Millennial Dads

We’ll be honest with you, listeners. When we sat down to record this episode, we had a completely different topic in mind, but with the heavily publicized murder of an innocent woman on Charlotte’s (our hometown) light rail, and the political violence that has spread like wildfire, neither of us felt like we could ignore what’s going on. In today’s episode of Millennial Dads, we decided to address...

Ever-shifting gender and family roles have brought upon the rise of the “Stay at Home Dad,” or a father who is raising their child as the primary caregiver during the working day.

Check any kid’s itineraries in 2025 and you’ll see there’s no end to: summer camps, sports, traveling athletic leagues, practices, showcases, and literally a million other things that need to be planned and paid for. But some parents of a certain generation are yearning to give their kids the one thing they could count on during the summers of their own youth: boredom. Having grown up in an era be...

While discussing what they want to...

If you’re single and able-bodied, there’s rarely any obstruction to being able to get around in any city, suburb or even rural area. Most likely, you can get anywhere you need to go whenever you want without the use of specialized equipment.  However, once you have a child, all that changes. Strollers, car seats, changing tables in the men’s room - all of a sudden all the things you never thought...

No matter how you become a parent, it’s one of the most pivotal times in anyone’s life. Gone are the carefree days of being able to make yourself the undisputed top priority, now you must put someone else’s life above your own. Brian and Andy talk about how they became first time parents, and how their worlds changed when it happened. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Early Conversations 02:13 Trans...

One of the reasons we called this podcast “Millennial Dads” is because we believe our generation has a different approach to being parents than previous generations. But why do we believe that and what experiences did we have growing up that informs this new perspective? Brian and Andy discuss how they approach being dads, what their goals are for their children, and what we’ve learned from our pa...
