The Naddy Daddy. 100% Daddy, 100% Naddy. Nathaniel Gittner is a high caliber, one of a kind dad. Originally from Melbourne, FL, he now resides in Daytona Beach, FL with his high school sweetheart, Kate and their two boys, Oliver Sebastian and Wesley Hans Gittner. He currently serves as a director of operations for a large community hospital system in Volusia County. Nathaniel and his dad, Calvin, experienced a father-son bonding experience like no other when they summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in January of 2023. Mt. Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest point at a "measly" 19,841 feet! Climbing this mountain together was an aspiration Nate and Calvin had for nearly a decade and to see it come to fruition was a dream come true. We can't wait for y'all to hear the story!
Welcome to Big Daddies! In this episode we dive deep into the topic and importance of mentorship, with Joseph Saint Juste. Joseph, also known as Jojo to close friends and family, is a travel emergency room nurse. The life Jojo has lived and experienced from such an early age is more than most, but it has imparted deep wisdom within him. No matter ones circumstance, Jojo teaches us the value in finding mentors in every season of life. We greatly enjoyed this episode so settle in because we know you will too!
Welcome to Big Daddies! This episode is a touch different than our listeners are use to as we bring on our first power couple, Lauren and Collin Latham! They reside in the 321, the greatest county in the US of A. At the time of this recording, Lauren and Collin had not yet welcomed their son, Liam Asher Latham, into the world but they drop loads of knowledge and wisdom on us. Lauren is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and through her work experience with young children, is extremely prepared as a mother to be. Collin gives us profound insight into the importance of being present as a father and the negative aspects of technology at a young age. We're pumped for y'all to give it a listen! Much love!
In our latest episode, we explore the importance of maintaining connections beyond our immediate family. For the first 28 minutes, we discuss how it can be tempting to neglect our friendships and relationships outside of our households once we become married and have kids. We share insights and strategies on nurturing these bonds, highlighting the significance of community in our lives. Moving on, for the next 27 minutes, we delve into the world of fatherhood. We share personal stories, discuss how our kids are doing, and tackle the everyday triumphs and tribulations of being a dad. We also touch upon the intriguing dynamics of comparing different parenting styles and family dynamics when it comes to households with and without children. And how it's easy for us to be judgmental and compare when people aren't in the same season as us. Finally, in the last 10 minutes, we shift gears and indulge in some entertaining banter on movies and Jordan's and our wives horrible taste in tv shows. Love y'all!

The Episode where y'all get to hear from the wives! "Who run the world?! GIRLS!" Sadly, no girls had fun because Spencer is also in the studio (Jack and Bree's son) and he is being a real turd the whole time. If you're not yet a parent, or are a parent to be, you're going to get a LIVE experience of trying to get something done when you have a 2 year old present.
ROUND 2 WITH NEIL, OH YEEAAAH! If you missed part 1 of the interview, go back and listen, it is undefeated. As our boy Jack Harlow said, "Cant wait, love ya, bye".
