As a human, especially a male, it can be naturally challenging to feel comfortable talking about our struggles. Most weren’t raised that way, which ruins opportunities to dive deep with other men. Specifically dads. Thankfully, I’ve had some great examples over the past ten years. Now, I’m somehow convincing friends to get in front of a microphone and camera to discuss our unique experiences as fathers and how those experiences have affected our careers and relationships along the way. If you’re a new dad, you’ll quickly realize that none of us knew, or know, what the hell we’re doing. Check out our current episodes below, and feel free to join the conversation in the comments!
