“My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it”

― Clarence Budington Kelland



Consistently within the first 10 questions a mental health professional will ask a man at a crossroad in life, is 'So tell me about your relationship with your father.' It is a key principle of developmental psychology that a man's ability to succeed in life is heavily assisted by having both a mother (or positive feminine role model) and a father (or positive masculine role model) consistently in their life through their developmental years.

Daniel is our first guest who is also the father of a previous guest, Jordan from Episode 8.

A huge motivating factor in developing this platform was to encourage men to have meaningful conversations with the key figures in their life; critically (although not exclusively) with their father figures; biological or other.

Whether through modelling or despising, we piece together the man we will become based on the men we have available to admin, or not to. Developing a strong relationship, or at least an empathetic relationship with these figures, is a key part of finding inner peace with the men we have become. 

Daniel is a bloody good dad, a loving son to his own parents, and a very interesting man on his own accord. We really enjoyed this chat, and I know you will too.
