The Hustler Files Ep 54
THE NURTURING FATHERS PROGRAM
Rewind 25 years, and for most men, their parenting role was that of bread winner and disciplinarian, like their father before them, and so on. Mark Perlman, a licensed social worker, and councilor saw an opportunity to change that dynamic while the Executive Director of his wife’s counseling center. As Mark so aptly puts it, “I started writing a program that would offer fathers a workbook guide, but as I wrote the program, I felt as if the subject matter was coming through me, rather than from me’. Mark’s program, and soon to be passed on to one of Mark’s sons, Corey, is being facilitated through counseling agencies, the military, social work curriculums and behind the walls of minimum, medium or maximum prisons, across the United States. Mark’s program takes the voluntary participants on a journey from understanding the roots of their own upbringing to developing attitudes and skills that will ultimately, over the course of the program’s 13 weeks, heal their father wound and change the trajectory of their relationship with their children.

Western Mass Business Show on 3.16.24 — Andre Boulay from A2Z
In The Western Mass. Business Show
Join us as we welcome Andre Boulay to the show. Many know him from his A2Z fame while others may know him as a Yo-Yo champion. Growing up in the Hilltowns of the 413, Andre always saw Northampton as the place to be. It led him to the store and to Jack and Priscilla Finn who started the store many years before it moved to King Street in Thornes Market. There he and his wife Dev realized that their passion could become a reality and they purchased the store from the Finn’s. Now 2 businesses yoyoexpert.com and
a2zscience.com they are going strong. Pierce and Ella (their 2 kids) are the envy of other children I’m sure but the Boulays make sure to keep community in their focus as they give back to many nonprofits and school PTO fundraisers. Thank you for coming on Andre, we missed you Dev.
