Before Travis Stoetzel started the 'Forged Father" movement, he was an athlete.  He played college football and baseball, then went on to play a bit of professional football. 

When Travis realized he wasn't going to make a living playing football, that's when he decided to become a coach.

In 2009, Travis started a gym, The Forged Athlete and for years, he had the pleasure of training 1,000's of different men from all walks of life. 

From your day to day desk jockey to Navy SEALS and Olympic level athletes, he was an expert at getting men strong, lean, fit and "UNCOMMON".  

His journey as a “Forged Father” officially started after he became a dad.

It was 8 months after he had his first daughter when his wife told him one night that she felt “2nd best” behind everything else he was doing.

That hurt and stabbed him in the heart.

He was buried in his profession trying his best to hustle and grind for his family when the truth was, he was distracted.

His wife being “2nd best” was the truth and it scared the heck outta Travis to think about possibly losing her and his daughter.

That night lit the fire for him to become a better man.  No more was Travis going to put off taking control of his busy life.  No more was he going to talk about doing it, but was going to BECOME the man he needed to be for his family.

That’s when the “FORGED FATHER” was created.  The mission was to become a present husband, a deeply connected father, a super successful professional, all while being strong and jacked athlete.  

A man FIT TO LEAD HIS FAMILY or what Travis calls, an “UNCOMMON MAN”

What he developed is a method to bring all of these areas together that would mesh into your lifestyle.  

He’s proven this method by loving and leading the lifestyle he preaches.

Travis made it to the CrossFit Games as a Masters athlete and got 7th in the world all while being a dad, husband and business owner.

Travis and his wife have been married now for over 10 years and have 4 daughters and things have been great. He fully backs all of the success of the system he created for himself to become a Forged Father and UNCOMMON MAN.

Over this time Travis has been able to take nearly 1,000 dads through this same process helping them achieve similar results. 

Men have lost the unwanted weight and gotten themselves back into their best shape ever.  They’ve mended their marriages.  They’ve deepened their connection with their kids and they’ve leveled up and professionals.

The Forged Father is based upon what we call the” CORE 5 Daily Non-Negotiables”. Comprised of 5 daily ACTIONS that are all intentional in building an uncommon man.

The five are FITNESS, FUEL, FOCUS, FRAME, and of course, FAMILY.  As a result, men earn back and increase their FUN, FREEDOM, and FAITH in life.

This simple system Travis has broken down further into what he calls “RISE AND CONQUER” which helps him get control of his day before it actually gets started and has been his saving grace.  

It’s help him earn back his time, increase his energy, and deepen his connections in life as it has and will for 1,000’s of more dads into the future.

All in the pursuit of refusing average and becoming an UNCOMMON MAN

Kyle Carnohan is a true Super Human Father. He’s a body and mind transformation coach, dedicated firefighter, dedicated to his wife for over 20 years and truly dedicated to his 5 kids.

Kyle started Super Human Fathers as an instragram account a few years back.

Kyle was, at times, short with his kids, sarcastic with his wife and lazy around the house. He would use excuses in order to get out of being his best self.

He used the instagram to announce his shortcomings to the world. He put his true self out there for everyone to see.

He began to connect with other fathers that had the same shortcomings.

So, he reached out to coaches and gurus. He also started reading books and listened to podcasts.

Once Kyle really tapped into that true voice, his personal progress in every aspect of life began to skyrocket.

Kyle began taking full responsibility by taking massive action in the things that mattered most in his life.

As he leveled up so did his wife and kids. As did many others he came in contact with.

He had dozens of men reach out to him asking for help and guidance. They were trying to tap in, but did not know where to start.

SUPER HUMAN FATHERS was born. It started out as 20, then 50, then 100 then 200. Now they have their sights set on 1,000 before the end of the year.

It has become a brotherhood. A group of men holding each other accountable to live the no excuse, nonnegotiable life.

Kyle found a home. A team. A family.

After having his first daughter and watching his gains diminish, what he discovered was short intense workouts are just as effective, if not more so than long strenuous ones.

Kevin has made it his mission to help busy dads go from Dad Bod to Fit Dad without sacrificing family time while creating a legacy of health and fitness for their families and generations to come.

Kevin does not push gimmicks or corny motivational speeches, he simply provides honest tips, tricks, tools, and workouts for new dads with limited time on their hands.

Kevin reminds the dads he coaches that they are not alone in their journey.

There’s a community of dads out there who have either experienced or are currently experiencing what you are going through or will soon be going through.

Multi-award-winning musician Mike Whitla is the wizard mastermind behind Howdytoons, known for its heavy metal-inspired “dinosaur rock” songs and animated videos for kids.

There are now four YouTube channels under the Howdytoons brand, featuring work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Across the brand on YouTube, Howdytoons has had more than a BILLION views, with 10 million more added per month, and currently has more than a million subscribers.

 

Mike’s wife, Lisa, died by suicide in 2019, leaving him a widower with two sons, now ages 19 and 16.

Mike is trying to destigmatize suicide bereavement as well as grief stigma in general.

 

Mike’s sons are musicians and his older son, Jake, is also a composer whose work is heard on the upcoming Howdytoons album, Dinosaurs and Monsters.

 

Howdytoons content deals with an array of complex social issues such as belonging, loneliness, and loss.

Mike Whitla believes that, rather than shying away from complicated or difficult issues, kids' content should boldly address complex emotional topics to help children and families deal with challenges in a caring and truthful way.
