#1 Who we are and why are we doing this! LET'S GO!!!

Welcome to the Daughters that Shred podcast! When we hit record, we didn’t have a show name yet! But who cares, let's go! Come meet Patty, Mik and Ty. Three dads who have daughters at different stages. Ty has two daughters under the age of 4, Pat has one daughter who is a week old, and Mik has one daughter under the age of 3 and one more on the way! In this episode, we set up why we wanted to do the show, what listeners can expect (hopefully alot of LOLs) and what we hope to achieve! Expect to hear poo stories, bonding moments and outrageous situations that only parents seem to find themselves in.  A big part of why we are doing this is to connect with other dads, share hard times and reflect with each other to be the best dad we can be for our ladies. You can connect with us on insta @daughtersthatshred Episodes will come out occasionally between nappies, sleep deprivation, family time and of course, surfing!
