Fatherhood Field Notes Ep. 500 Richard Schaut: A Conversation With My Father, Richard Schaut
In this deeply personal and milestone 500th episode of Fatherhood Field Notes, Ned Schaut sits down with a guest unlike any other—his own father, Richard Schaut. Together, they reflect on the profound journey of fatherhood, from the chaos of raising young kids to the quieter, legacy-focused years of grandparenting. Through honest storytelling and gentle humor, they explore the simple but powerful truth that the role of a father is unconditional love.
Richard shares insights from his years as a teacher, mentor, and dad—emphasizing stability, presence, and leading by example. The two unpack generational values, family names like “Wolfgang” and “Schaut,” and what it means to raise strong, independent kids in a world full of distractions.
