience, and responsibility.

    3. Celebrate growth and maturity when your child overcomes something difficult or reaches a new stage of life.

  • Taking Initiative in Your Marriage: Step Up Before You Are Asked
    2026/05/18

    He thinks he’s helping. She feels like she’s carrying everything. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster to unpack why so many couples miss each other when it comes to initiative—and what dads can do to step up in ways that actually build connection.

    Why This Matters

    When dads take initiative at home, it strengthens partnership, reduces stress, and builds deeper connection with both their spouse and kids.

    Key Takeaways

    • The real issue isn’t just physical tasks—it’s the unseen mental and emotional load many wives carry.
    • Initiative isn’t about doing more—it’s about communicating presence, awareness, and partnership.
    • Small, consistent actions—like emotional check-ins and owning responsibilities—can transform the tone of a home.

    Practical Tips for Dads

    1. Check in intentionally: Slow down, ask meaningful questions, and listen without trying to fix everything.

    2. Own a lane: Take full responsibility for a part of family life—don’t just “help,” lead it.

    3. Go first in repair: After conflict, take initiative to reconnect and reset the relationship.

  • Am I Sharenting?: The Dangers of Oversharing Online
    2026/05/11

    Posting photos of your kids feels harmless—but what if there’s more at stake than we realize? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about “sharenting,” why we do it, and how to know if we’ve gone too far.

    Why This Matters
    How dads share their kids’ lives online shapes their children’s privacy, identity, and future relationship with social media.

    Key Takeaways
    • “Sharenting” is common—most parents do it—but few stop to consider their true motivation.
    • Sharing can build connection and preserve memories, but it can also risk privacy, safety, and future embarrassment.
    • Kids are watching how we post, and our habits will shape how they use social media someday.

    Practical Tips for Dads

    1. Pause before posting and ask: “Why am I sharing this—and who is it really for?”

    2. Protect your child’s privacy by limiting identifiable details like location, school, or routines.

    3. Involve your kids in conversations about what should and shouldn’t be shared online.
