    Why Tummy Time is so Important! w/ Jaidyn Johnson

    Jaidyn Johnson is an Occupational Therapist, specializing in helping young children reach milestones. So much of a child's development starts with "tummy time" where a child learns how to move their head, then push up with their hands and arms, which leads to rolling over and eventually sitting up and crawling. Without the fundamental development skills, children can fall behind on "milestones" that could hinder learning and social skills in the future. Beav and Jaidyn also discuss the importance of a father to children, based on multiple studies as well as Jaidyn's personal experience as she grew up not knowing her own dad. All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

    Staying Motivated with John Malecki

    Our friend John Malecki was in town on vacation this week so we had to get him back in the studio for another podcast. If you missed the first episode with John, we get into his NFL career and how he transitioned to woodworking. You can see that here.   Today Beav digs more into John's Woodshop, and his youtube channel, trying to understand how they make huge amounts of content (on a weekly basis), and still have time to be a father to his now 17-month-old baby girl. They guys also get into the future of their businesses. What that means for them and how they set goals as they go. What's the end goal? Should you make one? Hear how John compares running a business to being in the NFL.   All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear Podcast.

Everyone's lifestyle and situation is different, and strollers are expensive, so picking the right one is important.    The same thing goes for car seats. Beav and JD get into the history of car seats and debunk a few myths and marketing tactics that will give you a much clearer picture of what to look for when picking a car seat for the first time.      All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

    The future of the Metaverse and our kids

    This week on the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast, Beav and Alex sit down for what feels like the first time in a year. Beav has some serious issues he needs to get off his chest. We're sure all parents can agree with what he has to say. We learn more about Alex’s family history and it all starts to make sense if you know Alex. Being a super nerd is literally in his blood. It’s actually really interesting and we will get more info on this, especially since there is a new book that has been written about it. Then the guys get into the all-so-popular topic of the Metaverse and NFTs and what that even means. But the real questions arise when they start to think about what this means for their kids, and what the future looks like for them in this soon-to-be digital world.

    Talking Sneaker Culture with Penny Kix

    This week we are talking sneaker culture with Cory Pennington from Penny Kix, a local sneaker shop. Cory is a retired Marine, police officer, and teacher. Since his childhood, he has had an attraction to sneakers. K mart jeans and shirts, no problem, but he had to have some good shoes. As a Marine, Cory was a TOW Gunner, (anti-tank missile man) but since they weren’t many tanks to shoot at in the middle east, he spent the rest of his career as a machine gunner. After 8 years, Cory left and became a police officer to fill the gap as he transitioned back into civilian life. As a fill-in for the school resource officer, the principal approached him with the opportunity to become a teacher in the criminal justice program. It didn’t take long for Cory to make that switch since he knew being a cop was only temporary. During his time as a teacher, Cory was buying and selling sneakers on the side for some extra cash. As his house became filled with hundreds of pairs of shoes, he made the jump and opened a retail location, giving birth to ‘Penny Kix’. Now with a second location and retiring from teaching, Cory is all in on his own business. Take a dive into the often misunderstood world of sneakers and sneaker culture on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

    Larry Kosilla from AMMO NYC

    use code TBG10 for 10% off your first purchase at https://ammonyc.com (good thru 2021) This week on the podcast is our good friend, Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC. You may be asking yourself, what is AMMO NYC? If you ever searched YouTube to see how to clean or detail your car, chances are you came across one of Larry’s videos. He was the first to show how-tos and share high-end car detailing knowledge on the, (at the time), a new platform that is YouTube. With over 20 years of experience, Larry is internationally known as THE detailing master. His work ranges from the rarest of the rare supercar collections to forgotten treasures left behind in another century in his “barn find” series. His videos cover every level of cleaning cars, so there is something to be learned for anyone. From how to properly wash your car, to paint correction and clear bra on a 1 of 1 Ferrari hypercar. AMMO NYC is much more than a YouTube channel. Larry got his start in car cleaning by owning a car wash, where he made contacts with the manufactures of the products he used every day in order to improve them. Fast forward a few years, and Larry was in the factory at midnight mixing his own formulas and bottling them under his own name. AMMO NYC gained a lot of traction and as they say, the rest is history. All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.
