Embarrassing moments, sugary cereal, and dial up: The secret power of Nostalgia as a dad
In this episode, we kick things off with a laugh—sharing our most embarrassing professional moments (yes, they’re cringy and hilarious). From awkward CEO greetings to accidentally locking clients in the gym, we all have those moments we’ll never forget.
But the real heart of the episode? Nostalgia.Did you know it’s a superpower you’re already using—maybe without even realizing it?
We explore how sights, smells, sounds, and even Lucky Charms cereal can instantly transport us back to our childhood. From punk rock mix tapes and summer days at a wood mill, to driving past our old houses and baseball fields—nostalgia is real, powerful, and deeply emotional.
We also talk about how to intentionally create nostalgic memories for your kids—whether it's lighting a special candle during bath time or saying “Happy Friday!” during school pickup. Those small, repeated moments can become lifelong anchors of joy.
Also in this episode:🎮 Oregon Trail flashbacks💾 Floppy disk memories🎉 Why moms are the true memory-makers🧠 How to use nostalgia as a parenting tool to deepen your bond
Whether you're a parent, a nostalgic 90s kid, or just love good stories—this episode will hit home.
