Better Off Dad: Episode One

Choppy playback? Watch it on Vimeo.

In our premier episode, we talk with Gary and A.J. Vaynerchuk about what matters most—Family. They share some stories about what it was like growing up in a hard-working immigrant family, and how their parents have shaped who they are today. Somehow stories about video games, WWF wrestling and Nerf hoops made it in to the show as well. Jeff and Mike share what books they are reading, and we talk about the cool diaper bags, vests and jackets from DadGear.com.

Given the rockstar interviewees we had, this episode went a little long. Future episodes will be around 15 minutes each. Hopefully we will improve our audio as well. It's our first episode. Give us a break.

About Better Off Dad

Being a father is a daunting task. While it is a life-long commitment, it doesn't have to be a life sentence. With the right attitude it can be one of life's most rewarding experiences.

Better Off Dad was created to help inspire, educate and equip guys to become better dads (but we will have stuff for moms, too!). We are building an online community where knowledge and inspiration can be shared through articles, podcasts, interviews, product reviews, discussions, blogs and more.

Let's face it—today's families need better dads. But every dad could use encouragement, ideas and information. What can I do with my daughter this weekend? How can I have more time to spend with my family? Which car seat is the safest? How much should I be saving for my kids' education?

We are collaborating with authors, educators, counselors and other parenting experts in order to bring you the best information on fatherhood. If you would like to be involved with Better Off Dad, please email us at betteroffdad@gmail.com. You can also follow us on Twitter, send this page to a friend and sign up to be notified when we go live using the form above.

Thanks for stopping by. We're Better Off Dad. And so are you.
