Welcome to the Startup Dad Podcast

I started this podcast because I wanted to have a conversation about something we don’t normally talk about: fatherhood, company-building and making it all work. Each week I interview executives, entrepreneurs, and company leaders who are also fathers. We talk about the joyful and tough aspects of work, parenting, family, the mistakes made and lessons learned along the way. You can see all the episodes at www.startupdadpod.com and watch or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

❤️ Some love for the Startup Dad Pod ❤️

“THANK YOU SO MUCH for launching the Startup Dad podcast! There are so many startup podcasts with advice on how to build your business. There are so few addressing the intricacies of personal/startup life like yours.”
“I f-ing love your podcast. Probably the most real and genuine convos on casts in such a long time. I also love the theme of personal challenges and struggle. It resonates so much and I know its not just me - we are all dealing with loss and we never talk about it. Some of these stories hearing what other people have been through has reminded us how human the process of loss is and to be grateful for what we have. Anyway love this pod man. You are favorited in my apple pod section.”
“Love this podcast. People treat work like it exists solely on its own. I love hearing about the combination of work and personal stuff. Such a great intimate conversation that feels different from the other blah podcasts out there. It’s an automatic listen for me each week.”
We’re going through the surrogacy process at the moment and finding it extremely emotional and tiring. I took a screenshot and sent the podcast email to everyone saying ‘I have NEVER seen anything like this on any of the tech blogs, start up podcasts, etc. that I read.’ THANKS FOR COVERING THIS!”
As I told @mauskopf afterwards, this podcast was better than therapy. Thank you for having us on Startup Dad. (from @sm)
