Episode Synopsis

What happens when you trade algorithms for orioles? Michael Lombardo joins us to talk about his leap from Google and YouTube into fatherhood, community building, and birdwatching. Along the way, we dig into tech disillusionment, the addictive pull of screens, and why birds might be the antidote all dads and parents all over need to understand a chaotic world. With binoculars, poems, and plenty of dad jokes, he’s turned birding into more than a hobby—it’s become a community lifeline for the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn where he hosts weekly birding group events on Saturday mornings. In this can't miss episode, Michael helps us understand how nature, neighborhood, and new parenthood all intersect.
