After losing his father young, he carried depression, anxiety, and the effects of neglecting his own health. Becoming a dad forced him to step up, reassess his priorities, and start showing up differently. Dad Mode On is his platform to make those conversations normal, relatable, and honest so dads feel less alone and more supported.Find JakeInstagram: @dad_mode_on_au

Welcome Team, today we’re going to dive into a game-changing strategy that can help you reclaim your fitness and transform your daily routine: getting up an hour earlier before the family wakes up.It might sound daunting at first, especially if you’re not a morning person, but trust me, the benefits of joining what I like to call “The 4AM Club” are worth every bit of the effort. In this episode, I’ll break down why that extra hour in the morning is the secret weapon you need to get your fitness back on track and how it can positively impact not just your health, but your entire day.Leroywww.thefitdadlifestyle.com

Welcome to another episode of The Fit Dad Lifestyle. I'm your host, Leroy Faure, and today we're diving deep into a topic that resonates with every dad out there: Fatherhood in the current day, the importance of health and fitness, and how we can inspire our kids by leading from the front.Fatherhood today is a multi-faceted role. It’s no longer just about being the provider—it's about being present, engaged, and intentional with every aspect of our lives. The stakes are higher because our kids are watching, learning, and mimicking our actions. They look to us for guidance, not just in words but in the example we set every day. So, in this episode, I want to explore what it really means to be a modern-day father, why our health and fitness are crucial to our success, and how we can inspire our children to become their best selves by leading from the front.www.thefitdadlifestyle.com#fitness #Fatherhood #dad

Today we are fortunate to have Adam Schafer on The Fit Dad Lifestyle Podcast as a simulcast from one of our new hosts Tom Kingwell in which he interviewed him recently. Adam is one of the founding members of Mind Pump Media, who put out a Top 10 Podcast on fitness and wellness that has over a million listens each month in more than a hundred countries. Adam and Mind Pump is dedicated to giving honest fitness and health information to cut through the bullshit of an industry plagued by charlatans nad people clambering for attention and putting the dollar above actually helping people. Although Adam and I touch on fitness and the importance having a strong body plays in being an effective father, our conversation hinges largely around developing and exercising self- awareness and how this ability can be an underrated superpower in helping us be the husbands, fathers and men we are capable of being. I was really challenged by how intentional Adam and his wife have been about having a child and how they are going to raise little Max, and I know that you will leave this podcast reflectin Enjoy the episode.
