from Divorced Dads of America: The Rebuild · host Anthony Thompson, Founder of Divorced Dads of America
Two clients. One drowning in more business than he can handle — still working out of fear. One who could see the path to 3x revenue — still paralyzed by limiting beliefs. Both have the weight loaded on the bar. Neither will touch it. This episode is about why divorced dads stay small when the bigger life is right in front of them — and the exact process that builds the strength to pick up the weight that actually changes everything.
