Work From Home Dadding | Pete Morse on Entrepreneurship, Fatherhood, WFH

Author: Adam Flaherty, Marc Checket September 24, 2021 Duration: 34:45
For the last year and a half, many parents have been forced to adjust their work schedules to accommodate online learning, changes to child care, and more. For some of us, working from home has become second nature. For others of us, it's a chosen lifestyle. Today's guest is Pete Morse, a name you hear in the credits of each episode. Pete is a sound engineer, mixer, musician, and composer who constructed his state-of-the-art studio "Red Vault Audio" off the side of his house, awarding him the flexibility to work non-traditional hours and be more present with his wife and two young daughters. Listen to the end for a Paw Patrol-themed "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?"

Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket, two dads from suburban New England, are well aware the world doesn't need another podcast where guys just ramble. That self-awareness is precisely what fuels Modern Dadhood. Instead of claiming to have all the answers, they get real about the messy, rewarding, and constantly shifting landscape of fatherhood today. Each episode is built on candid, authentic, and often hilarious conversations that unpack what it means to be a parent now. They sit down with a wonderfully diverse range of voices-from famous fathers to those you'd never hear from otherwise, including stepdads, granddads, and dads-to-be. Listening in feels like pulling up a chair for an honest talk among friends, one where the challenges are met with empathy and the triumphs are genuinely celebrated. This isn't just a show for dads; it's for anyone interested in the modern dynamics of family. You'll hear stories that resonate, practical insights nestled within the laughter, and a refreshingly broad perspective on culture, education, and self-improvement through the lens of parenting. Modern Dadhood moves beyond the superficial to explore the genuine connections and personal growth at the heart of raising kids.
