In this special episode of Father Figures, things get personal and pretty funny. Justin sits down with his four sons Noah, Luca, Ari, and Quinn for an open and honest chat about what it’s really like growing up male in today’s world.
Using Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys as their guide, they talk about the three key stages boys go through as they grow into men. The conversation dives into everything from role models and emotional intelligence to how they handle boundaries and brotherly banter.
There are plenty of laughs along the way, from stories of wrestling on the living room floor to heartfelt reflections about teachers and mentors who’ve made an impact. The boys don’t hold back when it comes to sharing their thoughts on their dad either, including whether he’s done a “pretty awesome job.” (Spoiler: they’re very diplomatic.) Quinn’s clever answer about his favourite parent is worth tuning in for alone.
It’s warm, funny, and deeply real, a look into how everyday moments of connection, correction, and simply being present can shape the next generation of men.
