Káti Gapaillard explores the vital role fathers play in guiding boys into adulthood. In a world that is increasingly complex and fast-changing, boys need fathers who stay connected, set clear boundaries, and lead with both strength and warmth. Consistent, present fathers help boys develop resilience, confidence, and a healthy sense of identity as they navigate the journey toward manhood.
In this conversation, Káti is joined by Dr Arne Rubinstein, Australian Father of the Year 2025 and Founder and CEO of the Rites of Passage Institute. For more than 30 years, Arne has worked with hundreds of thousands of young people and families around the world, helping them build resilience, purpose, and deeper connection through transformative rites of passage experiences.
Together, they explore why boys need clear pathways into adulthood, the role fathers can play in guiding that transition, and how families and communities can support young people to grow into grounded, responsible men.
