  • New Dad Podcast Presents: A Guide to being a Zaddy (Part 2)
    Jul 28 2022

    In season one of New Dad's Guide to being a Zaddy we spoke with Sam Stahl about basic approaches dads could use to feel more confident styling their hair. For part two we knew we had to have Sam back but also knew we had to go bigger.

    So we brought back another fan favorite Katelyn Bendix from our single mom episode to help go through Uncle Tickles closet and find the heat and skeletons. Katelyn uses her years as an ultra successful stylist to some of Hollywoods elite to help elevate the dad look to a new level.

    This is a great episode to listen to but an even better to watch so head over to the TKOK Podcast Network Youtube Channel and give it a gander.
