Josh Levs, a CNN journalist and author, advocates for increased opportunities for fathers to be present in their children's lives, particularly during the early weeks after birth. He believes that both parents, especially fathers, should have time to spend with their children. In his book "All In: How Our Work-First Culture Fails Dads," Levs addresses the need for parental leave policies that support fathers. He experienced this firsthand when he was denied extended paid leave following the birth of his son, which led him to challenge and research the issue.

Levs argues that providing choices and flexibility for families benefits not only the family unit but also society and workplaces.

He criticizes the outdated notion that men are not needed in child-rearing, stating that such beliefs harm families and negatively impact the workplace. He notes that many companies offer minimal or no paternity leave, leading to more men leaving their jobs in search of better work-life balance. This turnover can be costly for employers.
