Attempting Fatherhood

Former pro-surfer turned CEO Chase Wilson is a squeaky-clean new dad with a 5-week old baby girl at home. He's right in the thick of it and many of us Fathers will remember those early days of no sleep, confusion, frustration, excitement and joy...all usually between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.

He's the founder of Byrd Hair...yes, the same one that is a sponsor on the show and for our 8th and final Father interview for Season 2, he was the perfect fit.

Thanks for following along and remember to SHARE THE SHOW, that's how we keep growing this podcast to reach Fathers all around the world to encourage and love them just like you and I need it!

This week Attempting Fatherhood is Rob Yates, co-founder of We Get Outdoors which helps people start outdoor businesses. Their newest adventure the “Dad and Kid Yard Adventure Pack” is essentially a series of videos and instructions on how to tackle some cool outdoor projects and adventures with your kids in a scalable way so you don’t end up like that dad who watches a video on YouTube about Everest and then takes their 7 year old on a climb.

We talk about the business, why he trusts his 5-year old daughter to light a fire and chop wood and what from his dad he's leaving out of his parenting.
