The Father & Son Field Guide
The Father and Son Field Guide is a weekly podcast hosted by 8-year-old Walker and his dad, Ryan. Together, they explore big questions, small lessons, and everything in between—from “Why do people quit when things get hard?” to “What does it mean to be brave?”
Each 40–45 minute episode is packed with real conversations, laughter, kid-approved jokes, surprising fun facts, and thoughtful reflections on growing up, learning together, and being human. It’s a podcast for curious kids, caring parents, and anyone who loves honest questions and meaningful moments shared around the metaphorical campfire.
Whether you’re on a car ride, winding down for bed, or just looking for something uplifting and real, grab your field guide and come along. There’s always something new to discover.

Ep. 2: What does it mean to be brave?
In this episode of The Father and Son Field Guide, we’re talking all about bravery. What it looks like, when we need it, and how it shows up in big and small ways.
Dad shares a powerful story about helping two injured teammates during a deployment, and Walker talks about the time he stood up for a kid being bullied at school. We also explore everyday heroes like firefighters, soldiers, medical professionals, and police officers. We even talk about some brave people from 9/11.
As always, we’ve got plenty of laughs during Field Guide Giggles, and today’s Fun Fact will fire you up 🔥 (hint: it’s about firefighters!).
Whether you're a kid, a parent, or just someone who wants to grow a little stronger, this episode reminds us that bravery comes in all shapes and sizes.
