1. Paid Leave I: The Legislative Hurdles

It may be hard to fathom how an idea with near-universal support can encounter such legislative difficulty. But as Vermont’s recent veto illustrates, consolidating diverse opinions on how a program should be run and funded can be prohibitively difficult. Our panelists will relay their experiences on the front lines of this battle, offer contrast with other countries who have enacted paid leave, and discuss why they think success is more of a when than an if.

1. Paid Leave II: Why Dads Are Still Wary

Paid leave is more available to working fathers than ever, but taking it still conjures too many questions. Is the policy too complex? Does the money add up? Will taking leave damage your work standing or lower your earning potential? Paid leave has a long way to go before it is socially normalized, and our panelists will offer a definitive assessment of modern workplaces and gauge the reality behind the rewards.

Content creation is wide open, and so is the opportunity to interpret and portray modern fatherhood. If you’ve been told you don’t fit a particular model, that’s their problem, not yours. These dads aren’t interested in creating content that colors within the lines, because one of the best ways to distinguish your work is to be the thing they don’t expect.
