Our 1st DAD guest of Season 3 is a powerful conversation featuring Matthew Biswas, a father of three who found himself navigating solo parenthood after his wife left in 2015. With a 20-year-old daughter and two sons aged 15 and 9 at the time, Matthew chose to step fully into the role of the only parent—not just a single one.

He shares how he made the decision to move forward with as little disruption as possible, putting his children first in every way—from home-cooked meals to emotional modeling, from structured routines to deep personal growth. Along the way, he discovered a deeper sense of self, did the hard inner work, and eventually co-founded Men and Mastery, a space for men to connect, learn, and grow.

This episode is full of honest reflections, powerful lessons, and actionable takeaways for anyone raising boys—especially those doing it solo.
