The Future Is Everyone: Childless Men on International Men’s Day
-

For International Men’s Day 2026, Michael, Berenice and Sarah talk with Ben (UK-born, Sydney-based coach and speaker) and Ed Ismail (actor, writer and podcaster), who are both childless not by choice. They ask what “The Future Is Everyone” means when so much of the imagery and language around IMD centres on fatherhood. They also cover legacy and mentoring, who looks after us in later life, the pressure men carry, silent grief, and what they’re most proud of.
Meet Our GuestsBen has a technology career and now works in consulting, speaking and coaching. He and his wife Jo presented a World Childless Week webinar on grieving and moving on.
Ed Ismail is an actor, writer and podcaster from England. He uses his writing, whether poetry or plays, to explore and express his feelings about being childless not by choice. He has interviewed childless men and is keen to meet more people on their childless journey. For fun and creative inspiration, Ed interviews actors and performers of all kinds on the Don’t Think, Act!podcast, available wherever you listen to your podcasts.
