Ron Lo: How to Wear Your Hats
“You gotta be the friend, the teacher, the coach, the mentor. You have to be all these different things because that’s what a modern dad should be.”
Hi friends! Thank you for joining us on this new episode of 2 Dads 1 Car! Our special guest today is a very good friend of mine, Ron Lo, who happened to be in town from Calgary and has been a long-time inspiration and mentor of mine as the father to two young boys, a thriving legal professional, and family man.
In this conversation, Ron and I dissect the concept of fatherhood by exploring the array of identities that are encompassed within a modern definition of what it means to be a parent. While discussing our parental identities as providers, mentors, and leaders of our children, Ron and I also explore the importance of maintaining our relationship with our children by remaining cognizant of these distinct responsibilities and how sympathetic reactions can support our children’s journey to understanding themselves. Offering a psychological perspective on the conversation, Ron also describes the importance of fostering intimacy with your partner, and consciously finding the time to be present even while working on the monumental task of raising children.
