This episode is incredibly special for Ryan, as he gets to interview his eldest brother, Shawn.

Shawn is 46, has a 19 year old, an 8 year old, and a 2 year old. Though it's not a unique situation, having children after 40 can have it's trials. So, Dan and Ryan pick Shawn's brain about what it's like to have three children with such large age gaps, and raising a newborn after 40.

Thank you all for tuning in! Hit that follow button, and enjoy this wild ride as Ryan and Dan learn all about the journey of fatherhood.

In this, the first interview of the FTF Podcast, Dan and Ryan interview Kevin Smith. Kevin and his wife are about to be new parents, which is always a special time for anyone. But, what makes this experience special is that they used In Vitro Fertilization. A grueling process of anticipation, incredible science, and lots and lots of shots.... And a small room that Kevin doesn't like to talk about.....

If you're looking into in vitro, or are considering alternative methods due your family's genetic history, then look no further. This is the episode you must listen to. Kevin is living it.

Thank you all for tuning in! Enjoy!

In this week's episode, Dan and Ryan finish the list of things you may or may not need when preparing for a newborn! There's so many things that we didn't discuss in these two episodes, but we tried to touch on all of the necessities, and some of the would-be-nices. We hope to be able to give you a good idea of what to expect when preparing for a newborn, though no one can totally prepare for it.

If there's anything we didn't discuss in this, that helped you out a lot, please feel free to share it in the comments, so you can help other dads/parents out there!

Thank you so much for tuning in!

UPDATE: Had to replace the audio because the original audio was cutting off the song at the end right as it got going. Nothing about the dialogue has changed.

This week, Ryan and Dan discuss some of the things you'll need, and others that are just helpful, for when the baby is born. Although the list seems daunting, it's better to be as prepared as possible. Baby's are a lot of work, and because of that, take a lot of tools. But don't get overwhelmed. Just start to prepare early, and you'll minimize those, "oh crap" moments. It's impossible to eliminate them completely, but we'll try to help you avoid as many as we possibly can!
