With the Ambitious Angel Mom on vacation, the dads have the run of the place and Philip is taking advantage. This podcast introduces the upcoming series of podcasts centered around our Angel Fathers and what they go through every day.

Philip sat down with Gary Rurup, owner of the Shiplap Coffee House in Yelm, to talk about their upcoming distillery tasting. Proceeds from the event will go to Raise for Rowyn. They talked about what motivates Gary to give back, and why RFR is important to him.
