During my Second Day at Dad 2.0 2017 I spent a lot of time talking. I started off with some breakfast and then headed to the opening keynote. After that I was walking around the marketplace and was asked if I wanted to take a test drive in a Kia Niro. The car was loaded up with cameras of all sorts plus a cameraman in the front passenger seat and an interviewer in the back seat. She asked me questions as I drove around La Jolla a bit. I enjoyed driving the car and had a fun time with the question and answer. I do love what Kia brings to the conference each year and doing the drive was so much fun.

I then went through the marketplace for a while and talked with a bunch of the sponsors. I was interviewed by Hero Clean, a new cleaning product service for men. They have a really nice product and message. I enjoyed talking with them and had a fun time doing the interview.

Much of the afternoon was a whirlwind. I went from sponsor to sponsor, session to session. At 3:00 I went to the Dove Men +Care Suite and got a haircut and goatee trim. The goatee trim was minimal but the haircut was as close to shaved as I could get it without actually shaving my head. One day I will go all the way, but not today.

After that I was interviewed by Josh Temple of HGTV, who was at the Rheem booth. It was a fun interview and I’ll have that to post soon.

In the later afternoon I talked to a few of the other dads who produce videos. We’re part of a Facebook group and I wanted to do a quick spotlight with them, just a small thing. You can find all of them in the video below. There are links out to all their channels.

Tonight was a special trip, thanks to General Mills Cereals, to Ballast Point Brewing company. We had an excellent dinner and then a tour of the brewery. They have some major brewing facilities. I did have their lager and enjoyed it very much. Desserts were Cereal Inspired desserts including a Cheerios and Trix Marshmallow bar and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Chocolate Truffles. Both were very good. Look for me to do more about General Mills closer to #NationalCerealDay, March 7th.

It was another nice day at Dad 2.0.

A quiet day around these parts. Lot’s of catching up on sleep but I also wrote a post for a Pampers Campaign. Yes, a Pampers campaign. The kids have been out of diapers for a while now but we are talking about how our babies made us dads. I recount our lives and more and how the kids turned me into a dad. You can read that in this post My Journey to Becoming a Dad #ThanksBaby.

I also received this interesting video card from Dove Men +Care about Dad’s being Heroes as part of their #RealStrength campaign. You can watch the video on the Dove Men +Care YouTube Channel.

I also received a copy of the upcoming book from Disney called The Art of Disney Dragons. This is a beautiful hardcover book with incredible artwork of all the dragons that have been in Disney movies and cartoons.

I also received a tasty package of baked goods from Dancing Deer Baking Co. You can see more in the video and images below. Continue reading A Father’s Day Influx
