The Idea Of... Mike’s Fatherhood Manifesto

In this solo episode of The Idea Of…, Mike gets real about the heavy and beautiful struggle of fatherhood. Reflecting on his relationship with his own dad and the lessons he’s living while raising his 19-year-old son, he digs into the emotional labor fathers carry but rarely name out loud.

From the grace he gives his son, to the wounds he still feels from his own father, to the words that broke him open during his doctoral defense—this episode is about the cycles we inherit, the burdens we hold, and the intentionality required to father differently.

This episode is a wake-up and a spicy love letter for fathers to recognize that without us, the whole ship sinks.
