Description

In a world of constant connection, why do we feel more isolated than ever?
Join Benny and father-of-two, Roel, on a powerful episode of "A Pair of Dads" as they tackle a modern paradox: are we so focused on climbing the ladder of self-achievement that we're sacrificing the very things that make us happy?

Inspired by acts of graciousness displayed crowded trains, they dive into Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and question if our pursuit of personal success is coming at the cost of love and belonging.

This episode is a wake-up call to re-prioritize empathy and connection, challenging listeners to reconsider what truly matters in a hyper-individualistic world.
Tune in to find out if small acts of kindness can be the key to rediscovering our humanity.
