Linkedin: In this episode of Dadsense, Bryan Paul, Fine, an international school teacher, and father of two sons, reflects on his journey from childhood to fatherhood, sharing how his diverse multicultural global experiences shaped his approach to being a dad.

Born in Nashville, New Hampshire, USA, he discusses growing up with a Dad who came from a Holocaust Survivor family —a bond that became even more meaningful after he became a father himself.

He shares the story of meeting his future wife in Hawaii, getting married and being parents in Shanghai and living across Asia, including Bangalore India where he and his family live now.

Bryan touches on the challenging yet fulfilling journey of parenting a son diagnosed with ADHD at an early stage. He beautifully interprets the virtues of masculinity and how it can be channeled for noble causes , how he and his wife are raising their two boys with learning inspired from Asian cultures

In this episode, Bryan traverses a diverse range of topics and takes a candid look at fatherhood, masculinity, and the lasting impact of our actions on our children
