The Dadwell Podcast shares stories about maker / artist / designer dads who are managing thriving entrepreneurial creative practices while remaining present, engaged, kick-ass fathers.
😺 Hello Hunters!
👨🏻💻 I'm the founder and host of Dadwell, a new podcast at the intersection of creativity and fatherhood.
⚡ After 20 years in the design industry, I quit my job to focus entirely on this passion project which aims to challenge assumptions and expectations of fatherhood and masculinity through in-depth interviews with men who have thriving independent, entrepreneurial creative practices and who are also deeply-engaged, kick-ass fathers.
🎙️ But you don't need to be a dad to glean valuable insights and perspectives from the show (in fact, the listenership is evenly split between genders...) So if you're creative, entrepreneurial, and a caregiver/provider of any kind—and you're struggling to reconcile these identities or just looking for a fresh take on work-life blend—please give the show a listen and let me know what you think.
👂🏻 Available everywhere including: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify
Thanks!
I've loved hearing several of the guests share creative ways to make the addition of children a "now we have a life together as a family that needs to work for all of us." Parenting doesn't need to just be a constant battle between the extremes of making it all about what the kids want (or that you feel pressure to give them) vs protecting your kid-less life.
@silentrant SAME! It's soooo easy for me to get locked into a zero-sum mentality between kids and career, when in fact, it doesn't _have_ to be that way. The show reminds me how unhelpful a scarcity mindset can be when it comes to parenting.
I've been listing to Dadwell for a while now and I find something inspiring and / or super useful in every episode. Highly recommended for dads of all stripes -- anyone who'd like a little dose of creativity and energy in their ears.
