In this episode, coach Adam and I dig into the importance of ACCOUNTABILITY and how it'll help you push above and beyond. Without accountability, it's easy to quit and give up. When you don't have accountability it's easy to let yourself off the hook. When you DO have accountability, you'll be held to a higher standard. Accountability is the game-changer. 🔗 LINKS Check out my YouTube channel wher...

In this episode, coach Adam and I dig into the thought and idea of "Ringing The Bell". Or in other words, QUITTING. Quitting isn't an option. I don't understand it nor do I want to have anything to do with the thought of QUITTING and GIVING UP. There's always a way through the resistance you face, especially when you're truly COMMITTED to an outcome. Everything you want and more is on the other si...

Are you FOCUSING too much on the WRONG stuff? I know I did for a very LONG time. Years back I let negative self-talk run the show. It can destroy you. Stop and ask yourself, "What do I typically think about most?" Possible failure? All your doubts and fears? Things that you DON’T want? It’s said that you get what you FOCUS on most. Is this true? I believe so. So why not just focus on the POSITIVES...

Yesterday was day #1 of our “Summer Games” 5 week competition we’re having inside the Forged Father. We took on the “Bodyweight Gauntlet”, which is a classic benchmark test I created nearly 10 years ago that I’ve put 1000’s of athletes through. It’s a simple test, but it’s NOT easy. Just like any hard workout, it pushes you both mentally and physically. You’ll go through and experience some DISCOM...

This one digs deep... You're either INTERESTED or COMMITTED. Here's some simple TRUTH for ya. "Interested" = Average "COMMITTED" = UNCOMMON Being one of them will get you "OK" results and the other, will bring you whatever you DESIRE. The difference? A simple DECISION that YOU make for yourself. Are you Interested or COMMITTED? 🔗 LINKS Check out my YouTube channel where I post tons of kick-ass vi...

I just got back from a fun little get-away vacation with my fam. We went up north to Park Rapids, Minnesota where we had a nice spot next to a sandy beach on Long Lake. It was an amazing time and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while spending a lot of high quality, focused time with my girls. One of the things I’m most happy about? The fact that I didn’t do one bit of work while I was there. Years bac...

In this episode, I go beyond the surface level BS and dig into the GOOD stuff. I talk about THREE TRUTHS you'll not want to ignore especially if you're a DRIVEN DAD who's determined to DESTROY THE DAD BOD for good and get back your edge in life. SCREW the "tactics and strategies"... NONE of them will ever truly work until you've embraced these THREE TRUTHS. Have a listen and if it resonates with Y...

As we continue to push forward through all of the craziness 2020 has brought us, I wanted write this message and ask you to think deep about something. Take a bit of time to find a quiet place so you can really focus in on asking yourself this simple question. WHAT TYPE OF MAN AM I? Are you a COMMITTED man who backs his words up with RELENTLESS ACTION? Or... Are you a man that just talks and only...

Rise up from the ashes and REBUILD.

I just want to send out some big props to my man Chris! Before Chris joined up with Forged FATHER, it wasn’t like he was sitting around doing nothing. He wasn’t laying around on the couch being lazy and “unmotivated”. He wasn’t eating a bunch of crap and stuffing his face with food. Chris was putting in the work and pushing hard, but despite being consistent with his training and “eating clean”, C...

I wanted to share my thoughts from the final episode of “The Last Dance”. More so, I wanted to address MJ’s ‘SECRET Weapon”. I do so within the newest episode of Forged FATHER FM HERE Off the top, everyone know’s that MJ was a superior athlete with his God-given talents. He could jump outta the gym with ease, he was fast and agile, and just an amazing athlete. On top of that, he was one of the har...

Big situations call for BIG LEADERS to step up and do what they gotta do. I reflect on a specific moment in time when Scottie Pippen was given the opportunity to rise up as a leader but chose NOT to. So, what's this gotta do with you? What's this gotta do with being a DAD? Well, let it serve as a REMINDER. When you're a DAD, you're a LEADER. Your family needs you to be able to step up. Because the...

I got chills (again) while watching the latest episode of "The Last Dance". It was the part when Tim Grover, Jordan's personal trainer, was talking about what Michael had said to him after they lost to the Orlando Magic in the playoffs the year he returned back to the game. Michael said, "I have an obligation" That's all I needed to hear to get the hairs on the back of my neck to shoot straight up...

Not sure where I first heard this, but when I did, it created a MASSIVE MINDSET SHIFT in how I started to think and put certain things into perspective. It's a simple concept really… Instead of always saying, "I have to" do this or I "have to" do that, start saying, "I GET TO." Let me share a story with you about this. I caught myself in the "I HAVE TO" mindset just a few days back. As the world b...

Yesterday I sent out a message talking about keeping a “Quarantine Journal” to my newsletter. Think of it as something to help keep you accountable and on track during these crazy times where you might feel like things are spiraling out of control. I believe keeping a journal is important to help keep you focused and dialed in on consistent growth and forward progress. Plus it serves as a great fo...

Most dads want to focus in on the OUTER GAME... Things like workouts, diets, supplements, etc... While all of that stuff is certainly IMPORTANT, it's NOT the most important. What's the most important thing above all else is the INNER GAME. In this episode, I share a replay of a live coaching session I did inside my free Facebook Group, "DRIVEN Ex-Athlete DADS", I talked about the importance of WIn...
