In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the business of The New School Dad — what it is today, what it could become, and how I’m thinking about building it the right way.
I talk through a simple but real goal for 2026: generating $5,000 from The New School Dad — not for the money, but for validation, clarity, and direction. From there, I unpack a mindset shift that’s changing everything for me: focusing on true fans over total listeners and building from the inside out instead of chasing scale too early.
We also get into:
Why over-complicating growth kills momentum
The trap of chasing strangers instead of serving your core
Skill-building vs. perfection (short-form clips, consistency, reps)
A real-time parenting win that proves progress actually compounds
This is an honest look at patience, preparation, and why progress over perfection applies to business, fatherhood, and life.
If you’re building something on the side, trying to improve as a dad, or learning to trust the long game — this one’s for you.
