59 THE Rory Sutherland on not losing your marbles as a dad of twins, establishing trust and the fathers-daughter-bond

“I think we make the business of parenting disproportionally difficult - if we assume that everything is within our control.” Rory Sutherland on DADicated.com

Rory Sutherland is one of the most influential men in the advertising world, a charismatic speaker and Dad of twins. He’s the former Vice Chairman of Ogilvy Group, has served as Chair of the Judges in Cannes and is a best-selling author. He is very intelligent, fun and will get your brain and heart to fire up. Do yourself a favour and listen to this lighthearted discussion around the sheer disruption that parenting brings to an otherwise tidy, domesticated life.

The most powerful takeaways for me as a dad were:

1. It’s important in a multi-child household to keep the rules the same for everyone
2. That there are some things that parenting cannot change so there is really no upside in getting too upset about that.
3. Our job as parents is to prevent catastrophe. Simply: keep them from worst-case scenarios
