Episode 195 | Allan Shedlin Daddying Film Festival

On this episode we have on Allan Shedlin from Daddying Film Festival.

How I found Allan was kind cool. An account called Daddying Film Festival start following us on instagram and I noticed it was a film festival about fatherhood and encouraging people to make videos about fatherhood so I thought I’d reach out to them to see if they wanted to talk about it on the podcast!

Then I was introduced to Allan and found out he’s been an advocate for film and fatherhood his entire career, his articles have been featured in the New York Times, he’s sat on presidential forums to talk about fatherhood, and coined the term Daddying to make being a dad a verb.

For this conversation we talked about his journey with fatherhood, from being a teacher, to leading schools, conducting interviews with dads to learn about their lives, writing a book, being a dad, being a grandpa, and a lot of the life lessons he’s learned about fatherhood along the way.
