It’s a serious one, but don’t worry — we still bring the dad jokes. This week, we talk about two heartbreaking stories of teens who were influenced by bad friends and AI tools. As two dads, it really hit home. We talk parenting, tech, and how we even begin to prepare our kids for this wild world.

Why Dads Stay Silent About Postpartum Depression - Ep 16 47:08

hace 5 weeks47:08

47:08

This week on Two Dads in Tech , we unpack the viral spy scandal between two HR tech giants — Deel and Rippling. A mole, a honeypot trap, and a bathroom escape? It’s like a Netflix drama, but real. Then we shift into dad mode. We get honest about postpartum depression for dads, the identity crisis that hits after having kids, and why therapy isn’t just for couples in crisis. We also sneak in some weird facts (like octopuses having 3 hearts), debate if we’d go to jail for $70 billion, and share what SaaS company we think won’t survive the next 5 years. 💡 Topics Covered: Deel vs. Rippling spy story & lawsuit Corporate espionage in tech startups Postpartum depression for new dads Therapy, marriage, and mental health for men Parenting struggles & identity shift Fun tech facts + dad jokes Big tech predictions: who survives?

How Vibe Coding Will Replace Entire Engineering Teams - Ep 15 47:31

hace 6 weeks47:31

47:31

In this episode of Two Dads in Tech , we dive into some of the biggest conversations happening in B2B SaaS, sales tech, and AI. LinkedIn just removed Seamless AI and Apollo.io from its platform—what does this mean for data providers, and is your company at risk? We break down the controversy and what it signals for the future of LinkedIn’s policies. We also explore Vibe Coding , the fast-growing trend that’s allowing non-technical founders and small teams to build complex applications using AI. Will traditional software engineers still be necessary, or is this the beginning of a major shift in how software is developed? In our blind ranking challenge , we compare top sales tools, including Salesforce, Apollo, Gong, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Which ones actually help sales teams, and which are just overhyped? Finally, we get real about the struggles of chronic pain while working in tech. From back surgeries to AI-driven health insights, we discuss how technology is changing the way people manage their well-being and careers. Topics Covered in This Episode: Why LinkedIn banned Seamless AI and Apollo.io and what it means for B2B sales The rise of Vibe Coding and how AI is changing software development Are small AI-driven teams the future of SaaS startups? Blind ranking top sales tech tools—who comes out on top? AI debugging itself and what that means for developers Chronic pain, health tracking, and navigating tech careers while dealing with physical challenges If you are in B2B tech, sales, SaaS, or AI , this episode is packed with insights, humor, and real talk about the industry.

Does eating Chick-fil-A make you a bad person? - Ep 13 54:42

hace 8 weeks54:42

54:42

In this episode, we break down the biggest debates in dad life and tech, including: But first, check out our sponsor, Fathom, the best call recorder ever: https://2ly.link/24uFH 🐶 Are dogs secretly more expensive than kids? Daniel’s dog had a vet bill that cost more than his last vacation. Troy’s dog almost lost a leg thanks to a spider. Do we still love our dogs the same way after having kids? (Spoiler: Nope.) 💰 Should you pay off debt ASAP or enjoy life while you're young? Do you grind to pay off student loans early, or live it up in your 20s and pay the minimums? The shocking truth about how much the average 30-year-old actually has in savings. How our mindset on money has evolved in tech sales. 🚗 Driving a Tesla – Smart purchase or Elon endorsement? Troy owns a Tesla – does that mean he automatically supports Elon? Can you separate a company from its founder’s actions? The Chick-fil-A and Nike comparison: Does buying mean endorsing? 🚰 Stanley vs. Owala – The Water Bottle Wars Daniel just discovered Owala. Apparently, it’s a thing? Troy refuses to abandon his Stanley cup, but has concerns. The real question: Why are we all paying $50+ for water bottles? 🤧 Sick kids in public – What’s the right move? Are we those parents who take their kids out with a lingering cough? Do we secretly judge other parents when they do the same? Snotty kids at daycare… enough said. 🔥 BONUS: We also talk about how we take sales notes, why every rep should be using Fathom, and our thoughts on employer stock purchase plans. 🚀 Want to sponsor us?

Business Ideas You Can Steal Today (and Controversial Things..)- Ep 12 40:48

hace 9 weeks40:48

40:48

In this episode, Troy and Daniel dive into the chaos of parenting, business ideas, and deep (but hilarious) life debates. Ever wondered if you’ll poop yourself during a marathon? We tackle the hard-hitting questions first. Then, we shift gears into raising kids in 2025—what do you actually teach them at home? Math and coding? Nope. How to be decent humans? Absolutely. The dads also debate homeschooling vs. public school , especially in the face of rising school shootings. ( Yikes. ) Next up, it’s rapid-fire business ideas you can steal right now 💡, from an Airbnb for home-cooked meals to a gym membership that gets cheaper the more you go . Plus, Troy shares a business idea he’s been sitting on for years (and still kinda wants to launch). And because no episode is complete without controversy, we tackle the LinkedIn "Open to Work" banner debate —does it actually make you look desperate? Or is it just misunderstood? 🤔 To wrap things up, the dads debate how much money you really need to start a $1M business in 90 days and why live-streaming the entire thing might be the biggest money-maker of all. This episode is equal parts business, parenting, and absolute nonsense —and that’s exactly why you’ll love it. 👉 Subscribe on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify 👉 Leave a 5-star review if you laughed even once 👉 Join the Two Dads movement (we’re totally making that a thing) 💸 P.S.

How to Get Away from the Job You Hate - Episode 11 41:36

hace 10 weeks41:36

41:36

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?

TDIT Episode 10: People on LinkedIn Are Weird.. 49:34

hace 11 weeks49:34

49:34

Welcome to another hilarious, insightful, and completely unfiltered episode of Two Dads in Tech ! In this episode, Troy Munson and Daniel Berk sit down with the one, the only, the myth, the legend— Brian LaManna from Gong. And trust us, this guy isn’t just good at sales… rumor has it, he once debugged software by whispering “work” at the code. We kick things off by breaking down Brian’s sales career, his approach to being a top 1% AE , and his new venture, ClosedWon.xyz , where he’s teaching sellers how to master modern outbound (because let’s be honest—most sales emails are garbage). But it’s not just sales talk. We go deep —like, “can Brian LaManna actually beat Daniel in a fight?” deep. We uncover: Brian’s sports background – Football, volleyball, and why his vertical jump might still be elite. Why most SDRs are struggling today (and what they can do to stand out in an AI-saturated world). The worst DMs we’ve ever received on LinkedIn —including threats over cold email frameworks (yes, really). Should AI replace SDRs? Or are humans still needed to actually close deals? The biggest regrets in our careers —Troy’s MongoDB story, Daniel’s six-figure student loans, and Brian’s take on leaving his last company too late. Why the college degree might be dead in 10 years —our hot takes on what the future of education should look like. What Brian does outside of sales —Pickleball, UFC fights, and why hanging with Monty (his dog) might be tougher than closing enterprise deals. Daniel’s workout routine… or lack thereof. Will 2025 be the year he finally gets jacked? (Troy remains skeptical.) And of course, it wouldn’t be Two Dads in Tech without dad jokes, roasting, and random chaos . If you’ve ever wanted to hear two tech dads grill a guest about his vertical jump, his chances in a fight, and his most uncomfortable DMs—all while dropping actual valuable sales insights—this is the episode for you.

TDIT Episode 9: China is Taking All of Our Data! 48:09

hace 12 weeks48:09

48:09

Welcome to another chaotic, hilarious, and slightly sleep-deprived episode of Two Dads in Tech ! This week, Troy Munson and Daniel Berk are back at it again—armed with dad jokes, hot takes on AI, and an in-depth analysis of just how many times you can wear pants before washing them. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.) Before we get into it, go try Superhuman, our sponsor on today's show. www.superhuman.com/twodadsintech Here’s What’s Cookin’ in This Episode: Burritos & Regret: Troy starts the episode stuffed with what was probably a 1,300-calorie burrito and on the verge of needing a mid-podcast nap. Daniel, meanwhile, reflects on his personal tortilla-to-chip ratio crisis. If you’ve ever overeaten at a Mexican restaurant (aka every time you’ve gone to one), this segment is for you. Dad Life Diaries: The duo tackles the great parenting debate—who changes diapers in public, and why do men’s restrooms still not have changing tables? Also, why do toddlers act like they drank three energy drinks the second you step outside the house? AI Smackdown: DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT: Is OpenAI in trouble? Did a Chinese startup really build a ChatGPT competitor for $6 million? Is this all just an elaborate scheme to make us even more confused about what AI tool to use? Troy and Daniel break down the buzz, throw in a few conspiracy theories, and ultimately decide that as long as AI keeps serving them better ads for hats, they’re good. Data Privacy? Meh. The dads dive into the real question: Should we actually care if China has our data? Troy and Daniel make a compelling argument for “Please, just show me better targeted ads so I don’t have to Google things.” The Great Clothing Debate: How many times can you wear jeans without washing them? Is there a correct number of days joggers should be worn before they enter the laundry cycle? More importantly, why do we all have that one pile of “not dirty but not clean” clothes sitting somewhere in our house? Would You Sell Your LinkedIn Account? Troy and Daniel tackle the million-dollar (or maybe seven-million-dollar) question—how much would someone have to pay you to delete your LinkedIn account forever? The answer? Depends on if the check clears. Cold Outreach Strategy: Troy breaks down his aggressive, multi-channel, no-automation-needed outbound approach to getting meetings, including why you should always call someone right after they accept your LinkedIn request. The Email Client That Changed Everything: Superhuman sponsors this episode, and Daniel and Troy reveal how switching to this lightning-fast email client transformed their inbox game. (Spoiler: Troy originally hated it. Now, he’s a diehard fan.) The Ultimate Life Goal: What’s the dream? For Daniel, it’s a mix of running, taking care of his family, and achieving financial freedom. For Troy, it’s never reporting to anyone ever again—preferably while sipping a frozen drink on a beach. Both agree that 10 years ago, they’d never have imagined they’d be where they are today. Beach vs. Mountains: The classic debate. Also, if you haven’t considered Curaçao for your next trip, Troy has some convincing reasons why it’s a hidden gem. Closing Thoughts: Want to sponsor the pod? Hit up Daniel at daniel@twodadsintech.com . Want more dad jokes, spicy takes, and high-quality nonsense? Subscribe, follow, and share with a fellow dad who needs a laugh. If you like your tech talk served with a side of absurd humor, dad relatability, and the occasional existential crisis about AI , this is the episode for you.
