Epic Dad Legacy

Today I've got on Ryan Michler from Order of Man.

Ryan is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the world’s most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders. It has now become his life’s mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. 

In this episode Ryan and I dive right into what it means to be a good man and a good father, and some practical things you can do today to become bolder in your beliefs and more courageous in your speech and action. 

Ryan has recently gone through some pretty severe changes in his life - including struggling with alcohol and recently going through a divorce. Ryan’s not perfect - and he doesn’t pretend to be - but he is absolutely a voice of inspiration for thousands of men and fathers out there, and humbly accepts the responsibility of continuously improving and becoming a better man.

How do we broach the topic of boys with our young girls?

Girls are going to like boys. It is completely natural, and we should encourage our girls to like the right kind of boys.

But instead, more often than not, we tease and ridicule our young heroes for something that should be encouraged.

We say things like "you can't date until you're 30" or "I'm going to meet him at the door with a shotgun".

These things may seem funny and harmless - but what impact is that having on our daughter's view on boys?

Today we dive in and tackle this head on.

Today we have on Ryan King. 

Ryan is a friend of mine that I met through the Apogee Strong Dads program - Ryan is a Dad, a business owner, and a thought leader when it comes to the traditional roles of fatherhood and masculinity. 

Ryan has garnered a lot of attention over the past year or so on social media through his handle The Wisdom of Kings - where he posts long form, thought provoking content about how we can lead our families and fully step into our role as fathers and husbands. 

This conversation was a ton of fun, with some huge takeaways - especially about how important it is to get our kids involved in sports at an early age. 

Ryan credits his experiences with competitive sports as to what has driven him to be successful in the business world, founding Guardian Payments - which has led to financial freedom for him and his family by the time he was 35. 

Guys - it’s hard to provide a preview for this conversation because we talked about so much and I had so many key takeaways. 

You are not going to want to miss this conversation - so let’s hop in with The Wisdom of Kings himself - Ryan King.

Today we’ve got on Travis Stoetzel from The Forged Father. 

Travis is a Husband, Father of 4 - soon to be 5, and Coach who specializes in helping high-achieving Ex-Athlete DADS destroy the “dad bod” and gain the edge back in their lives - but more importantly he helps dads connect deeply with their Mission, Vision, and Purpose (or their MVP) - connecting them with their “why” so that when life gets tough, as it inevitably does - dads can tap into that purpose and keep going. 

Travis’s coaching group “The Forged Father” has helped hundreds of Dads get back into shape and start showing up the way they were meant to. 

Travis is a CrossFit athlete, placing 7th overall in the world in the 2018 CrossFit games as a master’s athlete - and still competes today. 

Travis is living his life as a clear example of what is possible as a busy Dad - I mean Travis has 4 kids, with another one on the way by the way, and still manages to kick ass in every area of his life.

If you are a Dad that feels like he has lost that edge, if you are someone that used to have that competitive drive but now feel like it’s lost, and if you are a dad that feels like he doesn’t have a clear MISSION in life, tune in because this episode is for you.

Today I have on Brian Nabavi.

Brian has been in the fitness industry for 23 years and he quit his 6 figure job as the GM of sales for a franchised gym back in 2014 and took the huge risk of pursuing business/entrepreneurship.

After losing everything, he started his business, Til You Collapse Apparel, with only $300 and worked day and night until he scaled his first company from nothing to multiple 7 figures, which is now on track to hit 8 figures, with 7 employees and growing. 

Brian also helps other dads and entrepreneurs around the world get in better shape, grow their businesses and impact. 

In this episode, Brian shares with us his struggles and challenges and key takeaways as a man on a mission growing a company to support his family.

This conversation was incredible - you guys are going to want to take out a notepad and jot down some notes, or if you are driving - you might want to come back and listen to this episode.

Brian is such a great example of how you can turn a vision into a reality.

The topic of our children’s health has never been more important that it is right now. And us as Dads need to get involved.

A complicated landscape of big Pharma, profit driven companies, mis-information, dis-information, wokeness, you name it - make the topic of our kids health a tricky topic.

Should we vaccinate our kids or not, should we put our kid on ADHD medication or not, should we listen to CDC and the World Health Organization’s guidance on pediatrics or not?

It seems like you can’t trust anything right now. Since the COVID pandemic, the credibility of our medical institutions has crumbled - and things that 2 years ago were labeled as conspiracy theory are now shown as fact.

To help guide us through this important conversation - I wanted to bring on someone that I have connected with recently, and someone that I have tremendous respect for.

Dr. Stanton Hom is a prenatal and pediatric chiropractor, West Point Grad and US Army Veteran, children’s natural health advocate, owns a whole family practice in San Diego California, and host of the Future Generations Podcast. But most importantly, Stanton is a Dad.

Stanton has been one of the most outspoken critics of the CDC’s child vaccine schedule, has gotten his account banned from social media several times during the pandemic, but has refused to back down and bring light to what he believes wholeheartedly to be true.

I’m super pumped for this conversation with Stanton as we dive into how us as Dads can, and need to, take a more active role in our children’s health.

Today I have on Rod Richard from the 4 Fit Fatherhood podcast.

Rod is a former major league baseball trainer for the New York Mets, and has worked in the physical fitness and training space for all of his adult life.

But believe it or not, getting in shape is not what this episode is about.

No - when Rod had his first child he was working for the Mets as their strength and conditioning coach, and on he was the road 9 months out of the year.

Although his career path was extremely rewarding - being a road warrior was not the kind of life he knew that his new baby would need.

Since leaving the Mets, Rod has built a life with his family being priority #1, and is the host of the 4 Fit Fatherhood podcast - where he helps other dads prioritize family and have open and honest conversations about fatherhood.

Being a dad is tough - and more often than not we go at it alone - never asking questions - we just grind through the hard times.

Rod’s podcast 4 Fit fatherhood is breaking that stigma - offering a platform for us dads to get together and have those discussions - and Rod is helping thousands of men become more intentional parents.

Your PURPOSE should be different than your VISION. 

Most of the time we focus on our vision, or our outcome, but then what happens when we get there?

We have a goal that we are going after, but when we accomplish that goal - we still feel like shit?

How do we go about crafting our purpose?

Our purpose is what is going to give us fulfillment, not our vision. 

Today I give my thoughts on defining your purpose.
