Summary

No holiday has as many caveats as Father’s Day. Maybe appropriately so, but no man becomes a dad planning to be a failure. Men have a deep-seated desire to love their kids well, meet their needs, and teach them how to live. Jerrad Lopes started Dad Tired because he found himself in a similar boat: wanting to be a better dad, but not sure how to do it. He’s built a robust community to encourage dads to become the fathers they’ve always wanted to be. He’s a good man, speaking courage into all the aggressive dads out there.
