What Is a "Lead Dad" ...And Could I Be One? | Paul Sullivan on Fatherhood

Author: Adam Flaherty, Marc Checket February 16, 2024 Duration: 43:20
When you hear the phrase "Lead Dad," what does it make you think? A "stay at home" dad? A dad who prides himself on being the more involved parent? To Paul Sullivan, Founder of The Company of Dads, being a "Lead Dad" is much different... and many of us naturally fall into the category. Hear Paul discuss The Company of Dads' mission to inspire more men to be Lead Dads, and inspire families to experience their full potential. At the end, Marc shares a curious installment of "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?"

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.
