Something hasn't felt right with this show recently and after a lot of thought and consideration, I've decided to make some changes. I'll explain more on what the future holds for Be Your Own Daddy in today's short episode.

It's time we talk about one of the elephants in the room when it comes to modern health: GLP-1's. Seems like a great time because their ass is being sued for 2 billion dollars over blindness and other injuries. We'll talk about what these class of drugs are, potential benefits, why weight loss doesn't equal health, and more!

As the title suggests, winning requires the truth and tough love a lot of the time and this is part of a speech I gave at a mastermind to 80+ entrepreneurs/fitness coaches, reminding them to quit being a little bitch sometimes. While it may seem harsh, if you've been around here awhile you know it's from a good place and genuinely wanting to help. Listen in as I explain why I know this to be true and the somewhat surprising positive reception this message had to the group.

Over the weekend, I presented at a mastermind I've been a part of for years now and I wanted to share one important aspect from it with ya'll in today's episode. That is the idea of doing what's best for the mission rather than what is best for your feelings at the time. This can look like having to have a tough conversation, firing someone, or totally rebuilding your pay structure in your company. The business exists to serve the mission, not the founder. We'll look at what makes selfish decisions, how to reframe your role, and how to actually build a company mission.

If you didn't hear about the Tea app's recent leak, I have some tea to spill for you about it...

Tea suffered a major data breach, revealing users' drivers' licenses, direct messages, selfies and other sensitive information.

I want to talk about why this is such a big deal, what to do if you were impacted, and the opportunity that exists here.

I recently went through the hiring process and it was VERY DIFFERENT than when I hired my last coach with the rise of AI integrations. I had to share if you are thinking of hiring now or in the future, you don't want to limit yourself to your network or those who are local. You want the best and LinkedIn will send your job posting DIRECTLY to those who are qualified and I had around 3x the amount of qualified leads than I did my last round.

Travis Dalrymple is a leadership advisor, business strategist, and the guy people call when their team is a mess and they're too embarrassed to admit it. After nearly two decades leading teams and mentoring entrepreneurs, he wrote How To Suck As A Leader, the brutally honest (and occasionally hilarious), guide he wishes someone handed him when he first got promoted.

Travis doesn't do fluff. His work skips the corporate jargon and dives straight into the real stuff leaders deal with: imposter syndrome, bad communication, team drama, and burnout. Whether through his book, workshops, or his private community The Leadership Lab, he helps business owners stop guessing and start leading with confidence.

He's based in New Jersey, runs on strong coffee and sarcasm, and occasionally posts something useful on Instagram @travdalrymple.
