This overview represents the evolving journey of THE FATHERLY EDITION — Business of Positive Parenting — a continuous conversation on fatherhood, not just a one-off episode.The Fatherly Edition is a platform and podcast created by Dr Tommaso Maggio to explore and reshape the narrative around modern fatherhood. It originated from his personal experiences co-creating children's books and noticing a gap in parenting conversations regarding fathers. The platform features interviews with fathers from around the world, discussing their experiences, challenges, and tips related to parenting. It covers topics like mindfulness, work-life balance, and positive parenting strategies. The goal is to foster connection and break down stereotypes surrounding fatherhood. The project has expanded to include multiple seasons of podcasts in both English and Italian.

What about turning off your mobile and having some me-time? If this is something that you do or trying to do, you will love this episode of this podcast by me, Tommaso Maggio, an Italian daddy in Bangkok.

Today, I had the pleasure to chat with Peter Bruun, who is based in the Netherlands. He is a fellow member of the L&D Shaker community: a network of learning and development professionals. The first time we tried to call, Peter was in a forest 🌲, enjoying some nature time, while I was in a concrete jungle 🏙️, surrounded by buildings and traffic. We decided to use Adobe Podcast instead of Zoom because Zoom announced that they would collect all user data to improve their AI service. We wanted to have some privacy and security for our conversation. 🔒

Peter is not only an entrepreneur and a social psychologist but also a father of three daughters! 👨‍👧‍👧 He told me how he is always learning from them, especially at home. He also shared with me an amazing initiative that he started a few years ago: Peter’s Campfire 🔥. It is a regular event where he invites a small group of fathers to join him around a campfire and talk openly about anything related to parenting.

In this episode, we discussed:
