About the Show:

Five Minutes With Dad is the podcast where you get to listen in on a little father-son time with me and my four-year-old son Pavlos.

The podcast is all about powering down and spending some extra quality time with your kids.  We'll share resources and have a lot of fun along the way.

And we keep it nice and short.

For two reasons:

First, have you ever tried to keep a four year old in a chair with big headphones and a monster-sized microphone for more than 9 seconds?  🙂

Second, we keep it short so we all can power down and get back to some awesome face-to-face time with the kids.

Every week we'll share a resource with you, too!

Pavlos and I have a great time just introducing you to our personalities and our chemistry.  And we have a special guest who I know you'll love!

This week's resource of the week:

Ivy Kids – Ivy Kids is a monthly educational subscription box service, started by a friend of mine, for children ages 3-8. Our goal is to make every moment with your child “quality time.” Have the tools at your fingertips to ensure your child has a solid foundation in math, literacy, and science. Help your child build confidence and be well-rounded in all disciplines to ensure future academic success. The activities in the Ivy Kits have been created by certified early childhood teachers with children of their own.

FMWDWe're fully live on iTunes now!

If you go here you can subscribe and download the first three episodes right now!

We'll post new episodes every week.  We've recorded 10 so far and each one gets better and better as the microphone becomes less of a distraction and we get into talking about things like playing, giving, business, flying cars, and what Pavlos would do if he made the rules.

🙂

Check back in for full show notes and individual posts for each episode, too!

And if you want to help us encourage and inspire other parents to spend some more quality times with their kids, please give us a review on itunes right here and share the show!

The Podcast is LIVE!!! And a TeeSpring Campaign to help a friend!

FMWDThe good news is the podcast is live.  The feed is submitted and three episodes are available.

The bad news is the feed is hidden right now.  We have submitted it to iTunes and Stitcher Radio and are waiting for them to work their magic.

Once iTunes and Stitcher to approve it and then you'll get the first three episodes of Five Minutes With Dad right away!

What I love most about these episodes and that they might be the first time Pavlos and our special guest have been behind a microphone ever.

And it's definitely my first time trying to get a 4 and 2 year old to sit still for more than 30 seconds with out a seatbelt of Mac n' Cheese to help…

I've recorded over 10 episodes with him and we'll release the others every week as we record more and more.

We just recorded two awesome episodes last night.

I'm way too excited about this.  The two latest episodes (8 and 9) are probably our best yet!  

Pavlos is getting even more comfortable behind the mic.

I'm getting more comfortable interviewing him in a way that lets him shine.

And we even have a couple guests watch us record some episodes, which Pavlos loves.

In the meantime, Pavlos and I have lent our brand to a friend to help raise money during a tough time.

She's a single mother and got laid off and pushed out of her apartment all within a week.  She's on the upswing, for sure, but could use some extra help transitioning to a new job and apartment.

So Pavlos and I started a TeeSpring campaign selling shirts to support her.

The proceeds will go directly to her and her kids for transition expenses.

You can check it out here!  We need to sell 20 shirts by the deadline to make it happen!

We got 2 weeks to go!
