Gents - This has to be one of my top five interviews of the year. RJD The Imperfect Gentleman and I have a raw discussion about the expectations of being a real dad. We explore how trying to sweep things under the rug can leave land mines for our kids to trip over. Can you be real with yourself? Do you recognize areas you need to level up? And do you give yourself the grace to go through the process?
The genesis of his work with men as "The Imperfect Gentleman"
Let’s take perfection out of the discussion and talk about progress
Talking out loud to myself to help other men become kings
Embracing the process of becoming a man
Emotionally stunted men because we don’t allow them space to feel emotions
The challenge of skipping emotional steps
Sweeping things under the carpet
Why do we immediately go to anger?
You can’t check in on those who you have not checked onI'd love to hear you struggled with reconciling your own expectations with giving yourself room to grow as a dad.
