The Tadpole Agency
The Dad Complex is a podcast hosted by Jonathan Silva based around fatherhood, career growth, and everything else that falls in between. The Dad Complex is fueled by Monomyth Coffee in Lubbock, TX.
This week, I'm excited to have my long-time friend Jonathan Seaborn on The Dad Complex. I've known Jonathan for over 10 years now, and we've seen each other turn from Jonathan(s) the musician to the part-time dream chasers to finding our dream careers and becoming dads around the same time. We started a Weezer cover band once, but it happened to be about when life started coming at us faster, and we never performed together. Since you'll never know, you can trust me when I say it would have, could have, and was badass.
NOTE: Since the recording of this episode, Jonathan accepted the GM position at KUAR in Little Rock, AR. I'm sad to see such a tremendous person leave Lubbock, but we're proud to see him make some big moves for his career and family!

Episode 4 features my pal, mortgage loan officer extraordinaire, and all-around wonderful human, Tom Couture. Tom is my first guest who has entered the coveted "grandpa" stage, although you wouldn't know it. We had a great conversation filled with high-key aphorisms and lots of love. I hope you enjoy it.

This week, my guest is Michael Clintsman, founder and owner of three of my favorite bars in Lubbock and one of the first "Dad friends" I made when I became a father. Michael has a son named Everett, and his wife, Paige, also does a lot of work with their businesses. Michael's a great guy with a ton of good insight into being a dad and working hard to grow businesses. As a serial entrepreneur working in college bars can be tricky. He manages it all with finesse while slinging some of my all-time favorite food and drinks. Enjoy the episode!

My guest for this episode is Gabriel Reyes of Victory Homes. Gabriel has 4 kids - 3 girls and 1 boy- from 5 to 13 years old. Gabriel is an Army Veteran and was raised very similarly to me. We've been friends for a couple of years at this point, and I've been able to look up to him as a father, business owner, and as a genuine character.
Throughout the episode, we discuss raising our children, having strong women by our sides, and what our homes were like growing up. It was a great conversation, and I'm glad I was able to have him on.
This episode was fueled by Monomyth Coffee.
