Our the third episode of Daddious I get a chance to talk to Richard Laskey who is the sales director of Modern Athlete, founder of DAD, Dad Assisting Dads, and possibly the most important thing, a dad to three girls. Richard is an accomplished athlete taking on some of the most gruelling events in South Africa... dressed as a cow. Over the course of more than a decade, both Richard and his team are set to have raised over R50 Million whilst doing in the most aspiring and entertaining ways possible. Richard is no stranger to challenges but these extend well beyond the realms of competition and sport with the sudden loss of his wife due to a rare form of cancer being his hardest hill to climb. He shares with us the shifts in roles, identities and challenges with becoming the sole parent to three young children and his own journey to rock bottom where he was literally fighting for his life. This candid and brave discussion is something which solidifies, even more, the reason why spaces like Daddious not only should but must exist. We get a chance to learn and explore ever more deeply the nature of fatherhood and the human journey. I would like to thank Richard for this brave and open discussion where we honestly laughed way more than we wanted to cry. It has been an honour to see the incredible work he is doing which is why if you want to find out more about his work both in the fundraising or in his own organisation, DAD, a space where fathers who have lost a partner can connect, then feel free to have a look at Richard's socials below: https://www.instagram.com/richardlaskey/?hl=en (Instagram) https://mobile.twitter.com/richlask (Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/richard.laskey.7 (Facebook) If you would like to join the Daddious Facebook group then reach out to us down here! https://www.facebook.com/groups/247106040806503 (Daddious Group)

In the second episode of the Daddious Show, we are going to be talking about movement. Why you should be moving more, finding your own ways of moving and setting goals to keep yourself moving. There is so much to cover but something I want to get out of the way right away is that there is no right or wrong way to get moving more which is something I feel is deeply important. I find that so often those I work with or people I have come across who would like to improve their lives through movement think that they have to commit hours every day or that they will never be able to find the time or the willpower to start moving and this is simply not true. In this episode, I look at both the science behind movement but also how varied and customisable getting more active can be. . So much of what holds us back is just the way in which we perceive a situation we find ourselves in or even in the limited choices we think we have only because we don't have more data available that, if we did, would help us unlock ways of seeing our own movement journies is a whole new light which brings about, more often than not, incredibly positive changes in all areas of our lives.

Hey, I'm Matt and I would like to welcome you to the launch of the Daddious podcast! The mission of Daddious is to create a community of supportive dads. It's a safe place to share our fatherhood experiences, our strategies to create a balanced life and a place that helps dads to be the best version of themselves for their children, partners and themselves. As you take this journey with me we will be exploring what are some of the pillars of this community namely movement, nutrition, mindset, recovery and support and look at these through the lens of fatherhood and all that the experience brings.
