About this episode

Don Singleton’s story is one of survival, redemption, and fatherhood.Growing up surrounded by violence in New Orleans, Don’s life eventually led him to prison, where he became a father for the first time at just 21 years old. That moment began a journey of becoming more—not just for himself, but for his children.Now 51, Don is a father, grandfather, entrepreneur, athlete, and men’s mental health advocate. But behind the success is a man who has faced absent fatherhood, felonies, broken relationships, and now the painful reality of divorce and co-parenting.In this episode of That Dope Dad, Don opens up about his past, the influence of his mother, raising three sons, rebuilding after mistakes, and why he believes he was born to be a father.This is a conversation about redemption, presence, grace, and becoming the man your children need—even when your own story didn’t start that way.IG: Don Singletonhttps://www.instagram.com/donmega24/IG: That Dope Dadhttps://www.instagram.com/thatdopedad_podcast/ HOST: Michael Hedgecockhttps://www.instagram.com/michael_hedgecock/
