In this episode of The Good Dad Podcast, we sit down with fire chief, coach, and leader Brian Roberts to talk about what it truly means to become a better dad, husband, and man.

Brian shares his journey from simply going through the motions of life to intentionally building discipline, self-awareness, and leadership in both his career and his family. After more than 30 years in the fire service, Brian realized that the same leadership principles used on the job can transform the way men show up at home.

We dive into powerful topics including:

How discipline and daily habits shape better fathers

Why fitness and mindset are critical for men and dads

The importance of being present with your kids

Learning to take ownership of your life instead of blaming others

How coaching and mentorship help men become stronger leaders

Why your kids are always watching what you do

This conversation is a must-listen for men who want to improve their fatherhood, leadership, faith, and personal growth.

If you're trying to become a better dad, a stronger husband, and a more disciplined man, this episode will challenge you to step up and lead your family well.

This episode of the Good Dude Podcast is one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had.

Ben opens up about the recent miscarriage he and his wife experienced, the emotional roller coaster that followed, and the difficult questions their family had to wrestle with — including the one asked by his seven-year-old daughter:

“If God is so good, why would He take our baby?”

The guys discuss faith, grief, marriage, and what it looks like for men to lead their families through pain when they don’t have all the answers.

This episode is a reminder that being a good dude doesn’t mean having life figured out — it means showing up, staying faithful, and walking through the hard seasons together.

Luke shares his incredible journey from growing up in South Africa training under his father, to leaving everything behind and moving to the United States with no money, no plan, and no guarantees—sleeping in hostels, walking miles to training, and dedicating his life to chasing greatness.

But this conversation goes far beyond Jiu-Jitsu.

We dive deep into:

• The power of having a strong father

This episode is a powerful reminder that being a good dude dad isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up, doing the work, and leading with strength and integrity.

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Turna, strength and conditioning coach and founder of Mueve Studio, to talk about what it really takes to become a good dude when life doesn’t hand you a blueprint.

Growing up in Santa Ana without a father figure, Kevin shares how mentors, sports, and relentless grind helped him avoid the path that traps so many young men. From training clients out of his mom’s garage to opening his own gym, his story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t built on talent — it’s built on grit, humility, and community. We dive into the importance of mentorship, why modern men are shifting from looking strong to being capable, and how being a “father figure” doesn’t require having kids of your own.

This episode is about legacy, discipline, and becoming the man someone else can look up to.
