So relatable!
Even though I’m a mom, not a dad, the episode on mental fitness interviewing Colin Thompson gave me a lot of great takeaways. A few of my favorites: When working at home, establish clear boundaries between work/parenting, this will allow you to be fully present for both. It’s ok to take a little time to decompress in the bathroom/basement/walking when transitioning from work mode to parent mode. I like the five unrelated questions that host Michael inserts at the end of the interview. Michael is a very good interviewer and makes it an enjoyable listen.
For Any Dad Trying to Do Better
This podcast is a great reminder that life is bigger than work — which, honestly, some of us need tattooed on our foreheads. If you have kids, it doesn’t just tell you to show up differently; it gives you a real sense of how to start.
Glad To See This Niche Served
Great podcast covering a necessary niche that doesn’t always get covered as much as other ones. Episodes are good, diverse, and informative. Host has insightful input.
love it
As a dad I was amazed to find this podcast that provides a lot of insight on what is it that I can do to become better. Not just work but life and give my kids a better life, to spend more life with them. Great show!
Great editing and conversations
I really enjoyed the way that this show was edited to make it easy to listen to
Great show!
Really enjoyed the episode with Alan Lazaros. His story of following traditional path and still filling like something was missing really stood out. The wake-up call he experienced at 26 adds so much depth to the conversation around meaningful work and fulfillment. Definitely worth a listen.
Great insights.
The work-life balance episode included a lot of discussion that i really needed. Thanks for helping me feel better on this journey.
