Welcome to MENTALk Podcast!
I’m Dakota, and this podcast is my way of sharing my journey through life's challenges and encouraging others to do the same. As a man who's faced his fair share of struggles, I’ve realized how rarely we hear about the experiences and emotional battles that men go through. MENTALk is here to change that.
Think of MENTALk like hanging out with your buddies on the back porch — some laughs, some deep stuff, and a lot of honesty. We dive into men’s mental health, everyday wins and fails, and those random conversations that just keep rolling.
Join me as we tackle tough topics, break down barriers, and get real about mental health and much more. Whether you’re looking to vent, seek support, or better understand a loved one, MENTALk is here to help you get stuff off your chest and find the connection we all need.

Ep.7 | This Is Where I Am Now: The Journey So Far
Welcome back, everyone! In this episode, I dive into where I’m at right now, the highs, the struggles, and the gratitude I feel for being able to share my journey with all of you. This isn’t just about telling my story, but about connecting, helping, and, hopefully, inspiring anyone out there facing tough times.
So, what does being "rich" mean? I get real about how I define wealth—not in the dollars, but in having family, a home, and doing what I love. Life isn’t without challenges, though. From career shifts to health battles for both my kids and my wife, we’re constantly balancing doctor’s appointments, therapies, and surgeries. It’s a lot, but it’s also what fuels me to keep going.
Dakota and I have an equal partnership in our marriage, and I'm grateful for the time we spend together, even though we face our share of challenges. From midlife reflections and mental health struggles to learning what it means to be emotionally available, we’re navigating it all.
Stay tuned, because I’ll be bringing guests on the show soon, starting with my wife in the next episode. We’ll get candid about our journey, our battles, and what we’re doing to make the best of each day. We’ve received a lot of love and support from listeners—folks reaching out to tell us how our story resonates with theirs. So, if you have a burden, question, or just need to share, reach out! I’m here for it.
