To close out Season 1 of She’s Smart, I’m breaking the mold—and the guest list rules—for a very special Father’s Day episode featuring the one and only man to ever appear on this podcast: my dad, Aldo.

At 85, he’s sharp, hilarious, and full of stories—from chasing me around the dining table with a broom to inventing a "froggy pinch" that somehow got passed down to my own kids. In this episode, we talk about growing up in Oakland, working in the family business, falling in love with my mom, raising two daughters, and the joys (and chaos) of being a grandfather.

It’s a conversation full of laughs, love, and a whole lot of heart. Thank you to all the dads and father figures out there—and to my husband Ben—for showing up in all the important ways.

This one's for the dads. 💙
