The first guest of 2024 on the Dad Club Japan podcast is Adrian.

Living in Cambodia with his Japanese wife and 3 year old daughter, he runs a charity that provides quality teaching materials to native Cambodian teachers.

In this episode, Duncan and Joel grill Adrian about his charity; how it started, its aims, as well as learning about Adrians own future in Japan once his daughter reaches elementary school age.

Adrian's road to fatherhood by way of IVF was complicated but ultimately successful and he dives into that topic as well.

Finally, we hear Adrians perspective on Japan, as someone who will set down roots here sooner or later. But for now, he is a frequent visitor.

As always, thank you for listening.

Please leave us a rating!

We look forward to hearing from you on instagram!

Duncan and Joel discuss a Dads get - together (piss up) where they find out they've reached real listeners and have actually helped them!

Further promises are made to connect with Dads on Instagram at Dad Club Japan. We aim to connect with fathers here in Japan and everywhere!

As Dads we all share some similarities and discussing those things which we find challenging can be therapeutic.

Let's face it. We are not the most needy of groups out there in society, but we do experience the ups and downs in life. Who else, if not other dads, know what we're going through?

So have a listen and join the conversation, we would love to hear from you.

Joel poses a question to Duncan in this episode:

What are your values?

Joel tries to explain what he defines as 'values', and gives an example of what one of his values is. He then admits that although his value is defined, he has found recently that he is not living out his value in the way he intended.

Duncan admits there is confusion in this current generation about what we should value and who we should be valuing.

Food for thought.

Do you know your own values?
