Driven Dad

Stéphane and his wife made a decision most people only dream about — they both walked away from their jobs to build something of their own. Their business, Rez3D, wasn't just a career move. It was a declaration that they were done letting someone else dictate their schedule, their priorities, and how they showed up for their family.At the heart of everything Stéphane does is his role as a father. He stays locked in on his own health — running and bodybuilding-style training — not for the aesthetics, but to show up fully present for his sons every single day.This is a conversation about the courage it takes to bet on yourself, what it really looks like to build a life on your own terms, and why being a great dad starts with taking care of the man in the mirror.In this episode, we talk about:→ Taking the leap from a secure job to entrepreneurship → Working with your wife & not bringing work at home → Balancing entrepreneurship, fitness, and fatherhood If you’re trying to build something meaningful while showing up for the important people in your life — this episode will hit home.Press play and get inspired by this Driven Dad.Follow Driven Dad Method: @drivendadmethodFollow Matt Bourque: @mattt.beFollow Stéphane LeBlanc: @stephane.leblanc.13 @rez3drenders Apply to join our curated community of incredible Driven Dads: https://drivendadmethod.com/apply
