Strict Fathers, Better Men? A Conversation with Kobina Hanson
Season 01 Episode 001.
In this episode of Dads Dey, Rodney Quarcoo sits down with entrepreneur and father of six, Kobina Hanson, for a deeply personal conversation about fatherhood, discipline, and the lessons passed down from one generation of men to the next.
Kobina reflects on growing up with a strict and imposing father whose tough love shaped his resilience, discipline, and outlook on life. Together, Rodney and Kobi unpack the complexities of African fatherhood — from corporal punishment and emotional distance to the evolving role of modern fathers who are trying to balance authority with empathy. Through stories of hardship, humour, and reflection, the conversation explores how fathers influence their children in ways they may not even realize.
