Fatherhood - The Frontline of a New Manhood - Father Hood Podcast Episode 3

Parents At Work Podcast

In the past the ‘breadwinner’ role represented success for a lot of dads, but today things are different. Today’s dads have an opportunity to care for their families in far broader and more satisfying ways. In this podcast, The Father Hood team talk to Rob Sturrock about the changing definitions of masculinity in the modern world and how a man's approach to fatherhood is at the forefront of this societal discussion. Rob talks about how there is no one way to 'provide' for your family, contrary to long-established beliefs, and that the active participation of a father in his children's lives is not a sign of weakness or lack of success in his career. In fact, he believes that a father's ability to balance work and family in his own way is one of the most masculine things a father can do and encourages all father’s out there to find the right balance for themselves and their family. Rob's new book 'Man Raises Boy' takes a deep dive into the themes discussed in this podcast and explores a new era of fathering that balances strength and vulnerability.
