  • Gen X Parenting: The More You Wing It, the More It Works
    Jul 24 2025

    Jay shares how he went from never wanting kids to fully embracing fatherhood in his late 30s. Jeff admits he drank chocolate milk every day until 27. They debate VCR inventions that should’ve existed, the idea of regret in parenting, and whether humans are just the “baby bacteria” of the universe.

    And yes, Jay once peed his pants in first grade—on purpose.

    It’s funny. It’s vulnerable. It’s very much “Who Cares?”

    From catching his newborn daughter to sharing an unforgettable story about how a high-end restaurant owner flew a Birkin bag to Paris for restoration, Jay takes us through a whirlwind of emotions, insights, and reflections.

    📍 Key Moments:

    - Jay’s emotional journey into fatherhood

    - What “hospitality in hospitality” really means

  • Why ‘Girl Math’ Makes You Feel Richer
    Jul 1 2025

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    Why there is no one-size-fits-all roadmap. Mentors help, but at the end of the day you’re blazing your own trail.

    Muscle-memory app habits (yes, even on the john): why Instagram, YouTube or Slack become our go-to escape.

    Girl Math decoded: How returned purchases become “free play money” and why we mentally trim cents off every price.

    User-testing parties: Host a no-instructions event to see how real people actually use your app or service—spoiler: they don’t follow your playbook.

    The art of saying “no”: Why turning down easy cash—like branded swag orders—can set you up for long-term success.

    Live call from Nancy (Minnesota): We get vulnerable on the air and reveal the single most important lesson nobody ever taught us.

    Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned founder, you’ll walk away with concrete takeaways you can apply today—plus a few laughs (and “dumbest guy in the room” stories) along the way.
