In this last episode of season two, we interview Maddock Price. Maddock is a proud dad to two energetic boys with a third child on the way next year. He lives in Avondale, Auckland, with his beautiful wife, Sophie, and works as the Head of Recruitment at Kiwibank. Raised in Te Awamutu, Maddock is proud to whakapapa to Ngāti Rangi, Te Atahaunui a Pāpārangi, and Ngāi Tahu on his mother’s side, and Wales and England on his father’s side.
Maddock still has his L plates on when it comes to being a dad but loves that he has a wife and a job that empower him to invest more time into "dad life." Along the way, he has discovered some useful strategies for coping with the many demands of being a dad but admits he’s still a long way from figuring out how to be the best dad, husband, brother, son, colleague, and friend in today’s fast-paced world.
Our conversation is a magic one where Maddock very generously shares his own personal story and also the resources and experiences that have shaped him. We speak about:
- The power of reflection for dads and how it is almost therapeutic.
- How tough it is for dual career couples – “everything is stretched”.
- The importance of carving out a third space to give yourself time to reset between the different modes that you operate.
- The role of trust between your employer and yourself.
- How being a working parent is the definition of a high pressure job.
- Giving Dads the gift of working in a flexible way. And being more innovative when it comes to childcare.
