Jen is joined on the show today by Mitchell Osmond from The Dad Nation. They dig into the year everything fell apart—job loss, $100K debt, 60 extra pounds, substance numbing, and a marriage on the brink—then Mitchell walks us through the exact inner and outer work that rebuilt his health, wealth, relationship, and mission. You'll learn the three levers he pulls with clients (Clarity, Community, Coaching), the "Eulogy Exercise" that snaps you into alignment, and how to create safety nets (hello, Iron Five) so you don't slide back into old patterns. We also touch on emotional connection in long-term relationships and a practical way to bring back spark—without sacrificing career success.
In this episode:
The funeral question that flipped Mitch's life: "Are you living a life worthy of imitation?"
Taking full ownership (and why no one is taking the cheeseburger out of your hand)
The Eulogy Exercise: version 1 (today) vs. version 2 (your 10/10 self)—and how to reverse-engineer the gap
The 3 Levers:
Clarity (begin with the end in mind; yearly → quarterly → weekly moves)
Community (Mitch's Iron Five framework for accountability)
Coaching/Mentorship (systems that catch you when motivation dips)
Why many divorces stem from lack of emotional connection—and what to do about it
A simple tool to rekindle romance and conversation at home (Spark Starter Kit)
Parting reframe: Time is the only currency we spend without knowing the remaining balance.
Try this today:
Write two eulogies from your partner's perspective. First, the honest "today" version. Second, the 10/10 best-self version. Highlight the differences, pick 3 behaviors that would close the gap this week, and tell your partner what you're committing to.
