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 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.

Gap to Gig is a refreshing, grounded podcast for dads who refuse to choose between meaningful work and meaningful family life. Michael Jacobs creates honest conversations that cut through hustle-culture noise and get to the heart of what modern fatherhood really looks like — navigating career shifts, burnout, ambition, and presence without losing yourself in the process. Each episode offers practical tools and real stories from dads building businesses and careers around their values, not at the expense of them. If you’re trying to redefine success in a way that lets you show up both at work and at bedtime, this podcast is absolutely worth your time.

It’s refreshing to hear a male perspective that is open, positive and supportive to home life.

Such an inspiring show! As a mom it’s so fun to hear a different perspective and have an on-the-go resource to share with my husband and other Dads that want to make room for both work and being a great dad to their kids.
