The Dad PRJCT Podcast

Most blokes aren’t stuck because they lack motivation, they’re stuck because they keep getting in their own way. In this episode, we unpack the subtle habits, excuses, and stories you tell yourself that quietly sabotage your progress. If you’re training hard but not seeing results, starting strong then falling off, or constantly “resetting” instead of moving forward, this one’s for you. It’s time to call yourself out and start playing the long game properly.

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Staple to talk through his journey into health and fitness, the hard lessons learned along the way, and the challenges that tested him most.

We cover what truly drove him to change, the one shift that helped flip his life around, and how improving his health impacted every other area of his life.

We finish with a simple, piece of advice for anyone just starting out.

In this episode, we break down why most people train with a 4-week mindset instead of a 4-year one chasing fat loss, strength, and performance all at once and burning out in the process. You’ll learn why progress is built in seasons, not permanent peak mode, and why this approach is especially critical for busy dads who want results that actually last.

In this episode, we’re ripping into alcohol not with judgment, but with strategy.

Most dads don’t need to quit drinking… they need to stop letting it control their results. 
Today, I’m giving you the blunt, no-BS framework to enjoy a drink without blowing your calories, your sleep, your training, or your progress.

We cover the 10 rules every bloke needs:
how to set non-negotiables, how to plan your calories, how to avoid the blowout, how to choose smarter drinks, how to keep control, and how to bounce back the next morning without quitting on the whole weekend.

If you want to be a fitter, sharper, more disciplined dad not the guy who derails his fat loss every Friday this episode is your playbook.

Tune in. Take notes. Drink like a man with a mission.

The questions every dad asks but rarely says out loud. Where do I start? Can I get it back? Is it too late? This episode is about finding your edge again and becoming the man your family looks up to.

This episode cuts through the noise and gets real about what every dad feels but few talk about.
 From hiding behind the shirt on family holidays to running on caffeine and calling it “normal,” we dive into the truth about confidence, burnout, and ownership.
This one’s for the dads ready to stop surviving and start leading at home, at work, and in life.

Over the last 18 months, I’ve gone from a stressed-out, overworked dad neglecting my health and family… to being in the best physical and mental shape of my life. In this episode, I share the real story of what it took to turn things around the struggles, the turning points, and the lessons every dad can use to reclaim their health, energy, and presence at home.

In this episode, I break down my latest photoshoot prep as a dad and how it stacked up against the way I used to do things in the past. Instead of living in the gym, I got Photoshoot ready on just 3 focused sessions per week while still being present for my kids and actually enjoying life. I’ll share the strategies, mindset shifts, and lessons learned so other dads can see what’s possible without sacrificing family or freedom.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my long-term clients to unpack what it really looks like to be a dad while running a business for the past 30 years. We dive into the highs, the struggles and the lessons he’s learned about balance, discipline and building a life that serves both family and career. If you’re a father navigating the pressures of business and home, this conversation will give you perspective, tools and a reminder that you’re not alone in the journey.

In this episode, I sit down with my client Shannon, who has dropped an incredible 30kg and completely reshaped his life in the process. We dive into the mindset shifts, the struggles and the breakthroughs that came with his transformation and how the ripple effect has carried over into his approach to fitness, work and being more present for his family.

This isn’t just about weight loss it’s about building a lifestyle that lasts.
