It's about support, teamwork, gratitude, and the people who kept the ship afloat when the storms hit hardest.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:

The Hardest Hire: How to Nail Your First Staff Clinician in a Cash PT Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny Matta explains why your first staff clinician is the hardest hire you'll ever make—and how to do it the right way. He breaks down why your business looks risky from a candidate's perspective, why most PTs are wired for security (not startups), and how to sell the future vision of your clinic instead of apologizing for your current "shitty little room." Quick Ask If this episode helps you think differently about hiring and leadership, share it with another clinic owner who's gearing up for their first hire—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary Clair keeps you present: AI scribe Clair lets you focus 100% on patients instead of your EMR, improving rapport and outcomes. Time and outcomes: Better attention in the session = better engagement, better buy-in, and better clinical results. Danny's background: Staff PT, active duty military officer, cash practice founder, seller, and now CEO of PT Biz, helping 1,000+ clinicians build cash practices. The hardest hire: Your first staff clinician is the toughest hire you'll ever make. Why it's so hard: Your business looks risky—small sublease, no track record, limited capital, and no big benefits. PT personality problem: Most PTs are risk-averse, security-driven, and not naturally entrepreneurial. The failed first hire story: Danny flew in a phenomenal clinician and his fiancée to see their rough CrossFit sublease in Atlanta—she wasn't impressed, and they turned down the job. Vision vs. reality: Danny saw a future seven-figure clinic; they saw one small room in a sketchy area. Why candidates say no: From their side, it means relocating, taking on more risk, and joining an unproven business. What you're really selling: Not "what the clinic is today" but "where the clinic is going in 5–10 years" and their role in that story. First hire profile: The person who says yes is usually more comfortable with risk—and more likely to eventually start their own thing. Turnover isn't a failure: Early clinicians who leave often still move the business forward and become success stories you're proud of. Credibility boost: Having more than one clinician builds brand trust, shows the clinic is bigger than one personality, and validates the model. Leadership mistake: Danny used to think "that's what the money's for" (Mad Men style) instead of appreciating the risk people were taking on him. Respect the risk: Your first hire is betting on your vision—treat that with gratitude, not entitlement. Hardest growth cycle: The most brutal stage is going from solo to first clinician and toward standalone space—not later multi-location growth. Cash flow and stress: Hiring, ramping up schedules, and surviving turnover during this phase can feel like a gut punch. Lessons & Takeaways Your clinic looks risky to candidates: No benefits, no track record, small space, and uncertain schedule feel like red flags to security-driven PTs. Don't take "no" personally: Risk-averse people saying no to a risky offer is normal, not a reflection of your worth. Sell the vision, not the room: You must paint a clear picture of what the clinic will become and how they'll be part of it. First hires may not stay long-term: Risk-tolerant people who join early often go on to open their own practices—and that's okay. Early hires still matter: They help build the brand, establish a second schedule, and prove your model works beyond just you. Appreciation beats "that's what the money's for": You're not doing them a favor—they're taking a chance on your unproven business. Growth requires new skills: The owner you are at solo stage is not the same owner you must become with staff. Mindset & Motivation Respect the leap: That first clinician is making a bigger jump than you think—especially if they're moving states. Stay future-focused: Your job is to keep your eyes—and theirs—on where the clinic is going, not just today's rough edges. Expect churn: Some early hires will leave; it's part of the entrepreneurial cycle, not a personal betrayal. See the hard stage for what it is: The first growth cycle is supposed to feel heavy; it builds your capacity as a leader. Be proud of those who outgrow you: Former employees who go on to open clinics are part of your legacy, not your failure. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Use an AI scribe: Implement Clair so you and future staff can stay fully present with patients and avoid note fatigue. Practice your "vision pitch": Be able to clearly explain where your clinic will be in 5–10 years and what "employee #1" means. Be honest about the tradeoffs: Don't oversell security—sell autonomy, growth, impact, and the excitement of building something. Show appreciation early and often: Make it clear you understand and value the risk they're taking by joining you. Plan for turnover: Assume that some early hires will leave and build systems that outlast any one person. Notable Quotes "The hardest hire you'll ever make is your first staff clinician." "To most candidates, your business looks risky. Small space, no track record, no benefits—that's their reality." "You're not selling them on what the business is today. You're selling them on what it's going to be in 5 or 10 years." "Your first hire is taking a risk on you. Respect that. Appreciate that. Don't act like they owe you." "The solo-to-first-clinician growth cycle is where most people quit. It's also where you grow the most." Action Items Write out a clear, compelling vision story of where your clinic will be in 5–10 years. Audit your current offer: pay, benefits, schedule, growth—what's truly attractive to a candidate? Practice your "employee #1" pitch out loud before your next interview. List three ways you can show more appreciation to current or future staff. Consider using Clair to reduce documentation friction before you bring on your first or next clinician.

Little Rooms: Why Scrappy Starts Create Standout Cash PT Clinics In this episode, Doc Danny Matta unpacks a simple but powerful idea inspired by Andre 3000's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame speech: "Little rooms. Great things start. Little rooms." He connects Outkast's legendary basement studio—The Dungeon—to the tiny subleased spaces where most cash PT clinics begin, and shows why those gritty starts are not a disadvantage, but an asset that sharpens your skills, your story, and your impact. Quick Ask If this episode encourages you to see your "little room" differently, share it with another clinician who's thinking about starting or growing a practice—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Episode Summary AI scribe advantage: Clair saves staff clinicians ~6 hours per week, freeing up time for patient visits and revenue growth. Math of time: Even 3 extra visits per week at $200/visit adds roughly $30,000/year in revenue per clinician. Little rooms concept: Inspired by Andre 3000's "little rooms" quote and Outkast's early days recording in The Dungeon. Outkast's origin: Teenagers making music in a carpet-lined basement in a rough Atlanta neighborhood, with no funding and no guarantees. Clinic parallels: Most cash PT clinics start in tiny, imperfect subleased spaces with limited resources. Danny's first space: A sketchy CrossFit sublease with break-ins, rats, building shutdowns, and bad client experience—but strong outcomes. Skill as your differentiator: In a little room, you can't hide behind fancy equipment or build-outs—your outcomes are the product. Art, not just career: Obsessing over outcomes, studying cases, seeking mentorship, and treating PT like your craft is what gets you out of the small room. Word-of-mouth "virality": When your results are unique, people can't help but talk about you—just like people shared Outkast's early music. Growth phases: Start gritty & clinical, then evolve into a real business owner—leader, hirer, systems builder, and operator at scale. Lessons & Takeaways Everyone starts small: Basements, garages, subleases, apartment gyms—"little rooms" are the norm, not the exception. Your environment doesn't define you: A rough space does not limit your upside if your outcomes are excellent. Constraints create creativity: Limited resources force you to get scrappy, sharpen your craft, and focus on what really matters. Obsess over outcomes: Losing sleep over stalled cases, studying, and improving is part of turning PT into your art. Your story is an asset: The weird, stressful, funny early days become the part of your story people remember and root for. New phase, new skills: Once you're busy, the game shifts from being a great clinician to becoming a strong owner and leader. Mindset & Motivation Don't be ashamed of your "shitty little room": No windows, rats, sketchy parking lots—it's all part of your origin story. Treat PT like art: Outcomes and the way you care for people should matter to you at a deeper level than "just a job." You can't hold talent down: Great outcomes and care are like a beach ball underwater—eventually they pop to the surface. Respect the grind: The start is hard and scary—but also fun, intense, and memorable. Remember where you came from: If you're in a bigger clinic now, don't forget to tell the story of your little room—it makes you relatable. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Leverage an AI scribe: Use tools like Clair to pull 5–6 hours/week off your clinicians' plates and reinvest that time into patients or higher-level work. Focus on outcomes first: Before worrying about decor and equipment, make sure your results are undeniably better than the clinic down the street. Document your story: Take photos, jot notes, and remember the early days—you'll use this later in marketing, branding, and leadership. Invest in yourself: Study, read, get mentorship, and ask for help on tough cases—your skill set is your first real "marketing budget." Level up as you grow: Once your schedule is full, actively learn hiring, leadership, finance, systems, and SOPs. Notable Quotes "Little rooms. Great things start. Little rooms." – Andre 3000 "If you're in a little room, you can't hide your skill set. You have to be really good at what you do." "Your product is you. You need to obsess over it. It's got to be your art, not just your career." "You can't hold talent down. It's like trying to push a beach ball underwater—it's going to pop up eventually." "Don't be ashamed of your shitty little room with no windows and a rat above your head. Everybody's got to start somewhere." Action Items Run the math on your time: how many extra visits could you add with an AI scribe like Clair? Audit your outcomes: are your results meaningfully better than your local competition? Write down your "little room" story: where did you start, and what did you have to overcome? Commit to one learning action this week: a course, article deep dive, or mentor conversation about a tough case. If you're on the fence about starting, accept that your first space will be small—and start planning anyway.

One standout tale involves a girl who was meant to mind her friends cat for two weeks, but months later she still has it, her boyfriend is allergic and she has ended up with a vet bill of two thousand euro.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content: https://www.patreon.com/imgrandmam ✨ Hosted on Acast.

The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 02: Fiat's Final Days & AI Job Apocalypse | Larry Lepard, Dr. Bob Murphy, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandDr. Bob Murphy (NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, former Contra Krugman host) joins Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland for the most explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode yet. From the very first minutes the gloves come off: fiat's 100-year Keynesian experiment is mathematically doomed, AI is already wiping out entry-level jobs overnight, robots are on track to rival nation-states, and deflationary technology just made debt-based money impossible to sustain. Larry drops the hammer (“the whole experiment is about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”), Bob Murphy calmly explains why Bitcoin proves you don't need the state to have money, and the crew debates UBI inevitability, spend-and-replace adoption strategies, and why BlackRock & nation-states are suddenly begging for Bitcoin.This is the red-pill episode you send to every boomer, uncle, or normie who still thinks the dollar is fine.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a darling of MAGA. But this week a disagreement with Trump over the Epstein files has seen him brand her as a traitor. Born in 1974 in the suburbs of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene had a conventional upbringing. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Business Administration, and later owned her family's construction business and a stake in a CrossFit gym. But like so many Americans, Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign was a turning point for Marjorie Taylor Greene. In 2020, the newly-styled ‘MTG' ran for election in her home state, winning a seat to the House of Representatives. Soon she was a recognised name on the national stage, known for her provocative style and endorsement of conspiracy theories. In the years since, MTG has aligned herself so closely with the president that some called her ‘Trump in heels'. But her campaigning for the release of the Epstein files has caused a rift between her and her one-time hero.Stephen Smith spoke to Professor Gina Yannitel Reinhardt, senior POLITICO staff writer Michael Kruse, QAnon expert Gabriel Gatehouse, political scientist Andra Gillespie and Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy, about career, her life in politics and what this rift could mean for her future.

This week on Xtra Butta, Cam and Dylan crack open the VHS vault and dive into the magical, chaotic, and surprisingly emotional world of 1996's Matilda the movie that made every millennial believe two things: Reading unlocks superpowers Your principal should never be built like a retired Olympic shot-putter. Cam and Dylan break down the film's quirky charm, from Matilda's early genius days (reading Dickens before most of us could read our own names) to the Wormwoods the most aggressively neglectful yet hilarious parents ever portrayed on screen. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman were in their BAG for this movie, serving peak-trashy comedy. Of course, no Matilda conversation is complete without talking about Miss Trunchbull the terrifying, chokey-building, child-yeeting villain who straight-up traumatized a whole generation. The guys revisit her most unhinged moments, debate whether she secretly invented CrossFit, and celebrate the triumphant scenes where Matilda finally turns the tables with some telekinetic justice. Along the way, Cam & Dylan dive into behind-the-scenes trivia, the film's Roald Dahl roots, why the chocolate cake scene lives rent-free in our heads, and how Miss Honey remains the gold standard for “teacher who actually cares.” If you grew up quoting this movie, hiding from Trunchbull in gym class, or wishing you could levitate cereal with your mind, this episode is pure nostalgic comfort food xtra butta included. Tune in, laugh with us, and rediscover why Matilda still hits with magic, heart, and just the right amount of childhood chaos. Wanna ask us something?!?

Discover how resilient leadership is forged through pressure, capacity, and the barbell mindset—and learn how to build unshakeable strength under stress. Table of Contents Toggle IntroductionUnderstanding Resilient LeadershipWhy Resilient Leadership MattersCommon Challenges and Limiting BeliefsStep-by-Step Implementation GuideReal-Life Success StoriesMistakes to AvoidAdvanced Strategies for MasteryCall to ActionQ&A Section Introduction Resilient leadership isn't built in strategy meetings or motivational workshops—it's built under load. Most leaders think resilience is about staying calm, staying positive, or staying busy. But that's not resilience. That's performance acting. The truth is far more uncomfortable: resilient leadership is the capacity to take on more pressure without breaking—and to keep rising even when the weight feels unbearable. The keyword resilient leadership stands at the center of this conversation because the modern leader isn't collapsing from lack of skill… they're collapsing from lack of capacity. You don't fix that with time hacks. You fix it with training. This is where the barbell becomes your greatest teacher. In CrossFit, I learned early that the weight never lies. The barbell tells you exactly who you are under pressure. It exposes weakness, reinforces discipline, and demands growth. Leadership does the same. Today, you'll learn how resilient leadership is built the same way strength is built: friction, load, recovery, and progressive challenge. And you'll learn why leaders who avoid metaphorical weight become fragile while those who train under stress become unstoppable. Understanding Resilient Leadership Resilient leadership is the ability to stay centered, decisive, and effective under pressure—even as demands, uncertainty, and responsibility increase. It is the mental toughness for leaders that separates those who fold from those who rise. The misconception? People assume resilience is a personality trait. Something fixed. Something you're born with. But pressure doesn't care about personality. Pressure only cares about capacity. In the gym, capacity is measured by load: how much weight you can move, how well you can stay composed, and whether you keep form when things get heavy. Leadership works the same way. Many leaders crumble not because the weight is too much… …but because they never trained for it. Resilient leadership is trainable. It is measurable. And it grows through deliberate exposure to stress, challenge, and responsibility—just like strength training. The barbell metaphor leadership model teaches us that you grow capacity the same way you grow strength: gradually, intentionally, and with humility. Resilient leadership skills emerge from adversity, repetition, discipline, and reflection. They aren't earned by reading leadership books—they're earned by carrying the load. Why Resilient Leadership Matters The world is not slowing down. Expectations aren't decreasing. Pressure isn't easing. Your people, teams, and family don't need a leader who is simply informed—they need a leader who can remain grounded when the room is shaking. CrossFit taught me that strength is never about the first reps. It's about the last ones—the ones completed when your mind is screaming for relief. Those reps build the ability to perform under fatigue. In leadership, the equivalent reps come when:   You're tired but must stay clear.   You're overwhelmed but must still decide.   You're uncertain but must still lead. This is why resilient leadership training becomes essential. When leaders lack resilience, everything downstream suffers—culture, morale, communication, execution, and results. You can't give clarity if you don't have inner stability. You can't drive performance if you're emotionally depleted. You can't inspire trust when you're constantly reactive. High-performance leadership habits aren't built in moments of ease—they're built under stress. And if you're not deliberately building your resilience muscles, the weight of leadership will eventually break you. Common Challenges and Limiting Beliefs Every leader struggles with the same three traps: “If I just get through this week, it will get easier.” This is the business version of hoping the weight magically gets lighter. It doesn't. The load always increases—sometimes gradually, sometimes overnight. “Resilience means doing it alone.” This is outdated warrior mythology. In strength training, no one grows without coaching, programming, accountability, and a system that pushes them just beyond their comfort zone. “I need to avoid stress.” Avoiding stress is the fastest way to shrink capacity. Overprotection weakens the system. Stress doesn't destroy leaders—poor recovery and lack of training does. Resilient leadership isn't about dodging pressure. It's about expanding who you become in the presence of it. Step-by-Step Implementation Guide Here's how to build resilient leadership using the principles of the barbell metaphor leadership model: Step 1: Load Before You're Ready In CrossFit, if you only lift when it's comfortable, you'll stay weak. The same is true in leadership. Begin deliberately taking on responsibilities, conversations, and decisions that stretch your emotional and mental capacity, expanding your tolerance for uncertainty and increasing your ability to stay composed under pressure. Step 2: Train with Intent Resilient leadership training requires conscious practice—structured reflection, emotional regulation techniques, nervous system resets, and pressure management rituals—all performed consistently to reinforce mastery and build a dependable foundation for responding to real-world challenges confidently. Step 3: Embrace Micro-Adversity Just as strength grows through controlled stress, resilience grows through micro-adversity—cold exposure, tough conversations, difficult workouts, disciplined routines, and intentional friction designed to strengthen your capacity for discomfort and sharpen your psychological edge. Step 4: Recover Like a Professional Recovery isn't optional—it's strategic. Leaders who fail to schedule recovery confuse burnout for weakness. Proper recovery replenishes energy, restores clarity, reinforces emotional balance, and ensures you can consistently show up with strength when pressure inevitably increases. Step 5: Build a Coaching Environment Even elite athletes need coaches. Leaders who avoid coaching plateau quickly. Coaching accelerates growth by calibrating load, challenge, and perspective, helping you identify blind spots, strengthen performance habits, and stay aligned with high-level leadership standards. This is how you build mental toughness for leaders—reps, reflection, and regulated stress. Real-Life Success Stories I've watched executives transform their leadership capacity the same way athletes transform under the bar. One client came in exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced he was failing. We rebuilt his leadership habits the same way we'd rebuild a lifting program—load management, mental conditioning, energy protocols, emotional hygiene, and progressive challenge. Six months later, he was leading with decisiveness, clarity, and unshakable presence. His team noticed it. His family felt it. His results proved it. Resilient leadership is visible. You don't have to announce it. People feel it. Mistakes to Avoid   Trying to lift everything alone – isolation kills resilience, drains emotional capacity, limits perspective, and slowly erodes your ability to lead with clarity and grounded strength.   Avoiding conflict – conflict is pressure; pressure is training, and sidestepping it prevents growth, weakens influence, reinforces fear-driven behavior, and ultimately diminishes leadership credibility.   Overworking – fatigue without recovery is collapse, and grinding nonstop destroys focus, reduces creativity, impairs decision-making, and trains your nervous system to operate in permanent survival mode.   Being reactive – reactions kill precision and signal instability, creating unnecessary chaos, damaging trust, and undermining the reliability your team depends on during high-pressure moments.   Ignoring feedback – leaders blind to feedback lose their edge, miss critical growth opportunities, repeat avoidable mistakes, disconnect from their people, and gradually fall behind more adaptive competitors. Avoid these mistakes and your capacity will skyrocket. Advanced Strategies for Mastery If you want elite-level resilient leadership, adopt the following practices:   Contrast training: move between high-pressure and calm states intentionally to strengthen adaptability, sharpen cognitive control, and train your nervous system to handle rapid transitions without losing clarity, presence, or emotional stability.   Identity conditioning: see yourself as a resilient leader first—actions follow identity, and reinforcing this self-concept through daily behaviors, rituals, and decisions helps you embody strength even when external circumstances attempt to knock you off center.   Load calibration: weekly reviews of your responsibilities, energy, and emotional weight ensure you’re managing demands intelligently, preventing overload, redistributing pressure effectively, and staying ahead of burnout before it sneaks up and compromises your leadership effectiveness.   Archetype integration: balance Warrior discipline, King vision, Magician strategy, and Lover emotional intelligence by consciously activating each archetype, aligning your behavior with your highest potential, and ensuring no single aspect of your leadership becomes overextended or underdeveloped. This is where resilient leadership becomes a lifestyle, not a skill. Call to Action If you skimmed this, go back. Skimming is fragile behavior. Resilient leadership requires presence, pressure, and precision. If this resonated, it's because you know the truth: the barbell doesn't lie—and neither does your life. You're either growing capacity or losing it. If you're ready to train your resilience like an athlete trains for competition—if you're ready to build the leadership strength your team, your family, and your future demand—then it's time to step up. Sharpen your edge. Elevate your capacity. Book your Power Strategy Session and let's forge your next level. Q&A Section What is resilient leadership? Resilient leadership is the ability to stay composed, decisive, and effective under pressure while navigating complexity and stress. It matters because modern leaders face relentless demands, and without resilience, performance collapses. Imagine trying to lift a heavy barbell without proper training—the weight crushes you. Leadership works the same way. How can I develop resilient leadership skills? By treating resilience like strength training: progressive challenge, intentional stress exposure, structured reflection, emotional regulation, and mentorship. Leaders who integrate these practices rapidly expand capacity and confidence. Why do leaders struggle with resilience? Because most avoid discomfort. Resilience requires deliberate exposure to challenge. When leaders avoid conflict, stress, or hard decisions, they weaken their capacity over time. What is the role of coaching in resilient leadership? Coaching acts like a training program—it provides structure, pressure calibration, feedback, and accountability. Without coaching, leaders plateau. With coaching, they grow faster and sustain results. How does the barbell metaphor apply to leadership under stress? The barbell teaches that strength comes from controlled pressure, repetition, and recovery. Leadership mirrors this exactly. You build capacity by showing up, doing the reps, and leaning into the weight instead of avoiding it. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The 4 Stages of Personal Growth For Personal Success20 Mental Strength Character Traits – Part 2: Warrior Mind Podcast #367Chunking Down To Workable Pieces: Warrior Mind Podcast # 160Risk Taking: Warrior Mind Podcast # 147 11 Tips for Personal Development: Warrior Mind Podcast #324Unlocking the Power of Character Archetypes Through Spirit Animals: A Path to TransformationLife Rules Shape Our Reality- Warrior Mind Podcast #6658 Bold Steps to Stop Living in Fear and Take Control

Send us a textWithout Threase Baker, today's episode would never have happened....Thank you!!!!What happens when the person who commands rooms across continents can't get a 10-year-old to go to bed? We sit down with a former Reebok and Adidas executive who built categories, led massive teams in Asia, and then walked into the hardest leadership arena of his life: his own home. Stripped of titles and certainty in 2020, he discovered how much of his identity depended on work—and how little that meant to his five kids. The result is a raw, hopeful story about presence, humility, and rebuilding trust one small moment at a time.We trace his early years—divorced parents, boarding school, ice hockey and lacrosse as a lifeline—and the unlikely break that took him from door-to-door telecom to designing gear, flying solo to China, and launching Reebok Lacrosse. Then comes the undoing: burnout, a marriage in pain, and a “seeing” that shattered his autopilot. He describes mystical flashes of clarity where he could feel the depth of his children's inner lives and the ache they carried for one simple thing: Dad, do you see me? That question becomes the compass for everything that follows.This conversation is heavy on practicals and light on buzzwords. We break down a kid-led morning system built on Montessori principles that turned chaos into calm. We talk about divorce with uncommon generosity, including the choice to keep a nesting home so the kids stay rooted while parents rotate. We replace guilt with growth, framing hard seasons as nature's pruning—painful, purposeful, and profoundly fertile. And we share simple tests you can run today: a 60-second pause when interrupted, capability charts instead of nagging, a nightly “what did you need from me?” check-in, and one wise friend who can tell you the truth.He now runs Activat8, helping people uncover identity rather than chase another plan. The thesis is bold and freeing: when you know who you are without roles, your presence becomes the safest place in the house. If you've ever wondered how to move from performance to connection, or how to lead a family without a title, this one will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a dad who needs it, and leave a quick review.
