Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

Customer Reviews
The value of deep probing
I greatly appreciated my interview with Paul about my adoption, the inner experience of adoptees, and the many who experienced trauma in childhood. His questions were thoughtful, (I could tell he had already thought a great deal about these issues) and probing. I think he got the most out of me by being inquisitive and spontaneous, not rehearsed. My interview and several others I’ve listened to make for lively and enlightened listening!
Great Show for Dads
A great show for dads by a great dad. Fatherhood is a unique and amazing journey that binds Men across boarders, races and language. This show reaches fathers at all stages of fatherhood. Giving us good advice and sound direction and community.
Great resource for dads
I really enjoyed the episode from August 1st 2023 about the power of an engaged dad. So eye-opening and super hopeful for men to understand their impact in their children’s life.
