Rejection hurts- Whether it’s not making the team, missing that dream school, or just getting ghosted by opportunity itself. In this episode, The Carpool Guys — Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave “from Flatbush” Tannenbaum — take the scenic route through life’s “no’s,” sharing personal stories that hit home (and sometimes hit funny).

From playground heartbreaks to midlife curveballs, the guys get real about what rejection teaches us, and how to help our kids grow from it too. They explore what it means to support your child without bubble-wrapping them, how to handle disappointment with grace, and why sometimes the best lessons come from not getting what we wanted.

It’s heartfelt, honest, and just the right amount of hilarious — a reminder that rejection isn’t the end of the road… it’s just another lane on the highway of life.

🎙️ The Pilot — The Best Advice We Ever Got

Welcome to the very first ride of The Carpool Guys Podcast, where three dads — Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave “from Flatbush” Tannenbaum — talk about life, work, family, and all the chaos in between.

In this inaugural episode, the guys open up about what it really means to balance personal and professional life in today’s world. From lighthearted dad banter to surprisingly deep moments, they share the best advice they’ve ever received, what authenticity means at midlife, and how to take action when opportunity knocks. Along the way, they swap hilarious dating stories, talk about mentorship, and reflect on the lessons that only come from making a few (okay, a lot of) mistakes.

It’s funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly real — the perfect mix of dad humor, life advice, and mid-career honesty that makes you feel like you’re right there in the carpool with them.
