Decision to put 100% Dad on the backburner
I won’t shy away from excuses. I put a rapidly growing brand and influencer platform on the back burner. The choice was pretty simple. We were traveling the country as a family and touring the brand. In the process as the Instagram platform became more and more popular, I found myself missing more and more […]

Dads and Money
Finance, one of my favorite subjects!! It’s an area that is imperative for dads to understand if not master. Money is not everything but it sure does help.

How Great Dads Prepare for the Teenage Years
PREPARING FOR TEENAGE YEARS “The trouble with teenagers is they don’t listen.” There is some truth to that. It’s also part baloney.
