We had our conversation on the Town Common on a gorgeous day in May while adhering to the \u2018social distancing\u2019 requirements of this pandemic period.\r\n\r\nWe talk of his popping to my Franklin radar as a dad blogger when in 2018, his son in kindergarten came home with a problem due to some of his class\u2019s reaction to his fingernails being painted. Aaron set up a Twitter thread before he went to bed that night and woke up to find his phone exploding with notifications.\r\n\r\nLong story short as he made the media rounds, he got an offer to write a book about toxic masculinity. His book is now due to be published June 16\r\n\r\nWe had a great conversation \r\n - about parenting, both boys and girls, \r\n - the needs for good role models for our youth\r\n - the minimum wage workers who are the heroes in this pandemic. \r\n - the nature of work is changing and \r\n - maybe there is a silver lining in this pandemic.\r\n\r\nThe show notes include links to Aaron\u2019s Twitter profile, the Amazon book page, his book web page, and to the quote I botched during the conversation.\r\n\r\nThe recording runs about 28 minutes, so let\u2019s listen to my conversation with Aaron.\r\n-------\r\n\r\nFranklin Public Library Author Event, June 24 https://facebook.com/events/s/raising-boys-to-be-good-men-a-/2312169695751328/?ti=cl\r\n\r\nThe DaddyFiles page https://www.daddyfiles.com/\r\n\r\nThe Amazon link\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1510749411?tag=duckduckgo-ffab-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\r\n\r\nAaron\u2019s Amazon author link https://www.amazon.com/Aaron-Gouveia/e/B08127Z6JN\r\n\r\nBoston Globe article from 2018\r\nhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/10/23/this-franklin-father-has-powerful-message-anyone-who-has-issue-with-his-son-painting-his-nails/P9lPTb9IAqGtf0toIuO58K/story.html\r\n\r\nFollow Aaron on Twitter https://twitter.com/daddyfiles\r\n\r\nAnd the quote I butchered goes like this:\r\n\"Our example to our children, to our families, and to the world around us is constant. The question is not whether or not anyone is watching, the question is what are they learning as they watch.\" -- Kirk Weisler\r\n\r\n-------\r\nWe are now producing this in collaboration with Franklin.TV and Franklin Public Radio (wfpr.fm). \r\n\r\nThis podcast is my public service effort for Franklin but we can't do it alone.
