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.

I’ve known Aaron for a few years now. He’s been a partner of ours at Penji. We’ve gone to his events and they are game changing. The New York market is different from Philadelphia at least and if you want to get a better idea of that, go to Propelify.

It’s October 3rd and Penji will be a sponsor. Aaron shares a few stories about his personal life and also his grind. The one thing that has been constant throughout Aaron’s life has been empowering the next generation of innovators.

I think the overall bottom line learning experience is the idea of idea creation to idea implementation. Aaron started this as a meet up and then it turned into a 10,000 plus person event and has been consistent for years. The conversations that Aaron has had with others and within himself shows his calculated approach to life.

Financial freedom is something we all want in life, but it’s diffitcult to make it work for you. The idea that is engrained into our heads as an adult is to make money while you sleep and make money for you for you and not you for your money.

Brad breaks down financial freedom in a very easy to understand way. I loved his stories about the niche websites he’s created and how it generates some income for him. Really cool. Also love how much he understands himself. He knows what he likes, he knows what he wants to invest his time and money into, and lives his life on his terms.

I think one of the hardest things to do as a business owner or even a human being is to understand what you want in life. I see companies failing due to the founder or leader not understanding what they want and if you’re clear and honest with yourself up front first, then the rest will be easier to achieve. If you want to make 100,000k then so be it. But if you want more, you have to build the right systems in order to make it possible. And be willing to make the appropriate sacrifices in order to make sure it’s all possible. Brad does just that and I absolutely loved this episode. I hope you do too.

We talk about fashion, how it relates to being different. We talk about community building and go into great lengths about this topic. We theorize a bit and go down a few rabbit holes. This episode should be replayed in every entrepreneurship or business 101 courses in college. JB puts on a clinic to the foundation of why we are in business and how to do it right.

John is a pioneer. In my opinion, he started the podcast movement. Podcasts weren’t cool until JLD did something unprecendent which was to great a daily show highlighting the stories of entrepreneurs. Now from his hard work and grit, there are hundreds if not thousands of people modeling their businesses around his success.

On this episode we talk about the growing the EOFIRE brand. We even talk about staying true to oneself. John mentions that he could easily make the company bigger, but traveling, exploring, and learning about oneself is most important to him. I admire that. It takes a lot of discipline and knowing oneself.

I’ve been using HARO for a number of years. In fact, it was one of the first free services I used in order to get Penji press, backlinks, mentions etc. In my opinion it is a business staple and I was incredibly grateful to speak and thank the person who started it all.

Peter is as real as it gets. From the stories he shared about his family/personal life to the in-depth story about how important hiring is. Finding the right person or people is critical to one’s success and I hope you particularly perk your ears up when Peter talks about what he does when he hires a new employee.
