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.
