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.

Stewardship Over Success: David on Fatherhood, Work, and a Faith That Endures
David didn’t set out to become a draftsman. For more than a decade he built custom cabinetry, prizing precision and client satisfaction. Then interest rates spiked, the phone stopped ringing, and he faced a hard pivot—first into commercial sales, then into drafting and building design. What he discovered along the way: the strengths that made him excellent in custom work (detail obsession, perfectionism) could become liabilities when the job required speed, trade-offs, and submission to new authority.
In this candid conversation with host Teko Bailey, David traces a deeper journey beneath the career shift: learning to value presence over accolades, stewardship over status, and quiet obedience over external affirmation. He shares a defining season from his late teens—months of spiritual dryness where he chose to keep praying and reading Scripture with no feelings at all—and how those “deposits in the bank” sustained him years later when his wife passed away.
If you’re a husband, father, or leader navigating career pressure, identity, and faith, this episode offers clear, hard-won principles for staying present at home, resisting the lure of affirmation at work, and building a reservoir that can carry you through crisis.
