It’s late. My whole house is asleep. And I’m here recording this because some of you still think I’m pitching theory or just trying to sell you a coaching program.

Wrong.

This vlog is real. It’s raw. And it’s from the trenches of fatherhood, business, marriage, and manhood. Today I could barely get out of bed. Apocalyptic dreams. Exhaustion. No energy. But I still crushed the day—because my standards don’t give a damn about how I f...

🔥 STOP Playing Small. START Leading Like a Man. 🔥

There’s a version of you that haunts your thoughts… The strong, confident, relentless father. The husband who leads with certainty. The man who walks into a room and owns it.

HE’S REAL. But he’s waiting on YOU to show the hell up.

In this raw, no-BS vlog, I’m calling out every dad who’s tired of feeling stuck in the same cycle… The cycle of excuses, avoidance, and average.

You say...

You feel like a shell of the man you used to be. Your body’s gone soft. Your fire’s gone cold. Your confidence? Flatlined.

But here’s the truth: confidence isn’t something you find... it’s something you rebuild—one micro win at a time.

In this raw, unfiltered message, I rip the bandaid off the bullsh*t narrative that success = confidence. It doesn’t. Not unless you keep your word to yourself. That’s the real secret. That’s the real...

I Feel Stuck" – Why Almost Every Dad Says This (And What To Do About It)

Almost every dad I talk to says the same thing when I ask, “Where are you stuck?” The answer: “I feel stuck.” Not just stuck in life—but stuck in identity, purpose, discipline, direction.

Paul said it best:

“I used to be a disciplined man... a police officer, in the military, I had a purpose. But now… I’m just surviving.”

Brother, I’ve been there. That fire ...

Today, I’m breaking down one of the most powerful lessons a man can learn: FAIL FASTER. Whether you're building a business, leading your family, or trying to shed the damn dad bod—you’re gonna fall flat on your face. GOOD. That means you’re in the arena.

In this episode, I talk real about a business decision I had to make and how failing fast saved me. Then I tie it back to what truly matters—you showing up as a better man, husband...

This isn’t some highlight reel. This isn’t surface-level fluff. This is real. Raw. Unfiltered.

Tonight, I went somewhere I’ve never gone before after 55+ vlogs and hundreds of reels. I shared a story I’m not proud of—because that’s where transformation begins. Not in the wins... but in the wake-up calls.

In this video, I break down:

👉 The story of how I lost my temper with my son 👉 Why so many dads are stuck in the Karma Cul-de-S...

Today I didn’t want to show up. I’ve got a headache so bad I can barely see straight. But guess what? It doesn’t matter.

This is Dominate Daily Dad. And that means you show up anyway. Even when it hurts. Even when you’re tired. Even when you’d rather quit.

In today’s vlog, I share a powerful realization I had during this morning’s meditation. ⚠️ It hit me like a ton of bricks: I’ve been crushing it in some areas of my life… and com...

You’re Chasing the WRONG Damn Thing. Here’s the Wake Up Call You’ve Been Avoiding.

This video isn’t for the weak. It’s not for the guys still clinging to another 90-day shortcut, another $7 ebook, or the lie that success is supposed to feel good.

This is a gut check. You’re chasing shiny-ass distractions while dropping the gold brick you were meant to carry.

You don’t need another morning routine. You need to burn the damn blueprin...

You’re Still in the Pit Because You Won’t Cut the Damn Rope.”

In this raw, no BS breakdown, Paul Berens unleashes a powerful metaphor from The Dark Knight Rises when Bruce Wayne finally escapes the pit by doing ONE thing

That rope? That’s your comfort zone That’s your backup plan That’s your excuses, bad habits, toxic relationships, and victim mindset

This ain't your feel-good, soft-on-the-edges motivational video. This is a wake-up call for every man sleepwalking through life, pretending he's “doing enough.”

📉 You're tired? So am I. 📉 You’re stuck? No, brother—you’re comfortable. 📉 You say you wanna change? Then STOP negotiating with your standards like they’re optional.

Today, I’m breaking down the truth about pressure: It doesn’t build character—it reveals it.

You're Not Burnt Out… You're Just Lacking INTENTION

Most dads don’t need another podcast, book, or motivational quote. They need to wake the hell up and start living with INTENTION.

In this episode, I break down the hard truth that most men avoid: 👉 You're not overwhelmed because life’s too busy... 👉 You’re overwhelmed because you’re on autopilot. Checking boxes. Going through the motions. No fire. No purpose. No damn plan.

Tonight, I watched something on the golf course that pissed me off.

Grown-ass men micromanaging every shot their sons took… fixing their grip, adjusting their stance, telling them what club to use, like their kids were made of glass.

Not me. I let my sons fail. I let them problem-solve. Because I’m not raising boys… I’m raising LEADERS.

This video is for the fathers who are finally waking up to the truth: You’re not here to protect...

This is episode 50. And I’m not here to celebrate — I’m here to TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

Motivation isn’t the answer. Your feelings? They’re lying to you. And no one’s coming to save you.

This episode is for the man who’s stuck in his head. The dad who’s showing up half-hearted. The husband questioning his own fire. The businessman on the verge of quitting.

THE PAINFUL PROBLEM: You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Undisciplined.

There’s a moment every man faces… You’re sitting in silence, looking at your life — your marriage, your body, your energy, your drive — and something just feels off.

You tell yourself: “I’m exhausted.” “I’m not motivated.” “My wife’s not interested anymore.” “I don’t have time.” “I don’t know what’s wrong.”

Brother… I’ve been there.

This might be the most important video I've ever made—and if you're a man, a father, a leader in any capacity... you NEED to hear this.

I filmed this raw, unedited, drenched in sweat, straight off the trail after a brutal ruck-run with my weight vest. I didn’t stop to cool off. I didn’t grab water. I sat my ass down and hit record—because the fire inside of me couldn’t wait.

Are you living a lie?

This episode is a call-out and a call up for every man wearing a mask, pretending everything is “fine” while silently suffocating inside.

You’ve convinced yourself of an identity that isn’t even real — built on stories, excuses, and bullshit beliefs passed down from weak men and broken systems. From “happy wife, happy life” to the “dad bod is normal” narrative, you’ve settled for a version of yourself that is ...

Life ain’t that complicated. YOU just made it that way.

In today’s quick fire video, I’m breaking down a raw convo I had with my wife—and how my morning meditation punched me square in the face with truth:

Keep. It. Simple.

Most dads are drowning in chaos—not because life is too hard, but because you refuse to simplify it.

You don’t need a 14-step macro calculator. You don’t need another podcast on budgeting. You don’t need to “fig...

Don’t tell me you’re a leader if you’re living a lie. Your family doesn’t need another faker… they need a fucking leader. And guess what? We’re halfway through the year—and most of you are STILL talking about the goals you said you'd already hit by now.

You said this was YOUR year. Lose the dad bod. Build the business. Fix your marriage. But here we are… and you’re still playing small. Still lying to yourself. Still pretending tomo...

Dads—you know damn well what I’m talking about.

You're negotiating with yourself every single day... Eating like trash, skipping workouts, tolerating a body you hate, staying stuck in a job that drains you, sleepwalking through your marriage— And convincing yourself "it's not that bad."

This episode exposes the lies you keep telling yourself... …and how those negotiations are costing you your confidence, your edge, and your legacy.

This Week Tried to Break Me. Here's What I Did Instead.

You ever have one of those weeks?

The kind where your mind’s at war, your energy’s shot, and you’re one bad moment away from snapping at your wife or skipping the gym for a six-pack of beer?

Yeah. That was me this week.
