Ivan Decker sits down with me to talk about his fatherhood journey. He shares the values he looks to instill into his son. In addition, he gives a great dad hack about cutting your baby’s fingernails. After that we talk about his new comedy special, Popcorn. I ask Ivan how he balances fatherhood and parenting material to his other content when it comes to creating new material for his stand-up shows. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five.
