Today I’m releasing the best of Startup Dad from 2024! Across over 50 hours of conversations, hundreds of topics, and approaching 100 Dads (and Moms) I’ve covered a lot. In this episode you’ll hear from dozens of executives and founders like Scott Belsky of Adobe, Immad Akhund from Mercury, Siqi Chen from Runway, Chris Miller from Hubspot, Lane Shackleton from Coda and Adam Nash from Daffy. You’ll also hear best-selling authors and experts like Sean Ellis, Nir Eyal, Linda Flanagan and “Dad Brain” expert Darby Saxby alongside some lesser-known founders and solopreneurs who are making it work or sometimes just barely surviving.

The goal of Startup Dad has always been to learn something new about parenting and to normalize hearing more successful male leaders talk about their families—the struggles and the successes.

In this episode highlights include:

* The role of technology and artificial intelligence in our kids’ lives

* The importance of modeling the right behavior and how to recover when you don’t

* How to partner successfully with your significant other

* How we approach our own aging parents

* Navigating cultural differences inside your own family

* Building companies while raising kids

* How to approach paternity leave as a startup founder

* Defining and creating quality time

* Whether work/life balance is possible, a myth, or should be re-thought entirely
