Next Level Dad Fitness Podcast

After a shift, I don’t want to bring exhaustion and frustration through the door with me. I’m reflecting on the difference between my lower-level self and the person I want to be—and how small choices can help me show up with more patience, presence, and connection. This is about learning to reset, choose how I respond, and be more intentional with my family.

This episode is a reminder that asking for help is strength—and showing up for your family starts with taking care of yourself.

Today I sit down with Fire Chief Adrian Dillehay to talk about fitness, leadership, faith, and serving others. We share our journeys in the fire service and explain how discipline, readiness, and helping others without expectation can transform your life.
