Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

"Find your passion and follow it."
"If you follow your passion, you never work a day in your life."
Navigating the skies and the seas of corporate travel is no easy feat, but Chris Martin, Senior VP of Wings Global Travel, has mastered the art of movement.
In this high-flying episode of Better Call Daddy, Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Chris Martin live from the Offshore Technology Conference to talk about the complex world of travel logistics, where AI meets human touch, and where every journey is a lesson in culture and connection.
With a career spanning over two decades, Chris shares the evolution of the travel industry, the role of technology, and the value of diving into local communities. From chartering entire flights during a pandemic to embracing local cuisine that might just challenge your taste buds, Chris's tales are a passport to understanding the nuances of global mobility. But it's not all about boarding passes and business trips. Chris opens up about his personal journey, from his father's influence to raising children with passions as diverse as video games and pig farming. Discover the importance of being present, the legacy of hard work, and the unexpected lessons learned from raising show pigs—yes, you read that right.
