Isn't self-care selfish? Shouldn't you be pouring everything you've got into your work or your family first?

F*ck no.

As men, husbands, and fathers we are the FOUNDATION of the family. We are the ground upon which everything else stands. It's imperative that we fill our own cups, that we charge ourselves up, so that we have enough to give to our wives, kids, and to the world in abundance.

Why? Because as the foundation, they RELY on us. It's what it means to be reliable, and to be a RELIANT man, husband, and father.

In this episode with Brad Dunn (@reliant.fitness) , we dive DEEP into creating an Uncommon life through looking into the eyes of our fears and moving forward ANYWAY. We cover the simple essentials of crafting your target vision, building a roadmap of A to B to C that will build you into the man you need to be to even REACH the mythical Z, and the foundational habits necessary to show up as a cycle-breaking legacy-making legend.

Half of this episode was lost into the depths of time and technology, so ENJOY the power-packed wisdom that remains.

Ben Walker, the no. 1 procrastination coach, is a huge advocate for FUN and PLAY in human life. Not only does he believe that they're important, he believes that they're THE POINT of life -- essential for physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual growth for ourselves and our families. And not only are they important for that, they're necessary to understand inner and outer boundaries.

In this episode, we explore how to reconnect to fun, to play, and how to eradicate procrastination in your life. Why? Well, genuine fun, personal fulfillment, and the ability to get up and dust yourself off are a WAY more powerful legacy than how well you sit at a desk and complete tasks.

Philip Folsom, an anthropologist, army veteran, and legendary figure, brings a unique perspective shaped by his life experiences as a father, business owner, consultant, and longtime practitioner of the work.

Folsom proposes that fathers should actively create their own lives filled with vitality and passion, pursuing their dreams instead of falling into martyrdom through self-sacrifice and overwork. He asserts that this self-directed life not only models a positive example for children but also gives us a shot at breaking the cycle of ancestral curses and generational wounds. Drawing from his background, Folsom emphasizes the necessity for inner work and accountability as keystones to personal growth, akin to leveling up in a video game, which ultimately creates a positive and empowering legacy for families.

Ryan King has a paradigm-shaking take on fatherhood and parenting, particularly in how we may navigating the different stages from early childhood to adolescence.

According to Ryan, fatherhood goes beyond just a title; it's about being a mentor, guide, and a cool, relatable figure in a child's life.

By actively engaging in their interests, staying physically fit, and maintaining an air of mystery, being their Batman, he believes fathers can build strong bonds, trust, and confidence in and with with their children.

There comes a time in every man's life when he must get butt-a$$ naked, look in the mirror, and ask himself, "Is the reflection looking back at me the example that I want for my children?"

When we STRIP AWAY the extras -- our clothing, our jewelry, our technology, the hobbies we identify ourselves with -- we come face to face with who we REALLY are.

For many of us, we're confronted with a sobering realization: that we have no clue who we really are at our deepest core.
And secondly, that we've never really been TRULY present or truly connected to those who we love the most. We’ve never been truly HERE. And our wives, our kids, and our lives are suffering because of that.

Tune in for this episode with @thewyldmen as we dive DEEP into stripping away the layers to come face to face with our true self, the true present, and our true potential in the world.

This conversation is a WYLD ride, as we dive deep into the value of nudity for men, technology detox, sunning your balls, qi gong, breathwork, sexual health, and MORE.

Just because there's a person in a male body in the house, doesn't mean there's a father in the house.
To be Uncommon Fathers, we must first be Uncommon Men.
We live in a time where what it means to embody manhood and masculinity is controversial and threatening and where the examples of mature manhood are few and far between.
So many men who tell me that they're building an example of fatherhood that's different from what they received from their own dads. Others who didn't have man or father-figure in the house, so they're building it from SCRATCH.
In order to embody the kind of fatherhood that our wives, kids, and families (and hell, the world) need and deserve from us, we must first become powerful men.
🐲What are we up against? Well, DrAgOnS.
In this episode with @StartTheWorld, we dive deep into the work it takes to rise to your fullest potential as a man, how to embody the role of the Stryker, Father, and Lord of The Earth, and the life changing value of joining a Gang of Men.
…and how to train to kill dragons.
At the end of it all, it's on us to be the example we want our sons to grow up to be, and the example that we want our daughters to seek.

It didn't start with you. But it CAN end with you.
As humans, we're tasked with the unfinished business of our parents, who were tasked with the unfinished business of their OWN parents.
As fathers, we have a unique opportunity to heal those wounds, to break our negative patterns, and to write a new story and a new legacy for our kids and for the generations that follow.
And someday, your children's children might sit around a fire, telling the story of the legend within the lineage who recognized those cycles and did the work to break them, heal them, and forge a new legacy for generations to come.
As Uncommon Dads it's our opportunity to RISE as that transitional character in our family's line.
Or, you can hope and pray that your kids figure it out. 🤷‍♂️
In this episode with @coach_victor_robledo , we dive DEEP into generational cycles and the work that's necessary to heal those traumas and write a new story. We discuss the importance -- and inadequacy -- of training alone, the power of holotropic breathwork, and so much more.

Authenticity is the currency of the NEW world. And it’s the foundation of the future that your kids will live in.

We live in an age where our bodies are being poisoned by artificial foods covered in poisonous substances for their "protection" and our minds are being filled with what's important by our "schools", social-media, Disney, and all the various technologies that distract us and extract our awareness, our ESSENCE.

This is the world that our children are about to enter. I can't FATHOM what they're up against. It’s on us as fathers to take back the responsibilities that we’ve abdicated, and to be the example that our children and future generations need us to be.

In this episode with the @certifiedhealthnut , the PsychoChicken of Cyberspace, we explore all of these things AND MORE.

Most importantly, we dive into what's necessary for every man (and every woman) to reconnect to their TRUE NATURE, and to live on their own terms and act on their own authority -- after all, that's what AUTO-HENTES & AUTHENTICITY MEAN.

Oh, and we also talk about slapping and sunning your balls.

If there's anything that we tend to forget as parents is this: parenting -- though challenging -- can be fun as hell, and that our greatest example can be in our ability to have fun and even LAUGH at ourselves.

In this episode with Pat Barber, we dive deep into the importance of becoming both Harder to Kill and Easier to Love, and how we can do exactly that through through snowballing and stacking little habits.

We even explore the practice and impact of meaningful consequences, journaling, and how to actually succeed at not overreacting and yelling at your kids and the surprising impact that the No Yelling Challenge had for Pat.

In this episode w/ Steve Eckert, we delve deep into what it truly means to BE a man and a father. From rediscovering our purpose to integrating our family into every aspect of our lives, we explore the importance of rhythm and flow over rigid discipline, and the profound impact of our language on shaping the future of our children and generations to come.
