When you become a father, you lose something.
You lose your identity.
The old you—the one who could focus solely on your own goals and your own life—disappears. Instead, you step into a new role, filled with expectations, pressure, and the unknown.
I got a double dose of this loss after my ex-partner and I split when our kids were just 1 and 3. It was the most pain I’ve ever experienced. I felt cast adrift—like my future was slipping away.
“How do I do this alone? How do I be a dad?”
This question haunted me for years until I realized that every loss is also an opportunity.
What nobody tells you is that fatherhood forces you to reinvent yourself. This isn’t something we’re taught. There's no school for dads. The blueprint we often follow is the one set by our own parents, flawed and outdated as it may be.
What does it mean to be a modern dad?
It’s a harder question to answer than it seems.
The demands on dads are more complex now. We’re no longer just providers; we’re expected to be present, emotionally available, and involved in every aspect of our children’s lives. It gets even more challenging when you're separated or divorced, as I was.
Loss is the price of fatherhood. But what you gain is priceless.
In exchange for the loss of your old identity, you get to forge a new one, framed around the most noble pursuit a man can have.
I used to think divorce made me a weaker father. But after seven years of reinvention, I have become a better one—10x the dad I was before.
Now, I want to help other dads who feel adrift, who’ve lost their sense of self, and who are struggling to meet the demands of modern fatherhood.
I want to give you a new framework for fatherhood.
That’s why I’m launching a community that empowers dads to embrace the most important role of their lives—not by sacrificing themselves, but by putting their own oxygen mask on first.
This is “Fatherhood 3.0.”
Why this, why now?
This space is for dads who want more out of fatherhood—who refuse to settle for outdated stereotypes and who know there’s more to being a dad than just bringing home the bacon.
We are the generation that wants to be involved, but we also want to live fulfilling, balanced lives.
Fatherhood 3.0 is the new model for modern dads. It's about rewriting the rules and stepping into fatherhood with intention, resilience, and purpose.
I’m building a community of dads who want to rise above the pressures of modern life without losing themselves in the process.
Whether you’re a dad navigating separation or a new father struggling to find your feet, this space is for you.
Together, we’ll redefine fatherhood.
We’ll talk about how to model the behaviors we want our kids to see, how to cultivate loving relationships, and how to integrate career aspirations with being present for our families. And most importantly, we’ll figure out how to do all of this without losing sight of ourselves as individuals.
