Forming Fathers

If you're a young man looking for a podcast, community, movement that speaks directly to you, knows what you're up against, and can provide guidance, then you're in the right place. My name is Zach Blodgett, I have 3 children under 30 years old, and I decided to build the movement that I couldn't find online. Young men, you are not alone and there is a path forward in life besides looking out for yourself. You can and will find purpose and meaning in fatherhood - stick around to find out how.In this inaugural episode of Forming Fathers, Robert Blodgett, also known as my father, joins me in studio (my office).Robert, father to 4 boys, talks about his journey to fatherhood, near death experience his son Garrett, and how his dad's way of living heavily impacted the way he prioritized family. We spoke about his book "Family First - Tales of a Working Father" and why it was so impactful for a dad to talk about the struggles of juggling a career and fatherhood.We felt this interview was critical to be the beginning of the podcast's life because it was an opportunity to pass the torch from father to son. In the remainder of the interview, Zach explains why he started Forming Fathers and what he plans on doing to help young men. As a father working in a hyper-growth startup, he's able to shed light on some topics that don't get talked about often and provide hope.
