In this installment of The Good Men Project‘s “Let’s Ask Dad” series, Ken Goldstein asks our panel to reflect on the world their children will inherit.
Our panel of writers and dads Kyle Lawrence, Will Klein, Admond Fong, Asif Ahmed, Jared Mercier, and Thomas Olona assess their fears about the future from an unhealthy dependence on technology to war and cost of education, as well as the hope and optimism that the next few generations will see more peaceful and healthy means than we have ever seen before.

In this video series, The Good Men Project’s Ken Goldstein interviewed seven dads across a spectrum of different backgrounds. They were different ages, their children were different ages–some had one child, some had several. They came from different backgrounds, income levels, commitments to faith, and hopes for the future.
What these dads have in common is a profound love for their children, deep reflection on the impact of their own fathers on their lives, humble concern about wanting to make consistently good choices for their children, and hope that their children will grow up resilient and caring in a world with unnerving obstacles at every stage of life.
“Let’s Ask Dad” is the conversation about fatherhood in the 21st century on The Good Men Project.
Ken Goldstein, The Good Men Project Board Member speaks to the experience:
“I sat in the studio and got to know each of these fine men through their detailed answers to our deceptively simple questions, I was struck by the commonality in their integrity, candor, introspection, and keen insights into the forever moments of parenting. Any single moment of a child’s development might or might not become a memory, but the memories each of these individuals recalled with resonance were as different as they were as human beings.”
Join us below in the comments, answering how you would describe your vision of the world of tomorrow, and how you think your children will be living (and what they’ll inherit from today’s turmoil and progress)—in as many sentences as you want.
Or tell us how you think your kids will survive and thrive as they get older in the world we’ve created for them.
Together, let’s have the conversation no one else is having about dads in the 21st century.
