Diary of a Dad-EO

Over the past year, I've have spoken to ALOT of dads about what to expect from fatherhood & one of the key things that always came up was the struggle of juggling fatherhood while working a full-time job (especially running a business and being a CEO).

It got me thinking about why all these conversations we've had were bound to Whatsapp instead of broadcasting it to other Dads going through the same thing looking for some form of security in the knowledge they're not alone in having these particular feelings.

So...the idea was born!

David Michael Powell, father of newborn baby boy Brodie will be chatting to fellow dads who happen to run a business about how they navigated the final few months before babies arrived and also the early stages of juggling both fatherhood and business.

We hope it helps any current dads, future dads or anyone who simply fancies a listen for some pleasure.

Together, we will UNITE the fatherhood CEO's and share a glimpse into each of our unique diaries.
