Strap in for a riveting conversation with Zack Shepherd, the dynamic founder of the Fatherhood Initiative. We kick-start our discussion celebrating their latest success - the hard-earned approval by the IRS, marking a significant landmark for the organization.
Zack walks us through the process and the doors it opens for the Fatherhood Initiative, not least of which is the ability to receive tax-deductible donations, further propelling their worthy cause.
Our conversation then turns to the core mission of the Fatherhood Initiative - fostering a culture that recognizes and values the role of fathers. Zack eloquently articulates the goals of their resource-heavy Father Figures program, designed to equip fathers and promote responsible decisions.
Equally noteworthy is their Future Fathers program, tailored for high-school and college-aged kids, underscoring the importance of positive father figures from a tender age.
Intriguingly, we also delve into the power of narratives and how they shape societal views around parenting and fatherhood.
