Being a dad is tricky, I know for the ladies listening, being a mum is tricky as well, in-fact, that's an understatement, there is no dad alive that wants your job.

It’s not about being the provider.  It’s not about the amount of time spent with your kids or even being in the same home. Rich dad, poor dad — the outcomes are the same.

I’ve been deep diving into dozens of research papers on fatherhood and this weeks podcast is a quick summary of the ...

Safe places are led, not by sof...
