Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.

Welcome to the December 2020 Rickhouse, we F’n made it!  The home of the ever maturing Today’s Dad definition! The goal of Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.  is to “define Today’s Dad”...we do this by asking our guest to share their definition at the top of every show.  We store these definitions week after week on our podcasts, YouTube channel, in our RICKHOUSE on our website, social media platforms and we constantly highlight them. Our Rickhouse is our way of distilling our information into a tasty blend to share. 

These episodes will drop the last Friday of every month, adding to the ever maturing and complexity that is a "Today's Dad" ~ Enjoy

This week on the pod we are joined by dad to two and the Founder and CEO of PowerDot, Eric Glader! We spoke with Eric about a lot on the pod this week including Covids impact on his family, his wife’s work with Larry King (and how she is way cooler than him), why he created PowerDot and how important grit and determination are for parents and entrepreneurs. 

Eric’s Today’s Dad definition pays tribute to his father and the spirit he inherited from him. He talks about how a Today’s Dad has to be the crutch that leads his kids to the path but has to balance that with letting them walk freely. He says a Today’s Dad is present and sees what his children are doing and lets them see what he is doing. 

We really enjoyed our conversation with Eric! A big thanks to him for joining us on the show! The PowerDot team hooked our listeners up with 20% off their purchase at www.powerdot.com when you use the code “Dad20” at checkout. We love our PowerDots and know you will too!

This week on the pod we are joined by Frank Thorp. Frank is a dad to one, a two time Emmy nominated and Peabody winning journalist, a Producer & Off-air Reporter covering the US Senate for NBC News, and a dad living out his last few days on paternity leave. 

We sat down with Frank on Thursday night following the 2020 election and were fully prepared to watch the race get called while we recorded, but no such luck! We covered a lot with Frank from he and his partner, Hallie Jackson, making the decision for him to take a long paternity leave and his passion behind that, creating balance for their family with both him and Hallie being reporters, the challenge of having a newborn during Covid and so much more! 

Frank kicked us off with a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on being an active participant in parenting with your spouse/co-parent, empowering your partner and empowering yourself. A big thanks to Frank for joining us for a great episode.
