🟫 Leading As A Father Without Losing Yourself | Kenyada Meadows & Bryan Ward | Ep. 324

👉 In this episode of the Dad Up Podcast, I sit down with Kenya Meadows,

👉 Kenyada Meadows believes the old model of dominance, control, and self-sacrifice is broken and it’s costing men their families, their health, and their humanity.

👉 Kenyada is a financial services executive, governance expert, board member, and leadership coach with over 25 years leading audit, risk, and compliance across some of the world’s most demanding Wall Street institutions.

👉 He’s a Harvard Business School alumnus, author, and Master Certified Executive Coach, holding CPA, CIA, and CFE credentials.

👉 Kenyada mastered the traditional playbook, outworking, outlasting, outperforming, until life forced a reckoning.

👉 As senior leadership responsibilities collided with fatherhood and caring for an ailing parent, he confronted the hidden cost of success and questioned whether well-being could survive on the margins.

👉 That turning point led him to develop The New Alpha, a powerful framework built on three pillars: Home, Work, and Self.

👉 This approach redefines leadership through balance, emotional integrity, and presence, where vulnerability becomes strength and wholeness becomes the true measure of success.

👉 Today, we’re talking about how men can lead with purpose, show up fully at home, and succeed at work, without losing themselves in the process.

👉 Follow the Dad Up Podcast for more conversations on fatherhood, leadership, and becoming the man your family needs.

🎙️ Welcome to a new episode of the Dad Up Podcast!

🟫 The Mozy Story | Charlie Sherts & Bryan Ward | Ep. 322

👉 In this episode of the Dad Up Podcast, I’m joined by Charlie Sherts, a seasoned medical device engineer and inventor with over 20 years of experience bringing innovative products to market.

👉 But Charlie’s most meaningful invention didn’t start in a lab, it started on the sidelines of his kids’ outdoor sports games, watching his own mother shiver through cold, windy afternoons just to support her grandkids.

👉 That moment sparked the creation of Mozy, a patented, weatherproof thermal wrap that uses the laws of heat transfer and thermodynamics to keep you up to 500% warmer than traditional blankets, without batteries, cords, or external heat sources.

👉 Drawing from his deep background in medical device engineering, Charlie designed Mozy to be:

• ​ Safe (no external power or electronics)
• ​ Reliable (durable and weatherproof)
• ​ Intuitive (30-second setup)
• ​ Simple (powered by your own body heat)

👉 Mozy has since been featured in Rolling Stone, Outside Magazine, and Today Show, proving that some of the most impactful innovations are born from deeply personal family moments.

👉 This conversation dives into fatherhood, problem-solving, empathy, and what happens when dads use their skills not just to build products, but to build legacies.

👉 Follow the Dad Up Podcast for more conversations on fatherhood, leadership, and becoming the man your family needs.
