Cooking Up Fatherhood with Roger Ma
“Enjoying meals together as a family is important. I definitely want him to grow up and remember our meals as sacred moments. I really try to carve out that time to make sure that we’re cognizant of how precious those moments are. ”
This week’s special guest on 2 Dads 1 Car is Roger Ma, a certified VIP who works as the executive chef of Boulevard Kitchen, one of Canada’s top 100 restaurants, and a father to a young son.
This food-centric episode kicks off with a discussion of how Roger navigates his career ambitions in the kitchen with his desire to be present with his son by trying to adapt rather than control his life towards spending time more meaningfully. Roger also gives insight into his experience becoming a father later in life, and the joy of having that “extra seasoning” to make fatherhood a more textured and enjoyable experience. Finally, Roger and I talk about how to maintain a creative mental space and finding personal growth as we lead busy lives as fathers, husbands, and leaders in our community.
