🎙️🔴 Why We Hit Record
This first episode is us pulling the curtain back on why Dishing with Dad exists at all. We talk about how our regular check-ins became a space to think out loud together—about work, change, and whatever else life is throwing our way—and why it felt right to start recording those conversations. You’ll hear a little of our family backstory, how we’ve stayed close across different seasons of life, and what it looks like when a dad and daughter meet each other where they are, without an agenda.
What to expect going forward: conversations about AI and film, plenty of Formula 1 talk, updates on Dad’s job search, and whatever else happens to be on our minds that week.
