Dare to Dad

Dare to Dad is a podcast dedicated to helping fathers “level up” their parenting. It was created by life and parent coach, Dr. Lester Clowes, and adolescent medicine pediatrician, Dr. Bobo Blankson. Armed with years of professional experience, practical tools, and personal stories (5 daughters between the two of them), Clowes and Blankson “dare” dads to be the best versions of themselves in a world that seems to expect them to settle for less. Nope, not these dads. And not YOU. Leveling up fatherhood, one episode at a time!
