Father Hoods

We kick things off recapping some of the major keys we copped in last week's conversation with our homies from the Earn Your Leisure Podcast. If you missed it, you might want to back up and catch that to make sure you get yourself some generational wealth building gems!

We then segue into Manny Digital's entrepreneurial adventure in FlyDad, LLC and how he's thinking about practicing nepotism with his kids via this new dad-centric company. 

You'll also hear what we're listening to (links below)...

Here's the link to the Market Watch article that goes more in depth about the favorable tax laws that make hiring your kid a WIN (click here)

Lastly, we're sad to report of the sudden passing of Starburns Audio CEO, Jason Smith. He showed the Father Hoods love and believed enough in what we do on this podcast to give us a seat on team Starburns via Stony Island. Jason Leaves behind his wife and daughter.

If you're willing, here's a link to the memorial GoFundMe page to help support the family in this terrible time.   

*Starburns Audio is the home of Open Mike Eagle's Stony Island Podcast Network of which the Father Hoods podcast is a part.

So you're a father of a toddler and you're expecting your second. On top of that you're an actor and are on the go quite a bit to earn a living. What goes through the mind of this type of dad? On this episode we kick it with actor, Knicks fanatic and expectant father of his second child... Jerry Ferrara.

We learn about Jerry's path to becoming a dad and what he's preparing for as he patiently awaits his second child. We get into his concerns around being forgotten by his kids when he's on the job. It also gets a little deep, when Jerry shares a very personal story about when he and his wife, Breanne, experienced a miscarriage when trying for their first. The lessons from that experience may surprise you. 

We'll also revisit our lying ass kids again, but this time with some recent issues one of the Father Hoods has been silently suffering these last few weeks.
