The Modern Dads Podcast

Every dad has a creative muscle that is aching to get flexed. For this episode of the Modern Dads Podcast, we hope you will be inspired by these dads that are sharing their love of art, music, cooking, science and more with their children. Author Mike Adamick talks about how he shares the experience of creating his books with his daughter, including his latest, Dads Book of Awesome Recipes. Children's book author Christopher Routly talks about the moment with his kids that sparked a Kickstarter campaign and the publication of his latest book, Sometimes You Need a Jellyfish.

 

 

The Parents Phrase Bookauthor Whit Honea joins again to talk about how planning for a family trip became an opportunity for himself, for his wife, and for their two boys to access different parts of their creative brains.

#34: The Modern Dad's Juggle
More than ever, fathers are caring for their children, tending to domestic chores, and providing for their family financially. In this episode of The Modern Dads Podcast, we feature a recent webinar City Dads Group organized with our friends at A Better Balance, a work and family advocacy center. Experts talk about how employer policies and legal rules interact to offer support to men as they consider starting a family, taking paternity leave, asking for a flexible schedule, and caring for sick kids.
 
The Working Dad's Survival Guide author Scott Behson discusses the stigma of  prioritizing family, and what resources are available to assist dads in becoming our own best advocates in the workplace.
 
Special thanks to our friends at The Handsome FatherDad 2.0 Summit, and Life of Dad for co-sponsoring the webinar.
