Complicated FatherhoodAuthor: Ryan Rucker
Courtside Forever is a podcast for parents swept up in the circus of everyday problems who, despite the worlds best efforts, are still dedicated to seeking intentional moments with their kids. Im your host, Ryan Rucker, and each week, I will bring you a new episode made for you. Well keep it brief for some weeks, diving into a specific topic such as Youth Sports or Paternity Leave in America. These 15-20 minute episodes will focus on overarching themes, statistics, and practical next steps parents can take. In other weeks, well extend our conversations, inviting parents in sports, business, and other industries to look at how they center parenthood in their lives and touch on our inevitable struggles while building a career, business, and future. Whether youre a dad or mom or thinking of stepping into the role someday, Courtside Forever is a podcast that aims to recenter the world were building for our kids. In 2024, The United States of America declared parenting a public health crisis, citing the way society is set up for the reason we struggle. In the document created by the US Department of Health and Services Department, Parents Under Pressure, Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy stated, Raising children is sacred work. It should matter to all of us. And the health and well-being of those who are caring for our children should matter to us as well. In 2020, I hosted and produced the 8-episode docuseries Complicated Fatherhood, where I spent each episode speaking to my biological dad to understand how his absence from my life affected my Fatherhood. Since wrapping the podcast, I knew I wanted to get back into podcasting, and Courtside Forever is a continuation of my mantra to be ever present in my daughters lives. On Courtside Forever, well have fun, get serious, tell stories, and work to focus on the only thing that matters because, as parents, weve got the best seats in the house. Lets enjoy them.
