Nicolas is the founder of Daddicted. At 40 years old, he's been running a digital media company since 2008 and is deeply involved in family life with four kids (two of his own, and two stepchildren). Nicolas consistently draws from science-backed best practices, regularly collaborating with psychologists, neuroscientists, teachers, and parenting experts. His dream? A society that celebrates parenting as a genuine success—equally valued for fathers as it is for mothers. To help make this vision a reality, he shares practical tools and real-life experiences aimed at building strong parent-child bonds and raising happy, independent, and responsible kids.
