Summary

This week, something unique in the ManTalks podcast's history! Shortly after my son was born, Ian MacKenzie over at The Mythic Masculine proposed we switch chairs; he'd come on the show and interview ME on my recent entry into fatherhood. We cover what it's been like so far, what I've learned, what led me and my wife to the decision of having a child, and much, much more. If you're a new parent or know someone who's "parent-curious", share this one! Ian MacKenzie is a visionary filmmaker and writer who lives on the Salish Sea with his young son. He is the founder of The Mythic Masculine podcast, which features conversations on mythology, culture, and emerging masculinities. For over 10 years, he’s been tracking the global emergence of new culture. From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists, and activists who have been working toward planetary system change. Ian is best known for his films Sacred Economics, Lost Nation Road, Amplify Her, Dear Guardians, and Occupy Love (directed by Velcrow Ripper), and the forthcoming Love School. You can explore most of his films, essays, and talks on his official website.

0:00.0	Welcome to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Beaton. And joining me today is Ian McKenzie.
0:15.7	Today is going to be a little bit different in the sense that Ian is going to be interviewing me.
0:20.3	And Ian reached out recently
0:22.0	to see if I'd be interested in being on the other side of the microphone for my own show
0:27.9	and really having a conversation about fatherhood, my journey into fatherhood, what it's been
0:35.1	like for me so far. The challenge is, you know, what brought me to
0:39.0	the decision of being able to, to wanting to move into the space of being a father, and especially
0:43.9	in a time of chaos and pandemic and crisis within our world. And so I've known Ian for a number
0:52.2	of years. He is a filmmaker. He's a writer who lives
0:55.7	on the Salish Sea. And for over 10 years, he's been tracking the global emergence of new
1:00.6	culture. From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall Street, he has sought and
1:06.7	amplify the voices of visionaries, artists, and activists who have been working towards
1:12.3	planetary system change. He's best known for his films, Sacred Economics, Lost Nation Roads,
1:19.8	amplify her and occupy love. He is also the founder of the Mystic Masculine podcast. So he is no, no stranger to narratives to putting together a good
1:33.4	story. And so I thought it'd be an interesting opportunity for some of you that have had a lot of
1:39.3	questions about my, my journey into fatherhood and what it's been like for me, what challenges have come up and
1:45.4	just an opportunity to sort of pull back the curtain and talk a little bit more about my
1:51.1	experience into parenthood, into fatherhood. So if you know of someone that you think would
1:56.8	benefit from this conversation, please do share this episode. Oh, and by the way, don't forget to go
2:02.1	leave a rating and review. It goes a long way into ranking the show and helping us get onto the
2:07.1	phones and ears of the people. And if you know of people that you think would enjoy some of these
2:11.2	conversations, the best way for this podcast, for this message, for the conversations that I have week in and week out
	...
