Notice
Pay attention. Someone's silence or change in routine may be worth a gentle check-in.
REAL LIFE. REAL CONVERSATIONS. NO JUDGMENT.
Got a Second?
Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can give someone is our time.
Come as you are. Pull up a chair. There's room for you.
THE HEART BEHIND THE IDEA
Hey Dad, Can We Talk?
Not every conversation needs an answer. Sometimes it just needs someone who will listen.
Inspired by the steady, welcoming perspective of a dad or grandfather, this is a space for talking about life as it really is: family, friendships, growing up, growing older, grief, hope, and everything in between.
We are not a counseling service or a crisis line. We're here to encourage genuine human connection, thoughtful conversations, and reaching out when someone may need support.
Say hello →THE EVERYDAY CHECK-IN CAMPAIGN
Got a Second?
A moment to ask. A chance to listen.
We want to make checking in on one another a habit—not just when something is wrong, but because people matter. Start with one person and one honest conversation.
Ask
“Got a second? How are you doing—really?” Give them a choice to talk.
Listen
Be present. You don't need to fix everything or have the perfect words.
Follow through
Reach out again. Help them find more support when it's needed.
The Got a Second? Challenge
This week, check in with someone you haven't spoken with lately. Make time, listen, and follow up. Share the invitation—not their private story.

The Table
A podcast by Hey Dad, Can We Talk?
Real conversations about the things we carry, the people we love, the mistakes we make, and what we learn along the way.
Some conversations will be one-on-one. Others will welcome guests with personal stories or professional expertise. All of them begin with a seat at the table.
