S1 E21 – The Good Enough Dad with Matt Formston – Shaping behaviour is key to raising successful kids

Matt Formston is not the kind of man you say no to. From a young age he was told he couldn’t do things – like rugby or surfing – because he lost 95 % of his vision when he was five. But ever since that age being told “no” has never stopped him. He’s been a professional surfer and cyclist, and today is an executive coach. Matt talks to Maggie about how he’s raising his kids to be experts in behaviour, and why that’s setting them up for life.

And just a caution: Explicit

Matt’s film The Blind Sea was released in 2024 and his book is Surfing in the Dark
