Rethinking Masculinity, Fatherhood & Growth with Ludo Gabriele

What does it truly mean to be a man today? In this episode of Daring to Dad, I sit down with Ludo Gabriele, writer, thought leader, and founder of WokeDaddy.com, to explore the complexities of masculinity, fatherhood, and personal growth.

Ludo shares his deeply personal journey and how missing his son’s first steps led him to question everything, why fatherhood changed the way he saw himself, and how his views on masculinity have evolved over the years. We dive into the challenges men face today, from societal expectations to the impact of social media, and why the conversation about men needs to move beyond extreme narratives.

This episode is raw, thought-provoking, and filled with insights that will challenge the way you think about masculinity, identity, and the power of change. Whether you're a father, a son, or someone curious about the shifting landscape of gender roles, this conversation is for you.

Topics We Cover: ✔️ The moment that changed everything for Ludo as a father ✔️ Why allowing yourself to evolve is a strength, not a weakness ✔️ Raising boys vs. raising girls—how the challenges differ ✔️ How social media shapes (and distorts) conversations about men ✔️ Moving beyond the extremes and why we need a more balanced discussion on masculinity
