PLEASE SHAREšExcited to announce a project Iām working on thatās really close to my heart - Game Well 2024: Your Family & Video Games, an online summit happening on October 25 & 26. And it's with my BFF & podcast cohost, Ebo Kwabena Blankson.
As a life & parent coach, I know how confusing it can be to navigate the world of gaming and screen time with your kids. This summit is all about debunking myths around gaming (no, it doesnāt have to be a bad thing!) and giving parents the tools they need to create a healthy, balanced relationship with video games in their home.
And the best part? Itās FREE and packed with advice and lessons from 20+ world-renowned experts from the likes of Harvard, LEGO, Blizzard, Roblox, and more.
If youāve ever had questions about how to make gaming a positive part of your familyās life, this is for you. Iād love for you to join us - and if you think it might be helpful for others, please share this post and help spread the word. š
Thank you all so much for your support! It means the world to me. ā¤ļø

[Just in time for your commute] I am super excited to announce a project Iāve been working on with one of my best friends! Please read the description below and hit the follow button! This ādad podā gives Bobo and I the opportunity to workout/flex our āparenting musclesā everyday, and I think our messages will resonate with a LOT of dads.
And... Moms! We would love for you to listen, too. And then you can share with your other half. Spoiler, we interview Moms for the podcast every few episodes (so they can keep us straight). š
Dare to Dad is a podcast dedicated to helping fathers ālevel upā their parenting. It was created by life and parent coach Dr. Lester Clowes and adolescent medicine pediatrician Dr. Bobo Blankson. Armed with years of professional experience, practical tools, and personal stories (5 daughters between the two of them), Clowes and Blankson ādareā dads to be the best versions of themselves in a world that seems to expect them to settle for less. Nope, not these dads. And NOT you. Leveling up fatherhood, one conversation at a time!

I'm doing research on the topic of "work + life balance" - specifically how high-performing professionals try to manage work, relationships, and parenting. I need to interview another 5-10 people and would really appreciate your help. The interviews only require about 15 minutes, and if you'd be willing to participate shoot me a DM or leave a comment below. Thanks!

How can you turn the multitude of challenges you're facing each day into opportunities? The fact remains we're going to return to some sense of normalcy later, so how can you position yourself to thrive when that time comes? Or - better yet - thrive now?
