What Our Fathers Teach Us, For Better Or Worse | Tom Junod

À propos de cet épisode

<p>Some fathers show us who to become. Others show us who not to become.</p><p>In this Father’s Day weekend episode, Ryan looks at two very different examples of fatherhood. First, he reflects on Marcus Aurelius and the extraordinary influence of Antoninus Pius, the adopted father who taught him compassion, humility, discipline, responsibility, and how to hold power without being changed by it.</p><p>Then Ryan talks with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tom_junod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Junod</a> about the harder side of inheritance: what it means to love a father who caused pain, kept secrets, inspired fear, and still shaped the man his son became. Tom’s new book, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/in-the-days-of-my-youth-i-was-told-what-it-means-to-be-a-man-a-memoir-copy?_pos=2&amp;_sid=49735af81&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man</em></a>, is about masculinity, moral injury, family secrets, and the lifelong work of deciding which parts of your father you carry forward and which parts you refuse to repeat.</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tom_junod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tom Junod</a> is senior writer for <em>ESPN</em>, where his work has won an Emmy and the Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting.
