Welcome to Episode Twenty-Seven with Michael Collins

(Michael’s Dad Stats:  11-year-old  son, five-year-old daughter.) 

Hey, new dads and dad-veterans! Presenting you with another fantastic dive into the deep end of fatherhood on "WHOA DAD! GO DAD!" This week, I’m thrilled to bring you an episode with Michael Collins, with a forte for storytelling and communications, who’s turned the art of improv into a phenomenal parenting tool.  

For the fledgling fathers like myself: Imagine fatherhood as a never-ending improv show where your tiny tots are the unpredictable co-stars. Michael teaches us the power of "yes, and" – the improv technique that transforms rigid parenting scripts into dynamic, playful engagements. You’ll learn how to roll with the punches, whether it's dealing with midnight meltdowns or the great vegetable standoff at dinner. Michael’s strategies aren't just about keeping the peace; they're about enriching your interactions with your children, making every day a bit more like play and a lot less like work.

For dads at all stages: Beyond the basics, Michael delves into how his background in storytelling and presentation has shaped his parenting approach, emphasizing that our kids and even our partners are our scene partners in the grand performance of life. Every interaction is a scene where cooperation, creativity, and sometimes a bit of comedic timing can turn daily challenges into memorable moments. Whether you’re navigating toddler temper tantrums or the delicate diplomacy of teenage dialogue, Michael’s insights will equip you to lead with love and laughter.

This episode is packed with laughs, learning, and a little bit of lunacy, as we explore how to make fatherhood the best kind of improv game where everyone—kids, dads, even moms—gets to shine.

Tune in as we discover that the script for the perfect dad doesn’t exist, but with a bit of improv, every day can be a candid masterpiece of fatherhood!
