Daddyhood
Daddyhood

We’re having a baby!! Join Colton as he explores his journey from fertility to watching his baby take their first steps. During this next year, Colton’s life is going to change forever and he is going to take you along for the ride. Colton will walk us through his unique journey of fertility which comes with decisions about surrogates, egg donors, adoption processes, and much more. He will meet with professionals, friends, and expecting parents to discuss their experiences becoming a parent as well as share his own stories.

On this week’s Daddyhood, Colton and Jordan are live from the HLTH conference in Las Vegas (quick note: this episode was recorded live at the conference in a loud convention hall—so you may hear some background noise throughout!!) with two leaders in fertility care: Dr. Asima Ahmad, co-founder & CMO of Carrot Fertility, and Dr. Josh Halpern, Chief Scientific Officer at Posterity Health. Colton shares his own “no sperm” diagnosis and the shame and confusion that came with it, while the doctors break down the basics every guy should know: why male-factor infertility is more common than people think, how lifestyle choices impact sperm health, and why TRT can completely shut sperm production down. They also cover when men should actually get tested, how to safely come off testosterone, and why sperm health is a window into overall men’s health. Plus, an inside look at the changing landscape of fertility benefits, access, and support for all families—including LGBTQ+ parents. A clear, honest guide for anyone beginning (or preparing for) their fertility journey.

On this week’s Daddyhood, Colton and Jordan sit down with Deri Green and Cameron Thomas from Toddle Skincare to talk about something every parent thinks about—but few really understand: how to keep your family’s skin healthy and protected.  What started with Deri trying to get his daughter to wear sunscreen has grown into a family brand built on science, safety, and making healthy habits simple. Along the way, Cam’s own family experience with his wife’s melanoma gave their mission an even deeper meaning, shaping how both dads think about sun exposure and everyday skincare. Together, they break down what parents should actually know about sunscreen, why “clean” ingredients matter, and how microbiome-focused, pre- and probiotic skincare can support the whole family—not just the kids.  They also swap parenting hacks, talk about balancing business and fatherhood, compare UK and U.S. family culture, and share their parenting wins of the week.
