John Rutter spent many years working as a school chappy, and during those years he noticed one thing – the critical role that father’s play in their kid's lives.

During that time John had been following the work that The Fathering Project had been undertaking. 

The Fathering Project was founded by West Australian doctor, author and researcher Bruce Robinson and exists to help dads realise the impact that their role as fathers can make to their kids and the community.

In this special Father's Day episode, John talks about the profound impact a dad can make, both good and bad.
