Listener Reviews

Really enjoyed the episode with Alan Lazaros. His story of following traditional path and still filling like something was missing really stood out. The wake-up call he experienced at 26 adds so much depth to the conversation around meaningful work and fulfillment. Definitely worth a listen.

The work-life balance episode included a lot of discussion that i really needed. Thanks for helping me feel better on this journey.

What an important show for men - and women - of all ages and stages.

I love to hear all things parenting and anytime there is someone out there helping us be better parents is a great thing! Although I’m a mom this is such a great podcast for dads and anyone wanting to be a better parent! Well done!

What a fantastic and unique resource for dads out there looking for ways to lean into healthy masculinity and support one another. Michael is a trailblazer bringing this community together.

I think this is a great podcast for dads seeking ways to find alignment in their lives.

A powerful reminder that being a great man and father goes beyond the workplace. This podcast brings real perspective on balance, purpose, and what truly matters at home.

This is a great podcast the reminds us that there’s more to life than work. If you have kids this is a valuable reminder that also teaches you how to do it.

As a host of a podcast for moms, I love learning this podcast is out there! I’m going to be sharing this with my moms as they often ask for recommendations for their partners. Yay and thank you! Susie (host of the Love Your Life Show?

My husband and I enjoy listening to Michael’s episodes. There is always something shared on the episode that creates conversation for us.

As a busy dad trying to build a meaningful career without missing what matters at home, this podcast really resonates.There’s no shortage of content for moms balancing it all (which is great), but it’s refreshing to hear a dad speak directly to other dads about the real trade-offs and pressures we face. Gap to Gig, hosted by Michael Jacobs, brings in diverse voices and practical insights that actually stick.I’ve walked away with ideas to grow professionally without sacrificing my sanity, better tools to protect my mental health, and simple reminders about how to be more physically and emotionally present with my family. It’s not preachy. It’s honest. There’s humor, relatable stories, and advice that feels doable in real life — not just on paper.If you’re a dad trying to build meaningful work and still make it home in time for dinner (and actually be there), this one’s worth a listen.

What a cool podcast. I loved the advice about getting relaunched and navigating HR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
