J. SULLIVAN Building Community for “Lead Dads”

On April 14, the GCDS Parents Association hosted Paul J. Sullivan, founder of The Company of Dads, the first platform dedicated to creating a community for Lead Dads. Mr. Sullivan described a Lead Dad as the primary caretaker in a family. “I’m the go-to guy in my house. Playdates, doctors appointments, birthday parties, I got that.”

Mr. Sullivan talked about the struggles of Lead Dads and his motivation for creating The Company of Dads. “At times it has felt lonely because I lacked a community of other Lead Dads experiencing the same highs and lows.”
