Food entrepreneur, podcaster, and dad of two Pauly Guglielmo joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a conversation about running a business while raising kids, paternity leave struggles, childhood trauma, how we're trying not to traumatize our own kids, and more.

Don't worry, this episode is not a downer! We also talk about the joys of parenthood, like going to Costco and Fringe Fest with your 6-year-old, buying them little toys just to make them smile, the pride you feel putting food on the table, and the fuck around find out parenting style.

Fact check: during the episode, Emily mentions that 1 in 8 pregnancies ends in miscarriage and notes that she'll fact check herself later. Per the Cleveland Clinic, about 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
