About the Dad Edge Podcast
and The Good Dad Project
The Good Dad Project is a movement.
The Good Dad Project is a strong community of Fathers who all share a set of values. Tackling the world of Fatherhood can be a daunting task when we try to do it alone. The mission of The Good Dad Project is to help you become the best, strongest, and happiest version of yourself so that you can help guide your kids to the best version of themselves. Simple as that.

About the Founder, Larry Hagner
Our children are not born with manuals and the Journey of Fatherhood doesn’t necessarily come with a “map.” There are challenges, twists, and turns along the way.
As much as we truly enjoy our children and being a father, we tend to internalize our struggles. When we do that, we get distracted and stressed out. As a result, we do not enjoy the Journey of being a Dad as much as we would really like to.
I am not a psychologist. I am not a counselor in family dynamics. I don’t have any accolades behind my name.
I am like you.
I have an awesome wife and 4 amazing boys (Ethan-12, Mason-10, Lawson-4, and Colton-2).
I am an everyday dad trying to do the best job I can. I just want to be the best version of myself so I can guide my kids to be the best version of themselves.
My story and passion for being a father is a bit unique.
I grew up virtually in “fatherless environment” for most of my life. In fact, I didn’t meet my real father until I was 30 years old. As fate would have it, our paths crossed when he walked into a coffee shop eight years ago. I am happy to say we have a great relationship now and spend a great deal of time together.
It was really through my own childhood struggles that I realized my true passion for being a dad.
