Sometimes, what we need most is a fresh start, so we break off from our current habits to start over again. Other times, new beginnings aren’t something we ask for. Five years ago, I lost my father, and it would be impossible to exaggerate the effect it’s had on my life. Everything around me changed, and it truly was a new beginning. On the other hand, every new beginning reveals something new about the world, and even though growing up fatherless has been difficult, it’s also allowed me to see things in a unique way and realise things that would have taken me years to understand otherwise. In this talk, I’ll be talking about these insights about the world from the point of view of a fatherless kid, as well as discussing what it is we need to do to confront this growing problem which is already affecting millions.
