This week on The TRUUMAN Podcast, we’re dialling back the pace — to rediscover what it really means to lead, love, and live with presence. Our guest is Tyler Graham, a husband, father of six, coach, and founder of the growing movement 3mph Fatherhood — a countercultural call for modern dads to slow down, stay steady, and show up for what matters most. After burning out on productivity and pressure, Tyler made a radical shift: to trade hustle for presence, and hurry for depth. Now, through coaching, content, and community, he helps everyday fathers lead themselves and their families with intention — not anxiety.
In this episode, we explore:
🕊️ Why slowing down is one of the most courageous things a modern man can do
💬 What “3mph Fatherhood” means — and how it changes everything
🧠 How to stay grounded and calm when your kids (and life) are in chaos
🧭 Why men need margin just as much as they need purpose
🔄 How to move from reactivity to response — in your home, your head, and your habits
❤️🩹 The cost of chronic stress in fatherhood — and the freedom of slowing down
Tyler says:
“The average walking pace of a human is 3mph — and that’s the pace of relationship, of presence, of connection.”
“So many dads are exhausted not from doing too much — but from doing the wrong things, too fast.”
“We don’t need to white-knuckle our way through fatherhood. We need a different rhythm.”
“Your kids don’t need a perfect dad. They need a present one.”
Key Themes:
✅ Slowing down as a leadership tool
