Bio
Joshua Stanley is a father, sponsored skateboarder and support worker. Josh advocates for children by promoting better parenting values...Especially for fathers, and he outlines this profoundly in a TEDx Talk he did (which is fantastic and I highly recommend it, you can watch it here). In this week's episode, Josh is with me live and in-person at his home in Canberra, on a Sunday morning, the day after the 21st annual Belco Bowl Jam, to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.
Enjoy!
Shan
