Ever find yourself scrolling, and suddenly you’re thumb to face with someone so striking it stops you in your tracks? You click through and find that even though their content may not directly apply to you, the creator has a magnetic energy that draws you in? That’s Owen Janes, a sales professional-turned-influencer whose social media presence shares an important message of love, acceptance, and self-confidence through quirky lip-syncing and beard care tutorials. Owen joins the Modern Dadhood conversation to chat about his magnificent ginger hair, Viking-inspired beard, and positive influence on young people. Don’t duck out before Adam shares his recent "Instant Regret!"

Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket, two dads from suburban New England, are well aware the world doesn't need another podcast where guys just ramble. That self-awareness is precisely what fuels Modern Dadhood. Instead of claiming to have all the answers, they get real about the messy, rewarding, and constantly shifting landscape of fatherhood today. Each episode is built on candid, authentic, and often hilarious conversations that unpack what it means to be a parent now. They sit down with a wonderfully diverse range of voices-from famous fathers to those you'd never hear from otherwise, including stepdads, granddads, and dads-to-be. Listening in feels like pulling up a chair for an honest talk among friends, one where the challenges are met with empathy and the triumphs are genuinely celebrated. This isn't just a show for dads; it's for anyone interested in the modern dynamics of family. You'll hear stories that resonate, practical insights nestled within the laughter, and a refreshingly broad perspective on culture, education, and self-improvement through the lens of parenting. Modern Dadhood moves beyond the superficial to explore the genuine connections and personal growth at the heart of raising kids.
