Dadville

In this episode, Dave and Jon dive deep into the hilarious (and sometimes infuriating) world of dad pet peeves. From Dave's intense dislike for sidewalk chalk on his property–a hill he declares he'll die on–to the endless battle against tiny wrappers on the floor and wet towels left anywhere but the rack, they air their most relatable frustrations. Jon shares his number one peeve, and they both lament the cans that don't quite make it into the trash. Amidst the abundance of humor, they grapple with the tension between wanting a tidy house and the perspective that "you won't care when they're 80."

In this episode, we're tackling the boss-level challenge of parenting teens headed for college with Dave Kozak of Elite College Planning. The fellas get real about the stress of saving for college (spoiler: most families feel behind), the ever-growing cost of tuition, and whether the whole college experience is actually worth the hype—or just a very expensive four-year experiment. Enter Dave Kozak, our financial Yoda for the episode. He breaks down college savings like it's Money 101 for Hogwarts parents—especially 529 plans, which are basically your magical vault at Gringotts. He also explains the difference between “green money” (the scholarships and grants—aka free money, the good stuff) and “red money” (loans, aka the dark side). Plus, he's all about helping parents level up their strategy when it comes to understanding financial aid, college pricing games, and how to help your kid channel their inner Elle Woods and advocate for themselves. So if college planning feels like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, this episode's here to help you figure it out—and have a little fun along the way.

Listen in for a comedic dive into the chaotic circus of technology and family life takes center stage as our guest discusses how to balance it all. Joey Odom founded a company called Aro, which helps parents to be more intentional away from your phone. They tackle the universal truth that constant connectivity often means we're "disconnected" from what really matters—like catching your kid's epic soccer goal because you were too busy arguing with autocorrect. Joey recounts his own cringe-worthy moment: missing his son's first goal while chasing a “must-read” meme on his phone.

This week we have a Super Bowl MVP joining Dadville. Nick Foles recently retired from the NFL after an 11-year career that had him breaking more records than a caffeinated bull in a vintage vinyl shop. He joins the fellas to discuss the finer points of coaching his daughter's flag football team, transitioning to life as an ex-player, and his new DAD SZN brand.  Join us: http://dadville.substack.com AG1 - Try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first subscription at http://drinkAG1.com/dadville Methodical Coffee - Receive 20% off your first bag and 10% off all subsequent bags.
