In this episode of The Success Lift Podcast, Brian speaks with men's coach Dan Heaney, founder of the Healthy Husband Project and host of its podcast. Dan's family moved around a lot during his early years that, by the time he was 18, Dan had lived in 12 different places! In college he majored in exercise science and soon after jumped on the opportunity to open his own gym.

Through his unique background and time as a gym owner Dan realized that a lot of men lived unhealthy lives, and that many of these same men felt, in some way, lost, incomplete, and rudderless. Dan founded the Healthy Husband Project, which became his full-time endeavor in March 2020 after the lockdown forced him to shut down his gym—a period in his life that he now regards as a blessing in disguise.

Listen in as Dan shares his definition of "true health and fitness", what most of the Healthy Husband dads struggle with, why it pays to set boundaries with your spouse in different aspects of your relationship, and how his relationship with his Army Ranger dad influenced his upbringing.

• Why "balance" is BS and how to set our priorities
• Why fathers need to put their needs first
• Separating work time from family time if you're working from home
