At the Future of Fatherhood summit, hosted by Moms First and Equimundo, we sat down with a handful of thoughtful people — some dads, some researchers, some both — to ask:
What’s really going on with modern fatherhood?
What emerged was a deeply human, sometimes sobering, often hopeful set of insights. You’ll hear from:
Joe Gonzales (Brooklyn Stroll Club) on the hunger for community and the quiet relief of shared vulnerability
Brian Heilman (Movember) on why big cultural shifts start with simple questions like “What’s your kid into this week?”
Dr. Taveeshi Gupta (Equimundo) on new national data showing that dads are ready to vote for care policies — they just haven’t been asked
Chris Hook (Kent, OH) on male loneliness, mental health, and the slow erosion of civic life
This isn’t just about parenting.
It’s about caregiving, gender, culture, and power — and how we create systems that actually support families. All families.
Watch the full conversation and if something resonates, share this with someone who needs to hear it.
