Most men think their problem is time, money, or genetics. But the truth? Those are just cover stories. In this powerful episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane introduces “Excuse Archaeology” a proven way to dig past your surface excuses and uncover the hidden beliefs that are really keeping you stuck.
Using Jeremiah 17:9 as a starting point, he shows how your heart can deceive you into believing your own rationalizations. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between real obstacles and excuses, why your comfort zone feels safer than change, and how to challenge the limiting stories you’ve been telling yourself for years.
Dane walks you step by step through the “excavation” process: catching your excuse, asking what’s actually true, digging deeper until you find the core belief, and rewriting it into a new, empowering story.
He also lays out a week-long action plan to start breaking your own loops immediately without perfection or shame, but with honesty and ownership.
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I don’t have time” or “I’ve always been this way,” this episode will help you stop believing the lies that keep you from progress.
The man you want to become is waiting on the other side of your excuses. Burn the excuses. Build the man. Be the standard.
