488: Growing Up Wild: What Nature and Family Taught Me About Being a Dad with Ryland Englehart
When you look back years from now, what will you have built?
A business?
A life?
A family rooted in presence, love, and legacy?
This episode is for fathers who know they’re building something deeper—and want the tools to lead it well.
In today’s conversation, I sit down with Ryland Engelhart—a father, builder, and mission-driven leader who shows us what happens when a man chooses healing over hiding, and presence over perfection.
You’ll discover:
→ How a rooftop conversation with his dad shattered the belief he wasn’t enough
→ Why building a home with his father became an act of love, repair, and generational strength
→ The daily prayer and gratitude rituals that are shaping his sons for life
→ How a pivotal experience with psychedelics awakened his calling to protect the Earth
→ Why your presence—not your perfection—is what your kids need most
→ How fatherhood doesn’t end when your kids grow—it just evolves
If you’re not just building a career—
But building a legacy your family can stand on…
This conversation will remind you of what really matters.
🎧 Listen now and start building the life your family deserves

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men who are successful in life and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys, when you’re ready to stop just listening to content and want to JOIN the conversations, the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
