His 2-Year-Old Asked Him to Put His Phone Away
Matt Campbell had it all figured out. High school sweetheart. Division one baseball player. Business Development Director at a growing company. Father of two. And then his two-and-a-half-year-old son looked up at him and said: "Dad, can you put your phone away?" That stung. In this episode Matt — BDD at Advertise Purple and co-creator of the Dadgood community — gets honest about what it took to finally put the phone down, why he left his California life behind to raise his family in the Midwest, and what a restructuring at work almost cost him at home. No highlight reels. Just a working dad telling the truth.

He Sold a 100-Person Business, Then Had an Ego Moment That Changed Everything.
Mike Mosel was the boss. Always. Then he sold his construction business — the one with a hundred employees, payroll runs of four hundred thousand dollars twice a month, and guys literally climbing cell towers — to a publicly traded company. And at lunch in Dallas, Texas, the waitress handed the bill to his new boss instead of him. And she said: you must be the big guy in charge. That was the moment Mike knew he couldn't do it. In this episode Mike — founder of Polarity, entrepreneur of twenty-plus years, and girl dad to two daughters — gets honest about eight years of coast-to-coast travel that quietly cost him his marriage, the ego blow of going from CEO to employee, and the two pieces of advice every new dad needs to hear before it's too late.

In this episode Joel — VDR at Barracuda, husband, and dad of two girls — gets real about the star system keeping his household sane, why community is the most underrated tool in a working dad's toolkit, and what it actually feels like to walk through the door and go from salesperson to dad in sixty seconds flat.
