New Episode: Fatherhood Is a Mirror

Apr 27, 2026 7:02 pm

Hi ,

This week’s episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast is with Pat Barber, a longtime CrossFit coach, leadership developer, husband, and father of four boys.

The heart of this conversation is simple:

Fatherhood has a way of revealing the man you are and calling you into the man your kids need you to become.

Pat shares how coaching others and raising his sons have become mirrors for his own growth, blind spots, and self-awareness. We talk about parenting with long-term intention, learning to be wrong, adapting to each child, and why so many men struggle with feeling like they have to have it all figured out.

One of my favorite questions from the episode:

Are we trying to raise good kids, or good adults?
