Help! We Have A Teenager!
September 28, 2021 11:15 - 28 minutes - 32.6 MBEpisode 101 is coming out as a celebration of my little girl becoming a not so little girl anymore. We have done the parental thing: we've blinked our eyes and this little human that was seriously just taking her first steps and just saying her first word is now turning 13 years old. How in the world does this happen? I don't even personally know Doc Brown, so how would I have borrowed his Delorean and accelerated it to 88 to get to where we are now?! So, the cliche is true. They all may ...
Never Too Late To Live
August 31, 2021 11:15 - 42 minutes - 58.5 MBEpisode 100 of the podcast is here! Appropriately so, it's me talking about some corners I have turned in my life recently and my hope to inspire YOU to be able to do the same. This may need to be categorized as a TimTalk (is that a thing? Can I ™ that, or WHAT?!). Quickly, I didn't acknowledge one time that this is my 100th episode. Shame on me for that. I will properly cheer on the next episode as we work on the second set of 100 episodes, eh? As a human who happened to have been born a...
Destini Manifests Kindness For All
July 28, 2021 11:15 - 1 hour - 89 MBEpisode 99 features a glorious human being: Destini Ann. If you've seen her on Instagram or Twitter, you may recognize her more as ManifestDestini. If you're on TikTok, go find her as DestiniAnn. Oh, you're not on TikTok? Well, she's got over 1 million followers there now... so go see why so many other people love hearing from Destini! I'm thrilled that Destini is now the second guest of my newest series: "Who Tells Your Story?" She is so "on the verge" of blowing up even more right now th...
Father's Day 2021
June 21, 2021 11:15 - 45 minutes - 62.6 MBEpisode 98 is my annual Father's Day episode. Last year was the first year I didn't post one of these. Fittingly, as we sat today (on Father's Day) and tried to remember what our family actually did to celebrate Father's Day last year: we did nothing. So, it works out that I didn't record or post my normal episode that year, either. I recorded this episode the day before Father's Day this time 'round... which means that I recorded it on Juneteenth. I talked in this episode about some of th...
Dave Almy: The Words That Changed His Life
May 25, 2021 11:15 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBEpisode 97 is a bit of a rollercoaster episode with Dave Almy. A very honest and real conversation, that has a lot of laughs and an almost equal number of moments that cause to take great pause. This episode was recorded almost exactly 2 years ago. I continued to hold this for the right time and that time is now! It's finally ready to be out here for your consumption. I'm gonna give a quick shout-out to previous guest of the podcast: Bruce Mendelsohn, for connecting Dave and me for this con...
WHAT Makes Jess Rosado Feel Like An Odd Bird Out?
April 14, 2021 11:15 - 1 hour - 74 MBEpisode 5 of "We're Here Alone Together" (W.H.A.T.) features Jess Rosado: blogger, photographer, designer, mom and creative extraordinaire. You should find her @OddBirdOut on Instagram really quick. Go go go. This is Episode 96 of the podcast. Jess and I have known each other since maybe 2005 or so, and we met via the world of Flickr. We talked a little about that early time, the social media platform we were on before the words "social media" were such a mainstay. Jess talked about how m...
The Her-Story of Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, Pt. 2
March 02, 2021 12:10 - 1 hour - 97.1 MBEpisode 95 features Icelandic visual artist Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. Is there such a thing as "admiration at first sight" that is similar in its nature to the whole "love at first sight" thing? I have to assume there is... and that is what my relationship with Rebekka is rooted in. I'm excited that she becomes the first guest of my newest series: "Who Tells Your Story?" This is the second half of our long conversation. Did you listen to the 1st half? If you didn't... seriously, you need to g...
The Her-Story of Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, Pt. 1
February 09, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 94.8 MBEpisode 94 features Icelandic visual artist Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. Is there such a thing as "admiration at first sight" that is similar in its nature to the whole "love at first sight" thing? I have to assume there is... and that is what my relationship with Rebekka is rooted in. I'm excited that she becomes the first guest of my newest series: "Who Tells Your Story?" The year was 2005. I was dating my now wife. I was working at my old job that had me traveling around the world... quite a ...
Our Mental Health In 2021
January 28, 2021 12:15 - 43 minutes - 49.6 MBEpisode 93 is the first of 2021 and a brief check-in for all of us on our mental well-being. Literally for all of us: myself very much included. The world has changed a ton for a lot of us since we turned the pages on calendars from 2020 to 2021. Or has it? That's an actual question I wanted to sit down with for this episode. 2020 was not the best year ever for so many of us. I feel pretty safe saying that. I mean, unless you're Jeff Bezos or one of the other billionaires that just got ev...
2020 Yields A Bountiful Thanksgiving Cornucopia
November 25, 2020 12:15 - 51 minutes - 59.6 MBEpisode 92 is my 3rd Thanksgiving episode. Last year's episode was heavily inspired by the life of Mr. Rogers and featured an inspiring message and challenge based on the kindness represented by Mr. Rogers' legacy. This year's episode is painted more with the current landscape of our country and, really, our planet during the fall and winter months of 2020. With everything going on in the world right now, I decided to just take some of it on with this solo, guest-less episode. I think, in ...
Chris Colbert Reminds Us To Say Their Name
October 27, 2020 11:15 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBEpisode 91 features Chris Colbert, the CEO of DCP Entertainment, which just launched a new show titled "Say Their Name". We talk about that podcast a lot in this episode, let me first tell you about Chris. He began his career in audio production over a decade ago as an intern and consultant for Sirius Satellite Radio (now SiriusXM Radio). While simultaneously earning his degree from Seton Hall University, he helped create Oscar and Grammy award winner Jamie Foxx’s comedy and music channel “T...
David Gans: A Life Beautifully Improvised
October 06, 2020 11:15 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBEpisode 90 features David Gans, songwriter, musician, author, photographer, radio host of The Grateful Dead Hour... and, what did I miss? I've recently released a few episodes recorded pre-Covid. This is another of those and, again, I kind of like hearing these conversations during what was a simpler, much different time. This conversation took place near New Year's 2019, believe it or not. A number of reasons held this one back so long, including other podcasts in the Osiris Media family re...
WHAT Would The Red Sox Do Without Photographer Billie Weiss?
September 23, 2020 11:30 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBEpisode 5 of "We're Here Alone Together" (W.H.A.T.) features Billie Weiss, the Senior Manager of Photography for the Boston Red Sox. If you, like me, follow him on social media, you may actually think his name is BJ Weiss. That's merely his handle on most of social media, however... so go find him as @BJWeiss22 on both Instagram and Twitter. Okay... I assume you handled following him on social media now so you can better follow who this artiste is (that is not a typo... he absolutely is mo...
Damon Miller Is Surfing Life's Big Waves
September 01, 2020 11:15 - 1 hour - 50.5 MBEpisode 88 features Damon Miller, a CEO and longtime surfer from Oregon. This is another blast from the past episode, actually recorded in the summer of 2019. I started to feel the guilt while editing this recently of it taking me so long to get to... but I actually really enjoy the nostalgia of hearing these conversations that happen pre-Covid, if I'm being honest. Damon starts us off, going back to his great grandfather moving to the Miami area from Wisconsin back in the 1920's. His great...
WHAT Gave Ashley Girres A Fierce Mind?
August 11, 2020 11:15 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBEpisode 4 of "We're Here Alone Together" (W.H.A.T.) features Ashley Girres, an author and Mom very well known on Twitter as @aFierceMind. Just pause right now and get onto Twitter and go follow her. I'll wait for you to take care of that. Good... you're back. Thanks for doing that. Actually: you're welcome for that. You'll thank me. Ashley has been making me LOL for quite some time now with her incredibly witty tweets. Not just that, but she is also immensely bold, honest, and real. I star...
Black Lives (More Than) Matter
July 21, 2020 11:15 - 54 minutes - 63 MBBlack Lives Matter. If you can't say that, or can't agree with it: this just may not be the episode for you. I paused while typing these show notes right after those 2 sentences there. Like I was standing at a 4-way intersection, deciding which path to take. Do I go for simplicity and a bereft approach (unlike the actual episode itself) and just leave those sentences as the entirety of the notes? That would feel "cool" to do... kind of like a big mic drop. But, not a smart SEO move, right?...
WHAT Ofosu Thinks Of Racial Equality & Finding Balance
June 16, 2020 11:09 - 1 hour - 78.2 MBOfosu of the Balance meditation app is my guest for Episode 85. Ofosu is also known in the music world as "Born I", and you can find his music basically everywhere (Soundcloud, Spotify, Youtube). This is the 3rd of the "We're Here, Alone Together" episodes; meaning we don't really get into the whole fatherhood side of things. We recorded this episode on June 6, 2020, just 12 days after the murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis. I have been very outspoken about how much m...
WHAT Is Life Like For Dr. Ana In Romania?
May 26, 2020 11:15 - 51 minutes - 59.7 MBThe 2nd Episode of my side series of the Daddy Unscripted podcast: We're Here Alone Together (W.H.A.T.) features my longtime friend Ana who is a doctor in Bucharest, Romania. When I started this side project of my podcast, I immediately thought of Ana and a conversation I had with her a little over a month ago about how things got out of control quickly with the spread of the Corona Virus. The stories she told were both fascinating and immensely troubling. Ana talked about a large number...
Matt Darwin's Family Is Growing
May 13, 2020 11:15 - 1 hour - 102 MBEpisode 83: Matt Darwin, listener of the podcast, becomes an important guest! Matt was so real, honest, and open in this conversation about the path for him and his wife from having an only child to adding a 4th to their little family of 3. Matt normally would be making the commute to his law firm in Manhattan from his home in New Jersey on the daily. But, at the time we recorded this (April 8, 2020), shelter-in-place and quarantine life had been underway for close to a month. We spent some...
WHAT Does Jose Rosado Do For Mental Health?
May 06, 2020 11:15 - 41 minutes - 48.8 MBThe official First Episode of my side series of the Daddy Unscripted podcast: We're Here Alone Together (W.H.A.T.) is here. My guest is Jose Rosado, who was on Daddy Unscripted Episodes 7 and 10. If you remember, Jose was instrumental in helping Daddy Unscripted become a podcast. A big part of that is because Jose had his own podcast going strong back then: The Angry Millenial Podcast. Jose works in the Mental Health field and his family of four live in Maryland. His wife (Jess) and I have...
What is WHAT?
May 06, 2020 11:15 - 11 minutes - 13.8 MBThe Introductory episode to the Daddy Unscripted side subset of episodes called We're Here Alone Together aka W.H.A.T. As I was recording a Live Youtube video on April 11, a vague notion I had became a solid plan. I was talking about "how are we coping with this new world right now" with Aaron and Apple from the No Simple Road podcast and Mike Finoia from the Amigos podcast. You can watch that video on the Osiris Media youtube channel, by the way. I had already completed my 2-part episodes...
Love In The Time Of Covid, Pt. 2
April 06, 2020 11:15 - 46 minutes - 53.4 MBEpisode 80 is another solo episode, sans guest, and the final half of my thoughts on the place we all find ourselves in currently: in the middle of this global pandemic of Covid-19 or the Corona Virus. I recorded this episode on Friday, April 3, 2020. I'm typing this on Sunday, April 5, and the current statistics are 1,266,614 cases, 69,169 deaths and 260,967 recoveries worldwide this afternoon. That means there were more than 200,000 new cases, 11,000 new deaths and 33,000 new recoveries ov...
Love in the Time of Covid, Pt. 1
March 30, 2020 11:15 - 29 minutes - 34.1 MBEpisode 79 is another solo episode, sans guest. As we find ourselves in the middle of this global pandemic, I felt compelled to speak a little in regards to how this affects all of us, whether it is us as parents, our children, our own parents. All humans are in some way having their lives changed by the existence of Covid-19 or the Corona Virus. If you've been following along with your Daddy Unscripted handbook for a while, you know that I manage an animal hospital as my 9-5 job. Managing ...
Matt Sienkiewicz: Breaking the Bad Dad
March 10, 2020 11:30 - 1 hour - 112 MBEpisode 78 is an incredibly open, honest, deep and real conversation with associate professor and author Matt Sienkiewicz. This episode was recorded a year ago, I hate to say. Due to some significant technical issues, it's just now finally seeing the light of day. I am not going to publicly flog myself too much for that. It is what it is at this point and I couldn't feel more guilty and apologetic about it to Matt. But, with that said: I didn't give up and it's here! Aged like a fine wine t...
Jason Ronk: How Struggles Can Shape A Beautiful Life Pt. 2
February 04, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 81.5 MBEpisode 77 is the second half of my conversation with fellow music fan, recovered alcoholic, remarkable stay-at-home Dad and future podcaster: Jason Ronk. We pick up the conversation right where Part 1 left off (if you didn't hear that yet, take the time to go back... great stuff in there and, you know, it's part 1 of 2. Would you watch The Godfather II without devouring the original first?) Jason takes us back into his mid-'90s history and what music really started to do for him at that ...
Jason Ronk: How Struggles Can Shape A Beautiful Life Pt. 1
January 14, 2020 12:00 - 54 minutes - 50.8 MBEpisode 76 is the first half of my conversation with fellow music fan, recovered alcoholic, remarkable stay-at-home Dad and future podcaster: Jason Ronk. We started out the episode with some singing out the praises of the Moms out there. I did a little bit of the stay-at-home / work-from-home Dad situation with my first-born. Jason definitely is having a longer go at it than I did. Pretty much every SAHD I have talked about that job with has just gotten on their knees to bow in reverence to...
Amar Sastry: Anatomy Of A Man Who Jams Pt. 2
December 24, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBEpisode 75 is the second half of my conversation with musician, podcaster, Youtuber, Dad and all-around awesome guy: Amar Sastry. You may know Amar from his Anatomy of a Jam series on Youtube or his tweets breaking down and playing portions of Phish songs on his acoustic guitar or his work on the Osiris Media podcast network's video version of The Drop (which is also done as a podcast). Amar is all over the map... in a very good way. If you didn't somehow catch the first part of our convers...
Amar Sastry: Anatomy Of A Man Who Jams Pt. 1
December 17, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBEpisode 74 is the first half of my conversation with musician, podcaster, Youtuber, Dad and all-around awesome guy: Amar Sastry. You may know Amar from his Anatomy of a Jam series on Youtube or his tweets breaking down and playing portions of Phish songs on his acoustic guitar or his work on the Osiris Media podcast network's video version of The Drop (which is also done as a podcast). Amar is all over the map... in a very good way. We kicked off the episode talking about a lot of the "new...
Dave Goldstein: Beyond & Back in Pt. 2
December 03, 2019 12:30 - 57 minutes - 53.5 MBEpisode 73 features half of the tandem that puts together the "Beyond The Pond" podcast, Dave Goldstein. This is the 2nd and final part of my conversation with Dave, whose podcast is another from our glorious Osiris Media podcast network. This episode picks up right where the 1st ended, with Dave starting to talk about him and his wife's decision to have a second child. His story starts off with the re-telling of the pregnancy that followed their oldest daughter. The very unfortunate and tr...
A Thanksgiving Challenge Inspired By Mr. Rogers
November 27, 2019 12:30 - 35 minutes - 33.4 MBEpisode 72 is another of my solo Thanksgiving episodes. This one is very unique and heavily inspired by my having just seen the new movie focusing on the life of Mr. Rogers starring Tom Hanks titled "A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood". It was my birthday the night that I recorded this episode actually: Monday, November 25th. When my wife asked me the week before my birthday how I wanted to celebrate, I told her that beyond anything else, I wanted to go and see this new Mr. Rogers movie w...
Dave Goldstein Goes Beyond Pt. 1
November 20, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBEpisode 71 features half of the tandem that puts together the "Beyond The Pond" podcast, Dave Goldstein. Dave adds to my list of guests that come from our glorious Osiris Media podcast network. I was thrilled when Dave reached out to me about being on the podcast. I had his partner from the BtP podcast, Brian Brinkman, on the podcast a little over a year ago for Episodes 50 & 51. They do such a great job with their podcast and, honestly, I have always dug Dave's voice from their episodes th...
Griffin House - Family Man & Rising Star
October 02, 2019 11:30 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBEpisode 70 features singer-songwriter Griffin House. Griffin has been making music for over 15 years now and he is still working hard and remaining incredibly true to himself and who he wants to be as an artist. When Griffin's management contacted me about having him on the podcast, quite frankly, I had to rush to the internet to see who this guy was. I spent the next ten minutes or so reading various bios and snippets of interviews and album reviews and my interest was open to the idea. Th...
My Suicide Story
September 20, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 70.2 MBThe "guest" in Episode 69 is actually me. It's me talking about suicide, including the story about the night I tried to kill myself a little over 25 years ago. I've touched on this topic with a few of my guests, at all different levels. Most significantly, perhaps, back in Episode 62 with Bill Protzmann, where he shares the story of the night music saved him from trying to take his own life some years ago. It's been something other guests have discussed: having suicidal thoughts at times of...
Chris Illuminati: More Than A Message With A Bottle
August 27, 2019 12:00 - 59 minutes - 55.2 MBEpisode 68 features Chris Illuminati. Chris is an author, blogger, superstar on Instagram (that’s totally a thing), former stand-up comedian and a father of two. I was following Chris on his Instagram account (@messagewithabottle) for a while when one of our mutual friends reached out to me, dumbstruck that they had never suggested a collaboration between us for Daddy Unscripted. So, big shout-out to Jessica and Jose for paving the road for this to happen. Let’s start this post with where w...
Aaron's Life Has Been No Simple Road
August 15, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBEpisode 67 features Aaron of one of the fellow Osiris Media network podcasts: No Simple Road. I'm so incredibly proud and honored and humbled to be a part of the Osiris Podcast family. I really am. I've met some great people through our other podcasts and I've had some great guests on from the podcasts, as well. Aaron is another in that continually growing list. Yes. I admit that the title of this episode is sort of hokey. Because, yeah... his podcast is called No Simple Road and all. But, ...
Jeff Brunner is NOT Jeff Brunner
July 09, 2019 11:33 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBEpisode 66 starts off with quite the game show loser sound from old Price is Right episodes. I really got my hat handed to me in like the first 30 seconds of my conversation with my friend Jeff. Very significant emphasis on the word "friend" there. For a very good reason. You'll have to listen to the episode to get the reasoning behind all of this because typed words really don't do justice to my falling on my face. I have known Jeff and his wife since some time in 2006. We met via Flickr. ...
Jon Bailey of 2 Dads With Baggage
June 25, 2019 11:31 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBEpisode 65 features Jon Bailey, half of the "2 Dads With Baggage" you may know from Instagram, Twitter or their website. As is par for the course of the podcast: Jon and I talked about the history of his family for a bit to start. We didn't dig into these things explicitly, but it was very interesting that he had family members that came to America on the Mayflower in the 1600's. Jon talked about the very loving family that he was raised in. It was his big brother and himself, with their M...
Father's Day 2019
June 17, 2019 11:23 - 25 minutes - 23.8 MBEpisode 64 is time for my annual Father's Day episode. Though I do this every year, it's not the same every year. Because of a few things going on with people around me and people I'm talking to, this episode kind of caught me by surprise with the direction it took. Unscripted. You got that part of the title of the podcast, right? I almost wrote out a script for this episode, believe it or not. I think if I had, and maybe even did that every day for a week, it would be quite different each...
Adam Scheinberg: The Path Music Set For His Life
June 04, 2019 11:13 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBEpisode 63 features Adam Scheinberg, who wears and has worn many hats in his life. Adam is the architect of Phish.net (as you know it today). He also did a lot of the masterminding of AllThings.Umphreys.com and does a major portion of the web work for them. If that somehow isn't enough for you (because it wasn't for Adam!), he is also the president of the Mockingbird Foundation. Adam was directed to me by Brando Rich of Cash or Trade (you may remember him from episode 54). Adam had helped w...
Bill Protzmann: The Life Saving Power of Music
May 16, 2019 11:09 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBEpisode 62 features a semi-lengthy and fully beautiful conversation with Bill Protzmann, a man with a unique and fascinating life story. The common thread weaving through Bill's entire life is music. And it's music that literally saved his life, some nearly 12 years ago now. Bill and I started talking and I could quickly tell this was going to be another great discussion. I won't deny it, there have been times when I've second-guessed the idea of doing all of these "interviews" unscripted. ...
Rob Gorski: The Autism Dad
April 30, 2019 13:34 - 1 hour - 81 MBIn episode 61, I had a life-altering conversation with Rob Gorski, creator of "The Autism Dad". Life-altering is an appropriate and not exaggerated description of our discussion. I, of course, am hopeful it has anywhere close to that effect and meaning for at least some of you. As I said in my intro: Rob is one of those people that, to me, are deserving of the title "hero". Truly. Rob's ability to overcome some of the challenges he and his family are faced with is the stuff heroes are made ...
Will Henson: Living a Unique Adventure
April 02, 2019 13:04 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBIn episode 60, Will Henson tells us all about the adventures of his life. These are not just his adventures, but those of his Dad and his Mom during his youth, as well. Will came to the podcast via Episode 56's guest Jon Loomis. So, a special thanks to Jon for leading such a great man to Daddy Unscripted. When Will first emailed me, I couldn't have been more surprised by some of the things he quickly mentioned about his childhood. His parents' research of bats and mentioning to me that he ...
Benjamin Dixon Is Building A Great Legacy
March 12, 2019 13:39 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBAnother episode that Twitter gets a lot of the glory for bringing me yet another fantastic guest. I am not one to spend my time in just one arena. I think that goes for pretty much all aspects of my life. True, when I get into something I really get into that something. But, I throw my net pretty wide. For some years now, I have been extremely interested in the things that are not right in front of my face. That meant looking outside of mainstream media and network news. This opened my eyes...
David Newhan: Living a Major League Miracle
February 19, 2019 14:29 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBIn Episode 58, former major league baseball player David Newhan tells some remarkable stories. He fought through his minor league journey and when his shot for making a big league roster arrived, he made it impossible for them to put him back on the bench. When he had a horrific accident nearly 10 years ago, he fought, quite literally, for his life with that very same tenacity. In October of 2016, Episodes 19 & 20 of the podcast featured my conversations with hall of fame baseball writer Ro...
Michael Shields: Writer, Podcaster, Father
January 29, 2019 14:29 - 1 hour - 61 MBEpisode 57 features Michael Shields, editor in chief of Across The Margin (in its written and Podcast format). Michael not only has his "Beyond The Margin" podcast on the Osiris Podcast Network; he also is a part of the Welcome To The Party, Pal podcast and the God, Ween, Evan podcast. Yeah... I thought I was busy, too. Michael finds time for all of this, somehow, as well as for being a Dad! Michael and I have wanted to sit down and do an episode for my podcast for a long time now. Somehow,...
Jon Loomis of Baseballism
January 08, 2019 13:04 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBFor Episode 56, Jon Loomis, one of the founders of Baseballism, talks about his Dad, his childhood, his early relationship with his wife, being a Dad and what led to the creation of Baseballism as we know it today. For you fans and regulars of the podcast: you know about my love for baseball. I haven't been as direct, however, about my tremendous respect for well-run and unique companies/brands. So, diving into the people behind Baseballism to inquire about good guests for the podcasts wasn...
Former MLB Pitcher Ryan Dempster
December 18, 2018 13:25 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBEpisode 55, the final episode of 2018, features Ryan Dempster as my guest. I am not going to be presumptuous about your knowledge of who that is. So, here's some details before we get too far. Ryan is a former MLB pitcher. He came up through the Florida Marlins organization and eventually went on to play for the Red, Cubs, Rangers and Red Sox. His longest stint was that of 8 seasons with the Chicago Cubs and he finished his career with the Boston Red Sox. Not just because of my ridiculous ...
Brando Rich of Cash or Trade
December 03, 2018 13:37 - 1 hour - 61 MBEpisode 54 is my conversation with Brando Rich, co-founder of "Cash or Trade". If you enjoy going to concerts, you should definitely check Cash or Trade out (either via their website or their app on your smartphone). Brando and I took a long walk down his life's road before we got to where he is today. He told a lot of stories about his childhood in the Northeast. I really enjoyed the tales that went beyond teenage mischief about himself and his brother. As teenagers, their love for music a...
Evan Kaufman: Formerly a Dude, Now a Dad (and so much more...)
November 16, 2018 14:37 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBIn Episode 53, you'll get to meet the hilarious Evan Kaufman. Evan is another fellow plate-spinner, like me, tackling numerous projects all at once and laughing in the face of fear of new(ish) parenthood whilst doing so. You might even say he guffaws at it. People may look at you funny if you do. But, go ahead. Try it anyway. We really tackled a lot of different topics in this conversation. We kicked right in with a discussion about the early phases of a baby and the common difficulty of th...
