21st Century Dads: A Father's Journey to Break the Cycle of Father Absence

Many thanks to David Hirsch, author of "21st Century Dads: A Father's Journey to Break the Cycle of Father Absence" and several other books. In 1997, David conceived the Illinois Fatherhood Initiative, the country's first state-wide nonprofit fatherhood organization. He also started the Dads Honor Ride, a charity to raise awareness and resources for fatherhood.

David hosts the Special Father's Network podcast, "Dad to Dad," devoted to fathers, kids, and family, which recently aired its 300th episode. David's heartfelt mission is to help fathers be more present for their kids.

David also introduced me to Jim Elliott, who founded Diveheart.org, a nonprofit organization that teaches disabled people to scuba dive. I enjoyed interviewing Jim about Diveheart's amazing work in Episode #113 of "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

Please join me for this fascinating 28-minute interview with David Hirsch.
