Today we have Dan Cooley in the closet and it's so annoyingly cliche that he happens to be extremely cool.

Dan is a seasoned locations manager in the film industry and he shares his career journey, spanning over 60 films and TV projects, including 'Spider-Man 3', 'Milk', and 'New Girl'. Dan discusses the unexpected path to his unique role, the dynamic challenges, and the magic behind some iconic sets. He also delves deeply into his personal life, candidly sharing the complexities of being a single dad to three daughters, managing work-life balance, and the intricacies of co-parenting (and when it's not really possible to do that). Dan touches on guiding principles in parenting, dealing with social media's impact on kids, and the importance of being present for his children. 

Every week on the pod, I bake for our guests if they come to the closet IRL. For Dan and his three girls, I made super fudgy brownies.
