Welcome, I'm jon 

Jon Gustin is the founder of The Tired Dad LLC and the voice behind The Tired Dad, a movement built around showing up for what matters most. With over two million followers across four platforms, Jon shares the real moments of fatherhood, the lessons learned, the laughs that keep us going, and the vulnerable stories that remind us we are not alone. His videos and writing capture both the beauty and the heartbreak of being a parent.

Beyond storytelling, Jon created the apparel brand tireddad.®, designed for parents who wear their effort proudly.

What drives him is simple: helping dads navigate parenthood with perseverance, vulnerability, and self-compassion. He speaks openly about mental health, sobriety, and the need to include fathers in the parenting conversation. His message to all parents is clear, keep showing up.

There is no such thing as a perfect parent. We will all make mistakes, but we can keep showing up no matter what.

As Jon often says, “Parenting is hard for good parents.” Anyone can have a child and become a father, but the effort it takes to raise one is what makes a tired dad.
