Great helpful advice

Mario and James have the best topics and bring a fresh approach for parents in business. Tactical and practical advice combined with some humor make this a fantastic show!

Charleeto.w ,

Useful, thoughtful, intelligent- overall excellent podcast

This show is definitely onto something. Mario and James pack each episode with truly useful and meaningful content that speaks to a demographic of people (ie parents running businesses) that are not often talked about, especially not in such a honest, helpful, and sincere way. As a parent running a business, it often feels like you should be one or the other - a parent or an entrepreneur. This podcast interrupts that narrative in a much needed way. 5 enthusiastic stars. Keep up the great work

Helpful & specific advice

I have enjoyed every episode that I’ve listened to. I particularly loved the community building episode that just dropped yesterday there was a lot of valuable information about how to put the learning into practice in your business. Many thanks to Mario and James for such a great show.
