Dave is joined by his wife Lya in a rare guest appearance. This is a very special episode of the Exit Five podcast - it's a one episode revival of the podcast Dave and Lya did a few years ago called "What Parents Talk About" and Lya takes the mic to grill Dave on a few questions about solopreneurship, parenting, telling the truth on LinkedIn, the mental load, golf vs. work, being home together everyday and more.

Thanks to Demandwell, our presenting sponsor for the Exit Five podcast.
