In this week’s episode of 2 Dads 1 Car, we speak with my dear friend and trusted partner, Mark Leung, a father of two young boys and man of many talents.

In our conversation, Mark and I focus on how to take a big picture approach to parenting. As we share stories about how easy it is to get caught up in the bad days and minutiae of caring for our children, Mark and I talk about the benefit of viewing parenthood as a marathon rather than an isolated moment. We also speak on the importance of being kind to yourself as a parent, especially as a way to maintain composure in moments of frustration. Finally, Mark and I talk about the different ways in which we try to set our children up for success in the future, and the power of faith—in ourselves and our children—in establishing meaningful relationships of trust in our family.

In this special solo episode of 2 Dads 1 Car, I share five reflections since recently becoming a dad of two children.

In this episode, I compare the early day experiences of my firstborn and secondborn daughters, and the sense of ease, familiarity, and competence that comes with raising a young infant as an already-experienced parent. I also reflect on the importance of being present, open, and sensitive to the needs of a young infant as they enter the world. This episode rounds out with a discussion of gratitude, and learning how to appreciate and enjoy parenthood as a communal experience of mutual support and care.

In our first episode of 2026, we speak with Bruce Chou, a dentist and founder of FutureDMD, a dental coaching and mentorship program. Bruce is also a happy father of a one year old son.

In this introspective conversation, Bruce articulates parenthood as a great “equalizer”in one’s life whereby all parents can share and connect through similar experiences and struggles regardless of who they are as individuals. Bruce and I establish that regardless of your personality or job, what matters ultimately to our children is that we dedicate time and presence to their upbringings. Speaking as a dentist, Bruce also gives some pro tips on how to maintain the dental hygiene of our children, including the importance of flossing and breathing posture.

Big thanks to Bruce for taking the time to be on the podcast! Please check out our website at 2dads1car.com and our Instagram @2dads1car for our latest updates. I hope you love this episode!

This week we speak with a returning guest, Daniel Perrett, who has two young sons, and works as a child educator.

In this conversation, Daniel discusses his role as a teacher, and his unique perspective into the societal pressures experienced by children today, especially feelings such as stress, competition, and empathy. Daniel also speaks about bringing these lessons to his role as a father, and his focus on helping his sons understand and regulate their emotions. At the midpoint of our conversation, Daniel and I switch roles and I discuss how to implement lessons from books such as Atomic Habits, the 5 AM Club, and the Morning Habit into our daily lives. We conclude with a discussion of how our parenting philosophies are intertwined with our commitments towards our communities, and how the birth of my second daughter has reminded me of how fatherhood re-contextualizes meaning and purpose in our lives.
