With Father's Day around the corner, dads have been in the lead lately. Not only do they always have the perfect dad jokes, but they also seem to know how to do it, well, all. One father in particular blew up YouTube with his healthy tutorials on how to do common household projects and solve annoying problems.

Meet Rob Kenney. The father of two recently created a YouTube channel called Dad, how do you do it?-Dedicated to answering all the little questions of life that children generally ask their father. While everyone is welcome to watch the clips, the reason for creating the channel is more touching than you might think.

In a live interview with Chicago , Rob shared that he was one of eight children and his family collapsed when his father left in his early teens. As a result, her life goal was to have a happy family and raise "good adults."

When his children all grew up, he found himself in his early 50s wondering, "What now?" It was then that a light bulb exploded in his head. And so, with the help of her daughter, her YouTube channel - which today has nearly 1.5 million subscribers - was born on April 1, 2020.

And let's just say it was a success.

"Some of the emotional responses I received from people who don't have a father, who didn't have a relationship with their father, or who lost their father, and they said they just watched my videos in tears to be reminded, you know, their father is missing. It's amazing, "he said on the show.

He went on to say that 85% of his audience were women between the ages of 25 and 40, and it is clear why. Rob shares practical videos on everything from changing a tire, repairing a running toilet, unclogging a toilet, etc.

"I suggested the idea [of my channel] two years ago to my daughter and she said, "You have to do this! That would be wonderful! ", Did he declare. "And I just thought that I'm going to show people how to do things, but it resonates on such a different level. And I think it might even be due to quarantine because people are looking for something to feel good . "
