This week, we talk with Brock Lusch, a local stay-at-home dad and founder of the Cincinnati Dad’s Group. We have a wide-ranging conversation about SAHD life, why dads don’t babysit (it’s called parenting), lighting a fence on fire to stain it, and more.
This episode was recorded at HighGrain Brewing in Silverton, Ohio. Shout out to our server Gabby!
