What does it really mean to be a good dad in a world that’s (finally) rethinking power, privilege, and gender? Jordan Shapiro offers a fresh framework—one that demands more than just ‘helping out’ or being ‘the fun one.’ In this episode, we talk about radical inclusivity, critical consciousness, and why patriarchal manliness needs a total rethink. Jordan doesn’t dodge the difficult stuff—he names the creepy undercurrents of the “daddy as first boyfriend” trope and unpacks why so many men feel attacked when the cultural tide changes. We cover big ideas, big shifts, and the kind of inner work modern fatherhood really requires.
