Summary
http://www.tropicalmba.com/parenting1/ Today's podcast is a very special episode.
Dan and Ian are taking some time this week to celebrate the birth of Ian's new son.
On this episode, you'll hear all about how Ian is transitioning to his new role as a parent.
Ian isn't alone in this adventure, though. Many of our listeners and members of our entrepreneurial community are parents as well.
Balancing parenting with entrepreneurship can be quite the challenge, and today's guest understands it as well as anyone.
Martijn Reintjes is the CEO of a company called Team Croco, which provides done-for-you split testing services. Martijn and his wife Ryanne have a two-year-old son named Milo, who they have brought along with them to several of our events.
Martijn shares a great deal of advice with Ian on today's podcast about what it means to be a parent and an entrepreneur.
