What happens when you've got the dream job, the big title, and the freedom to live anywhere — but your soul starts to die?

In this episode of the Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with Matt Wilson, former venture capital partner turned executive coach for FinTech CEOs, to explore how letting go of a “perfect-on-paper” life led him to rediscover what truly lights him up.

From leading in the military and scaling startups to walking away from it all in search of deeper meaning, Matt shares a vulnerable and powerful story of realignment — from strategy to soul work.

-> Why success can still leave you feeling stuck -> The difference between zone of excellence and zone of genius -> How emotional clarity leads to better leadership -> What most high-performers are missing when they play it “safe” -> Parenting lessons on talent, effort, and how to help kids thrive

This conversation is a must-listen for any dad or coach who's ever wondered if there's more — and how to find the courage to go after it.

Enjoy!

What does it look like to parent and lead from a place of deep inner awareness?

In this episode of the Dads Who Coach Podcast, I sit down with coach, mindfulness practitioner, and father of two, Steve Toelupe. Steve became a dad at 21, and that moment changed everything — sparking a lifelong journey of self-coaching, early childhood education, and helping others find clarity, purpose, and peace.

In this episode, you’ll hear: -> How fatherhood helped Steve break patterns of dysfunction -> Why mindfulness is the foundation for emotional healing -> A 3-part coaching model: Clarity, Obstacles, and Character -> The power of slowing down and parenting at your child’s pace -> Why self-care leads to self-love… which leads to self-trust

Steve brings a calm presence, a deep well of lived wisdom, and a beautiful reminder that your true nature is love — and you’re already enough.

Enjoy :)
