Summary

Are we facing a fatherhood crisis? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis and Role Mate to Soul Mate, unpacks the hidden struggles of modern fatherhood, the life-altering impact of dad deprivation, and why boys are falling behind in nearly every metric. He explains The Father’s Catch-22—how men learn to love their families by being away from them—and reveals why the very qualities that make men successful at work often make them struggle at home. From boundary-setting differences between moms and dads to the single greatest predictor of success in life (spoiler: it’s not intelligence), this episode is packed with paradigm-shifting insights. Ginny Yurich shares how Farrell’s research changed her view on marriage, divorce, parenting, and the overlooked power of dads. This is one of the most profound conversations on family and fatherhood you’ll ever hear. 🔹 The real reason women file for divorce 69% of the time 🔹 Why dads are not disposable—how they shape emotional intelligence, success, and even telomere length 🔹 The shocking truth behind the "multi-option woman" and the "no-option man" 🔹 70 ways children benefit from active father involvement 🔹 Why sustaining love is not biologically natural—and how to fix it This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about fathers, families, and the future of our children. ** Get your copy of The Boy Crisis here Get your copy of Role Mate to Soul Mate here Learn more about Dr. Warren Farrell here ** GET YOUR TICKETS TO THE 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE REALLY VERY CRUNCHY TOUR HERE!!
