Episode Notes

What kind of man are your kids learning to become?

In this raw, vulnerable, and intensely personal episode, Dane opens up about a recent experience that shook him to his core: watching both his sons compete in the biggest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament of the year. But this episode isn’t about sports it’s about leadership, legacy, and the quiet moments where you realize who you really are as a father.

Dane reflects on what it would’ve felt like to show up as the old version of himself the overweight, exhausted, checked-out dad who watched from the sidelines, pretending to support while silently drowning in shame. But after years of discipline, internal work, and refusing to let his family be stuck with a mediocre version of him… he showed up as the man his kids could actually look up to.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real. It’s about being in the fight.

Because your kids don’t just hear your words they study your actions. They’re watching how you handle pressure, how you show up when it’s hard, how you talk to yourself when you fail, and how you either step up… or shrink back. And in those observations, they’re forming their entire blueprint for what being a man looks like.

Whether you're already on your journey or stuck in the starting blocks, this episode is a wake-up call: Your transformation is not just about looking better or feeling better. It's about showing your kids what’s possible when a man decides to stop making excuses and start keeping his word.

Dane unpacks the ripple effect of becoming the standard on your marriage, your home, your career, and your legacy. And he challenges every man listening to ask the hard question:

Are you the man you want your kids to become?

This episode will hit you in the chest. It’s not just inspiration it’s a direct challenge to the man you are today… and the one you’re capable of becoming.

Hit play. Then go be the damn hero your kids deserve.
