| One of my favorite lines from the movie Anchorman is when Ron Burgandy (Will Ferrell) is depressed and drinking in the bar because a woman was appointed as his co-anchor, and the bartender (Danny Trejo) tells him: “You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now!” Although I am a little sad that ladies can do stuff now and that I missed that golden age of the 1950’s when women still let men rule the roost (at least, that’s what it seems like from what I’ve seen on TV), with the changing times also comes changes for men. For instance, these days I’m seeing more dads out on the playground from all walks of life, hanging with their kids. To me, it’s always just felt natural and normal to want to spend time with my children, and I don’t think that’s a new sentiment shared by men per se, but I think many changes–from social to technological–have resulted in more business getting done on the playground. I have met 4 cool dads on the playground in the past few months alone, whose contact info is now in my phone for potential future business collaborations. Just yesterday in fact, I met a stay-at-home dad who side hustles as an entertainment photographer. Point is, times are changing, so don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for opportunities popping up in “unconventional” places–seems like it may just be the new norm. That’s all for now. -Paul Denni P.S. If you’re feeling generous… |
