Alan Donovan, the founder of FathersLivesMatter, joins the program from Montana to discuss his advocacy work for parental rights. The two discuss their long-standing connection on Instagram and the logistical challenges of scheduling an interview across different time zones. Donovan provides background on his home state of Montana, describing it as "Big Sky Country" and noting its famous natural resources and wildlife.

Alan Donovan recounts his personal custody dispute that began in 2015, where a lack of proper legal vetting led to an initial loss in court. After discovering a total lack of support resources for fathers compared to those available for mothers, he created the FathersLivesMatter Instagram page. Donovan eventually represented himself in court, successfully securing 50-50 custody and later full custody, which inspired him to coach thousands of other fathers worldwide.
