Episode 159

In this episode we catch up on life with a few big updates about the kids and what we’re learning as parents. We chat about the projects we’re working on at the moment, how we think about entrepreneurship, and why meeting people in the tech world still matters. We also explore some ideas around education, including homeschooling, and share a few thoughts from a book on the history of marriage. Plus Ali talks about his recent dive into Harry Potter fan fiction and why it’s surprisingly fun to read.Chapters(00:00) Life Updates and Personal Milestones(02:58) Navigating Parenting and Childcare(05:53) Entrepreneurial Ventures and Business Goals(09:00) Marketing Trends and Challenges(11:59) Networking and Staying Relevant in Tech(23:56) Reflections on Career and Future Aspirations(26:46) The Authenticity of Networking(31:11) Nostalgia and Reflection on Childhood(34:26) Emotional Growth and Parenting Challenges(36:50) The Joys of Team Sports(40:34) Balancing Work and Family Life(41:52) Exploring Education Options for Children(43:48) The Evolution of Marriage Perspectives(49:15) The Appeal of Fan Fiction
