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!

The statement "Daddies don't know everything" is a powerful reminder that parents, including fathers, are not infallible and cannot be expected to have all the answers.
It acknowledges that there are inherent communication and generational gaps between parents and their children and that children have their own unique interests, preferences, and paths to follow in life.
This realization typically dawns on parents as their children grow and start to assert their independence. It becomes evident that children cannot learn everything they need to know solely by watching their parents or by following their parents' guidance. Instead, children need the freedom to explore their own interests and make their own choices.
The message encourages parents to expose their children to various experiences, hobbies, and interests, without imposing their own preferences or expectations. By doing so, parents can help their children discover their own passions and talents, fostering individuality and personal growth.
Bruce Chamoff, the guest of the podcast episode, embodies this message as a father and as a founder of the World Podcast Network. In fact, he coined the term podcast network. His diverse background as a marketing visionary and software developer demonstrates the importance of allowing children to follow their own paths rather than trying to dictate their choices.
The podcast episode delves into various aspects of Bruce Chamoff's life, including his approach to podcasting, building authentic connections with audiences, and leaving a lasting legacy.
It highlights the value of finding one's own way in life and the power of connecting with others through shared interests and experiences.
The episode also mentions the book "The Do It Yourself Guide" by Todd Cochrane, which likely provides valuable insights into the world of podcasting.
Overall, the episode and the message "Daddies don't know everything" emphasize the importance of nurturing individuality and allowing children to explore and choose their own paths in life, while also highlighting the significance of authentic connections and leaving a meaningful legacy.
Book Mentioned in the episode
Todd Cochrane is the CEO of Blubrry Podcasting The Do It Yourself Guide
Mentions: Adam A. Adams, Rob Greenlee, Greg Wasserman, Alex Sanfilippo Cindy Springsteen social media and son Danny guest exchange

What's your best investment? According to today's guest, Christopher Panagiotu life on Earth is more than just existing – it's a continuous journey of growth and learning. We must keep moving, evolving, and seeking new experiences to truly live fulfilling lives.
Welcome back to another episode of Better Call Daddy! In today's episode, we delve deep into the fascinating and thought-provoking journey of Christopher Panagiotu.
At the heart of this interview is the exploration of life's purpose and the power of personal growth.
Christopher shares his experiences of overcoming a challenging relationship with his father and the profound impact it had on his path to becoming the person he is today.
With faith as his guiding light, Christopher discovered the importance of staying in motion and continuously striving for growth.
Join us as we unravel the significance of choice, love, and faith in shaping one's legacy. Get ready for a deeply inspiring conversation that will leave you pondering your own purpose in this journey called life. And when in doubt, Better Call Daddy!
Christopher A. Panagiotu, the CAP in CAPitalize, was introduced to investing at the tender age of 10. Fast forward to 18 and he accepted an internship at one of the largest wire house firms in the world, UBS. After three quick years of college at the University of Oregon, something was not sitting right with him, so he joined Morgan Stanley for a short stint where he quickly realized corporate life was not in his wheelhouse. Chris was extremely blessed to have discovered Lucia Capital Group and in 2015 he began his journey to grow what is now CAPitalize Your Finances. In his nearly seven years at Lucia Capital Group, Chris built his practice from scratch, going from $0 to nearly $100M in that time span.
Chris is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM Professional and a Certified and Chartered Retirement Plans SpecialistSM (CRPS®, conferred by the College for Financial Planning). He holds the following licenses with LPL Financial: series 7, and series 66. In 2020, Chris was recognized as a Five Star Wealth Manager* by the Seattle Times.
The CAP in CAPitalize is not your average financial advisor or financial planner by any means. Chris is the original CAPitalizer: one who is absolutely obsessed with profoundly understanding what there is to know about their passion. This translates to a striving push to perfection for clients’ outcomes and although there is no such thing as perfect, a CAPitalizer does not need to justify their knowledge with big words from Wall Street, complicated graphs, charts, or talking over people. A CAPitalizer wins based on loyalty, stewardship, and unwavering commitment to their family, friends, clients, and colleagues, which results in the overall growth and positivity within the CAPitalizer’s community.
This is what Chris is all about.
Outside of the office, Chris hosts the podcast “CAPitalize” (available on Spotify), roots for his Oregon Ducks, and most importantly, loves spending time with his wife, Stephanie. He gives thanks to God for every blessing that comes his way.

Welcome back to another episode of Better Call Daddy! Today, we have a powerful and deeply personal story that explores themes of obsession, trauma, mental health, and the complexities of family dynamics. In this episode with Kate Wallinga, our speaker takes us on a journey through her experience as a psychologist, a parent, and a grieving individual. We delve into her encounters with a patient who stalked their professor, the challenges of diagnosing and dealing with manipulative behavior, and the weighty decision to cut off ties with their own mother. We also explore the importance of support systems, the impact of negative experiences on personal growth, and the difficult process of grieving a loved one who died by suicide. Get ready for a raw and thought-provoking conversation as we dive deep into the complexities of human relationships, personal struggles, and finding strength in the face of adversity. So, grab your headphones and get ready for Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy.
Kate Wallinga is the host of Ignorance Was Bliss podcast. This is a podcast about how we become who we are — about making just about anything sound normal, from PTSD to podcasting to serial murder. It’s about people’s stories. Are you sure you really want to know?
Kate spent her entire professional life in the fields of mental health and criminal justice. Her favorite, hardest and most important work was specifically in the fields of correctional psych, forensic psych, and crisis assessment.
She grew up in upstate New York, and went to college near the Canadian border; her first psych internship was actually immediately next to the bridge between Ogdensburg, NY and Johnstown, ON. After that, she studied criminal justice and mental health counseling in Boston, then spent several years in New Hampshire. She’s worked in the NH State Prison system, a couple of different locked psychiatric facilities, and then several emergency rooms and eventually all manner of community settings.
Kate broke her back in 2014, and while she can move around a whole lot better than she could then, she still often feels stuck, as an acquaintance once pointed out, sitting on her couch listening to true crime podcasts all day. One thing I’ve noticed is that, quite often, she would hear someone ask, “But why would he do that?” or, “How could that happen?” or, her personal favorite, “Well, that’s crazy. That could never happen to me.” After a while of talking back, alone, long after they had moved on to new things, she decided to give the podcasting thing a try. She does give some background, of course, but she’s not trying to create a deep-dive, detailed, narrative style podcast. That has already been done, brilliantly, by so many people she admires. She can’t see any reason to try and compete with them, or even just add to the noise, when she already cannot find enough hours in the day to listen to everything she’d like to hear. Her goal, instead, is to try and answer some of those questions, at least from her own perspective. She doesn’t pretend to have all, or even most, of the answers… but she can usually come up with one or two.
Over time, the focus of her show has widened to include the normal, the average, the ordinary, that all of us can understand… but we continue to think of ourselves as somehow screwed up, weird, wrong. We’re not. You’re not. Honest.
Just make sure you really want to know. Because the most important certainty I carry, from all my time working with inmates and patients and onlookers, is that the only real difference between “us” and “them” is a key. And that everything we experience, from crippling anxiety to serial murder, is maybe not rational, but there is a logic to it. Kate can make things understandable.
And once you learn just how easy it can be to fall into the darker parts of life, you might think,”…I felt better before I knew that.”
Because sometimes… Ignorance Was Bliss.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of "Better Call Daddy"! In today's episode, we dive deep into an interview with the insightful Eric M. Wohlwend, former platoon sergeant, medic, and dad, who shares his wisdom on transitioning from the army service to real estate management. From the importance of experiencing failure to achieve success, to the role of loyalty and trust in achieving greatness, Eric's words are sure to leave a lasting impact. We also explore the world of investments, learning from experts and mentors, and the value of hard work and a willingness to take risks including flying airplanes through icy terrain. But that's not all! We delve into the realm of politics, questioning the motives behind decisions and the need for genuine leadership choices. He says question everything! As always, our show aims to provide wisdom, but we often find ourselves learning even more from our incredible guests. So join us as we add value to Eric's experiences and discover new insights together. Get ready for another enlightening episode of Better Call Daddy Show: The Safe Space For Controversy.
After losing 3 jobs, Eric bought his 1st rental with the last of his money. In the next 2 years he & his wife rehabbed, rented & refinanced 20 units to become financially free when he was only 30. Over the last 2 decades he has rehabbed & repositioned over a thousand more units. He has grown multiple businesses by creating systems that eliminate, automate and delegate work so he can have more time with his family.
He currently controls hundreds of units including single & multi-family residential properties as well as multiple types of commercial properties. He and his family have 4 Best-Selling books and own & operate multiple businesses. They do this and still spend half of their time traveling and speaking all over the world.
If you want enough passive income streams to be Financially Free Look at our Freedom Memberships today. Eric has spoken to, coached & mentored millions of people from all over the world. He teaches how you can start investing in Real Estate, Businesses, Oil Wells, Precious Metals and Crypto Currency right now.
Using what he teaches, both of his kids started buying real estate when they were seven years old (without their parents money or credit).
Eric has spoken in person in 1/2 a dozen countries and in countless states. He can be heard on podcasts & radio stations across the world. He is published in multiple articles in various Real Estate, Investment, Business, Family And Homeschool publications. He has also published multiple #1 bestselling books including “Family Success Triangle.”
By integrating Family, Business & Investing, he created plenty of time to be there with his family, travel, start & grow businesses, grow his real estate empire & still become a pilot, skydiver, SCUBA diver, black belt and a life member of the VFW and the NRA…
In fact Eric can frequently be found flying around the world with his family in one of their private planes. Say "Hi" when he is in your town.
