This episode gets deep. I sit down with Kristian Moore a man who's been through the fire and somehow came out stronger.

We're talking real pain: losing his father to suicide, going through a brutal divorce, and still showing up as a single dad trying to do right by his kids.

Kristian doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the dark stuff loneliness, court battles, and rebuilding from rock bottom but he also shares how he turned all that pain into purpose.

This one's about ownership. About refusing to play victim. About finding your tribe, cutting the excuses, and transforming your lowest moments into fuel for the comeback.

If you're a dad going through it or just a man trying to level up after life hits hard this episode is for you.

What happens when life hits you with the hardest stuff autism, grief, and parenting alone and you still keep showing up?

Liam's a solo dad who didn't sign up for easy. In this episode, he drops the mask and shares what it's really like to raise a child with autism, rebuild after loss, and stay mentally afloat in a world that expects men to "man up" and stay silent.

We talk:

• How to stay sane while solo parenting

• Why vulnerability isn't weak it's survival

• The hidden power of asking for help

• Turning pain into purpose

If you've ever felt like you're carrying the whole damn world on your back this one's for you

This week, I sat down with Marc Fishman, and let me tell you this one's heavy.

Marc's a disabled dad who's been fighting a brutal uphill battle in family court. Not because he's a bad parent. Not because he did something wrong. But because the system doesn't know what to do with someone who looks different, moves different, or needs accommodations to be a great parent.

He talks about:

• Getting stonewalled when asking for basic disability accommodations

• How his rights as a dad were slowly stripped away not by evidence, but by bias

• And the emotional toll of being told you're "not capable" when you know damn well you are

Marc isn't sitting still though. He's fighting back filing appeals, speaking out, and refusing to let the system define his relationship with his kid.

This episode is about resilience, discrimination, and the raw reality of being a disabled parent in a court system that's still stuck in the past. If you've ever felt powerless, this one's for you.

Travis came on the pod and dropped real talk about what it's like getting blindsided by divorce, dragged through the family court system, and separated from the kids he lives for. He talks about the gut punch of false accusations, the legal circus, and the emotional toll it takes just trying to be a present father.

But here's the thing Travis isn't giving up. He's fighting like hell to stay in his kids' lives, and he's got a message for every dad going through it: you're not alone, and your fight matters.

This episode hits deep. Tap in.

Alright boys, buckle up. This one's raw, it's real, and it punches you right in the feels.

Today we sit down with Joey Luciano firefighter, paramedic, ex-New York club DJ, Texas business owner, and most importantly, a badass single dad. This guy has lived 10 lives already, but nothing prepared him for the mental jiu-jitsu of family court.

Joey opens up about:

• Getting steamrolled in court with a BS custody agreement

• His first lawyers who were secretly homies with the other side 😤

• Fighting for basic rights like a Thursday dinner or a 5 minute FaceTime

• How being a father gave him his life back

• And how he's flipping pain into purpose for his daughter Luciana

He's dealt with postpartum chaos, pettiness over baby shoes, pitbull drama, child support math that makes no sense, and court orders so specific they tell him which dog can breathe near his kid.

Through it all? Joey doesn't fold. He gets fit, gets focused, and builds a real relationship with his daughter one beach trip, bedtime story, and frog hunt at a time. This is a no filter guide to staying savage in a system built to break you.

If you're a dad going through the fire, this is your blueprint. If you're a mom or a lawyer, maybe listen twice.
