👋🏾Hey, Good Dads

Gerald ‘Mr. BPOZ’ Mayes is the creator and host of the Hey, Good Dad Podcast, where he brings his passion for fatherhood to life. As a dedicated father, husband, and advocate for self-improvement, Gerald uses his platform to share real, actionable advice with other dads who are striving to become the best versions of themselves. His journey is all about showing that to be a good dad, you first need to be a good you—a philosophy that drives the Hey, Good Dad Podcast, his Mr. BPOZ YouTube channel, and his written work on the Good Dads Blog.

Gerald’s approach is both honest and relatable, often using his own experiences as a father to guide conversations. Through interviews with fellow dads, including those with diverse backgrounds and unique challenges, he uncovers the triumphs, struggles, and lessons that shape modern fatherhood. His content extends beyond the podcast, with education series like Not Your Father’s Book Club, focused on personal growth for men, and The Man Cave Webinar Series, which brings men together to discuss the harder topics that often go unspoken.

Gerald also leads the #DadFirst movement, an initiative that encourages men to focus on improving themselves first, believing that being the best dad starts with being the best man. With all his content, from the How to Be a Good Dad Newsletter to Daily Dadfirmations and podcast interviews, Gerald’s mission is to build a community where dads can grow, learn, and support one another.

Driven by a commitment to helping men and fathers excel in their personal lives, Gerald’s work has one ultimate goal: to help every dad be the best they can be for their families, while documenting his own personal growth journey.
