‘I’m an ex-alcoholic, and I can help people’. Owen talks about his relationship with alcohol, the coping mechanisms, and, ultimately, overcoming addiction.

Paul talks about leaving banking to become a stay at home dad, the perils of teaching, co-parenting through a divorce, and, advice on starting your own business. I hope you enjoy.

I sit down with Rob Taylor who’s started a number of businesses, including 0114 Marketing, Plan Grow Do, and – Dads in Business. We talk about starting a business from redundancy, how having 3 boys is off-the-charts, and how Rob found himself hosting a global dad’s event at Amazon. I also ask Rob the million dollar question: Are dads our own worst enemy? I hope you enjoy.

In this episode I catch up with Leigh Spatcher, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist – or CBT – based in Northampton. Leigh shares his route to becoming a therapist, including bankruptcy and a relationship breakdown, as well as navigating being a therapist whilst also being a dad.

In this episode, Joe Young – Associate at Pinsent Masons – talks about his experience of taking 6 months Shared Parental Leave. As a high-flying litigation lawyer in The City, I wanted to find out how difficult it was for him to make this decision. How did the firm take it? What about his clients? And – most importantly – how did it go?

Hey Podcast! In this season wrap-up episode I thank everyone who’s supported the podcast, with a special shout out to my Patreon supporters. I also take as sneak-peak at Season 2, and look at the #2020FlipChallenge.

Ian Moyse joins me to talk about the impact social media and technology is having on kids. What happens when the children grow up and may not want their image online? Could we see kids suing parents for data breech?

I speak with Ade who opens up what it’s really like being a contractor, as well as having 2 boys under 2 years old. He’s got some amazing advice on how to plan as a contractor, as well as for those thinking of making the leap from permanent employment.

In this Christmas Special I’m joined by Ashley (from Episode 1) and Rowan (from Episode 6) for an un-edited hour of Dad Chat. Caveat: there are some expletives… not one for the kids!
