## Resource

What do men regret most when they're dying? Not working less. Not taking fewer risks. Over and over, it's the same thing: "I wish I'd spent more time with my kids." Professor Bruce Robinson heard that enough times to do something about it. A respiratory physician and cancer researcher at UWA, Bruce founded The Fathering Project — now one of Australia's most important charities. In this episode we talk about what the evidence actually shows when fathers are truly engaged — for their kids, for their families, and for themselves. We also get into why so many men pull back, what good fathering looks like in practice, and how Bruce built a national movement out of a bedside observation. If you're a dad, know a dad, or have ever had one — this one's worth your hour.
