The Career Dad Show
Welcome to The Career Dad Show!
This podcast is all about supporting modern-day dads. Dads who work hard for a rewarding career... but not at the expense of their family. Dads who want to climb the career ladder, but also want to take the kids to school. Dads who don't want to make a choice between getting promoted, or being a parent. Work. Family. Balance.
In each episode I speak to an amazing guest and focus in on their story. Throughout the series we cover all the topics dads want to talk about: paternity leave, changing jobs, dealing with guilt, concerns about being a present father, working abroad, emigrating, insane commutes, starting a business, coping with loss, smashing down stereotypes… the list goes on.
So go ahead – give it a listen. Enjoy!

Meet Tony: he’s a croupier at a casino in Mayfair, so as you might imagine Coronavirus has hit him hard… especially when you hear what his largest gratuity was!
Tony’s also a dad… a dad who suffered with post natal depression, which caused the breakdown in his relationship.
Tony talks incredibly openly about his experiences, and how he’s working hard to rebuild a relationship with the love of his life.
