š Episode 200 ā My Dad, My Inspiration | Dave Chapman
Welcome to a very special milestone episode of the Good Humans PodcastāEpisode 200!
After five years, over 850,000 downloads, and some of the most incredible conversations with health experts, Olympic gold medalists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and changemakersā¦ I just want to say thank you. Iām beyond grateful for every single guest whoās given their time and energy, and for youāour amazing communityāfor tuning in each week.
Creating this podcast has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my life. Iāve edited and produced every episode myself, and while itās been a massive undertaking, I wouldnāt change it for the world. The messages I receive from listeners about how an episode helped themāthose make it all worth it.
To celebrate this milestone, Iām joined by someone very close to my heartāmy dad, Dave Chapman.
My dad has been my biggest inspiration. In this raw and heartfelt episode, we go deep into his life journey: growing up, fatherhood, grief, sobriety, and what it was like raising me and my sisters. It's a side of my storyāand hisāthat Iāve never shared this openly before.
Fun fact: Dad was very nervous about doing thisā¦ we had to record it three times! So if you enjoy this episode, please send me a messageāIād love to pass it on to him.
š§ In this episode, we explore:
- My dadās upbringing and life lessons
- His journey through grief, family separation, and sobriety
- What fatherhood has meant to him
