CONTEST ALERT: Leave a review for The Funny Business Podcast on iTunes by June 30th and you’ll be in the running to WIN one of two copies of BEING A DAD IS WEIRD: LESSONS IN FATHERHOOD FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS by Ben Falcone.
Tim and Ryan welcome a celebrity friend to this episode of Funny Business. Steve Falcone is a writer, professor, lover of life, and a beloved mentor to many, including the hosts of this podcast. He’s also the subject of a brand new best-selling book called BEING A DAD IS WEIRD: LESSONS IN FATHERHOOD FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS written by his son, Ben Falcone. Ben is one-half of the funniest couple in Hollywood (the other being his wife, Melissa McCarthy. Maybe you’ve heard of her?). In this funny and touching book, Ben hilariously compares and contrasts his dad’s irreverent parenting style to his own. The book is laugh-out-loud funny … and so is Steve. Enjoy this far-too-short chat with a dear old friend. (NOTE: The book, not unlike growing up on the mean streets of Carbondale, Illinois, has some salty language. It’s also wildly funny, also not unlike growing up on the mean streets of Carbondale, Illinois.)

ABOUT THE FUNNY BUSINESS PODCAST
Tim Miles and Ryan Patrick use their combined 40+ years experience working with family businesses to share stories, offer advice, and cut through the buzzword-saturated clutter of marketing and management advice.
Part Dave Barry and Part Dave Ramsey, these two guys look at the world—and the world of business—a little bit differently (and a little bit irreverently), and they’ve helped hundreds of businesses and thousands of people communicate more powerfully as a result.
