In this Raising Rebels episode, Joel and Tec get real about the struggle dads face when work gets their best—and family gets the leftovers. They unpack practical ways to “bring the juice” at home, set guardrails at work, budget time like money, and choose alignment over constant “balance.”

You’ll hear simple rituals (location-based reminders, the quick outfit change), culture-setting at the dinner table, and a 4-week challenge to protect a weekly family night. Watch to the end for a motivating send-off to finish each day strong.
