In this episode of Dads, Deals & Dumbbells: The Podcast, Joe and Dr. Quill sit down with Coach Craig Kaufman (aka Coach CK, aka “Grass Dad”) — a dad of three, entrepreneur, fighter, and founder of Unshakable Fathers. From MMA cages to CrossFit boxes to raising kids who compete at elite levels, Craig shares what it takes to raise badasses without losing your mind.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Fatherhood: Coaching vs. parenting, raising athletes, and hilarious dad fails.

Business & Entrepreneurship: Building a gym with your spouse, faith-powered leadership, and what it means to be a true connector.

Fitness & Health: Daily routines (ACV, prayer, perfect aminos), staying competitive in your 40s, and why faith + fitness form the foundation for everything.

Dad Hack of the Week: Craig’s “Core 4” system — God, plan, move, fuel.

Deal or Dumbbell: Boarding school, cold plunges, dad bods, CrossFit after 40 — Craig calls them as he sees them.

Takeaways: Don’t drift. Lead with purpose. Build your body, your business, and your family.

If you’re a dad trying to juggle faith, family, fitness, and finances, this one will light a fire under you.
