Working Dads

What can I say about this episode you are about to endure. It's so good. I unfortunately only had about 30 minutes for this conversation and I wanted to respect Bob's time as much as I could. I've read his books (Most are easy reads) and had a ton of questions.

You can check this out and more questions during the episode. Quick note, Check out Bob's podcast, the links are in the show notes, and also gave him a special shoutout at the very end of this episode to get a glimpse of what to expect from his FB live and podcast series.

For dads figuring out work, family, and everything in between.

Nobody prepares you for this.

Not the guilt of leaving for work when your kid is still asleep. Not the pressure of providing for a family while trying to build something that actually matters. Not the identity crisis that hits when you realize you're not just the guy who grinds anymore — you're somebody's dad. And that changes everything.

I started Working Dads because I lived that. I'm co-founder of Penji, husband to Emily, and dad to a two-year-old who already has more energy than I do. I've been bootstrapping a company for over a decade and I still don't have it all figured out. But I've learned that the most dangerous thing a working dad can do is try to figure it out alone.

So every week I sit down with founders, executives, investors, and everyday dads who are in the thick of it. We talk about the real stuff. The marriage conversations you keep avoiding. The financial pressure nobody admits to. The moment your kid looks up at you and you realize you've been somewhere else even though you've been standing right there.

We've also got Built During Bedtime — my weekly newsletter for working dads. The one thing I write after my daughter goes to sleep. Straight to your inbox. No fluff.

And we've got a community. Slack channel and Facebook group full of dads who get it. The kind of guys you can be honest with. The kind of friendships that actually go somewhere.

Come find your people.

As mentioned, I myself tried veganism and I did a crap job at it. I lost a ton of weight and was pretty un healthy, even though you usually simulate good healthy with vegans.

Throughout the years, I’ve slowly cut meat out of my life. I am primarily eating vegetarian, but occasionally love some form of carnivorous meal here and there. My reason for interviewing Eric was to let make you all aware of the possibilities. Eric has a job, runs a blog, trains for marathons, and eats vegan. It’s possible. And you can do it too. I hope you get a lot out of this episode.

Goldie talks about how difficult it is to achieve this and that she wouldn't wish daily videos on her worst enemy. But the quote that stuck with me the most during my interview was when Goldie said:"that's part of building relationships is actually caring about the other party."

Whether you're creating content online in the form of blogs, podcasts, or even video. Think about and care for the other person on the receiving end. Is this content worth it?

If the answer is no or even a 1% chance of a no. Delete it and start over. and make it in a way where you are in fact making it worth while for the other person.

Goldie does an absolutely incredible job not only being consistent with her content, but showcasing that authenticity and care.

Living a dream life is well, a dream. When we think of the word success, we think of many things, but the one thing that I know for a fact we all think about is that when we say to ourselves: "When I am successful, I'm going to travel to..."

To Hanna living a dream life, means living a life by her own means. And that includes travel and living a lifestyle she is happy with. It's always nice to hear someone else's dream and finding out how they are doing it. The sections of this interview that were the most powerful was when we talked about Hanna living a former life she hated and what she would do in order to never live that lifestyle again.

The second part would be the various excuses we all make within ourselves. Hanna grew up in a small town, travels the world, yet still finds time to get herself out there to networking online, and obtain clients.

When a primarily young business owner encounters a problem within their business or within their experience with a company, their first reaction is to get paranoid and either cancel a contract or create a public scene.

Again, this can be in the form of a Facebook rant or just randomly cancelling of a service without any real reason.

Think of it this way, if you were to go to a restaurant and you ordered a steak. It wasn’t done exactly the way you wanted it. How do you act? Do you send it back and ask for another, do you storm out of the restaurant, or do you make a scene?

After the recording of this interview, I got to learn Jered even more so than just talking about business. What I like about his approach to business is genuine, honest, and caring. He's a good guy and someone that you can trust. He's one of those guys where even if you don't have the best experience with One Pitch, he's going to do everything in his power to get it right.

The good thing for Jered is that he may not have to do that too often because OnePitch is an amazing service. PR is one of those things that we all know we need, but it's difficult to get right, I've been using OnePitch for a few months now, and this is not a paid endorsement, but I love the simplicity of the service. It makes PR more manageable.

In the episode we talk about how in order to get the higher tier press, you primarily have to build a foundation. That begins with a good story. Most businesses try to go big and directly after the Forbes and Inc's of the world. But maybe start small and work your way up.

None of these approaches are revolutionary. In fact, you’re not going to make a million bucks from it. In fact, you may not even make $100. But it’s the process that will allow you to make the money you long for.
