4 Simple Ways to Be a Mindful Listening Parent. Artwork

365 Dad with Odeani McBean

I used to be a dad who struggled to achieve his personal goals because fatherhood felt too chaotic. I've endured a 3-year custody battle, financial hardships, failed relationships, felt unseen, under-appreciated, and isolated as a dad. At my lowest, I discovered practices that, amidst all the chaos, helped me stay grounded, achieve my goals, and strengthen my bond with my children. Now, I’m proud to say my name is Odeani McBean; I'm an entrepreneur, devoted father of two, and I help millennial dads achieve their aspirations while navigating the complexities of fatherhood and societal pressures.

The 365 Dad Podcast is here to help you reframe how you view and handle fatherhood adversity, while reaching your true potential as dad and as a man. Here you can access the power of your higher self, mindfulness, self-reflection, personal development, strengthened relationships, and a solid community of like-minded dads.

Join me every Monday morning to start prioritizing yourself and cultivate a more conscious, intentional journey in fatherhood.
