June 03, 2025 • Paul Sullivan • Season 1 • Episode 145

Interview with Ed Tilton/ President of Begin Again Institute

HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

As parents we worry about how our kids use screens, but how fathers engage with technology can either break old patterns or pass them on. Ed Tilton, president of the Begin Again Institute, works with men to heal from past trauma and stop harmful behaviors before they impact the people they love most. A husband and father himself, Ed shares powerful insights on how dads can build healthier relationships - with their kids, with tech, and with themselves. Listen in for a conversation about connection, communication, and how to stop repeating cycles you didn’t choose.
