Episode 29: Troy Munson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/troymunson/) and Daniel Berk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielberk/) fire up the mics from across the globe — literally. With Daniel calling in from a Spanish bedroom, the dads get real about raising kids while building companies, how their own childhoods shape their parenting, and what legacy really means in a hyper-growth world. Plus, a spicy take on AI sales tools, the end of the smartphone era, and why your next vacation might include teleportation.
