How being a dad has changed, and why that's good.

What this episode covers

The job description for fathers has changed. Once upon a time, dads were expected to provide a paycheck, lay down the rules, and keep the garden tidy. Today, many men want more. Men want to be present, emotionally connected, and deeply involved in their children's lives. Kevin Maguire has spent years writing honestly about what happens when ambition, career success and old expectations collide with modern fatherhood. For his new book, he draws on his popular Substack and newsletter, exploring the challenges facing today's dads, the old scripts many are trying to rewrite, and why fatherhood may change men as much as it changes their children. The book is called The New Fatherhood: Why Everything They Told You About Being a Dad Is Wrong and How Embracing It Will Transform Your Life. Book website is HERE Quiz is HERE
