    📱Influencer Ads: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

    In this episode of Dishing with Dad, Mark and Alexis break down influencer ads—the ones that work, the ones that don’t, and the ones that make you immediately hit “skip.” From authenticity and trust to oversaturation and bad brand matches, they talk through what actually resonates with them as viewers and consumers. This is a candid, generational conversation about marketing in the creator economy, how ads shape our buying decisions, and why some influencer partnerships feel natural while others miss the mark. --🎵 Music: Trip by Scandinavianz   / scandinavianz  License: Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://audiolibrary.com.co/scandinav...Music promoted by Audio Library:    • DAILY No Copyright For You – Trip by Scandinavianz

    College Days & Side Conversations

    Dishing with Dad: College Days & Side Conversations In our first long-form episode of Dishing with Dad, we start by reminiscing about college—then vs. now—through a father-daughter lens. From how campus life has changed to the lessons that somehow stick, the conversation quickly turns into what we do best: dishing. Along the way, we veer into unexpected topics (including wine tasting), generational differences, and the kind of side conversations that happen when you’re catching up at the table a little longer than planned. No script, no rush—just stories, memories, and whatever else comes up. Pull up a chair and join us. Topics include: College life: then vs. nowGenerational perspectivesWine tasting (yes, really)Side conversations and life reflectionsThe joy of talking just to talk🍷🎓🍽️

  6. Why We Hit Record

    Why We Hit Record

    This first episode is us pulling the curtain back on why Dishing with Dad exists at all. We talk about how our regular check-ins became a space to think out loud together—about work, change, and whatever else life is throwing our way—and why it felt right to start recording those conversations. You’ll hear a little of our family backstory, how we’ve stayed close across different seasons of life, and what it looks like when a dad and daughter meet each other where they are, without an agenda. What to expect going forward: conversations about AI and film, plenty of Formula 1 talk, updates on Dad’s job search, and whatever else happens to be on our minds that week.
