First Class Fatherhood

Did you know that in the United States alone, more than one in four children live in a home without a father?

When Alec Lace recognized this crisis and launched his parenting podcast 2018, his mission was simple: to give dads an opportunity to encourage others, by sharing the experiences and wisdom they’ve gained during their respective journeys.

A few years and hundreds of interviews later--including with many high-profile dads from sports, media, politics, the military, and other industries--Alec has curated a rich collection of anecdotes that provides guidance and inspiration on a wide array of topics, including but not limited to

• Advice for about-to-be or new dads
• Finance and education
• Discipline
• Dating and social life
• Faith, values, and service
• Fitness and health, for both children and fathers
• How to be a fatherhood ambassador

First Class Fatherhood will engage the reader with thought-provoking ideas and realistic solutions from fathers who have been through it all.

Alec believes that being a father is the most important role a man can play in the game of life. And his hope is that this book will help change the narrative of fatherhood and family life, and greatly reduce the number of children growing up without a father in the home.

Alec Lace, father of four, launched his popular podcast, First-Class Fatherhood, in 2018, with a vision to change the narrative of fatherhood and family life. The show quickly became one of the top parenting podcasts in America, due to Alec’s interviews with some of the most recognized fathers in the world from all different fields, including Dean Cain, Deion Sanders, Tony Hawk, and Dana White.

Because of the show’s popularity, Alec was invited to be on the field for the Super Bowl LIII media day in 2019, to interview dads such as Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Bill Belichick.

Our nation’s military heroes hold a special place in Alec’s heart. He has interviewed legendary servicemen such as Navy SEALs Rob O’Neill and Marcus Luttrell, “Black Hawk Down” pilot Mike Durant, Benghazi survivor John Tiegen, and Medal of Honor recipients Ed Byers, Dakota Meyer and Michael Thornton.

On June 16, 2019, Alec was interviewed live on Fox & Friends for Father’s Day and has also appeared on several other top podcasts, including Order of Man and Life of Dad.

Alec does all of this while continuing to be a dedicated railroad mechanic, a position he has held for twenty years, and as an Uber driver on weekends.
