This is my first ever review for a podcast but I felt compelled to write it. Adam always interviews thoughtful and ambitious dads who are in the thick of building both loving families and great businesses at the same time. There’s a small but growing number of us out there, and as a new dad who cares a lot about his family and business, this podcast is the perfect kind of community and inspiration I needed to keep growing both intentionally. Adam’s also a great podcast host, very conversational ... more
Such a lovely and much needed show for dads (and moms!) alike. Love Adam.
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.
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.
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!
