"There are millions of Dads out there who care very much about their careers and also about being hands-on, involved Dads."

They talk about steps working dads can take to increase their autonomy and freedom, for the benefit of both their careers and their families. Scott offers helpful guidance on how to approach managers about paternity leave, create a more flexible work schedule, and overcome internal fears fathers often feel about receiving backlash for putting family first.
