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.
