Summary

This episode is so jam-packed with talent, our brag sheets literally broke! Join us as we chat with Broadway sensation Melissa Errico, a self-proclaimed "solopreneur" who's singing better than ever, and tennis legend Patrick McEnroe, the longest serving Davis Cup captain in history. After 27 years of marriage, this duo navigates demanding careers and three teenage daughters. Discover Melissa's parenting superpowers, while Patrick champions letting his kids make their own choices (no curfews!). Patrick's "wait for the ball" wisdom guides their calm approach to life, while Melissa handles the "management skills" of their wildly successful lives. This couple proves that with a dash of maybe and a lot of laughs, anything's possible. Visit Melissa: https://melissaerrico.com/ Join us: http://dadville.substack.com Thanks to our sponsors!
