Ep 4: Paul Sullivan, Founder of the Company of Dads
Description
Paul Sullivan, a former New York Times columnist, embarked on a quest to build the leading platform for Lead Dads, challenging the traditional notion of what defines being a father and parent.
In this episode, you will learn how to:
- Embrace fatherhood by breaking free from traditional gender roles
- Discover balance in juggling work and caregiving tasks to become a modern dad
- Redefine success in parenting through a new lens of work-life integration
- Enhance your communication, teamwork, and self-care strategies for more purposeful parenting
Paul is the founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads. Its mission is to help Lead Dads feel less isolated and more confident that they have made the correct choice to take on the bulk of the parenting and family duties - or at the very least not embrace stereotypes around who does what at home.
As a Lead Dad himself, Paul understands intimately the joys, frustrations, isolation and reticence around talking about being a Lead Dad. It’s a role that is growing in numbers but is far from normalized.
Before starting The Company of Dads in 2021, Paul wrote the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times for 13 years. He also created the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine.
