Girl Dad Nation

Welcome to Girl Dad Nation. I'm Matthew Krekeler, proud father of four amazing young girls, and I started this podcast to learn from other dads with daughters and hopefully share some helpful tips that I have learned as well. I'll be interviewing awesome dads from a variety of backgrounds and for quick tips on specific topics, check out the pods labeled "DAD HACKS." If you have a question, comment, or dad hack of your own, send me an email at: GirlDadNationPodcast@gmail.com And if you like this podcast, please leave a 5-Star review and share it with a friend. Thank you for being on this amazing journey with me. There is no greater joy than being a dad!
