Kevin Maguire appeared on Good Inside with Dr. Becky to discuss his work on The New Fatherhood, the popular Substack and book dedicated to navigating the complexities of modern parenting.
Dr. Becky Kennedy championed the perspective Maguire brings to the table, noting, "Kevin has the most successful, the biggest Substack on fatherhood. It's called The New Fatherhood, and now he has a book by the same name." The conversation highlighted Maguire's commitment to writing "honestly about his experience around what happens when being achievement-oriented."
The episode centered on the struggle to break generational patterns, with Maguire using sports coaching as a lens for parental behavior. Kennedy underscored the importance of this shift, as Maguire reflected on the absurdity of blaming minor infractions like timing, noting, "I pictured, before my kids got on the bus, a team with horrible sportsmanship. They taunt everyone when they're winning. They're tripping people when they're losing."
