Mike Baker of Mike Baker HQ - When men mean well and still screw it up - Family Famous

Quincy welcomes Mike Baker of Mike Baker HQ for a candid conversation about the man who means well and still screws up. Mike shares how openness about struggles, ADHD, imperfect leadership as a dad and CEO, and intentional communication help men show up better at home.

The discussion covers practical tools for connection, advocacy around menopause and perimenopause, and the shared heart of paying it forward. This episode supports the initial launch strategy for Family Famous, targeting June 22, 2026, and models the mission of becoming famous where it matters most — under your own roof.

Key Takeaways

• Everyone is imperfect. Openness about struggles creates connection; shutting down does not.

• You do not have to have all the answers as a husband, dad, or leader. Permission to be

unfinished is powerful.

• Communication starts with asking and being present. Awkward conversations are almost always better than the version in your head.

• Men can and should learn about menopause, perimenopause, and hormonal changes so they can support their wives well.

• Consistency compounds: date nights, small acts of showing up, and paying it forward create lasting impact.

• Go do it afraid. Your wife is often afraid too. Start the conversation.

About the Podcast

Family Famous
Be famous where it matters Most, Under your own roof
In a world that measures success by visibility, wealth, and applause, Family Famous flips the script.Family Famous means becoming famous where it matters most — at home. Not on social media. Not in titles or trophies. But in the hearts, trust, and lives of the people who matter most: your wife and children.Hosted by Quincy Moran — a transformational communicator, devoted husband of more than 26 years to Jeanne, and father of eight (including triplets and twins) — this podcast reaches and teaches men how to lead their homes with intention, consistency, and credibility. Quincy’s first ministry is his family. His life mission is to be, and to teach men how to become, Family Famous™.This is not self-improvement for its own sake. It is transformation rooted in faith in Jesus Christ. Too many men succeed everywhere except at home. Family Famous exists to change that. Through short, practical episodes (and occasional deeper keynotes), Quincy shares the real stories, the 5R Framework (Resourceful, Reliable, Resilient, Relentless, Remarkable), and the ownership required to build a legacy that outlives you.You don’t have to be perfect. You do have to be willing.Every episode closes with the same reminder:

Because the mission is simple: Be famous where it matters most — at home.Start with the constitution episode: What Is Family Famous.

Then walk the road from the birth of the idea, to becoming the man, to building the standard, to living the legacy. Family Famous is the front door. Your home is the scoreboard. Website: quincymoran.com

Quincy Moran

A Family Man! A Happily married man however that happiness hasn't always come easy. After 10 years of marriage and 8 children with numerous medical emergencies and family tragedy we had become roommates. Fast forward 10 years and we have become closer than either of us had ever known possible. After this amazing transformation thanks to our marriage coach Rita Enos, my wife and I decided to give back to the entire Human Race and give Men the opportunity to decide "How Good do you want your life/Marriage to be"? I am hardwired to inspire because it gives me life! It was only natural that I take this desire to inspire and my incredibly handsome face for radio to make a difference like I have experience in my own life.
