Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!)

What Is a "Lead Dad" ...And Could I Be One? | Paul Sullivan on Fatherhood


Listen Later

When you hear the phrase "Lead Dad," what does it make you think? A "stay at home" dad? A dad who prides himself on being the more involved parent? To Paul Sullivan, Founder of The Company of Dads, being a "Lead Dad" is much different... and many of us naturally fall into the category. Hear Paul discuss The Company of Dads' mission to inspire more men to be Lead Dads, and inspire families to experience their full potential. At the end, Marc shares a curious installment of "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?"
 

Modern Dadhood Episode 98 opens with a brief catch-up between the guys before Adam shares about a video that recently crossed his feed about a group of dads who meet at a local elementary school to greet kids as they arrive for their school day. The video was shared by Paul Sullivan, Founder of the Company of Dads and father of three daughters between 6 and 14. Paul joins us to chat about his organization, its mission, and what it means to be a "Lead Dad." Topics of conversation include:

•  How did The Company of Dads come to be?
•  What is a Lead Dad?
•  By labeling oneself a Lead Dad, is it taking credit from the mom?
•  Average maternity & paternity leaves in the USA
•  Resources available to Lead Dads
•  And more!

Stay tuned for an installment of Did I Just Say That Out Loud? featuring the newly 6-year-old Checket twins.
