Season 3 finale of FatherShould, Karen Faustin joins the show, turning the tables on Fleming and Ms. Von to gauge their reflections on the latest season. Among other poignant and thought-provoking questions, she asks them both to summarize the season in three words, and has each expand on the other’s chosen words. They touch on the sacrifice and hard work of building a successful podcast, what they appreciate about each other, and what they’ve learned from their guests. It’s emotional.

They also look to the future, to Season 4 and beyond, and reveal what shape they hope the show will take. Fleming, notably hoping for it to become an agent of change.

September 01, 2022 You Sound Just Like Your…
“There’s nothing wrong with needing a time-out from your kid,“ says Ganell Lewis, who returns to the podcast to talk about the challenges of co-parenting, custody arrangements, and the influence of parents on children via both nature and nurture. Ganell argues that family courts work to keep children with their mothers regardless of the childrens’ best interest, and that the role of fathers is not taken seriously because it’s not recognized. Ms. Vonn argues that men don’t make the same sacrifices as women in terms of child rearing and therefore co-parenting should be divided more equally. Fleming argues that if women want equal custody, they have to give up a certain amount of power and control (and some will have to be willing to part with the extra money). Throughout this lively hour, all three dare to be honest about issues society tends to gloss over, fairly turn over both sides of every issue, and check themselves as gamely as they check each other and the rest of society. As always, they find humor and camaraderie amidst even the heavier topics, and you’ll find yourself nodding along–and shaking your head–throughout.

After their first son was born, Marcus and his wife, decided to homeschool their son, developed the school’s original curriculum based on neuroscientist Glenn Doman’s flash method. The school opened in February of 2008, for parents who were looking for alternatives to the public schools in Chicago. Since then, they’ve welcomed hundreds of students through their doors, expanding into a School of Literacy for kids coming out of daycare. Academic rigor and an understanding of culture remains at the heart of the curriculum at Freedom Home Academy.Even students who were failing in, (and/or were failed by) the public system, have gone on to achieve academic excellence, either when transferring to elite private high schools or going on to elite universities. Marcus tells the heartbreaking-turned-life-affirming story of C.J., who went from a class pariah at his previous school to Dean’s List thanks to Freedom Home’s commitment to reaching students where they are.
