Built Different
Parenthood is hard. And dads don't talk about it enough. So we built this to help.
Stories to learn from. A place to ask when you need support. A community that gets it.
Welcome to Pophood.
What's Inside
Everything here is built around life as it actually happens. Not advice shouted from a stage. Not perfection packaged as content.
Stories
Real experiences from real pops. The wins. The screwups. The lessons that actually help.
Share yours. Learn from theirs.

The Trenches
