Best podcast for dads who need to know parenting is different for everyone.

So I’ve listened to the podcast since DJ EFNs daughter was around 2. I went back and listened to all previous episodes to current and still listen every week. It’s a great podcast on fatherhood as well as letting dads know that there is no right way. It’s all a learning process. I’ve got a chance to talk with Manny when I bought a Firstborn bag. It’s crazy because I parent like all 3 of them. Big thank you to the 3 of you guys it’s helped me with parenting as I have 3 kids a 13 year old boy 4 year old girl and 1 year old girl. Thank you guys I hope you guys continue the pod cast tell we can call it Grandfatherhoods.
