This episode is a chat with Ben Pettingill, blind dad of two. When Ben was 16 he lost his eyesight overnight but he never let that hold him back and has achieved incredible things, including being a wonderful father. We have a chat on Benâs amazing outlook on life and how he never takes anything for granted, nor focuses on what he cannot change. His tale will not only blow you away but inspire you in so many ways. If you thought parenting was hard, test doing it with your eyes closed! Ben is an absolute legend and we thank him for his time.

Welcome to EP02 of Beyond the Balls. This week, hosts Jayde Couldwell and Chi Lo chat with the amazing Rob Sturrock, author of Man Raises Boy, about debunking fatherhood myths:
âYou canât help at all at the start because you canât breastfeed.ââPregnancy means a horny wife.ââYou have a kid now; welcome to no-sex land.ââYou probably wonât bond with your kid until later.ââWelcome to your new dad bod.ââTaking paternity leave is career suicide.ââYour favorite pub has burned down.ââYou canât do as good a job as Mom at parenting.âListen in to see what we think is true and what isnât.
