Dad Hard With A Podcast

YES WE ARE FINALLY BACK AND IT IS THE PREMIERE OF SEASON 3 OF DAD HARD WITH A PODCAST!!!!!

In this 2 part season premiere we do a deep dive into the flip of the switch that happens when your child turns 2 - because that switch flips REAAAAAAAL FAST BELIEVE ME!!!

In part 1 we discuss the age old classification of turning 2..... THE TERRIBLE TWOS!!! What is it about turning two that causes our kids to be so difficult? In these 2 months of reflection I feel that it's the first time a child WANTS more than he/she NEEDS - at least in their minds. In the words of the Rolling Stones, "you can't always get what you want" but when it comes to two year olds, that means you're getting tantrums, tears and a weeee bit of terror!

Stay tuned for Part 2 - The Incredible Twos coming soon.....

WE ARE BACK!!!

It's week 103 of #DaddingHard which means we're 1 week away from my 2nd Anniversary as a Dad aka my daughter's 2nd Birthday! But before she turns 2 she's putting that sponge brain to work and is desperate to learn and remember everything she possibly can. That means daddy can't make empty promises about future plans anymore.....

In our guest segment this week, I sit down with father, fitness professional, Childhood Autism Advocate and all around incredible guy, Gary Martinez Jr! We talk about his #dadlife raising his 15 year old daughter through Autism. He drops tactics that he's used to help with the process and make his daughter comfortable, approaching bullies at school, using his acting dust, the importance of Disney+, having his daughter's condition brushed to the side by doctors and taking on the responsibility AS A DAD to help, love and protect his daughter while enabling her to evolve and have the life that every kid wants to have. Talk about #DaddingHard. This is an incredibly inspiration conversation!

WE ARE BACK!!!

It's week 102 of #daddinghard and I am blown away daily by my daughters seemingly LIGHTSPEED advancements with her language. Conversations - CHECK. Expressing her wants - CHECK. Expressing her emotions...... meeehhh not so much. This daily development might be my favorite this about fatherhood thus far.

In our guest segment welcomes now 2x guest and incredible writer Joe Keohane! Last time we did a deep dive on postpartum depression in dads - which we both experienced - this time though we dive deep into his fatherhood journey. We discuss his daughter's advanced love for art, how she's adapting to post-covid life, mechanisms he used to adapt to fatherhood, his desire for his daughter to be social and meeting new people, his new book "The Power of Strangers" and putting an end to "Stranger Danger!"

What a truly great and insighful conversation!

WE ARE BACK!!!!

It is week 101 of #DaddingHard (HOLY SH*T!) and we've just started making the conversion to 1 nap. There's A LOT of change that comes with that. Flustered schedules, afternoon crankiness, high volumes or irritability but by god I'll take it because WE GET OUR MORNING SLEEP BACK!!!!

In our guest segment this week I bring back one of my best friends on the planet for his 2nd Dad Hard appearance, Scott Rodriguez. He's now cemented his first year in the #FatherhoodBrotherhood and is loving every second! We talk about his biggest roadbumps during year 1, his daughter struggling with her mobility, raising yourself in raising your kid, the positive effect quarantine had on his fatherhood experience, fatherhood inspiring him to start his own youth sports training program and the two of us watching each other grow from 13 year old boys to 35 year old dads! One of the most fun conversations had on the pod to date.

WE ARE BACK! AND WHAT A FRIGGIN EPISODE THIS IS!

It's the big 7-0 and we're going FULL GUEST EPISODE as we welcome the single most unique guest ever to Dad Hard With a Podcast, professional surrogate Ashley Greene and her husband Kris Greene!

This might very well be the best episode to date as Ashley drops everything you need to know about surrogacy, her new surrogacy agency NESA, the surrogacy process and whether or not she's completely nuts to do what she does.

We also add her husband to the mix to talk about his role in the process, cleaning bath tubs, throwing pans, their daughter telling people "mommy's pregnant, but it's not my dad's" and how a Superman cape led to their youngest son. More than anything else though, this couple shows how incredible they are when we get into the nitty gritty of WHY they do this!

BEST EPISODE TO DATE!!!!!

WE ARE BACK!!!

It's week 95 of #DaddingHard and this week I pull a solo episode to do a deep dive into my daughter's horrifying month long battle with night terrors! It is legitimately one of the scariest things I've had to deal with thus far as a dad to the point where I might end up with them myself.

In other news this week, I am also having to come to grips with the fact that might daughter might be the noes picker in class....

Lastly, it's not all bad news as she's finally found her singing voice and will not stop singing her favorite songs word for word like she's rocking that kareoke machine!
