How You Do Dad

Here’s a look into how we celebrated Father’s Day weekend at Daddy Day, our first ever How You Do Dad live podcast event! With our friends Bryan(Botak)Chin and Iherng, we took a look at how the guys are navigating the precarious balance in their family and personal play time. Juggling the guilt of alone time, and how they keep the family involved. Diving deeper, we also had an honest check-in on fatherhood pressures—from mental health, to relationships, self-identity.

This week on How You Do Dad, we’re putting fatherhood aside—just for a bit—and diving into the world of guy friendships.

Joining us is the godfather of Malaysia’s streetwear scene, Bryan (Botak) Chin, as we get real about what guy groups are actually like behind the scenes.

Are our friendships just surface-level? Do we talk about our feelings when the wives aren’t around? And the big one—would we ever call out a bro for toxic behaviour?

Is this a win for your child… or for you?

What does “successful parenting” really mean today? In this episode, we’re joined by Daphne Iking and Scott’s to talk about how we measure our kids’ progress, why we compare milestones (even when we don’t mean to), and how to check ourselves before our expectations take over.

Are we really supporting our kids—or just projecting? Let’s get honest about what it means to celebrate every win, big or small.Join us as we learn from mistakes and figure out this thing called daddyhood.

Brought to you by Scott’s, we also talk about how our kids are way smarter than we think—they pick up on how we handle boundaries, failure, and those everyday “teachable moments”.
