United States4 months ago - Where dad’s stop being polite… and start getting real
Adam had me on his show recently and all I can say is what a breath of fresh air! Sure, talking about my kids and fourth child (aka my startup) is the way to my heart – but jokes aside, the intersection between fatherhood and the workplace is such an important conversation that we aren’t having often enough. I’m excited to listen along and learn a thing or two from other startup dads.
Apple Podcasts5voxmattUnited States10 months ago - Not a startup dad but love the show!
Even though I’m not a startup dad, I love that this show provides so many concrete insights and tips for ambitious parents (or future parents). As host, Adam provides the perfect blend of humor, empathy, and business savvy.
Apple Podcasts5Emily Laurel SUnited States2 years ago - Meaningful conversations
Adam is entertaining, of course. Even better, he's a natural interviewer who's able to set the context for some real, meaningful conversations that make this podcast something I keep coming back to. I've recommended it to people who aren't dads, and dads who aren't in startups. Keep it coming, Adam!
Apple Podcasts5ez818-United States2 years ago - I look forward to these great conversations!
I’m a bit bias in that I’m a long time product person and a fairly new dad (I have a 2 and 4 year old), but this podcast feels like it is just for me. I resonate with so many things covered on each episode. Adam’s style is also refreshing and he has away to ask the perfect questions at the right time in the coversations.
