Home Dad Chat

Danny and Brock share the latest HomeDadCon announcements from the past week. Then get into a conversation about parenting strong-willed kids. This idea came from listening to another fatherhood-centered podcast.  

You can listen to that podcast called The Dad Edge at https://thedadedge.com/friday9/

Brock and Danny finish up their talk resumes for SAHDs, are they necessary? Brock tries to convince Danny that the new Space Jam movie is worth watching. Finally, a serious talk takes place about why excuses need to stop and taking care of yourself is important.

Brock and Danny talk about the countdown to HomeDadCon being less than 90 days away. Then they share about a new resource in the closed group focused on helping stay-at-home dads get a mentor. The episode ends with a bunch of name-dropping as they discuss all the side gigs that dads are involved in and how those in the group can also promote their side gig without breaking the rules.

We talk with Matt Strain about his life. Moving from life as a chef to an at home dad, his move to sobriety despite a love for good beer, and how he became a brand ambassador to Athletic Brewing. His experience as a chef led him to seek out a non-alcoholic beer that actually tastes good, and he found it. We think you can find inspiration in his story, and maybe a new favorite beer. 

Danny interviews Brock now that he has returned after driving 5,850 miles and talks about the adventure, the dads he met along the way, and the National Parks they visited. 

Brock is on vacation, so we grab some time to talk about one of Danny's favorite things: Dungeons and Dragons! Micah Adams and Josh Thompson join us to talk about their favorite characters, best encounters, and wasting time trying to find a bell that never existed. There's also clowns! We slip a bit into other TTRPG's (Table Top Role Playing Games) as well. Like Starfinder, a futuristic space adventure game. So grab your dice, pick out your mini, and roll for initiative!

Brock and Danny are both planning big road trips this summer. Brock's got his camper trailer, as seen on last week's episode, and Danny is just runnin in the burban. During the summer is a great time to set some goals, though, so we talk about what we want to help our kids achieve in the next few months. So, what are you planning this summer? 

Brock and Danny are ready for the summer to begin! it's time to talk end of school activities, field days, and road trips! Check out this camper trailer one of Brock's fiends built. Our YouTube channel has the images, so head over to The National At-Home Dad Network channel and get ready to be jealous. https://youtu.be/V3uZDfrcZOY 

Join Brock and Danny as we talk about photography! A couple of our dads, Brett Landry and Austin Dowd, join us to share their joy, passion, and knowledge. We get to talk about our first cameras, where the love for photography comes from, and a couple of great tips on how to take better images. Sit back, relax, and think about where you're going to take your next great photo!
