As a new dad this podcast is really helpful and a pleasure to listen to
Dads Rock!
Mark,
Dads get a bad rap these days. Thanks for highlighting the good dads in the world today and helping us be proud of the second greatest job on earth. (Moms are still the best! I mean, they grow and feed people from their own bodies! :-)
Well done!
I am at a point in my life where I am starting to think about having kids of my own so it great to hear from dads who are working to be the best that they can be. Keep the episodes coming!
