Our guest this week is Ray Arata, co-founder of the Better Man Movement, whose mission is "to Transform Culture Through Heart-Based Leadership." The Better Man Movement provides resources, support, and community to encourage the involvement of men in creating an inclusive culture. Through their workshops, training, and events, their programming shifts organizations from managing diversity as a necessity to leveraging differences for allyship, connection, and collaboration. We’ll hear all about Ray and his extraordinary life’s work on this Special Fathers Network Dad to Dad Podcast.Better Man Movement: www.bettermanconference.comRay’s book, “Wake Up, Man Up, Step Up: Transforming Your Wake-Up Call into Emotional Health and Happiness” - https://www.amazon.com/Wake-Man-Step-Transforming-Emotional/dp/0983943265/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=ray+arata&qid=1626969464&sr=8-Special Fathers Network - SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 500+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
