In this episode of Two Dads Having a Beer, we’re cracking open a Yuengling with Guest Dad Steve “J.R.” Leonard — a Missouri-based dad of four, former smoker, 70+ pounds lighter, and nine years clean. J.R. brings raw honesty, huge heart, and some hilarious dad moments (toe-stubbing included) to the table as we talk about what it really means to show up — for your kids, your wife, your work, and yourself.
From raising a nonverbal autistic son with grace and grit, to co-founding DadTok on TikTok and dreaming of a future in stand-up comedy, J.R. shares his transformation story and how faith flipped the script on his life. This one’s packed with laughs, real talk, and a whole lot of fatherhood fire.
We cover:
- What parenting four very different kids teaches you
- How J.R. lost weight, quit smoking, and found God
- Why he believes every dad has a message worth sharing
- The heart behind DadTok and helping men stay clean, present, and motivated
- Family camping trips, UFC bonding, and what it means to protect your peace
Grab a cold one and join us for one of our most encouraging and inspiring conversations yet.
