## Resource

In this episode, Hamza Harrak sits down with the founder of The Dad Project, Naroop Jhooti for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about modern masculinity, fatherhood, and emotional wellbeing. “The healthy way to be masculine is to be aware of your emotions.” Together, they explore some of the most pressing questions facing men today: What does it mean to be masculine? How can fathers communicate more effectively with their children? And how can men navigate vulnerability, openness, and emotional expression without fear of judgement? Drawing on the work of The Dad Project, this conversation examines the challenges and rewards of fatherhood, offering practical insights, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on the role men play within their families and communities.
