  • Being Comfortable In Your Own Skin With Megan Grassell

    I go to the darkest and deepest parts of the web. Although I found a ton of information that wasn’t even discussed in the episode, there was a consistent theme that was brought up in a lot of the interviews that she has been on and that was her age. Now, I don’t typically even bring up age, in fact, I hate it.

    We shouldn’t be defined by such novelty things like Age, gender, ethnicity, etc… but here we are. I did ask a few age related questions and even gender related questions. The answers that were given were absolutely inspirational. She is a young woman, managing those who are older than her and telling a story that allows her to make an impact in not only business, but the world.

    Her brand is incredible. I loved the conversation about the particular imaging of her brand, and also what her purpose is.

    One of the most unique and fun persons that I’ve interviewed to date.

    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.

  • Reflecting on Failure on the way to Building a Billion Dollar Company With Sahil Lavingia

    This was one of those episodes where I did a ton of research and only asked about half of what I originally wanted to ask. We went down several rabbit holes and it was awesome. Sahil was an incredible guest. He’s really offing smart. He’s self aware and thinks about the things that matter most to him.

    We talk about his most recent claim to fame which is his Medium articles. But we also talk about transparency, getting funding, ego, importance or lack there of of numbers, wasted time, and sending over 200 million dollars to creators.

    • How to Generate Referrals Without Asking with Stacey Brown Randall

      One of the more interesting parts of the conversation was if someone were to ask you how you’re doing, it’s the perfect time to simply respond with: Business is amazing and I’m having an incredible time getting referrals from my closest friends. I’m butchering the exact quote, but stay tuned to hear the full story. A large majority of this conversation is spent talking about referrals so if you’re struggling with referrals, then this podcast is for you.

    • Futbol, Storytelling, and Travel with Domenick Cucinotta

      On the episode we dive pretty deep into the creative mind of Dominick. I wanted to focus a large portion of my time with Dom to centered around his creative process. How does he think of ideas, what inspires him, how does he take notes, edit, etc.

      One of the hardest things about creating content is just being able to do it and making edits on the fly as you go. Dom’s ability to work with the worlds best, all while creating a great story is inspiring. Something to think about is that you don’t need to have the best equipment or the best lighting or the best story just yet. The best stories are the ones that are constantly being told.

    • Unleashing Your Presence with Julia Wojnar

      On the episode we talk about vulnerability, speaker preparation, grit, confidence, and more. I loved the story of when Julia was initially figuring her business out, she became vulnerable and opened up to high level folks at an event. That level of completely being herself allowed her to have amazing conversations and gained the trust of a few high level clients that initially got her business off the ground.
