Startup Dad

This is my first ever review for a podcast but I felt compelled to write it. Adam always interviews thoughtful and ambitious dads who are in the thick of building both loving families and great businesses at the same time. There’s a small but growing number of us out there, and as a new dad who cares a lot about his family and business, this podcast is the perfect kind of community and inspiration I needed to keep growing both intentionally. Adam’s also a great podcast host, very conversational and asks thoughtful questions. I’m looking forward to participating more in this community of “ambitious dads” !

As a father of two who has been in principle and csuite roles for more than two decades, I thought this podcast could be relevant. I was wrong. It’s a man pontificating as if most people in tech aren’t men and aren’t father already. This provided no insight or inspiration, was a waste of my time. I beg the creator to just think for a second - is this helpful for our current climate?

Such a lovely and much needed show for dads (and moms!) alike. Love Adam.

Adam had me on his show recently and all I can say is what a breath of fresh air! Sure, talking about my kids and fourth child (aka my startup) is the way to my heart – but jokes aside, the intersection between fatherhood and the workplace is such an important conversation that we aren’t having often enough. I’m excited to listen along and learn a thing or two from other startup dads.
