In this episode of Guys Being Dads, Ben is officially a dad, and the first few weeks of newborn life have humbled him fast.

We catch up on baby Emma Parker’s arrival, what life has really been like as a first-time dad, whether hiring a doula was worth it, and why “dad brain” is already very real.

Adam also gives a quick recap of the first Dad Day event in Charleston, the next Built For More experience in Austin, and his unexpected journey into dad gear reviews after a 140,000-view car video.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Newborn life as a first-time dad
• Sleep shifts, cabin fever, and letting family help
• Whether a doula is worth it
• Dad brain and the “blimp in the road”
• The first Dad Day event in Charleston
• What’s next for Built For More
• Adam’s accidental YouTuber era
• Real dad gear reviews, beach umbrellas included

Basically: new babies, surf lessons, beach umbrellas, imposter syndrome, and two guys trying to keep the podcast alive.
