CNN's John Berman on Why Being a Dad Feels So Hard Today

from World's Greatest Dad with Ali & Neil

John Berman joins us to talk about why modern fatherhood feels more difficult and less defined than ever. We dive into dad guilt, work-life balance, and the constant pressure to be present, successful, and emotionally available all at once. John explains why many dads feel like they’re failing even when they’re doing their best. We also dive into the lack of a clear definition of what a “good dad” actually is today. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough as a father, this conversation will hit home.
