9. Father of Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy, Bassist & Lyricist): Pete Wentz

Our guest for this episode is Pete Wentz, father of his namesake son: Pete Wentz, bassist & lyricist for the Grammy-nominated multiplatinum rock band Fall Out Boy.

Their long list of hit songs include: Sugar, We're Goin Down, Dance, Dance, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, Centuries, Uma Thurman, and a song that has a fatherhood theme to it, called She’s my Winona.

They’ve won a list of awards too long to name, but among them are:

• People’s Choice Award for Best Alternative Rock Band
• American Music Award for Favorite Alternative Rock Band
• Tons of MTV Awards, including wins for Best Group & Best Rock Video

Pete, and his siblings Hilary & Andrew, are fortunate to have Mr. Pete Wentz as their Father. Pete, the father, is a terrific guy. He’s a family man and a working man. Currently, he works at APCO Worldwide, a leading independent public relations firm that has a focus on public affairs and crisis communications.

In this episode, we talk about a variety of topics, including managing tv screen time, providing kids with the latitude to be individuals & express their personalities, and we talked a bit about some of the distinguished friends and relatives of the Wentz family.
