EP 247 Cool Dads Talking Fatherhood with Jonathan Guerrero and Rupesh N. Bhambwani
My guests this week are two extremely important dads when it comes to the world of fatherhood.
Rupesh Bhambwani is a distinguished individual who wears multiple hats with aplomb. His most cherished role is that of a Dad, a title he holds with immense pride. The priceless moments he shares with his children as they grow are the highlights of his life.
On the professional front, he boasts a distinguished career spanning over 25 years in the domains of Tech and Telecomms. He is highly regarded as a seasoned Business Leader, renowned for his exceptional Advisory and consulting services to companies.
He has also established Cool Dads' Club, India's Premier Dad Community (https://cooldadsclub.start.page/), and is a Founding Member of the prestigious Global Dads Council.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/rupeshbhambwani/
Jonathan Guerrero is the Producer of the syndicated radio program and podcast called The Fatherhood Challenge. The purpose and mission of The Fatherhood Challenge is to turn the hearts of fathers to their children. Production includes both full length episodes of about 30 minutes and PSA's, both 30sec and 1min.
He is also Chief Operations Officer at DreamWeaver Therapy PLLC. My role includes website development and maintenance, content development, and podcast producer. It is an absolute joy to support an organization that gives a helping hand and lifts up those who are trying to help others in their communities. There are almost no easily accessible resources for therapists and caregivers when they need it the most. They are human, too, and need support on many levels. We are here in service for them, which is an opportunity I find very fulfilling.

An Ordinary Dad Having An Extraordinary Amount Of Fun!
Welcome to Blending the Family; I am your podcast host, Tommy Maloney.
What exactly is this podcast Blending the Family about? Great question.
Yes, the title might sometimes fool you, as I do talk about blended families, bonus parenting, and mental health. To name a few topics.
What is bonus parenting, you might ask? In our family, we believe the word step has a negative meaning versus the word bonus. Please email me and let me know if you agree or disagree with me.
Email: tommy@blendingthefamily.com
Guests on the podcast have spoken in the past about topics like marrying a narcissist, using technology for co-parenting, and even what is a good wine for a first date or having a budget meeting with your significant other. The answer is Pinot Noir, but I am more of a Tempranillo type.
You might be asking, who is Tommy Maloney? Well…
I am the Executive producer and host of the podcast Blending The Family, where you can find Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, and YouTube.
I have spoken at TEDx, Ignite Fort Collins, and the Everything Dad Convention. I have even won speaking awards through Toastmasters International.
The author of the book "25 Tips For Divorced Dads." "Why not you, Why Not Me?" and "My Dad's Advice At 5:04 AM,". Plus, he contributed as a writer to other books, “The Expert’s Guide to Teenagers” and Father-Daughter Conversations.” He has written for The Good Men Project, Modern Gladiator, and The Greeley Tribune.
Tommy enjoys a glass of red wine while writing or hiding from the family. A dad to Betsy, Becca, Connor, and dogs Duke (RIP) and Otis. A husband to Ann, where they live (when Tommy is home) in Greeley, Colorado.

EP 243 Justin Kruger Project Helping Founder
This episode is sponsored by my new book "My Dads Advice At 5:04 AM," and you can get it here or here.
Our guest this week is the Founder of Project Helping, Justin Kruger. A bit more about Justin.
BIO:
Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He grew up in a ridiculously small town in Iowa. He studied finance and economics, which he now doesn’t use. He instead played golf professionally before starting a career in the golf industry. Over 15 years, he did all the jobs one could find in this industry, most notably staying with PING golf for almost 10 years. His struggle with mental wellness led him to leave the golf business behind to start Project Helping and provide purpose, connection, and mental wellness through kyndfulness.
