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.

From Control to Surrender — Tony Garay on Marriage, Money, and the Making of a Man
Tony didn’t plan to build a life around surrender. Early in marriage he made a countercultural choice—his wife would stay home—then walked straight into hardship: a father-in-law’s terminal diagnosis, his grandfather’s sudden death, and a long season of infertility. A chance visit to a church meeting in a movie theater opened the door to community and a deeper faith, but old patterns—control, image, the drive for money—followed him back to Miami. The result was shingles in his early 30s, a wake-up call that forced him to ask what God was actually asking of him.
In this conversation with host Teko Bailey, Tony traces the long arc from self-reliance to submission: leaving a lucrative real-estate lane, returning to the Carolinas, taking a corporate detour, and finally answering an unexpected vocational call—roofing—where he discovered “marketplace ministry” and the freedom to put God, marriage, and fatherhood in their right order. Along the way he found brotherhood through F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, Faith), re-framed money as a tool rather than a master, and learned to design a family-first life without letting fear drive.
If you’re a husband, father, or builder carrying quiet stress, this episode offers clear, tested practices: work on yourself more than the business, prioritize the household before the hustle, and trade control for daily submission—so your faith, marriage, and work can finally flow in the same direction.
