Work From Home Dadding | Pete Morse on Entrepreneurship, Fatherhood, WFH

For the last year and a half, many parents have been forced to adjust their work schedules to accommodate online learning, changes to child care, and more. For some of us, working from home has become second nature. For others of us, it's a chosen lifestyle. Today's guest is Pete Morse, a name you hear in the credits of each episode. Pete is a sound engineer, mixer, musician, and composer who constructed his state-of-the-art studio "Red Vault Audio" off the side of his house, awarding him the flexibility to work non-traditional hours and be more present with his wife and two young daughters. Listen to the end for a Paw Patrol-themed Did I Just Say That Out Loud?Episode 52 of Modern Dadhood opens with the guys reminding listeners that they are NOT experts in fatherhood, and then catching up on Marc and his wife's first kid-free getaway. The guys welcome Pete Morse into the conversation. Pete is the beauty and brains behind Red Vault Audio, a studio in Portland, Maine, which Pete designed and constructed within his home. Pete describes his line of work, and the joys, challenges, and general insanity of operating a business attached to your home when you have 5- and 7-year-old daughters. The conversation covers:•  Inspiring curiosity in your kids for what you do•  Supporting our kid's interest in music and instruments•  Kids crashing meetings and recording sessions•  The importance/impossibility of setting boundaries•  Tips for getting better audio in your Zoom meetings•  And more!Marc rounds out the episode with a rather alarming and mildly outrageous Paw Patrol-themed Did I Just Say That Out Loud?LINKSRed Vault Audio (homepage)Red Vault Audio (Instagram)Pete Kilpatrick Band - Songs From The Green Room (mixed and mastered by Pete Morse)Ohmaga!
