Ready for real talk from two dads who get it? One’s a SoCal entrepreneur juggling life with older kids; the other is a seasoned work-from-home dad with a crew of toddlers. Separated by a decade in age but united by their parenting journeys, these dads bring hilarious, heartfelt stories, lessons learned, and raw honesty to topics every parent can relate to—whether it’s diapers or dream projects.
Born out of a mentorship-turned-friendship, this podcast is your invitation to laugh, learn, and lounge with two dads who prove that there’s no one right way to navigate dad life.
