Art Eddy and Ryan Hamilton talk about Ryan’s trip with Life of Dad Co-founder David Guest to the Working Families Summit: A Fatherhood Lead-Up Event at The White House. Ryan tells Art about his amazing experience at the summit.

The guys then bring Al Watts and Hogan Hilling to discuss their new book — Dads Behaving DADLY: 67 Truths, Tears and Triumphs of Modern Fatherhood. The mission of the book project was to reveal the truths, tears and triumphs of modern fatherhood we had heard for years to a public that had yet to completely change its opinion of dads as bumbling, incompetent parents.

Dads of different socio-economic backgrounds, races and family structures began sending us hundreds of stories which candidly described successes they achieved as actively, involved parents and how they felt about them. Their honest, heart-warming, and humorous stories provide an in-depth look into how fatherhood has changed over the years.

A new image of fatherhood will emerge as you read the stories Dads Behaving DADLY. No longer will you see dads as stoic, inept, incompetent, hands-off parents. You will see dads are in the trenches; changing diapers, teaching independence and sacrificing career advancement to do what it takes to be involved parents. You will learn how dads parent differently and how it provides unique benefits for their children.
