Interview with Chip Leighton / Host of The Leighton Show

HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

What happens when a corporate executive with an MBA, a steady career, and a very normal dad life accidentally becomes one of the internet’s funniest fathers? Paul sits down with Chip Leighton—the creator behind the painfully relatable dad content so many parents secretly see themselves in—to talk about why his humor hits so hard, what teenagers are really like, and how laughter can make parenting feel a little less lonely. Chip shares how a few TikToks turned into millions of followers, a bestselling book, and a new release, Dad, Can You Not? But beneath the jokes is something every parent needs to hear: your kid is probably more normal than you think, and you’re probably doing better than you think too. This one is funny, honest, and full of those “wait… that happens in your house too?” moments.

Interview with Michael Taverna / Founder of The Ad Village

HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

Children are the most valuable - and vulnerable - targets for online advertisers. Every day, brands and tech companies use sophisticated tools to track, profile, and influence kids, shaping their choices before they even know they’re being sold to.
