The Real Dad Society

I’m joined today by Tim Wotton, Tim has battled a chronic lung condition called Cystic Fibrosis and diabetes for nearly 50 years. He is an award-winning author, blogger, podcaster and public speaker, helping others to overcome their life and health challenges by sharing his physical and mental survival strategies. Tim lives in Wimbledon, England, with his wife and 12 year old son, he believes that every day is a gift with moments worth living for. Listen to this episode to find out how Tim learned to control his thoughts and how he manages to stay present in everyday life.

My guest today is Bertie Fagan from Sydney Australia, his whole life took a U-turn in one afternoon drive, to pick up his son. Bertie was addicted to drugs and alcohol for 25 years and this situation forced him to be honest about his addictions and behaviour. He had to take ownership and responsibility for the way he had been living his life. The last 2 years were very painful for Bertie but helped him to overcome his addictions. Listen to his story on how he used the last 2 years to become a better person and how spirituality saved his soul because he became very suicidal.

In this episode, I chat with Seth Ferguson about being a single dad and dealing with his ex-partner who has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. His ex cleaned out their bank accounts, changed the locks on their home and stole his son. Seth had no idea where his son was for 3 days...

Listen to his story about his journey to reclaim his son and his life.

I'm joined today by Bobby Hunter who lives 20 miles outside New Your City in New Jersey. Bobby is aged 52, happily married with 3 kids and also owns his own business in the medical field. Bobby considers himself to be a super dad, he just doesn't have the cape. 

 Johan Cloete drops in to chat to us about how he managed to be away from his family for 8 weeks at a time and still be there for his kids. He officiated in many of the world's top cricket tournaments like the IPL, CPL and 2015 World Cup. We also chat about parent behavior next to the sports field and what needs to be done to make sure that we are better examples for our kids. 

 Our guest this week is Charl Victor, genuinely one of the nicest and most positive people I have met. We chat to Charl about his parenting journey, and how he and his wife manage all their responsibilities while having a newborn and a very busy sport-loving 5 year old. 

Our 1st guest on THE REAL DAD SOCIETY is Nico Smit, one of South Africa's best online marketers.

Nico is divorced and here he goes into more detail about the type of parenting style their family has decided to follow.
