Today's show is a special one.

Dan and Ian are taking some time this week to celebrate the birth of Ian's new baby.

In this episode, you'll hear all about how Ian is transitioning to his new role as a parent.

And he isn't alone in this adventure. Many listeners, and members of our entrepreneurial community, are now moms and dads too.

Balancing parenting with entrepreneurship can be quite the challenge, which today's guest understands as well as anyone.

Martijn Reintjes is the CEO of a company called Team Croco, which provides done-for-you split testing services. Martijn and his wife Rian have a two-year-old son named Maro, who they have brought along with them to several Dynamite Circle events.

Tune in to hear Martijn share great advice about what it means to be a parent and an entrepreneur.

  • Why it's important to understand the way your baby communicates with you. (4:28)

  • How becoming a parent can actually make you more productive. (13:15)

  • How Martijn managed to grow his business while being a parent. (19:17)

  • Why location independence can open up more opportunities for parents. (24:35)
