      First off, this episode was a hot mess. I really didn't want to upload it. Every podcast episode should be perfectly polished and refined. This one was not.


      I had a message in my mind that I wanted to communicate. I feel like I did not communicate that message clearly. It came off as contradictory, jumbled and disjointed.


      So why did I upload it anyway? We have a goal to achieve and I believe often times the desire for perfection serves as an excuse from me not achieving that goal.


      We had 3 goals from the start:

      1. Be 100% ourselves (this means our content will always be 100% unedited and often time unpolished)

      2. We both enjoy doing it (after each episode I should have more energy)

      3. Get George Clooney to on pod

    • One step closer to George Clooney

      Are you a refined (we don't like to use the word 'old') dad?

      Listen in on our first episode as we discuss why we decided to do a podcast and our one piece of advice on being a refined dad.

      Our end goal: getting George Clooney on our podcast (he had his first child at 56)
