We are joined by Dr Anna Machin - evolutionary anthropologist, author and one of the leading voices on modern fatherhood. Anna’s work explores the biology, anthropology and emotional realities of being a dad, and how men’s brains, hormones and identities change when they become fathers. We often call her the godmother of dads - because few people have done more to understand, advocate for and humanise the role of fathers in the modern world. Anna is currently writing her next book on fatherhood, and in this conversation we explore what science and evolution can teach us about the essential role of dads today.

Peloton star coach Ben Aldis has built a career on strength, discipline and momentum. But becoming a dad has asked something very different of him. In this conversation, Ben reflects on the man he became through his relationship with his own father, and the man he is becoming now he’s a dad himself. We talk identity, pressure, purpose - and how fatherhood reshapes what “strong” really means. It’s a story about legacy. About choosing the kind of man your children get to grow up with. And about learning that the hardest work often begins when the training ends. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
What if adventure didn’t disappear when you became a parent… it just changed shape? In this episode, Lawrence and Mat sit down with world-renowned author and performance scientist Alex Hutchinson to explore how curiosity, motivation and endurance really work - not just in athletes, but in everyday life as parents. Alex’s work shows us that growth isn’t only about physical limits or epic expeditions. It’s about how the mind and body work together to keep us engaged with life, even in the small, ordinary moments. We talk about: Why curiosity is a survival skill for modern parents How endurance is as mental as it is physical Reframing “adventure” for the school run years Staying motivated when life feels repetitive Raising kids who are explorers - by becoming one ourselves This is a conversation about becoming better dads by staying awake to life. Not escaping it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
When kids arrive, the relationship doesn’t disappear - it just gets pushed to the edges of life. Between sleepless nights, work stress, logistics and constant responsibility… it can feel like there’s no space left for “us”. In this episode, Lawrence and Mat sit down with therapist and author Eli Weinstein, to explore what really happens to a relationship in the parenting years - and how couples can stay connected through it. We talk about: The identity shift from partners to co-parents Why resentment quietly builds (and how to spot it early) Communication when both people feel stretched and exhausted Intimacy, teamwork, and emotional connection after kids Practical tools to strengthen your relationship without adding pressure or guilt This conversation is honest, compassionate, and deeply real - especially for parents who still want to be great partners, not just great caregivers.
