Summary
In this solo episode, I’m speaking directly to the men out there — especially the dads.
This is a wake-up call.
Not to be the most shredded dad on the block… but to be the present one. The disciplined one. The example your kids actually need.
You don’t need six-pack abs. But you do need to model what it looks like to take care of yourself — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because whether you realize it or not… your kids are watching. And they’re learning more from your example than your words.
In this episode, I break down:
- Why leading your family starts with leading yourself
- How fitness isn’t about vanity — it’s about vitality and presence
- What your kids are picking up just by watching you
- Why emotional leadership starts with physical discipline
- A quick message for the moms, too — and how they can inspire change in the home
This isn’t about guilt or shame. It’s about ownership.
Because you’re not just raising kids — you’re raising future adults.
And your legacy isn’t what you leave behind… it’s what you live in front of them.
