This week on Teeter Talks, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Tyler Champagne, Canadian comedian, dad of two, and the viral content creator behind Heated Seats. Known for his hilarious and wildly relatable parenting videos, Tyler is also the host of The THICCDAD Podcast, where he dives into the joys and challenges of fatherhood with his signature humour. In our conversation, we explore how he went from car content to parenting gold, why comedy is one of the most powerful leadership tools, and the importance of using your platform for impact. Get ready to laugh, reflect, and feel seen in the beautifully chaotic world of parenthood.

Join us as we dive into these topics:

• The story behind Heated Seats, how it started as a car comedy brand and naturally evolved into a top-tier parenting account.
• Why parenting is the ultimate act of leadership and how showing up with empathy, humour, and presence can shape the next generation.
• How Tyler’s comedy background equipped him with communication and quick-thinking skills that serve him in sales, content creation, and family life.
• The heart and hustle behind his Postpartum for Dads video series, how it’s breaking stigmas, building bridges, and educating partners through comedy.
• What it means to lead by example, especially in a digital world where kids are always watching.
• The importance of building community through authenticity and humour, and why laughing through the hard stuff is sometimes the most healing thing we can do.
  

Tyler’s blend of humour and heart with his take on fatherhood, leadership, and using comedy to spark meaningful conversation is exactly the kind of perspective we need more of.
