048: From Poor Street Kid to Super Foster Dad with Peter Mutabazi

"I like always going against the grain… I like to be the Modern Man, that I can be a dad even when I've never been married, that I can be a dad to kids that need a dad and be an example as well."

Peter Mutabazi

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Peter Mutabazi, an author, single dad, and foster and adoptive parent who's passionate about making sure every kid is known, seen, and heard. Peter's life story is incredibly inspiring, eye-opening, and uplifting. Listen in as Peter shines a light on his experience growing up and leaving his small village in Uganda to find a life of freedom and purpose he didn't know existed.

Peter talks about the important role you can play as a foster dad, how words of affirmation can drastically change the direction of young people's lives, and his transition from a survival mentality to knowing he is worthy of excelling in life.

Whether or not you want to be a foster parent, or even a dad at all, you have so much more to give than you realize. There's someone out there looking for the knowledge, support, love, empowerment, or guidance you can provide. So, how do you intend to share that with the world?
