04: Embracing the Cookout, While Avoiding the Burnout ft. The Grill Dads
Manage episode 426773653 series 3579368
For today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host and former drummer of “Maroon 5” Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard to welcome two very special guests: Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey, food entertainers better known by their joint branding persona “The Grill Dads”.
The warmth of the Grill Dads is felt right away, owing in part to the long held relationship between Dusick and Mark, a friendship that stretches back to the Maroon 5 Touring Days. The four men have a touching and humorous conversation that finds its way into some really vulnerable areas, including divorce, masculinity, mental health, imposter syndrome, addiction, social media, and more.
Mark and Fey discuss the challenges of presenting themselves as “Lighthouse Dads” while maintaining strong real-life relationships with their families, as well as the burn-out that can be associated with having as many “Irons in the Fire” as they do.
It’s a conversation that shows the depth of the intelligence, business acumen, and self-awareness that the Grill Dads carry beyond their front-facing “Idiot” persona. No doubt you’ll hear a little bit of your own experiences reflected back at you through their discussion.
