Customer Reviews
Love this Show!
Anthony is such a great host and interviewer. I love learning from him and his guests from such diverse backgrounds. So refreshing to just hear real people have real conversations about real challenges and everyday choices we have to make as working parents. I love when he asks about best piece of advice they have received. It’s fascinating to hear everyone’s perspectives. Great job Anthony!
Working PARENTS…love this shift from all the mom-focused pods
Refreshing to hear open discussion about parenting from a variety of viewpoints. And big ups to Anthony for doing a podcast about a topic that frankly a lot of men shy away from due to a perisisten societal stigma. It’s working PARENTS…not only working moms. Anthony has a great, relatable, breezy, candid vibe as a host which makes listening a blast. Love the advice section in the episodes too. Whether you’re new to parenting, or just want to feel less alone, this helps.
