Summary
In this episode of the New School Podcast, host Matt Bank welcomes Dr. Jordan B. Goldstein, "classically" trained PHD of Philosophy but spends more time on the trails than in a library these days. They discuss the dynamics of modern fatherhood, the challenges of being a stay-at-home dad, and the importance of patience and endurance in parenting. Jordan shares his personal journey of supporting his wife's career while raising their two children, emphasizing the need for one parent to be present during the early years. The conversation touches on the realities of parenting, the mental games fathers play, and practical advice for navigating the challenges of solo parenting. Jordan's insights on communication, authority, and the importance of play in child development provide valuable takeaways for listeners.
