THE FATHER LIFE is "The Men's Magazine for Today's Fathers." Founded in 2007, TheFatherLife.com was started by myself and a three other guys who were suprised that there were no publications to fill the gap between 'bachelor-set GQ' and 'mother-oriented parenting magazines'.

Our whole stance is that being a great dad can go hand-in-hand with being a great guy. Becoming a dad definitely changes things, but it doesn't require you to surrender yourself to a life of mini-vans and diapers. You can still have ambitions, interests, and good taste.

TheFatherLife.com is the only men's magazine geared toward fathers; a magazine for guys who work hard, play hard, and father hard! All content is released weekly, is web-based and free, and can be found at www.thefatherlife.com

On FastCompany, I'm particularly interested in talking more about the emergence of online media (especially 'online magazines') as well as the emergence of a 'dad demographic.' The face of fatherhood is changing radically as guys are both more involved with their kids and families than ever before - and are still remaining very ambitious in their personal pursuits.  I also love to talk branding, word-of-mouth marketing, and emerging trends. I'm happy to be part of the FastCompany community!

A. The success of sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Google came from their culture. The idea was sound, sure, but the culture of each of those founders/businesses is what allowed them to succeed....

A. [My response below clearly went to the wrong "Fast Talk" (although I swear I posted it in the correct one; odd). Apologies!] In response to the 'attributes' question? Yes, I think they do...

A. Branding isn't overrated --- it's overanalyzed (which, ironically, is what I'm doing here). It should be an organic "thing" that emerges out of having an intelligent, authentic business. If you...
