Hosted by Curtis & RJ, two hardworking parents navigating the same struggles, each episode brings you:

Picture this: It's 2 AM. You're wide awake, staring at the ceiling, doing mental math about bills while your partner sleeps beside you. Your teenager just asked for money for a school trip you can't afford, but you haven't told them why. Your bank account is a secret. Your stress is a secret. Your entire financial life... is a secret.
Now imagine if it wasn't.
What if I told you that one simple conversation, repeated monthly, could end that 2 AM anxiety forever?

Why Parents Need Side Hustles That Actually Fit
Let's be real: traditional side hustles often feel like a second full-time job. They require evening hours you don't have, weekend availability, or constant engagement. That's not sustainable when you're already running on fumes.
The side hustles that work for parents are the ones that either:
Run passively once set up
Require only small pockets of time
Generate income while you sleep or work your day job
Scale without proportional time investment
This is where automation comes in.

Let’s be real—living paycheck to paycheck is exhausting. It feels like running on a treadmill you can’t step off of. Every time payday comes around, you think you’ll finally catch a break, but by the time the bills, groceries, and gas are covered, your account balance looks like it went on vacation without you.
For parents, this reality is even tougher. Between kids’ activities, surprise expenses (like school trips, birthday parties, or “emergency” last-minute runs for poster board at 9 PM), and rising living costs, it can feel impossible to get ahead.
The good news? There is a way forward. In this newsletter-style guide, we’re going to walk through 5 practical steps to break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, using real-life stories of parents who’ve done it. Along the way, I’ll sprinkle in some humor, because if we can’t laugh at our financial chaos, what else can we do?
Welcome to The Hardworking Dad Club, where we’re diving deep into the struggles and triumphs of balancing work, family, and the pursuit of a better future. In this episode, we talk about the daily hustle, the sacrifices we make, and how to find time for what truly matters—being present for your family while chasing your dreams.

We’ve all had that day—the kind where your coffee went cold three times, your coworker’s mic wouldn’t mute during a two-hour meeting, and your boss dropped a surprise deadline like it was a plot twist in a soap opera. And then, you get home and suddenly snap at your kid for asking for juice.
Why? Because stress doesn’t just stay at the office. It hitches a ride, clinging like glitter to your soul.
