Welcome to The CLIMB—a podcast for men who are tired of coasting… and ready to rise.
I’m Teko Bailey—husband, father, coach, and your guide in the climb. I believe there’s a hero inside every man.
But that hero doesn’t just show up on the mountain peaks…
He’s forged in the fire.
In the silence.
In the valleys.
In the everyday.
This isn’t a podcast about pretending to have it all together.
It’s about waking up to the purpose inside of you—
and learning to walk it out with God, step by step.
Some episodes will be short, raw devotionals.
Some will be honest solo teachings.
And others will be conversations with men who’ve walked through the storm… and kept climbing.
Whether you’re navigating fatherhood, rebuilding after failure, or searching for what’s next—this space is for you.
You don’t need to climb alone.
And you don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to take the next step.

Bret Green (Dad Got Bars): Redefining Fatherhood, Family, and Faith Through Hip-Hop
Bret Green’s journey is one of fatherhood, growth, and courage. Known to millions as Dad Got Bars, his mix of music, honesty, and humor is reshaping how men talk about parenting and masculinity. Before becoming a viral voice for modern dads, Bret built a Hollywood career with roles in The Inspectors, How to Get Away with Murder, Stalker, and The Goldbergs. But it was fatherhood—not fame—that gave his life deeper meaning.
In this conversation with Teko Bailey, Bret opens up about showing up fully for his kids, the humility of early fatherhood, and learning patience and purpose while home with his newborn daughter. Together, they unpack the real challenges men face—ego, expectations, and healing from absent or distant fathers—while exploring how to break generational cycles with empathy and shared responsibility.
Bret’s reflections on marriage, the song “Child Support,” and supporting his wife through postpartum depression reveal a man intent on building a new model of love. His message is simple but profound: real strength is found in vulnerability, and fatherhood is sacred work.
