  • Season 2 Finale: Looking Back on Our First Year of Daddyhood

    Season 2 Finale: Looking Back on Our First Year of Daddyhood
    Dec 10 2025
    On this week’s Daddyhood (sponsored by Nanit), Colton and Jordan close out Season 2 with a look back at their first year of parenting Bishop—what they’d do again, what they’d do differently, and the moments that shaped them most. From those early swaddle days to a standing, snacking, almost-acrobat toddler, they revisit the milestones that defined year one: first steps, first trips, first fevers, and the everyday routines that quietly become core memories. They also open up about the tougher chapters—solo travel with a sick baby, grief and goodbyes, and the constant balancing act of being partners, working dads, and humans with social lives. And they share what they’ve learned along the way: trusting Bishop’s rhythms, gaining confidence, and putting the phones down more often. Plus, how tech supported them this year—from capturing Bishop’s first steps on Nanit to sleep insights that kept them sane.

  • What Men Need to Know About Fertility (with Posterity Health & Carrot Fertility)

    What Men Need to Know About Fertility (with Posterity Health & Carrot Fertility)
    Nov 19 2025
    On this week’s Daddyhood, Colton and Jordan are live from the HLTH conference in Las Vegas (quick note: this episode was recorded live at the conference in a loud convention hall—so you may hear some background noise throughout!!) with two leaders in fertility care: Dr. Asima Ahmad, co-founder & CMO of Carrot Fertility, and Dr. Josh Halpern, Chief Scientific Officer at Posterity Health. Colton shares his own “no sperm” diagnosis and the shame and confusion that came with it, while the doctors break down the basics every guy should know: why male-factor infertility is more common than people think, how lifestyle choices impact sperm health, and why TRT can completely shut sperm production down. They also cover when men should actually get tested, how to safely come off testosterone, and why sperm health is a window into overall men’s health. Plus, an inside look at the changing landscape of fertility benefits, access, and support for all families—including LGBTQ+ parents. A clear, honest guide for anyone beginning (or preparing for) their fertility journey.

  • Family Skincare Made Simple (with Toddle)

    Family Skincare Made Simple (with Toddle)
    Nov 12 2025
    On this week’s Daddyhood, Colton and Jordan sit down with Deri Green and Cameron Thomas from Toddle Skincare to talk about something every parent thinks about—but few really understand: how to keep your family’s skin healthy and protected. What started with Deri trying to get his daughter to wear sunscreen has grown into a family brand built on science, safety, and making healthy habits simple. Along the way, Cam’s own family experience with his wife’s melanoma gave their mission an even deeper meaning, shaping how both dads think about sun exposure and everyday skincare. Together, they break down what parents should actually know about sunscreen, why “clean” ingredients matter, and how microbiome-focused, pre- and probiotic skincare can support the whole family—not just the kids. They also swap parenting hacks, talk about balancing business and fatherhood, compare UK and U.S. family culture, and share their parenting wins of the week.
