Ep. 297 - The Power Of Presence, Pain & Purpose In Fatherhood | Kaleb Stoppel and Bryan Ward

🎙️ Welcome to a new episode! I’m excited to share these reality star guests with you.

🟫 The Power of Presence, Pain, and Purpose in Fatherhood | Featuring Kaleb Stoppel and Bryan Ward | Ep. 297

👉 In this powerful episode of the Dad Up Podcast, I’m joined by Kaleb Stoppel.

👉 Dr. Kaleb Stoppel is a devoted husband, father of two, and former educator who has spent his life investing in others, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or through community service.

👉 After serving 15 years in education, including as a high school assistant principal and athletic director, Kaleb’s life was forever changed on March 4, 2022, when he was shot while protecting students and staff during a school shooting.

👉 His journey of healing, reflection, and rediscovery since that day has given him a renewed sense of purpose.

👉 For Kaleb, nothing matters more than being present for his family.

👉 That mindset led him to join the Fathers’ Club, an organization focused on helping dads engage more meaningfully with their children, schools, and communities.

👉 Through this work, Kaleb found a powerful platform to advocate for mental health awareness, especially among men who often struggle silently.

👉 He believes fatherhood is not about having it all figured out. It is about showing up, being real, and leading with love.

👉 Today, Kaleb continues to serve others as a financial advisor, helping individuals and families build secure, purpose-driven lives.

👉 Whether in his professional role or personal life, he is passionate about helping men reconnect with what matters most and reminding them that healing, growth, and hope are always possible.
