Video Series

Here’s a preview of one of the upcoming videos in the full series:

What's Welcome To Fatherhood all about? The tagline is “better connected, better prepared,” but the bigger journey for us guys is moving out of the Dud Zone, into the Dad Zone, and avoiding the Dud Zones. Check out this short video of Big Idea #3 from my WTF video series to see what moving from Dude Zone to Dad Zone is all about, and how avoiding the Dud Zones is going to be your constant challenge.

WTF’s video courses will be offered starting early 2023!

Welcome To Fatherhood is finally creating the long-awaited, self-paced, and on-demand video course version of the hugely popular book. This video course guides guys through the Dude Zone to Dad Zone adventure that awaits every newly expectant Father-to-be as they accompany their pregnant partner through pregnancy, childbirth, and the first few months of adjustment after Baby is born. Each section is full of short, bite-sized videos covering a single topic, Dad Tip, or Big Idea. This course is perfect for more of you visual learners out there and brings new examples, anecdotes, and Dad Zone mapping exercises to better connect and orient each guy to the particulars of their unique circumstances. The video course is offered in three different tiers as described below.

 Tier 1

Dads who sign up for this version want “just the facts” and they will indeed get them in this WTF video course. Clear and concise, in this course David guides them through the book and follows its trajectory from pregnancy through childbirth and into the postpartum period. This option directly mirrors the book and is designed for guys who want to go through the material at their own pace in a more dynamic video format that also delves deeper into some of the central concepts with richer examples and anecdotes. Ideal for the visual learner and busy Dad-to-be who wants to get better connected to his pregnant partner and better prepared for what lies ahead, this intro tier covers all the rich material of Welcome To Fatherhood quickly and efficiently.

Tier 2

This premium option of engagement with WTF includes everything in Tier 1 but then goes beyond it by adding deeper levels of individual exploration and support. Customized Dude Zone to Dad Zone mapping exercises, multiple check-in and debriefing Zoom calls with David, and unlimited email support focuses on the specifics of each guy's individual map and trajectory to thriving in the Dad Zone. Guys who sign up for this Tier can expect to gain much greater clarity around the contours of their evolving relationship with Mama, more focused guidance and support in crafting their own journey here, and greater confidence and certainty on their preparation for and early adventures into Fatherhood.

Tier 3

This platinum option includes everything offered in the previous Tier 2 option and picks up where WTF ends by adding in a complete 6-month Dad Zone Thriving coaching arc after Baby arrives to help new Dads unpack and develop this next chapter of their lives as Fathers. Baby’s birth may be the end of the pregnancy journey, but it is also the beginning of the most important job of all – Fatherhood! The Dad Zone Thriving coaching arc meets each new Dad right where they are as they redefine their roles, relationships, and bigger overall reality to be more harmonious with their new family needs as well personally enriching and empowering. Through 12 scheduled one-on-one Zoom calls with David and weekly emails and exercises, each Dad will get the encouragement, support, and guidance they need to best position themselves for Dad Zone Thriving into Fatherhood and beyond.
