On this bonus epsiode of Modern Mixtape, we are joined by our oldest daughter Payton as she begins her adventures of living on her own at her summer internship and discovering the art of buying fruit on sale and the no go zone of the supermarket on Sundays.

PGA: Patience, Gratitude, Assumptions
As a parent taking time for yourself is hard, but so important. Finding four to five hours for a round of golf can be next to impossible, but so many lessons can be taken from the golf course into life and parenting. As life long golfers- we take a little detour, to visit lessons learned from the golf course. Maybe because we are both longing to get on the course.

Straight Gas!
Made it through the first few episodes. Love the length. Love the OBVIOUS love you have for each other and RESPECT you show each other. Such a great idea. I think this will be helpful and entertaining to parents at all stages of parenting and if nothing else, it’s a great platform for y’all to candidly discuss your ideas and philosophies around parenting and raising a family. Hope it’s as rewarding for you as it seems to the listener. Love it. Kevin
