Happy New Year

The Awesome Black Dad's Show

Happy New Years good people We made it to another year and I’m truly thankful for the blessing and lesson from 2018. I am sincerely grateful for all of you. Thank you for the feedback and continued support you are responsible for the growth of this show and more importantly my growth as well. Now I know we’ve been slacking on the content for the month of December but it’s not without good reason. For 2019 we wanted to do things a little different. Since the inception of the awesome black Dads Show we have largely interviewed fathers for their authentic stories about their challenges and successes in fatherhood. Don’t worry, we are not getting rid of that. However we are going to be adding more content that’s geared toward inspiring Dads to execute on becoming the best version of themselves. So here’s how we plan to do that: 1st. According to Henry Health a company whose goal is to make access to mental healthcare easy and convenient, removing all barriers to seeking treatment the 5 stressors for black men are: Money & finances Race & Racsim Jobs & career Health & Illness Relationships We have created themed months where our conversations will be rooted in specific topics connected but not limited to those 5 stressors. I fundamentally believe that our growth and development as better fathers is hidden in the discussions and stories based on these 5 things. In these conversations you will still get the raw stories but you will get more tips and tools that will help you become More awesome. 2nd. In an effort to engage more with you; I will begin each month with a solo opinion episode dealing with either current events, social issues, and topics relating to the theme months. After the release of the opinion episode I would like to give a listener the opportunity to be on the show to respond or debate my opinion or position. To be considered please send an email to [e-mail] with a short reaction to the opinion and why you agree or disagree. I will review each response and choose a listener to be on the show to have an awesome debate. Lastly, Because growth doesn’t happen without action we are kicking off our monthly awesome challenges today. Join the challenges to become better Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Spiritually. I hope to see all of you join us on the journey.

If you haven’t already follow us on Facebook and Instagram at awesome black dads we would also appreciate an iTunes review, it will not only help us get better but it helps us move up the charts. Thanks for listening and May your 2019 be better than what expect.
