For episode 45 of the Dad Dialogue podcast, Laurence is joined by Marty Wolner! Marty is the father to two adult children and currently the grandfather to one grandchild, soon to be two. Marty calls himself a burnout coach and has worked with many leaders helping to provide support and solutions based on neuroscience backed research. His work has extended into children within the early years space and has seen him involved with helping support early childcare workers and schools in how to best support children’s early development.

In the episode we discuss the differences Marty has observed between when he was raising his children to know watching his children raise their own children. We also dive into the world of brain science especially when it comes to the development of a child’s brain during their formative years. Within the discussion there are many possible actions points and tools that any dad listening can take away and start implementing.

Dad Dialogue is back after a nice long Christmas holiday! I hope you are all ready for the new year and looking ahead to all that 2026 will bring. Joining Laurence today is Nick Coffman. Nick is a dad to two children, soon to be three! We discuss his currently feelings about the upcoming baby and how those feelings compare to the previous arrivals. Nick hosts two podcasts and writes for a gaming and tech satirical website, Hard Drive.

As someone who spends a decent amount of time within the video game and tech world, we spend some time discussing the impact of video games and screen time on our children and possible best practices in terms of engaging with the hobbies and interests of our kids.

On today’s episode of the Dad Dialogue podcast, we have a story that is a little different to a lot of the other stories we have featured before. Today’s guest is Hans who has one adult son, with whom he has somewhat lost connection. Hans shares how his opinion on fatherhood has shifted over the years and how when he first became a dad, it was probably something he didn’t really want. It was a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy.
