What was your upbringing like? Did you have your father around growing up? Do you realise the impact on those who didn't?

In this episode of The Ethical Recruiter, Paul, Dave and Patrick chat with Dr Richard Kay, the founder of Chapter2.

He shares his own story of growing up in a loving home, and the benefits he admits he enjoyed from that experience.

He also talks about the impact that growing up fatherless can have on a young boy.

He explains how important mentoring can be for a young boy's development, and talks us through the ways we can help.

He also mentions a relevant film that's close to this topic.
