About this episode

In this episode of Radio Dad with Mike Austin, I chat with Rick Walton, author of the book: "Road Tripping (A parent's guide to planning & surviving the annual car trip".  Now that folks are itching to travel again, it's family vacation time!  rick and I talk about:

1) How do you pick where to go ( The purpose is the PEOPLE not the DESTINATION )

2) What about stress? ( Over plan but stay flex and spontaneous )

3) How far is a good distance to go in one day? ( My dad's 600 mile jump! )

4) Having fun on the CHEAP. ( Rick's #1 idea for souvenir buying and saving money....GENIUS ! )

5) A tip for single/divorced dads ( talk to your ex )

...AND MORE!

Next up, it's a Dad-preneur talk with Fred Gretsch of Drums & guitars fame!  I talk with Fred about the family legacy and...

1) Famous drummers from the past from Louie Belson to Phil Collins and how Radio City Music Hall played into the early days and getting the Gretsch name out there.

2) 1883 was the big year that Fred's Grandfather came to America and started a small music shop and sold banjos, drums, etc.

3) How he rescued the family business after his Uncle sold it to Baldwin Pianos.

....AND MORE!
