TDIT Episode 4: New Years Resolutions, Bench Accounting, Hubspot vs. Salesforce

What happens when two dads in tech dive into everything from gym resolutions to the future of AI and the fate of college athletes? You get an hour of laughs, hot takes, and some oddly insightful conversations.

Troy Munson and Daniel Berk kick off the episode by debating New Year’s resolutions, why running is both a blessing and a curse, and whether eating healthy means you’re slowly turning into your mother-in-law. There’s a solid tangent about seed oils and processed foods that’ll make you rethink your grocery list—or double down on eating whatever’s in the fridge.

The real fun begins with a “Put a Finger Down” sales edition game. Ever Googled what a prospect’s company does mid-call? Or taken a demo just for the gift card? Yep, these dads have been there, and they’re not afraid to own it. It’s relatable, it’s hilarious, and it’s a glimpse into the unpolished side of sales life.

Next up, the dads nerd out over their favorite tech tools, with Daniel giving Gong a standing ovation (if Gong were a person, he’d send them a thank-you note). They also tackle the eternal CRM debate: HubSpot vs. Salesforce. Spoiler: Troy’s not convinced by HubSpot, but Daniel’s a believer.

The episode turns serious-ish as they discuss Bench Accounting’s shocking shutdown, AI potentially replacing sales managers, and why saving for their kids’ college feels like planning a moon landing. There’s even a quick chat about why college might not even be necessary by the time their kids are 18—unless, of course, they plan on becoming rocket scientists or doctors.

And because no Two Dads in Tech episode is complete without some banter, they riff on legendary (and completely made-up) feats of Brian LaManna, LimeWire nostalgia, and whether college athletes should get paid (hint: they’re not 100% sure, but they have opinions).

So, if you’re into dad jokes, tech talk, and a dash of chaos, hit play and join the fun. And don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review—because, as Daniel puts it, “If we don’t hit 400 YouTube subscribers, we’ll both be in a glass case of emotion.”
