Being a dad and a husband while growing a career can get pretty dicey. My name is Jonathan Silva and I’ve been jumping through the complexities of balancing fatherhood and my career for around a decade. I enjoy talking and learning from friends and colleagues. The Dad Complex is a series of conversations with other dads I respect and admire. I love my family, and I love my job. Sometimes we just need affirmation and support from other dudes. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I’ve enjoyed creating this series.
This week, I’m excited to have my long-time friend Jonathan Seaborn on The Dad Complex. I’ve known Jonathan for over 10 years now, and we’ve seen each other turn from Jonathan(s) the musician to the part-time dream chasers to finding our dream careers and becoming dads around the same time.
Episode 4 features my pal, mortgage loan officer extraordinaire, and all-around wonderful human, Tom Couture. Tom is my first guest who has entered the coveted “grandpa” stage, although you wouldn’t know it. We had a great conversation filled with high-key aphorisms and lots of love. I hope you enjoy it.
We’re kicking off the new year with Grant Willingham of Ink Giant!
Like Kate and I, Grant and his wife, Ericka, had children at a young age and experienced growing a family while simultaneously finding our career footing. I ad a great time understanding how he tackles different situations as a dad and how he’s handled growing a business at the same time. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
All episodes are recorded, edited, and produced by Jonathan Silva and Andrew Noble at The Tadpole Agency.
