In today’s episode, I break down why motivation won’t get you fit, strong, or successful. Motivation might spark you to start, but it fades fast. What actually builds muscle, burns fat, fixes marriages, grows businesses, and creates unstoppable dads is discipline, consistency, and daily habits.

Think of it like this—my kids watch Harry Potter and get fired up to grab their wands and robes for a day… then it’s gone. That’s motivatio...

Most men stay stuck because they keep negotiating with weakness, comfort, and excuses. You already know who you’re supposed to be, but you keep selling yourself out for a cheap, watered-down version of that man.

In this episode, I strip it all down and call it like it is. I talk about my own story in the fire department, how I was living out of alignment, and why choosing comfort almost destroyed me. This is about your soul, your s...

Dad, buckle up—because this one is going to sting.

Most of you treat your DOG better than your family. You’ll train Fluffy not to piss on the carpet, but you won’t train your son to be a man… or show your daughter what a real leader looks like.

I’m done watching men crumble. I’m done watching weak-ass dads hide behind excuses. And I’m damn sure done with the basement warriors who type comments about what I “should” or “shouldn’t” s...

Most dads are trapped in comfort. They say they want change, but when the mirror gets held up, they run.

In this episode, I share a raw conversation with a dad who’s been following me for years, taking in all the free content, yet still stuck. Still broke. Still disconnected. Still living in fluff. And when it came time to invest in himself? He folded.

This isn’t about money, fitness, or business it’s about TRUTH. About killing the...

Let’s get one thing straight—I’m not here to be your buddy. I’m not here to stroke your ego or coddle your emotions. I’m here to wake you up. And if that means I gotta be the villain in your soft-ass story, then so be it.

I’ve been MIA for 10 days—not because I quit, not because I’m hiding—but because I’ve been doing the damn work. Building my business. Leading my family. Stacking wins. You know, that thing called real life.

You say you’re a good man because you provide? Because you show up? Cool. But let me ask you this…

Why the hell does your soul still feel empty?

In this call, we go straight for the jugular—exposing the lie that having it all means you’re fulfilled. The house, the business, the kids, the wife… You’ve checked the boxes. So why does it feel like something’s still missing?

Here’s why: Most men numb out. Weed. Booze. Porn. Affairs. Dop...

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 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.

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...

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 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.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
