1. ==> What My Kids Taught Me About Race, Masculinity and Becoming a Better Man
Father’s Day is the perfect time to explore how parenting transforms us, and no one tells that story quite like Rick Patterson. A former evangelical pastor and father of four adopted Black children, Rick shares how fatherhood challenged everything he thought he knew about race, masculinity and leadership. Producers can expect a compelling, courageous conversation that covers what it’s like to parent across racial lines in America, how dads can unlearn harmful messages about toughness and why vulnerability—not control—is the mark of true strength. He’s the author of “Shame Unmasked” and “The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth,” and brings bold, bridge-building insights to every interview. Rick is ideal for shows looking to go beyond surface-level Father’s Day chatter and offer something truly transformative. Contact Rick Patterson at (517) 300-2706; rpatterson@rtirguests.com
