Shownotes

From exploring the world's wildest places to navigating the adventures of fatherhood…

This week on The Pints & Ponytails Show, we're joined by the brilliant Steve Backshall!

Explorer, adventurer, wildlife presenter and dad, Steve brings a fascinating perspective on raising children in a world that looks very different from the one we grew up in.

We talk childhood adventures, risk-taking, resilience and the importance of giving our children the freedom to explore, make mistakes and discover what they're capable of.

Are we becoming so focused on protecting our children that we're forgetting to prepare them for the world?

It's a brilliant conversation about parenting, masculinity, adventure and the lessons we want to pass on to the next generation… all whilst teaching Steve a few hairstyles along the way!

A huge thank you to Steve for joining us - you can catch him on his Deadly Live UK Tour from October 22nd - November 1st...we can't recommend it enough!
