In this episode, Tyler McAdams sits down with Dan Bartolomeo, creator of Get After It Dads, for a real conversation about the responsibility and leadership that comes with fatherhood.

Dan built his platform around a simple but powerful message: being a good dad is one of the most important — and most underestimated — jobs a man will ever have.

Together, Tyler and Dan talk about:

• Why so many fathers struggle silently
• The pressure men feel to provide, lead, and stay strong for their families
• How divorce, separation, and life setbacks can challenge a man’s identity
• What it really means to “get after it” as a father every single day

They also dive into the mindset shifts fathers need to stay present for their children, even during the hardest seasons of life.

This conversation is a reminder that fatherhood isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, doing the work, and becoming the man your kids need you to be.

If you’re a father going through a difficult season and want to regain clarity, discipline, and purpose, Tyler created the 7-Day Father Reset to help dads rebuild from the inside out.

When pressure hits… who actually takes the wheel?

Is it you? Or your stress, your past, your emotions, your fear?

In this episode, I break down what really drives most men — especially single fathers — and why so many of us live reactive instead of intentional.

I share parts of my own journey through divorce, financial stress, rebuilding my identity, and realizing I wasn’t driving… I was surviving.

I talk about:

• The reaction loop that steals your leadership • The five things that hijack control • Why your kids experience your nervous system — not your story • How to take the wheel back with discipline, not motivation

If you’ve felt off track, reactive, or emotionally stretched thin… this episode is for you.

Your kids don’t need a perfect father. They need a father who’s driving.

Be the hero to your children’s stories.

Most fathers don’t lose connection with their kids because they don’t care. They lose it because they’re overwhelmed, stressed, and reacting on autopilot.

In this episode, we talk about emotional regulation—the skill no one taught us, but every child depends on.

You’ll learn:

• Why your child’s emotions are directly influenced by your nervous system
• How unregulated stress shows up as anger, shutdown, or distance at home
• Why calm is not weakness, it’s leadership
• Simple tools fathers can use to pause, reset, and respond instead of react

If you’ve ever raised your voice and regretted it… If you’ve ever felt guilty after losing your cool… If you’re trying to be a strong father while carrying everything alone…

This episode is for you.

Because your kids don’t need a perfect dad. They need a present, regulated, emotionally strong one.

🎯 Take Action: The next time you feel yourself reacting, pause first. Regulate yourself. Then lead.

As fathers, we want to be more than providers, we want to be the place our children run to when life gets heavy. But what does it really mean to be a “safe person”?

In this episode, we unpack the power of being a safe father — someone whose presence brings peace, whose words bring encouragement, and whose love is unconditional. We’ll talk about:

• 🔹 The difference between being a strong father and being a safe father
• 🔹 How your reactions shape whether your kids open up or shut down
• 🔹 The simple ways to create a home where your kids feel truly seen and heard
• 🔹 Why being safe doesn’t mean being “soft” — it means being steady
• 🔹 Practical daily habits that help your kids know: “I can always go to Dad.”

Whether you grew up with a safe father or not, you have the chance to change the story for your children. This conversation will help you step into that role and leave a legacy of trust, presence, and love.

💡 Because the greatest gift you can give your kids isn’t perfection — it’s safety.

In today's episode, I discuss ways to release the Mental pressure of men and our everyday struggles. I firmly believe it is important to discuss the topic in regards to mental health as its such an epidemic in today's society. Too many men and fathers are taking their lives because they do not know how to cope with daily pressures and challenges of everyday life. My mission is to help spread the word of importance to discuss your struggles as well as believe that you are enough!

Stay positive, keep growing, keep fighting and remember to be the Hero to your children's stories!

Today's episode I discuss ways to becoming a Man of Purpose and a Father with Purpose. It's essential to have an impact not only on your family but also your community. A Man of purpose is someone who has a clear, meaningful goal or mission in life, actively pursuing it with intention and dedication, often involving contributing positively to others, demonstrating strong character, and living with a sense of direction and fulfillment. My challenge to you in today's topic is to be that Man of Purpose that inspires not only your kids but the world! Make the world a better place with your story, your challenges, your resiliency!

Be the Hero to your children's story!

In this episode, we breakdown the 6 levels of Self Mastery that looks to inspire you to focus on becoming a master of self that will not only change your life but change the lives of others. I firmly believe that Self mastery is something that is so important as a man and Father to teach our children how to do the same. If you practice and preach it yourself, they will then catch on and have an easier time with doing it themselves as they become adults! Be the hero to your children's stories!
