This is a special one for me, as I sit down face-to-face with my Father-in-Law - and editor of The Career Dad Show - Ian. 

We look at Ian’s career of teaching abroad; and what it was like leaving the UK with a young child.

I also ask Ian for his favourite Career Dad episode, how his family dynamic was so alien to me, and what it’s been like for him during lockdown as a Shielded person.

You can also watch the interview over on YouTube.
