All Pro Dad on the TODAY Show

This morning Tony Dungy and I were honored to be on the TODAY Show talking about our fatherhood program All Pro Dad. Tony was even able to go through some of our list 10 Ways to be an All Pro Dad. If you missed the show this morning you can watch it below. Thanks to the TODAY show folks for having us on!

    Nice job Mark – and Tony. That's a good word delivered in a great context to a national audience that is desperate to understand what “success” really means – especially for DADs. It's a privilege to be involved in this transformational initiative! – DEREK

    Wow! What an awesome segment! The best part was seeing all the dads and kids loving on each other. What a blessing to have so many people around the nation have the opportunity to see what Family First and All Pro Dad are all about, but more importantly that once you are a parent, it's forever. Great job!

    Thanks for the post. As the founding chapter in Las Vegas, APD has positively impacted the lives of many dads and kids. The feedback we continue to receive is a blessing from above and pray that it will lead to more victories in the years ahead.

    It was awesome! You did a wonderful job explaining how Tony came to be spokesperson. Even that comment is a powerful ministering that millions got to hear and be fed. Lives will be changed. God is so amazing. So much quality in that short t.v. spot. Awesome!!!

    I saw this segment on the Today Show and teared up when I saw the first 'tip for being an all pro dad' was to love your wife. I was telling my daughter (now a mom also) about this story I choked up again. When I said to her I thought her dad was all pro without even knowing it all this time, her response was 'Well, we knew it!' Thanks for the segment, and Happy Father's Day to all! – Cindy
