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!

You never know when the next person you connect with could change the course of your life. Matt Drinkhahn is an explorer, a business coach, and strategist to growth-minded leaders and a proud FrontRowDad.
You have to be innovative as an entrepreneur, father, husband and coach…
In order to improve and stay fresh today’s guest journals and gets feedback!
Today we talk about what makes a good coach, a good dad, a trustworthy husband, psychedelics, and doing things on our own terms!
Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.
Matt collects chicken soup books, holds family board meetings, and is an eternal optimist even through many surgeries!
“My Mission is to push people to be the best they can be and to OWN that we were all made with limitless potential.”
Matt’s career has been highlighted by his passion for his customers and people. His career sales totals exceed $130Million. He’s coached and given talks within organizations such as Equitable, Vector Marketing, Red Hat, CoreNet, EO(Entrepreneur’s Organization), Oracle, Bank of America, Tarkett, Rheem, Google, and Front Row Dads. He has grown his reputation on the platforms of integrity for doing the right thing the right way and his highly energetic and enthusiastic personality. Matt lives in Charlotte, NC with his wife Julie and their 3 young daughters where he enjoys being a scratch golfer, avid sports fan, real estate investor, and a VERY active family man 😊.
One of the recent defining moments in Matt’s career came as a result of a freak zipline accident in 2015. As he was speedingdown a zipline, the attachment to the line broke and sent him falling to the ground where he crash-landed directly on his spine. Over the next 9 months his physical health deteriorated to the point where he ultimately wasn’t able to walk anymore and was in constant excruciating pain. Using his strategy of “let your adversities guide your growth”, he turned this great challenge into a great teacher and coached and spoke to teams and companies as he was literally lying flat on his back in his home office. Ultimately 2016 was his best year in business up to that date and Matt credits the support of his family and the preparation of his mindset through “eternal optimism” for his success. Listen to The Eternal Optimist Podcast on all major podcast platforms!
Matt is a successful entrepreneur and veteran in the corporate world where he has specialized in sales, coaching, recruiting, leadership, and sales management throughout his career. He acquired his formal education at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC with a double major in Psychology and Business Economics. Before his graduation in 1999, he opened his first business in Winston-Salem and over his first 5 years out of school he recruited over 2000 sales representatives for Vector Marketing/Cutco Cutlery throughout the Carolinas. He then moved on to pursue his dream as a professional golfer. He played the professional golf mini-tour circuit for three years before moving into corporate America to work for Clearwire. After building one of the most successful direct sales teams in the company’s history in Atlanta, he was promoted to General Manager and moved with the company to Nashville, Boston, and then Providence. After a great deal of success Matt was heavily recruited and moved to Charlotte, NC to recruit and train the field sales team for Time Warner Cable Business Class. He spent nearly 3 years there achieving great results when he decided it was time to follow his passion to help individuals and teams perform at high levels through business coaching and consulting with ProAdvisor Coach.

Season 4! No degree no problem! Bring good values though! Where did you go to school? Where do you work? What you need to know is how to network, interview, and sell yourself! No formal degree is needed to be a genius! If people are asking about your degree you are probably doing something wrong. The beauty of showing up on social media has helped Jonaed Iqbal land jobs!
Born in Bangladesh, from a large family, Jonaed splits his time between Twitter, TikTok, and Linkedin!
He’s done over 400 resumes and he supports many online.
Jonaed’s dad wasn’t around during the first year of his life, but he learned all about him from his cousins. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.
“The value of work is something that goes beyond a degree, wealth, or prestige. It is about being independent and achieving financial freedom. Regardless of background, academic achievement, or formal education, everyone has something to offer. Jonaed Iqbal believes everyone should be able to find a meaningful job.” - Kenneth Atkins
Jonaed Iqbal is a career consultant based in New York City. He has set out with a goal to assist people without college degrees find new job opportunities.
He is the founder of NoDegree.com. The website is home to an innovative local job search platform, which aims to connect people with suitable career paths, even without formal degrees.
Education is often costly and not easy to access for some people — especially young men and women. However, the absence of a degree doesn't mean a lack of talent or skills. In fact, there are many passionate, qualified, and hard-working people around us. They're all searching for the perfect opportunities, often bouncing from closed door to closed door.

He came up with a service that would lead to more accurate and clear posts from employers looking for the best candidates. Through NoDegree.com, employers can post better ads. In turn, better job ads attract higher quality job seekers, who might be a better match.
Based in the New York City area, Jonaed has an extensive professional background across various industries. He has served as an actuary at MetLife and worked as a financial analyst and consultant for New York City public schools. Believing in the potential of his idea, he decided to launch NoDegree.com and pursue speaking engagements on a full-time basis. He now focuses on running NoDegree.com. The site serves job seekers and employers in the New York City area at the moment, but Jonaed plans on expanding it in the future.
Jonaed is a friendly and open-minded person, dedicated to his family and friends. People around him describe him as a kind, supporting, caring person, whose mission is to help others. Whether it's about assisting them with their job search, tutoring them, or inspiring them with his unflinching talks — anything goes!

Everyone deserves a community. We aren’t supposed to have all the answers or know how to do everything on our own! How do we construct our village and allow people to help? It’s hard to let love in, it requires patience and compassion my dad says.
Building Your Village is about what communities actually mean! Florence Ann Romano and I met on her Windy Cindy Nanny web series when I was going through postpartum having had a preemie 7 weeks early. The series covered a wide range of guests and topics from single parents, to blended families, to widowed parents, and it helped her come up with the idea for her book! How do you find a good nanny? How are we parenting? How do you find your tribe and identify potential villagers? What questions should you be asking a caretaker? It’s a self care journey in how we show up for people! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.
Florence Ann Romano (www.florenceann.com) is a village advocate, philanthropist, and author who has always had a special place in her heart for family and community. She worked as a childcare provider for over 15 years and believes the key to a family’s success lies in focusing on what she calls THE TRIFECTA - parent, child, and caretaker working in unison toward common, family goals. Her latest book, Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life, will be published by Beyond Words on February 21, 2023.
Florence Ann also has been featured on over 500 national and local media outlets across the country, including ABC/CBS/ NBC and FOX TV affiliates, Home & Family, The Jenny McCarthy Show, SiriusXM, and more. Her loyal followers on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube have grown into a robust, engaged social media village of moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and childcare providers that grows larger every day. She is also currently a regular expert on over 10 different national TV affiliates across America!
Born and raised just outside of Chicago, Florence Ann earned a degree in performance theatre at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. She has served as President and Founder of a non-profit board dedicated to autism awareness and now serves on the Executive Board of the Children's Research Fund at Lurie's Children's Hospital and is a founding member of Sesame Street’s Leadership Council.

What are the basic beliefs of satanism? How do you get to hell? What is unforgivable? What is blasphemy? Alex Parkview was raised Roman Catholic, did the sacraments, but his dad was closest to a Buddhist. His dad wanted him to have a moral background. Alex feels like his "A Twist Of Faith" podcast is his calling to make people think about things they don’t normally think about just like his dad did after sermons. He tried him help him understand the Bible even though they didn’t get to church together. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Place For Controversy.
There are no atheists in a Fox hole! 27 months in IRAQ! Alex says you do away with emotions and recruiters lie!
"His podcast is an in-depth but modernized and simplified look at as many different religions/spiritual ideologies. To advocate for the nonbeliever in an attempt to help them understand and apply their chosen set of beliefs in a world dead set on pigeonholing them. Also, a realistic look at some popular religious myths all backed by scripture from the teachings of whichever religion said myth pertains to."
