About Mark Craven

I am a dreamer. A big dreamer. And I have full faith and absolute belief that we've been given our dreams for a purpose and that purpose unfolds as we pursue our dreams.

I've worked in Higher Education for over a decade helping students achieve their academic goals. Helping them see that their lofty dreams weren't so lofty and in fact achievable.

​Nothing has brought me more joy in my professional life than seeing people find their footing in an unsure and unfamiliar environment to achieve what they set out to do.

​In my personal life, nothing has brought me more joy than becoming a dad. I've written several books on goal attainment and dreams but my upcoming release, "Dads, Kiss Your Sons", holds powerful messages for men to become their fullest selves, openly love their little boys, and so much more.

I was terrified to become a dad because I never had a dad and had a terrible relationship with my mom. I'm so thankful I sat through that fear long enough to come out on the other side to experience a love like I truly con't explain. I want all dads to feel that. I want all sons to have their dads with them.

This week Ed and Drew talk with Rachel Minkin, a research associate at the PEW Research Centre. PEW Research Centre is a fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world.  Rachel's work included the recently published report: Parenting in America Today, which was created from a study conducted to better understand how American parents approach parenting.

In the conversation we explore the highlights of the research and talk about what it could mean for parents. We also learn more about PEW research and how the data is collected. 

The main findings of the survey offer validation for what parents are currently experiencing, but also breakdown unique differences in four key areas:

• Overall parenting experience
• Race, ethnicity and parenting
• Gender differences in parenting
• Income and parenting

If you're curious to learn what other parents feel, and if you're not alone in your experieince, this may be just what you need to hear.
