Fatherhood, Dads Groups and Modern Masculinity

About this episode

Ash Metfield became a first-time dad and quickly realised there was nowhere honest for dads to go. No space to say this is hard, to ask for advice, or to get real support without judgment. So he built one. New Dad Life is now a growing community helping dads navigate fatherhood together.

Before that, Ash helped take JAAQ from zero to a £30 million mental health platform. He knows how to build communities around difficult conversations. He's applying all of it to a gap that's been there for years.

This episode is about what modern fatherhood actually looks like, why so many dads feel isolated, and why the way we talk to men about parenthood needs to change.
