Diaper Dude Chris Pegula is this week’s featured guest. Chris created the company Diaper Dude after noticing most diaper bags and accessories were designed for moms.  So instead of carrying his baby-stuff around in a gym bag or backpack, Chris created The Diaper Dude for dads.

In our conversation, we talk about how he created a company that makes diaper bags that even celebrity dads like Brad Pitt, Ben Stiller, David Arquette and Matthew Broderick are using. We also talk about Chris’ new book, Diaper Dude: The Ultimate Dad’s Guide to Surviving the First Two Years. He even shares a great parenting hack that involves turning clothes around backward.

7th Heaven star Barry Watson is this week’s featured guest. Barry has a brand new show premiering June 2 on UP TV called Date My Dad, a dramedy about a great dad who is a few years removed from having his wife pass away and is re-entering the dating scene at the encouragement of his daughters.

In our conversation, which took place at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Orlando just a couple of weeks ago, we talk about Date My Dad as well as 7th Heaven. We also talk about how to play an authentic and funny dad on TV without making him goofy – like so often happens to dads on TV. And we also talk about how he researched his new role and how his father-in-law Robert Wagner helped him prepare.
