I'm on a quest, apparently, to try to understand the way fatherhood has been portrayed historically. I have no idea where I'm headed, but that's the fun part. I believe I can better understand some of the inner struggles I face today as a father by looking back to uncover what insight and/or perspective history has to offer. 

Thank you for joining me!

The role of the father: past, present and future

Do you have a new year's resolution? It seems like most people this year are staying away from that. In this episode, I'm doing the exact opposite & talk about what my new year's resolution is, as well as why I think it's important for more DADS to follow my lead in adopting this specific one.

Here's to 2021! Happy New Year!
