2 Dads 1 Car

Welcome to 2 Dads 1 Car! In this episode, I sit down with my neighbour, Daniel Perrett, to talk about raising and building resilience in kids. As a father of two boys, he has had some experience in this area. Daniel shares his personal experiences and insights on how to help kids navigate difficult situations, bounce back from setbacks and how to raise the "future trees" of our planet. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or simply interested in learning more about raising resilient kids, this episode is for you. So, sit back, relax, and join us for a thought-provoking conversation on 2 Dads 1 Car.

In this week’s introspective episode of 2 Dads 1 Car, we speak with John Hau, a father of three children, the lead pastor of Reality Church, and a podcast host himself! In our conversation, we explore the ways in which John’s role as a leader in his church has influenced his philosophy on parenthood and faith. When discussing the impacts of religious practice on his role as a father, John emphasizes moments of conscious reflection and discernment to help guide our children towards making healthier and more meaningful connections in their lives. Finally, we end on the topic of emotionally intelligent partnership, and the importance of saving time and effort towards maintaining our relationship with our spouses in this joint journey called parenthood.

This episode rounds out with a discussion of gratitude, and learning how to appreciate and enjoy parenthood as a communal experience of mutual support and care.Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of 2 Dads 1 Car.

In our first episode of 2026, we speak with Bruce Chou, a dentist and founder of FutureDMD, a dental coaching and mentorship program. Bruce is also a happy father of a one year old son.In this introspective conversation, Bruce articulates parenthood as a great “equalizer”in one’s life whereby all parents can share and connect through similar experiences and struggles regardless of who they are as individuals. Bruce and I establish that regardless of your personality or job, what matters ultimately to our children is that we dedicate time and presence to their upbringings. Speaking as a dentist, Bruce also gives some pro tips on how to maintain the dental hygiene of our children, including the importance of flossing and breathing posture.
