Parenting is messy, unpredictable, and full of lessons you never saw coming. In this episode of Continuall Conversations, we sit down with comedian, author, and dad of two, Hamish Blake, to talk about the realities of fatherhood.

From the early days of convincing yourself that life won’t change (spoiler: it does) to embracing the chaos of raising kids, Hamish shares his honest and hilarious take on parenting, partnership, and how fatherhood reshapes your identity. He opens up about navigating the early days with his firstborn, the shifts that come with baby number two, and the often-overlooked role dads play in supporting their partners through the journey.

Join us for a heartfelt and entertaining chat about expectations vs. reality, the evolving role of modern fathers, and why sometimes, being a dad means protecting the "cave" rather than leading the charge.

This is Part One of a two-part conversation – and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
