Mike is a DAD!

Mike is a DAD!

Author: Mike Vacanti | Jordan Syatt May 20, 2025 Duration: 56:05

Mike is officially a dad to a beautiful baby girl and we spend the entire episode talking about dad life. There is zero helpful information in here for personal trainers—just us talking about being dads—so if you want to hear us shoot the shit and see Mike cry (seriously), dive in.
