243: From NFL to IVF- Corey P.

Welcome into the Young Dad Podcast — whether you're outside grilling, mowing the lawn, changing dirty diapers, or maybe you got a moment to sit back and relax — thanks for being here and thanks for tuning in.

Today’s guest is Corey Parchman — a former NFL player turned real estate developer, author, and fatherhood advocate. He’s the President of CorePar Development, a leader in revitalizing communities through purpose-driven housing. He’s also the founder of The IVF Playbook for Men — a multi-platform support hub dedicated to helping men navigate the emotional, relational, and financial toll of infertility and IVF. Corey’s mission is powerful: to create generational wealth, support resilient families, and empower men to show up fully.
