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!

How important is it for creatives to support one another, and what impact can such a platform have on emerging talent?
Today, we're diving deep into an incredible creative journey with our guest Ken, also affectionately known as "Mr. Gentleman."
Ken's story is a melody of highs and lows, dreams, and the stubborn grit that keeps a creative soul pushing through.
From having his tune "Teddy Overload" played on Power 105 yet never hearing it himself, to conquering the world of club promotion with his friends - Ken's tale is one of persistence and heart. And he's sharing his experience of the unique challenge of being an up-and-coming artist in a world that's always craving fresh faces.
Speaking of fresh, Ken also gets personal, touching on his admiration for his parents' long-standing bond and his hope to have love just as strong one day.
He'll even delve into the challenges he faced in 2021, the legacy of family holiday traditions, and how, despite self-doubt and a competitive world of podcasting and music, he’s stayed true to himself, striving for podcast gold.
And don't miss out as Ken walks us through his identity journey, finding his voice despite a speech impediment, and the joy of providing a platform for others through his own show. All that under the shade of a family tree stretching from Barbados to the southern US.
So buckle up, as we span tales of identity, ambition, and the quest for that coveted wisdom rating. It's time to find out what's in a name, to see if hard times truly don't last, but tough people do, and why we're all looking for our voice in this noisy world.
Get ready to call in your fondest family memories and join Ken and us in a conversation that's sure to resonate with anyone chasing big dreams.

How can using icebreakers, like tongue twisters, set a more comfortable and engaging tone for a public speaking event or meeting?
Why is structure so important in communication, and how can the three-part structure improve the clarity and impact of our responses?
Welcome back to another engaging episode of Better Call Daddy, the show where conversations make you stop, reflect, and maybe even jot down some notes. Reena Friedman Watts, joined by her father, her hero, and number one fan, Wayne Friedman, dives into the intricacies of impactful communication in season four.
Today, we're thrilled to have Matt Abrahams, a seasoned communication expert, join us to unravel the art of breaking the ice and the essentials of speaking with confidence, especially when public speaking jitters come knocking.
From the profound lessons of Phil Zimbardo's Stanford Prison experiment to the lightheartedness of improv, Matt shares insights on how to be present, responsive, and creative in the moment.
Whether it's cutting down our words for sharp communication with teenagers or structuring our thoughts effectively in the workplace, Matt has got actionable strategies for you.
We also explore the balancing act of communication – its power to persuade as well as manipulate – and the importance of teaching ourselves to navigate these waters.
Matt's wisdom doesn't just come from his extensive teaching and podcasting experience, but also from the joy and humility he's learned from his own children.
In this episode, we're not just discussing tactics to communicate but the life experiences that inform them. We're striking at the heart of meaningful interactions, all underlined by the critical role of active listening and the beauty of embracing silence in conversation. So, get ready to be inspired to express yourself truthfully and thoughtfully, whether through podcasting, writing, or simply sharing a moment with a friend.
Don't forget to engage with us, because as Matt reminds us, everyone has something worth sharing. So listen closely, and join our journey through the nuances of connection in yet another candid and transformative episode of "Better Call Daddy." Now, let's dial in!
Matt Abrahams is a leading expert in communication with decades of experience as an educator, author, podcast host, and coach. As a Lecturer in Organizational Behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, he teaches popular classes in strategic communication and effective virtual presenting. He received Stanford GSB’s Alumni Teaching Award in recognition of his teaching students around the world. Outside of the classroom, Matt is a sought-after keynote speaker and communication consultant. He has helped countless presenters improve and hone their communication, including some who have delivered IPO road shows as well as Nobel Prize, TED, and World Economic Forum presentations. He also consults for the United Nations’ Secretary General’s Strategic Planning and Communication Office. His online talks garner millions of views and he hosts the popular, award-winning podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart The Podcast. His new book Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You’re Put on the Spot provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously, such as navigating Q&A sessions, shining in job interviews, providing effective feedback, making small talk, fixing faux pas, persuading others. His previous book Speaking Up without Freaking Out: 50 Techniques for Confident and Compelling Presenting has helped thousands of people manage speaking anxiety and present more confidently and authentically.

Ezra Max, a firm believer in the interconnectedness of life events, believes that nothing happens by chance. This outlook shapes his engagement with the world, particularly in his discussions, which often revolve around impactful subjects such as parenting and significant global issues.
