2020 has been a whirlwind. Many people lost loved ones, while others experienced the joy of working from home and got to spend more time with their families. Some people lost their businesses or their jobs, while others saw an opportunity to start a new business or side hustle. Regardless, this year hit everyone hard. While most of us got knocked down in some way during the wrath of COVID-19, the important thing is getting back up and counting the blessing that you do have. In 2020 you may have learned more about yourself than in any of the previous years of your life. You probably learned what you do like, what you don’t like, how you like to spend your time and the importance of health and family. So, in this episode we’re discussing what we’re looking forward to in 2021, the adjustments we’re making in our family, of course sharing our New Year’s Resolutions, as well as consulting you guys on the best type of resolutions to make and how to stay accountable to them. “Less than 8% of people make it to the end of the year with their New Year’s Resolution. Less than 25% make it past 30 days” - Dan Caldwell This week on Pretty and Punk: The importance of counting your blessings The shocking statistics around New Year’s Resolutions Why you need to start taking advantage of social media and sharing your businesses story, RIGHT NOW The benefits of setting shorter goals How to find an accountability partner Taking personal inventory of your life and cutting out the negative people in your circle Why a morning routine can set you up for success How to make your relationship a priority Ildiko and Dan’s personal resolutions Connect with the Pretty and Punk Podcast: Pretty and Punk Website Pretty and Punk Podcast on Facebook Pretty and Punk Podcast on Instagram Spicy Lil Pepper on Instagram Punk Ass on LinkedIn

Are You Struggling to Balance Marriage, Kids, and a Thriving Business? You’re Not Alone.
Do you ever feel like you’re constantly being pulled in a million directions? Like no matter how hard you work, there’s never enough time for your business, your marriage, and your children, all while still trying to take care of yourself?
Maybe you’re chasing financial success but feel disconnected from your spouse. Maybe you’re growing your business, but your kids are growing up faster than you can keep up. Or perhaps you’ve built something incredible, yet deep down, you’re still wondering: Is this what success is supposed to feel like?
If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the Pretty and Punk - Entrepreneur Parent Podcast, Where Ambitious Entrepreneurs Build Thriving Families.
Hosted by Dan Caldwell, founder of the $300M+ brand TapouT, and his wife Ildiko Ferenczi, actress, social media star, and the founder of Canada’s first woman-owned luxury architectural concrete company, this podcast is a game-changer for entrepreneurs who refuse to choose between their family and their dreams. Together with their two young children, the world’s youngest podcasters, Daniel and Destiny, they invite you on their journey of building a thriving business while raising a strong, connected family.
This podcast was born during one of the most challenging seasons of our lives. While facing one of our greatest obstacles, we realized that success in business means nothing if we’re losing the people who matter most. We wanted more, we wanted financial freedom without sacrificing our family, our faith, or our dreams. And we know so many families are searching for that same balance.
This isn’t just another business podcast. It’s a real, raw, and powerful conversation about what it actually takes to build a successful business, a strong marriage, and raise future leaders, all at the same time.

The world tells us that becoming parents means sacrificing our dreams, but we believe that fatherhood and motherhood don’t make you weaker, they make you unstoppable. Parenthood doesn’t mean losing your identity; it’s a superpower you didn’t even know you had. And this podcast will help you tap into your God-given destiny.
