The Better Dad Project

About The Better Dad Project

Unapologetically weird... sorry. Hey, I’m Jordan! Girl Dad, strength coach, and professional overthinker. This podcast is me learning out loud: training, nutrition, coaching, parenting sometimes... and the random rabbit holes I can’t help but nerd out on. Welcome to my conversations with equally nerdy friends, physios, coaches, and whoever else is down to chat. Not always lifting, and definitely not always serious. Welcome to the Party!
