Summary
The "Dad Bod" isn't a badge of honor — it's a lack of leadership.
In this episode, Cody McBroom breaks down exactly how to stay lean and strong as a dad, husband, and business owner without sacrificing family time or business performance.
You'll get the Non-Negotiable Framework: how to schedule training like a million-dollar-meeting, a simple nutrition strategy for business lunches and on-the-go eating, how to train for longevity (not ego), and the overlooked role stress and cortisol play in keeping fat on your frame.
If you're a busy dad who's ready to stop making excuses and start leading your body the way you lead your family and your business — this one's for you.

| 0:00.0 | if I'm fat and unhealthy and out of shape and sleep in and play video games and don't reach for |
| 0:05.5 | success and don't personally develop and don't read books and don't tell my wife she's beautiful |
| 0:09.4 | and lover in front of my daughter and all these things. Whatever your kids watch becomes the |
| 0:12.8 | norm. And so if you just follow society's norm, that becomes their norm. Look at society's norm |
| 0:18.2 | and ask yourself, do you think that's acceptable? Do you think that's the best way to live? Welcome to the Choose Hard podcast. I'm your host, Cody McBroom. I am a |
| 0:31.5 | father, husband, entrepreneur, and the founder of tailored coaching method, a world-renowned online |
| 0:36.2 | fitness and nutrition coaching company helping average people all over the world achieve above-average physiques and live |
| 0:41.4 | above-average lives. Today we are going to do that for the dads. This episode is for the |
| 0:46.9 | dads. However, I will say if you're a mom, you can probably take away some stuff from this. |
| 0:53.0 | This podcast specifically is going to be some strategies. |
| 0:56.4 | This is going to be a rapid fire straight to the point, |
| 0:58.8 | really to keep it on theme with what we're talking about today. |
| 1:01.8 | And that's how to stay lean as a dad, husband, and business owner. |
| 1:05.0 | This is the non-negotiable framework that will help you stay lean year-round |
| 1:09.1 | if you are a busy parent and specifically for the |
| 1:13.0 | dads because I'm going to set the standard for what a dad should be, what a dad should look like, |
| 1:17.7 | and the type of dad that you should be aiming to show up as. |
| 1:21.9 | Now, because this is for dads who are busy, who are husbands, who are fathers, who are business owners, who have a lot going on, we're going to get this right to the point and we're going to try to keep this pretty brief and short because you are busy. You need to know exactly what I'm going to tell you and how to implement it. And then you need to get on your way and go do the thing. on top of that, I am a dad, I am a father, I am a business |
| 1:45.4 | owner, and I am busy as well. And because of that, I would rather shoot a 30 to 40 minute |
| 1:51.6 | podcast than my normal hour plus podcast because I had the same exact thought as one of the |
| 1:58.5 | pieces of advice I'm going to give you later in this show about your workouts, which is it is better to get a 20 minute workout in than to skip entirely and not get a workout in at all. This is the mindset that we have to have with most things in life because at the end of the day, there's a lot of times where we don't have enough time and we feel like it's going to be subpar. So we just skip it and we decide, eh, we're to skip today. |
| 2:17.7 | I don't have enough time. No, you do. You have enough time. You don't have to go to the gym. You can do push-ups and air squats in your room. Do something. Be the guy that does it. That is the whole point of the podcast. And when I was getting ready for this show, I was like, man, I don't have as much time as I like. I want to be able to put more stories in here.
