Most men have no idea why they react the way they do.
Why they shut down.
Why they explode.
Why they feel like they’re failing—even when they’re “doing everything right.”
In this solo episode, I rip the mask off the modern dad and share my own raw journey through fatherhood, anxiety, and the broken masculine blueprint I inherited.
I unpack:
⚔️ Why your origin story matters—and how your childhood still runs the show
⚔️ The real Hero’s Journey—and the moment every man must face his Father
⚔️ How breathwork and meditation helped me stop spinning and start leading
⚔️ Why your family doesn’t need a martyr—they need a lighthouse
⚔️ And how I began to become the King my kids could model and my wife could trust
This is about breaking the cycle.
Redefining masculinity.
And becoming the calm, present, powerful father your legacy depends on.
Your kids won’t remember what you said—
They’ll remember who you were.
Let’s get to work.
