First Time Dad: Andrew Au

When I started this podcast, I knew I wanted to have a guest like Andrew Au on the show. Andrew is expecting his first child any day now. Andrew brings that excitement of being a first time parent that I know some of us with older kids would benefit from hearing. It is a reminder of the thrill, nerves, naivety, and joy of having your first child.

You'll enjoy hearing what Andrew has researched about the birthing process and you will learn about the vlog (video log) he has set up that you can find at Andrew-AU.com. He has a series blog posts for first time dads. If you've ever considered starting a vlog about your field of expertise or everyday life, Andrew offers up some invaluable tips to getting started. If you are a parent already or know a parent, consider sharing this episode with them.
