About Us

D1 Dads was built on friendship, camaraderie, and a shared belief that sports are one of life's greatest educational platforms.

Co-Founders Flint Foley and Andy Lausier met through youth baseball. What started as conversations at the ballfield evolved into regular coffee meetings and deep discussions about faith, family, leadership, coaching, and performance.

Over time, one thing became clear:

Many fathers spend countless hours helping their children grow through sports, but few have a space dedicated to their own growth as men.

So D1 Dads was born.

What began as a monthly breakfast quickly became a community of fathers committed to becoming champions in life. A place to connect, learn, encourage one another, and share the journey of fatherhood.

The response made it clear—this was more than an event. It was a needed space.

That same mission eventually expanded into the D1 Dads Podcast, bringing these conversations to fathers everywhere.

Because sports are the platform.

Fatherhood is the mission.
