This blog is not primarily financially driven. I started blogging back in 2011, but I somehow stopped cold turkey. So, I started back up in 2021 in hopes of building a community and learn from other fathers out there doing their thing.
Regardless, beginning 2021, the FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations. So here goes…
First, the obvious: I am a father, friend, co-worker, partner, and so much more sharing life experiences with those that will listen.
Second, the less obvious: Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to disclose this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for me and even more tedious for readers. But rules are rules. To cover my ass and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every link and product I use, the following all hold true:
