For this episode we introduce and explain Meetup.com (http://www.meetup.com) and where the foundation of the Dudes To Dads Podcast came from.  Alan and Jason are joined by 2 dads from the local Meetup group, Scott and Nathan.  Scott provides insight as to his style of parenting which includes providing looser boundaries for his son.  Nathan shares stories about his kids and how his parenting style differs a bit from Scott. During this episode we cover some questions that relate to where to get advice, challenges faced as a new dad and pressure that is put on kids.  Jason reflects on his own childhood and how that pressure is not necessarily positive.
