Summary
Episode #156 – After four months of fatherhood, Nick sits down with two BPN dads, Tony Reyes and Adam Klink, to talk about the powerful lessons that come from raising children. They discuss the need to reprioritize their core values since having kids. Nick comments that there are feelings of guilt around how he managed his time as a new father in the early days, and how they’re responsible for teaching their children healthy habits and being good role models.
“I’ve grown more in the last four months than I did in the past 14 years.” - Nick
You do not have to lose your identity in parenthood. There ARE ways to transition into parenting healthily. Hear how fitness can serve as a cornerstone in the life of a parent, the challenges brought upon by periods of transition, and why acceptance is essential to all phases of our lives to be more fulfilled.

| 0:27.2 | vertically integrated into my work and business as well. |
