Ep 83: The Moment I Realized I Had to Change
This is one of the rawest, most human episodes Dane has ever recorded. No tactics. No checklists. No surface-level motivation. Just the truth about the moment everything in his life came crashing into clarity and the man he had to confront in the mirror at age 42.
In this episode, Dane takes you behind the curtain into the version of himself he never wanted his kids to see the overworked, stressed, inconsistent, “successful but falling apart on the inside” version that so many men silently relate to. He opens up about the denial, the excuses, the quiet decline that happens when a man tells himself “It’s just a season” while his health, energy, discipline, and leadership are all slowly slipping.
What follows is the moment that broke him… and also rebuilt him. A moment where he realized his kids weren’t going to inherit the man, he wanted to be they were going to inherit the man he was every day. That realization became the spark that led to the hardest 90 days of his life, the collapse of old habits, and the emergence of a stronger, more aligned, more intentional father, husband, leader, and man.
This episode shows you what transformation actually looks like on the inside. The battle with the old identity. The resistance. The self-negotiation. The painful honesty. And ultimately, what happens when a man finally decides he’s done living below his potential and starts becoming the version of himself his family deserves.
If you’re a man who feels “off,” disconnected, tired, stuck, or like you’re living two different lives the one people see and the one you actually feel Episode 83 will hit you in the chest.
This is the episode that reminds you:
You’re not weak.
You’re not broken.
You’re just overdue.
And the man you want to become is still there waiting for you to take the first step.
