The Dad Strength Podcast

Having conversations with your kids about screen time generally isn’t easy, but thanks to the work of folks like Ash Brandin, those conversations can be a lot smoother and can help set a healthy foundation for how and when screens can best serve their purpose. Ash is best known as The Gamer Educator, and has spent the last 10+ years focused on incorporating gaming concepts in the classroom.

In this episode, Ash and I discuss attitudes around screen usage, some of the positives and negatives surrounding video games, how parents can model good screen usage behaviours, and (perhaps most importantly) we get a solid description of what Roblox is. 

So pick up a smartphone, laptop, or tablet and take a listen.

What is The Dad Strength Podcast?

There is no strength like dad strength. It is quiet, patient, and persistent. Some would say stubborn, dammit. Dad strength rarely makes the highlight reel. It exists in the in-between spaces....The times when nobody—except maybe your kid—is watching.

The Dad Strength Podcast was created to support and encourage the best in dads like you. Authors, entrepreneurs, artists, and experts from all over share their wisdom with us. We discuss 360º health, doing work that matters, and—of course—fatherhood. These conversations are fun, informative, and always emphasize action and understanding.

The Dad Strength Podcast is hosted by Geoff Girvitz. Geoff is a father, fitness expert, and curious fellow. Based in Toronto, he has been featured in Vice, GQ, and multiple exercise publications. He is known for innovation and real-world success in the fitness industry. Now, Geoff is pointing a wide-angle lens at health and parenthood. Workouts and nutrition are just part of the program. He will be looking at relationships, critical thinking, motivation, and discipline. In short, anything you need to earn the mug that says “*World’s Greatest Dad.”*

“I want to be Mr. Rogers for men over 30,” says Geoff. “There is so much noise and confusion out there.” We *all* need a community devoted to the best we have inside of us. The Dad Strength Podcast is here to make the world a better place through our roles as fathers and as men.
