Dads, are you feeling stuck? Burning out? Overwhelmed by #DadLife? If you answered YES to any, keep reading.  

*2 minute read*

Feel like no matter what you simply can't get ahead?
Motivation goes away as fast as it came?
Your energy always feels like it's low?
Listened to all the podcasts?
You've read all the books?
Read all the content?
Nothing works....

If you’re deeply and truly happy, no need to keep scrolling. 

If not, keep going. 

_________________________________________________

How about these?  Have you felt it?

- Stuck
- Stress
- Doubt
- Anxiety
- Burn out
- Dad guilt
- Imposter Syndrome
- Harsh voice in your head
- Tying self worth to a number
- Exhausted from chasing money


Yeah me too 👆 

As a Dad, Leader, Athlete, Husband, Friend, Recruiter, and Entrepreneur I've felt it all. 

Over the past 10 years I've been on a journey of self improvement in all areas of life. 

I’m now taking everything I learned from my own experience and coaching I’ve invested in 
to pour back into others. 

My clients range from Manager —> CTO. 

(Mostly Dads but don’t worry, if you’re not a Dad, I still got you)

They are:
- people pleasers, 
- perfectionist, 
- controllers
- high achievers. 
- etc. 

(All a form of self sabotage 👆)

They all feel what you are feeling. 
Yet, on the outside you’d never know. 

They have it all just like you: nice home, 
car, job + title to match and a great family. 

Your outward “success” has not translated to fulfillment. 

You know you need to do something because your family is only getting the leftovers and they deserve all of you. 

_________________________________________________

I can help you hit the accelerator on your growth. 

My 1:1 coaching program covers 4 main pillars:

Mindset:

- rewire your brain to consistently get back to a powerful state.

If you’ve read this far I encourage you to act now. 

I’ve got two ways I can help by you going to my featured section and clicking the links:

1) Book a FREE 1:1 DADvice Chat. 

2) Join my FREE community for Dads looking to level up “The Real Dad Life”.  We do fun challenges and have a Slack community + zoom meet ups. 

So I did a thing.....

Honestly I had no intentions of getting back into recruiting.

But...when you have an opportunity to get to work for one of the industries best leaders you take it.

One text a few weeks ago to Kelly Meadows turned into this announcement.

While my entrepreneurial journey is not over by a long shot, my vision for The Real Dad Life Community + Podcast + Coaching business need time to grow the right way.

Now it has the time and I'm grateful for that.

(Super exciting stuff happening by the way but that's for another post)

As for now, I'm getting back to my roots of recruiting.

Recruiting has opened up a lot of doors for me over the years and provided me all the opportunities my family benefits from to this day.

I'm grateful to be back on my own terms.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new part-time position as a Senior Recruiter at Aprio Talent Solutions!

PS - to any past clients who have missed me, I'm here for you again.  DM me or call my cell.

How the *%^* does this make me a better Dad?

It’s simple if you’ll take 87 seconds to read. 


Most Dads I meet have this in common 👇 

When they have kids they 
let a piece of them go.

They lose who they really are and 
their identity becomes a provider, 
that’s it nothing more. 

They get stuck in a job they 
feel like they hate.  

They are physically at the dinner 
table but not mentally. 

They have no energy to 
play with the kids. 

They’re stressed and overwhelmed…all the time. 

They all wish they had more time. 

What’s next may make 
you scratch your head…..

More play = more time. 

But how??!!


Look we are all kids in a grown up body. 

We need to play to fill our cups. 

Every minute you spend in a state of 
stress, overwhelm, anxiety, etc. 

That’s emptying your cup 
and it’s not the real you. 

You aren’t making good decisions, not 
present and it takes you longer 
to complete tasks. 

When we have a full cup there is more 
of us to give in all areas of life. 

We can complete our work more efficiently 
+ effectively (aka crush it)

We can have energy + attention 
to give our kids. 

We can be fully present 
with those who matter. 

👆 that’s exactly what I help 
Dads with in my 1:1 Coaching.  

I help Dads build a mindset 
that will transform their life. 

To go from the successful at work 
but home life is a struggle. 

To being successful at work + at home.  

I’ll teach you how to self coach so 
you don’t ever need another coach. 

I’m looking for 2 Dads

Who are successful at work but struggling 
at home and are in a constant 
state of stress + overwhelm. 

I lived your life, then invested 
in myself and changed my life.  

I can help you too. 

DM me to start the convo and set 
up a free no pressure consultation. 


PS - this video was me playing. I’m filled with joy + gratitude and now have so much energy to play with my kids when they get home. 

PPS - I know most Dads aren’t ready to admit they need a Coach and that’s ok. 

I have a FREE community you are welcome to join The Real Dad Life with 50+ other Dads.

Our kids are not an inconvenience. 

Our jobs are. 


Prior to the pandemic if your kids 
were sick you’d turn a blind eye 
and send them to school. 

During the pandemic when you were 
forced to have your kids at home 
it was an inconvenience. 

Post pandemic it’s a 
healthy mix of both. 

Reflect on that. 

When your kid is sick, or there is an unexpected school closure, what is your initial reaction?

Me?

Well, it was met with annoyance 
more times than I care to admit. 

Then as I dove deeper into myself 
and doing the inner work 
to level up it all clicked. 

What really matters is time spent with our kids. 

If time is money like it’s engrained 
into you by society, I choose 
to spend it on my family. 

Back to the reason for the post. 

Yesterday was a day I had intentionally 
planned to have off work 
to spend by myself. 

It didn’t go as planned because my 
daughters daycare was closed 

The old me would have been annoyed. 

Instead, I was stoked to be able to have 
a Daddy + Daughter day together. 

My favorite parts:

- rock climbing 
- coffee + pastry date
- painting our toe nails 
- snuggles in bed to start day 
- movie + snuggling on the couch 

*************************************


Dads - listen carefully. 

There is more to life than your job. 
Work will always be there. 
Your kids won’t be. 

Before you know it, they’ll 
be out of the house. 

Being the provider of the family,
is not just about money. 

Honestly, that’s the smallest part of it. 

You need money to pay bills. 

You don’t need it to show love. 

If you are a Dad who says:

“I’ll do anything for my family.”

Prove it. 


To start, there is a free community I’m 
building called The Real Dad Life. 

We are a group of 50+ Dads

On a mission to become the best Fathers, Husbands and Leaders we can be. 

+ collectively we are doing 1 MILLION 
pushups along the way.  

Currently, we are at 108k++

Comment “IN” and I’ll share the info.

Why the h *ll are a bunch of Dads doing 1 MILLION pushups together?


It is the entry ticket into The Real Dad Life. 

We only want Dads who truly care 
about living an intentional life. 

Put more bluntly:

Dads who really give a 💩. 

It is your commitment to you + your family. 

The Real Dad Life is up to something special:

💪 80+ Dads actively logging pushups 
🔥 50+ Dads in the private Slack group
👍 5 different countries represented
🤯 125k+ total pushups logged


What is it?

A FREE community for those men committed to being a R.E.AL Dad. 

Resilient: physically + mentally + emotionally

Engaged: active + present with their family.

Authentic: being the real you all day everyday. 

Loving: showing love through our actions. 

Interested in joining?

Comment “IN” 👇 

I’ll send the info. 

✌️ 


PS - Tag a Dad who may be interested + repost ♻️ for others to see. 

PPS - I’m looking to get on more podcasts to spread the word about what we are doing. Who do you know that has a podcast I should be on?

It’s time to practice what I preach. 

Consider this my official out of office post. 

I’m pulling the plug on LinkedIn. 

Don’t worry, I’ll be back Tuesday. 

There are 4 days left of our family 
Spring break with everyone at home. 

We’re going to make the most of it. 

That means little to no phone. 

Admittedly I’ve had my phone out too much around my kids this break so I’m turning it off. 

Thanks to Jared Anders for the unknowing nudge on this from his post yesterday. 

——————————————————-

I leave you with a letter to all Dads:


I hear you and I see you. 

The overwhelm and loneliness are real. Believe me when I say this, whenever you feel alone, you are not. 

You know this to be true when I hear a sigh of relief when I share you aren’t the only one who struggles with Dad life. 

The more Dads I have real conversations with it creates even more importance behind what we are building together with The Real Dad Life.  

This group is bigger than me and certainly way more than push-ups. 

My vision is still being crafted for it and I’m excited to see where it goes with you all. 

If you’ve been watching and waiting for an invite to the group consider this is it. 

We are over 50 Dads strong in the Slack community and 75+ doing push-ups. 

We always have room for one more. 

See you all Tuesday. 


✌️

You have 60-70 thousand thoughts per day. 

This one line changed how I think forever. 


Here it is:

You can’t control your first thought, but you 
can always control your second thought. 🔥 

Mitch Whiting shared that with me last 
Summer and it blew my mind 🤯 

————————————————————-

Studies show that of our 60-70k thoughts per day, nearly 95% are repeats from the day before. 

Even more staggering is nearly 
80% are negative thoughts. 

How is this possible?

Most thoughts we have are subconscious 
which means your autopilot runs 
much of your life. 

When we have thoughts out brain sends chemicals to the body to produce 
feelings + emotions to match. 

Those emotions drive 
our action. 

Our actions ultimately 
turn into results. 

The more you understand this 
the more control you 
will have in life. 

The hard work is becoming aware 
of our thoughts conscious 
and subconscious. 

Then observing them 
without judgement. 

Start with journaling 
or meditation. 

As you become aware of your 
thoughts remember this:


1️⃣Not every thought we have is true. 

2️⃣You have 100% control to choose your next thought. 

The quality of your life is determined 
by the quality of your thinking. 

Change your thinking, change your life. 

✌️ 


PS - this is exactly the style of coaching I do with Dads 1:1. I challenge you to change your thinking, rewire your brain and change your life. 

DM to say hi and I’ll happily listen and see where it goes. 


PPS - The Real Dad Life PODCAST episode #1 has just been recorded.  More in comments 👇

Dads - buying something for your kids doesn’t show them love.  


Showing kids love is being WITH them. 

Love is not buying them a snowcone
then sitting on your phone ignoring them. 

Love isn’t buying them a new toy and 
then walking in the other room. 

Love is buying that snowcone and sitting with them enjoying their company. 

Love is buying that toy and playing with them. 

Love is shown + felt. 

Love is everything. 

Choose to a house that shows love. 

Love is a pillar of being a REAL Dad. 

Resilient
Engaged 
Authentic
LOVING

The Real Dad Life was created to change the game on typical Dad Life. 

It’s early on in the journey but I think we are doing a pretty good job so far spreading the message. 

+ we’re doing a lot of pushups along the way. 

1 million by end of 2024 to be exact. 


PS - Spring Break continues here with the family.  After some coaching client sessions today I’m all fired up in a good way to get back with the fam. 

PPS - I’ve still got 2 spots open for 1:1 coaching clients. DM me “Hey 👋 “ to chat.

Today was going to be a banger of a post.  

Then LinkedIn ate my content like my dog used to eat my homework. 

Rather than get annoyed I’ll 
spread some gratitude:

Ashley Beck Cuellar - a scroll stopping breathe of fresh air on LinkedIn (follow her and you’ll get that it’s literally and figuratively)

+ she’s a gosh darn super connector. I’ve met so many cool people since knowing her. 

Lester Sydney - thanks for being a friend + mentor + partner and keeping me on track. 

Austin Moore - my brother from another mother.  Enough said. 

Sandra Macele - one of the most selfless people I’ve met. She’s awesome, get to know her. 

Christopher Hess - thank you for playing a major part in lifting The Real Dad Life off the ground. 

Kofi Douhadji - one of the most uplifting people you’ll meet on LinkedIn and I’m sure IRL

+ he’s get a great book Unbroken Optimist and an apparel company dooko® which you’ve seen their hats in my videos. 

Robb Gilbear - cutting through all the noise of coaches coaching coaches. Total stud and he genuinely gives a c r a p. 

ALL 55+ Dads in The Real Dad Life Community. If you are on the inside you know we aren’t a “pushup group”.  It’s way more than that. 

ALL my 1:1 Coaching clients: you all seriously rock. I grew as much as you did working together. 

What / who are you grateful for?

Drop it in the comments 👇 


PS - I’m also grateful for the interest so far in my FIRST in-person retreat for Dads scheduled in August (DM for details)

PSS - what do you think of my new banner?

Rewire your brain using my S.O.A.P framework and get rid of that stinkin thinkin 👇 

(You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to do this)


Before diving in we’ll start here:

Our brain is hardwired for survival and wants to keep us safe. 

When our brain perceives a threat it throws us into fight/flight mode. 

Lions, tigers and bears oh my!  That used to be our main threats. 

Now todays threats are as simple as:

❌Traffic
❌Bills to pay
❌Screaming kids 
❌Your alarm clock 
❌”Annoying” co-workers
❌Comments on social media
❌Late night emails from your boss

Emotions that accompany being in a fight/flight state include:

Stress, fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, shame, 
guilt, anger, resentment, etc 

When you are in this state you have thoughts like:

“Must be nice…”
“I’m terrible Dad”
“I’m not good enough”
“Why do these things always happen to me”

👆 You are spiraling down a negative thought loop (aka stinkin thinkin 💩)

We get stuck in this negativity because our brain wants us to avoid discomfort.  

It’s easier to be stuck in negativity and avoid situations than it is to dive in head first. 

————————————————————-

It’s time to get rid of that stinkin thinkin 
once and for all. 

🧼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗦.𝗢.𝗔.𝗣 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸:

Use this when you recognize you are in fight/flight mode based on your emotions (stress, fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, judgment, guilt, etc.)

✅𝗦top, take a breath to center yourself.

✅𝗢bserve your mind + thoughts without judgement/guilt to find the lie (untrue belief)

✅𝗔cknowledge the lie and call it out for what it is.  A straight up BS lie.

✅𝗣ivot - choose a new belief (some form of the opposite is always true) and back it up with 3 pieces of evidence to support it.  

Evidence can be from your experience or others.  

This is science backed through Positive Psychology that it takes 3 positives 
to outdo a negative.

Do this and you'll start to rewire your brain and put your brain on the hunt for new evidence.  

Every time you do this you are creating a new neural pathway and then using the same thinking you’ll be strengthening it. 

Our brain is a tool. 

You either use it, or it uses you. 

🤔 


PS - would anyone be interested in a more in-depth talk on this?  Maybe I’ll host a free workshop.

This is how you build unbreakable confidence. 

(And it doesn’t involve calling yourself a lion)



Here is the step by step plan to build unbreakable confidence:

1️⃣ Make a promise. 

2️⃣ Keep that promise.  

3️⃣ Repeat steps 1-2 over and over. 


Pro tip: Make these promises so small it’s laughable. 

Right + Wrong Way 👇 

❌ I’m going to lose 20lbs by Summer. 

✅ I’m going to workout for 2 minutes every day this week. 

👆 those 2 minutes are small wins that add up to create momentum which leads to confidence. 

2 minutes will turn into 5, 10, 15, etc. 

You’ll be asking “what else am I capable of”

—————————————————————————

Why this works so well is because 
you are rewiring your brain. 

Our brain runs on patterns + habits. 

Old you made outlandish promises and broke them 9/10 times. 

New you makes small promises and keeps them 9/10 times (because nobody is perfect). 

Through keeping promises to yourself you are taking intentional action and giving your brain evidence of what you want. 

Once your brain has evidence of what you want it will do it’s thing in the background (aka your subconscious) to help you get it. 


PS - 

In The Real Dad Life we are building confidence through our push-up challenge.

You don’t have to pay anyone but yourself to join our community.  Pushups are your payment 💪. 

If you’re a Dad who’s ready to be more intentional about being a better Dad, Husband and Leader comment “IN” and I’ll send the info.

Your job isn’t making you miserable. YOU are. 

Why this happens + an exercise to help you 👇:


How many times have you come 
home from work totally drained 
with nothing left to give. 

You’re at the dinner table with your family, physically there but mentally 
you’re still at work. 

Your wife says to you:

“Are you even listening?”

Truth is, you’re not. 

You’re stuck in your own head. 

Stressed “because of work”

Feeling guilt “because you’re not doing enough”

Your kids are laughing and having fun yet you feel numb to the happy emotions. 

—————————————————————-

Here is why this happens:

✅Beliefs + Thoughts create emotions 

(Our brain brain thinks then send 
signals to the body how to feel)

✅Emotions drive action

(When you feel something you do something. Emotion / feelings are the way for our brain to get our body to take action)

✅Actions dictate our results

(Our results always depend on things we do or do not do.  Inaction is still an action)

—————————————————————

Knowing this, we can work backwards when we aren’t feeling how we want to. 

Here is the exercise:

1️⃣ Write all your thoughts about work. 

2️⃣List the emotion/feeling each thought gives. 

3️⃣ Circle all the negative emotions. 

4️⃣ Ask yourself “WHY” you feel that way. Keep asking why until you can’t answer it anymore. 

Important note about this:

* not all thoughts are true. We tell ourselves many lies to keep us safe. That’s the brains job. 

This exercise helps you get to the root of why you are feeling a certain way at work and then carrying that home with you.  

—————————————————————-

PART 2:

5️⃣ Decide what emotions you’d like to feel for each situation. 

Note: this is not about toxic positivity. Some things “just are” and getting to neutral is a huge win. 

6️⃣ Pick a new thought for each situation that would give you the new desired feeling. 

Reinforce this daily and find evidence for yourself why this new thought is true.  You can’t lie to yourself expecting new emotions. 

———————————————————————

How does this help you be present with your family and have more energy?

✅The more time you spend in a state of negative emotions the more energy you are wasting + that is not the real you. 

Having the ability to calm your mind + be present is the greatest gift on earth. 




If you liked this send me a DM, I’ve got the exercise written out in a doc you can edit + an energy management exercise.

“Crazy I was that stuck” - said a recent client. 

You’re probably stuck too but don’t realize. 

When you feel stuck what does is it feel like?

Short answer: mental quicksand. 

When you are stuck in life you aren’t 
physically stuck. 

You are stuck in your own head. 

Nobody is making you stuck. 

You are. 🫵

————————————————————-

Feeling stuck flat out sucks. 

A recent client said to me:

“Crazy that I was so stuck. 

I knew I was stuck, but didn’t know how to get out. This work is exactly what I needed. 

Mindset will make all the difference and most don’t even know this stuff exists.”

That same client after completing our last session also said:

“I’ve never been able to calm my mind. Now I can. I’ve also never been more present with my family.”

——————————————————————-

Here is what we worked on together:

- Taught him how to become an observer of his thoughts vs judge. 

- Coached on how to self coach himself. 

- Uncovered and crushed his limiting beliefs. 

- Redefined what success really means. 

- Unraveled years of self-sabotage. 

- Created his own mental fitness practice. 

- How to be fully present with his family. 

- Taught him how to get the voice in his head to work for him, not against him. 

After we did this all areas of his life started to come together. 

Sleeping better, eating healthier, spending more quality family time, and exercising regularly. 

Not feeling stuck anymore. 

——————————————————————-

I can help you too.  

But you have to want to change first. 

You say you’ll do anything for your family.  

But will you invest in yourself so you are giving them all of you instead of the leftovers?

When you’re ready, there are 2 ways I can help:

1) DM me for a free 1:1 coaching consult. 

2) If you’re a Dad who isn’t ready for coaching but is longing for community + accountability I got you covered with The Real Dad Life 

# 2 is free 👆 

# 2 has 50+ other Dads already in.

Dads - our kids need us and they are important. But so are you. Sometimes you’ve got to:

Go to the ballpark, slam a few hotdogs, get your own water ice and also grab some nachos.  

And….

Do it without your kids. 

You’ve got to make time for yourself. 

Communicate with your wife, make plans ahead of time and enjoy yourself. 

Do the same for her though too, encourage your wife to get out and be out of Mom mode. 

Me? I’m enjoying being out of Dad mode while my brother is in from Texas. 

Go Phills ⚾️

🚨 I’ve never met a Dad who wished they had more time on their phone than with their kids. 

This weekend I have a challenge for you 🫵

I dare you to go 3 hours without 
touching your phone once. 

After you do that see how little you can 
use your phone this weekend. 

Spend intentional time with your kids. 

If you get the urge to pick up your phone 
use this one simple question:

“What is my intention?”

That question alone will cut out 50% 
of phone usage I’d guarantee.

Let’s be better (I’m talking to me too).  


You can borrow money, but you can never 
borrow time. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. 

Use the time you have intentionally with 
those who matter most.

To all parents: iPads aren’t just for screen time. 

Try downloading audiobooks + podcasts for your kids (ensure they are age appropriate first). 

Our son from a young age has LOVED audiobooks. 

Nothing has changed in the last 5 years since we introduced them to him. 

Today he is home (teacher in-service day) and my wife and I are working. 

Yes, he has had some screen time, but he’s been listening to Harry Potter on audible for longer than being on a screen. 

He remembers EVERYTHING about it too so we know he’s not just zoning out. 

Give it a shot and see if it peaks 
your kids interest too. 

PS - having my son at home my wife and I definitely took time to be with him. We just got back from playing baseball ⚾️.

Tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids.  I’ll go first. 

There are 2 half eaten bowls worth of frozen peas + corn + cheerios all mixed 
together in the bedroom.

What would you do if you knew your life would never be the same?  At 22 in 2020 Jack was diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Attaxia. 

Quick back story:

At the rock climbing gym yesterday I saw 
this guy sitting down clipping his 
harness in to climb. 

I thought “that’s pretty odd he’s sitting down like 
that. Maybe he’s doing it on purpose 
for an added challenge?”

Next time I saw him he was climbing up a 
30ft wall, didn’t seem very coordinated 
but he was making his way up. 

Next, I saw him walking around and 
he was extremely imbalanced.  

Then he was crawling to another wall to climb. 

At this point I realized he must have some condition impairing him and I instantly 
loved that he was out climbing. 

I let him know I thought he was 
awesome and we got to talking. 

With a smile on his face he said:

“I want to show people with my condition just because we are handicapped it doesn’t 
mean we are not capable”. 

Jack is a special guy. 

He has no idea I’m posting to my 
28k+ following here on LinkedIn. 

I’d love if any of you from my community would check out his Facebook page and 
consider following his journey. 

If you feel so inclined he has a 
donation page set up too. 

He’s looking to raise awareness for his condition,
by riding a Recumbent Trike (3 wheeled bike) 1,500 miles from Maine to Ohio in August. 

The link for his page will be in the comments 👇 

There is no cure for his condition and it’s a progressive neurodegenerative disease. 

As time goes on things as little as swallowing 
will be extremely difficult for him. 

For now, with what control he still has 
he’s on a mission to inspire. 

Yesterday, he inspired one more person. 

Me. 

PS - who has been an inspiration in your life recently?
