Dr. Baker shares the powerful origins of the organization, highlights the gaps in resources available for dads, and discusses how local communities can uplift their fathers through practical initiatives and collaboration. Tune in to experience the profound impact of fatherhood on individuals, families, and communities, and find out how you can join in making a difference in 2025 and beyond. Episode Highlights ·       [05:16] "I'm going to argue that you cannot be a great community, a great place to live unless you have a high percentage of good dads—engaged fathers." ·       [10:19] "Approximately 85% of those incarcerated today grew up in a home without a dad. Our communities are safer when we have a high percentage of good dads." ·       [12:00] "There is considerable evidence to support the fact that when fathers get involved with their child's education, kids do better in school. They go to school, their attendance improves, and they're better behaved." ·       [14:32] "Good dads are very motivated to work hard for the benefit of their families.  We have a lot of programs focused on, economic development, securing jobs, employment programs. But the reason a person gets up and goes to work, even on the day they don't feel like getting up and going to work is because they're working for someone." ·       [21:10] "If you really want to do something that's going to make a real difference in the life of someone else, this is that thing. You're not just making a difference in the life of that dad, but his family as well." Resources Sign up for the Good Dads Newsletter and never miss a podcast!

We draw metaphorical parallels between jazz improvisation and societal discourse, underscoring the importance of open communication, especially in the face of the polarizing phenomenon of cancel culture. Through a discussion on intellectual freedom, we elucidate the crucial roles of open-mindedness, courage, prudence, justice, and compassion in fostering harmonious societal ensembles. The episode underlines Dewey's emphasis on the power of art and literature in the presentation and dissemination of ideas, enabling rigorous exploration and inquiry to resonate with the masses. We highlight the transformative potential of art and literature in shaping democracy, underscoring their capacity to enhance our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world we share. We conclude the episode by acknowledging the intricate interplay between art, literature, and democracy.

Recently, I spoke with my friend Andrew Barry on The Learning Culture podcast, and we talked about all things community. If you've listened to this show for a while, you know that community is really important to me and also an area where I have a lot of experience – having sold a community in the past and then also working with Pat Flynn and SPI last year. This episode is super tactical and specific about building community and some of the pitfalls to avoid. If you're interested in community-building, I think you'll really like it. You will learn about: Uncovering the job to be done for your community. Why making it peer-to-peer instead of one way is so critical. Why making the implicit explicit is going to help you define the rules of engagement for your community. How to increase the surface area of one-on-one connections at a human level with members. What to do with rockstars and lurkers in your community. How to create spaces for people and set milestones for members. How to know when your community is coming to an end and what to do about it.
