Back in January I received the following email:
“Hi Randy,
Greetings from the Windy City.
By brief way of introduction, I have been an outspoken advocate for father involvement the past 26 years. I also lead the Special Fathers Network (a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs) and host the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, with nearly 300 weekly episodes.
We’re looking to expand our network into your area. Would you please help put me in contact with a local dad(s), who may be willing to share his story on the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.”
I did put him in contact with a local Dad whose thoughts were so meaningful I decided it was important to share them with you. When you have a little time on your hands, I hope you choose to listen to this two-part podcast and that like I have, you will find it well worth listening to.
My thanks to Keith Harris and David Hirsch for sharing their thoughts and stories. My thanks to all of our Special Olympics Dads, who too, always seem to look for the good.
There are different ways to listen to the podcast episodes. Listen to Part 1 here and listen to Part 2 here. Once you click the link, click the yellow play button at the top of the webpage to listen to each episode. You can also listen to the Part 1 and Part 2 podcast episodes on the Apple Podcasts app. Once you are in the Apple Podcasts app, search for Dad to Dad Podcast, click on the Dad to Dad Podcast show, and listen to the March 15 episode followed by the March 22 episode.
