Waz and Nic sit down with the incredible Maggie Dent to explore the challenges men face in today’s world. As someone who’s passionate about helping boys transition into adulthood, Maggie has a lot to say about the misconceptions surrounding trade careers and the value men bring to fields like education and tech.
Maggie takes us through the different stages of growing up, from pages to knights to princes, and the struggles men face at each stage. She emphasises the need for flexible workplaces that support men navigating fatherhood and finding fulfillment beyond material success. It’s not just about climbing the corporate ladder anymore—it’s about creating a meaningful legacy and contributing to a greater cause.
But it’s not just about the guys. Maggie also talks into the challenges women face, like the constant self-evaluation and heavy mental load. She advocates for team parenting and letting go of the idea of being a “perfect parent.” Kids are unpredictable and messy, and that’s okay!
If you’re a parent of a teenager, you won’t want to miss Maggie’s latest book, “Help Me Help My Teen.” She provides clear advice on handling sensitive topics like technology use, sex, drugs, mental health, and identity. It’s a must-read for anyone navigating the ups and downs of raising a teenager.
Tune in for Maggie’s personal stories and practical tips on creating supportive, judgment-free environments at home and work.
