How to Get Away from the Job You Hate - Episode 11

In this jam-packed episode of Two Dads in Tech, Troy Munson and Daniel Berk take a deep dive into the wild world of startups, family life, and, of course, dad fashion. What’s Inside This Episode? Startup Life vs. Family Life: Can you really balance building a high-growth startup and being present for your family? Troy gets real about the impossible juggling act, Paul Graham’s infamous startup advice, and why sometimes, revenue takes a back seat to lunch dates with your wife. Do You Actually Like Your Job? Daniel breaks down what to do if you hate your job but feel stuck. The guys explore how passion, risk, and that one guy who went from Groupon to supersonic jets (yes, really) can teach you how to pivot your career—without torching your bank account. The One Lesson You Shouldn’t Learn the Hard Way: Things get deep when Troy and Daniel open up about personal loss, tough conversations with family, and why you should probably tell people you love them way more than you do now. Spoiler: There are no do-overs. Why Life is Basically Just Chaos: Ever feel like life is a mess? That’s because it is. But the guys debate whether it’s all about how you respond to the madness or if we’re all just winging it. (Hint: We’re all winging it.) Gold Chains & Chest Hair Confessions: Because no Two Dads in Tech episode is complete without some ridiculousness, Daniel unveils his new TJ Maxx-inspired fashion phase, and Troy reminisces about his regrettable days of chest-hair manscaping. Why Listen? This episode is equal parts hilarious, insightful, and unexpectedly real. Whether you're grinding in tech, figuring out work-life balance, or just need a good laugh, you’re in the right place. 📩 Want to work smarter, not harder?
