The formative years are 7 to 11. The irony? That’s when fathers are busiest climbing corporate ladders.
Jason Leong (Co-Founder of Better Dads Malaysia) has sat with thousands of men; CEOs, paupers, engineers, laborers and discovered something radical. The problem isn’t income inequality. It’s presence inequality.
And it’s destroying an entire generation of boys.
Between 2019 and now, Malaysia has seen mass stabbing, suicides on university campuses, and a prison population that’s 94% male. The through-line? Absent fathers. Not just physically, but emotionally.
The TL/DW of the episode:
→ How prosperity creates weak men (and why hard times create strong ones)
→ The one job no other man can replace you in
→ Why your son will remember the bicycle lesson at age 5 for the next 60 years
→ The exact framework to transform from corporate drone to intentional father
The solution exists. It just requires sacrifice.
