  • 74: Skyler Scarlett | CEO of GLACÉ CRYOTHERAPY

We offer a one of a kind therapy that can help with pain management and athletic recovery.

Name: Skyler Scarlett Name of Business: GLACÉ CRYOTHERAPY Website: www.glacecryotherapy.com

    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.

  • 72: Frankie Vignone | CEO of Frankly Fit

    Started in July of 2016, Frankly Fit was founded with a simple goal in mind, “To help men and women achieve peak performance in health and wellness so they can reclaim their energy, focus, and vitality at home and on the road.” As a traveling salesman, I know how difficult it can be to maintain your health and fitness while on the road. That’s why, after years of trial and error, I decided to share my knowledge with the world to make sure that you have a step by step system to easily and consistently maintain great health while on the road. There is no B.S. or theory here. Everything that I teach has been tried and tested on the ultimate human guinea pig… Me! No matter what your health and fitness challenges, I have been there and have created the programs to help you overcome whatever you are facing.
