About The Bad-Ass Dad Pod

No matter what age you are, you’ve likely wondered if your best years are behind you.

You. Are not. Alone.

My name is Ryan Dunn, and, although I’m 45 years old, I refuse to accept that my best days are past.

So I am on a mission to become the most bad-ass version of myself. I am undertaking a quest–actually, three quests–in an attempt to become a badass financially, a badass physically, and a badass in my relationships–that last quest could probably use some refinement in terminology… but I trust you’re getting what I mean.

Consider this site my journal of life hacks and experiments where I submit myself as the human guinea pig. I think along the way we’re all going to learn a few things as I share my own observations and we talk to experts in the fields of finance, fitness, relationships aaaand some other stuff… all providing usable ideas on how we can be badass with our money, with our bodies, with our love, and in our lives.

The mission is already underway. You’ll definitely want to check out the podcast to see where I’m at and to start getting some life hacks kicking ass in your life journey, too.

About Ryan Dunn

Ryan Dunn has a bunch of certificates on his desk. A few are awards for content production and marketing. Another marks his ordination as a minister. One says he’s earned a BA in English from the University of Iowa. The certificate next to that says he earned an MA in Christian Practice from Duke (with honors!). Ryan is most proud, though, of the things he’s created: The Compass Podcast, some deep content on RethinkChurch.org, a series of practical spiritual advice videos, a long-lasting marriage, and fantastic little boy. (He enjoyed A LOT of help on all of those projects, especially the last two.)

Ryan still seeks to achieve. He would like to be a faster runner and higher jumper. He wants to read more books while somehow watching all the Cubs games possible. He would like to produce more written words–though not in this bio.
