Joe Carr sits down with Tero Isokauppila for a deep dive into fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Tero shares how a profound psychedelic experience solidified his desire to become a dad and how he and his wife developed their parenting philosophy before their first child was even born. From the decision to have a home birth to understanding the importance of postpartum recovery, Tero unpacks the emotional and physical shifts of early parenthood.

But this episode isn’t just about parenting—it’s about pushing boundaries in sustainability and reimagining parenthood as a holistic, intentional experience. Tero introduces his game-changing innovation, Hiro Diapers, designed with patented fungal technology to help break down plastic waste. He also explains how adaptogenic mushrooms can be the ultimate superfood for both kids and parents, tackling gut health, immunity, and stress relief.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What are the benefits of a home birth vs. a hospital birth?

• How do adaptogenic mushrooms support pregnancy and child health?

• What’s the difference between U.S. and Europe on birth and parenting styles?

• To circumcise or not?

• What is minimalism and how can it be applied to parenting?

• Travel tips for long flights with kids

• Are eco-friendly diapers actually sustainable?

• How can dads support their partners postpartum?

Being dadicated isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about showing up.

It’s about committing to the kind of dad—and man—you want to be, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Joe Carr is a dad to Della, husband to Serenity, co-founder of Serenity Kids baby food, and the voice behind Dadicated Joe.
