067: The Dad Dilemma: Connection, Correction, and Consequence

What does it really mean to raise a kid... not just keep them alive, but raise them into a good human? In this episode, we sit down to unpack the tightrope walk of fatherhood: how to be emotionally connected without losing authority, how to discipline without doing damage, and how to own it when you get it wrong.

Rob opens up about raising his two kids, the lessons he's learnt from first child to second, and how gender, age, and personality all play into the way we parent. We dig into the raw moments... losing your cool, dishing out consequences, rebuilding trust and the deep responsibility that comes with teaching values, not just rules. This one’s for every bloke trying to be a better dad, or even just a better role model.
