In this episode, Tony Darwall, a compliance consultant and Head of London Markets at ICS, shares his experience as a father and how he balances his career and family life. He discusses his career progression in the insurance industry and how he unexpectedly became a dad at the age of 30. Tony emphasizes the importance of being involved in parenting and breaking down gender stereotypes (Tony was the OG TW&T). He also talks about the challenges and rewards of being a blended family and the changing dynamics as his children grow older. Tony believes that organizations should recognize dads as equal partners in parenting and support their involvement. He concludes by discussing the meaning of fatherhood and the joy he finds in being a dad. The highlight for me though was the secret to the perfect risotto.
