Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Arts and the founder of 100 Hours Outside.

And I'm so thrilled that Chip Layton is back. He has written a brand new book called

Dad Can You Not? A Dad's Guide to Being Less Cringy. Chip,y chip welcome back also i want you to know i got a pair

of dad's socks in the mail when they sent the book so i'm saving them for my husband for father's day

perfect perfect application of that and yeah it's great to be back i had a really fun conversation

the first time so looking forward to this one you have done cool thing, the thing that everybody talks about doing, but doesn't, or it's,

I mean, it's more rare, where you found your niche.

You're in this comedy and really unique.

You know, people say there's nothing new under the sun, But in some ways, I'm like, this is a really

unique time to be alive where kids can text their parents. And you just have this different,

I think, level of joking around with each other that was not, it was like not a thing.

You know, but I feel like people didn't even interact all that much, you know, with their kids

and decades past. And so you now have two books that have come out. Your first one is a New York Times bestseller. And then this brand new one, Dad Can You Not, a dad's guide to being less cringy. What I have thought about Chip, a couple of things. First of all, that's a huge leap. It's like a huge leap of bravery, but you talk about how

at the end you get to spend more time with your family. So it's a huge leap of bravery and also a

huge acquisition of new skills. So can you talk, I want to talk about both parts before we

dive into the book, but can you talk about them? Obviously, it's difficult to be an entrepreneur, very difficult that you know nothing. You know, your kids talk about or we're going to have to fly spirit now. I think spirit actually closed. No, they're out of business, yeah. Yeah, that was a joke at the beginning. You're like, this is risky, but you do talk in this book. You know, it comes up that now you get to spend more time with your family. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, I kind of in some way stumbled into this whole thing. So I just, you know, as background for, for listeners, I mean, I was in the corporate world for like 25 years. And working kind of a traditional job. And I started about five years ago just posting some

stuff on TikTok just to see what would happen. And eventually it kind of caught on. And yeah,

I was doing that, you know, nights and weekends for a couple of years while I was working full time.
