Millennial Dads

Ever-shifting gender and family roles have brought upon the rise of the “Stay at Home Dad,” or a father who is raising their child as the primary caregiver during the working day. While generations before us have become accustomed to the mother often finding herself on baby duty, more and more, dads are taking on the responsibility themselves.

While neither Brian or Andy are stay at home dads themselves, it’s a trend they haven’t le...

Check any kid’s itineraries in 2025 and you’ll see there’s no end to: summer camps, sports, traveling athletic leagues, practices, showcases, and literally a million other things that need to be planned and paid for.

On today’s episode of Millennial Dads, Brian and Andy shares stories from their past travels, including Andy and Oliver’s trip to Chicago (Ollie’s first plane ride!), and Brian talks about his upcoming trip to Disney.

While discussing what they want to provide for their kids on these jou...

However, once you have a child, all that changes. Strollers, car seats, changing tables in the men’s room - all of a sudden all the things you never thought twice about are front and center in ...

No matter how you become a parent, it’s one of the most pivotal times in anyone’s life. Gone are the carefree days of being able to make yourself the undisputed top priority, now you must put someone else’s life above your own. Brian and Andy talk about how they became first time parents, and how their worlds changed when it happened.

One of the reasons we called this podcast “Millennial Dads” is because we believe our generation has a different approach to being parents than previous generations. But why do we believe that and what experiences did we have growing up that informs this new perspective? Brian and Andy discuss how they approach being dads, what their goals are for their children, and what we’ve learned from our parents.
