Accomplished Montreal architect Tudor Radulescu is our guest on this week’s episode and we couldn’t have designed a better guest! His firm did the full re-design of the Montreal Biodome, among a ton of other projects over the past 18 years. Tudor spoke with us about his volunteer time as a basketball coach, his close relationship with his boys, the mentoring non-profit called Pour 3 Points, the sacrifices his parents made leaving Romania and much more.

Julie Savaria is a Justice, Equity, Diversion and Inclusion (JEDI) trainer, and our discussion this week was so good she’ll be joining us again soon for Part II. In this episode, we discuss issues surrounding race and raising kids in today’s world, the idea of “toxic masculinity” (hint: both Evolving Dads and Julie don’t like this term at all), and more.

Sam Roberts is a 5-time Juno award winning musician, along with his bandmates in the Sam Roberts Band. He spoke with Evolving Dads about his parents’ role in shaping his early interest in music, the need to balance the ideals of support, discipline and practice in his 3 kids according to their needs, the progression and thought process behind his recent music, and more. He’s such a well-rounded, down-to-earth guy - it was a genuine pleasure to have Sam as our guest.

Kenny Bodanis is a writer and media producer, and the father of two teens. He talks to the Evolving Dads crew about writing, parenting, and the need for men to be allowed their own fears of fatherhood and the fact that guys need to talk. (We agree!). We especially like the idea of a short phone call with friends to discuss anything, no matter how trivial. He’s got a ton of wisdom for dads in this excellent episode.
