Dads & Fatherhood

Fatherhood looks different today—and so do the conversations around it. These newsletters reflect what it means to parent from a dad’s perspective, with insight, humor, and reflection.


Cow We Doin' by Lou Tamposi
Cow We Doin' is a newsletter about living radically -- that is, living in a way that you're fully engaged. As described by a reader: “If scrolling social media is the information version of the most processed junk food you've ever had, [Cow We Doin'] feels like food that nourishes.”

The Unfinished Dad by Elliott Pettit
I write letters I wish I could stick in my kids’ backpacks for later. A way to write down the things I wish someone had told me sooner. They’re the notes you’d pass at the back of class. Letters from a dad, still learning.

Fatherhood 3.0 by Tony Stevens
My brother died and my marriage dissolved in the same year. Into this I became a father again. Selfish, angry, and distant—I wasn’t the dad my kids needed. But over the past 7 years I changed my life. Fatherhood 3.0 is about helping dads who have hit rock bottom climb back up again.

The Flagging Dad by Andy Carter
