My son asked if I could hold him.

"Not piggyback ride or on your shoulders... Like I'm little" he said

"Get up here" I said.

We were waiting for 2 hours in line at Disney world for a Star Wars ride.

🛡️Everyday I'm on a mission to be present and to provide warmth, light, and love to my family.

To do that is a constant internal battle and process of revealing my true self.

I can only be present today if I'm not worried about tomorrow.

I can only truly show love to others if I love myself.

I can only provide my best model for husband and father if I build myself into the best man I can become.

There is so much to living.

If you're not intentional every single day you might miss it.

I've been the father in this carousel.

I once asked my son to do something. He barely tried. I got annoyed, then sarcastically told him exactly how to do it. Meanwhile, I set my alarm that morning to wake up and go to the gym, then didn't.

He wasn't learning the task. He was learning that dad's standard only points outward.

Your kids don't hear lectures. They watch patterns.

The guilt you feel when you correct them for something you do yourself doesn't leave with another promise. It leaves when you change.

That's the work inside Men of Fire. Not parenting scripts. The man underneath.

This is hard to swallow for a lot of men but it's the truth.

You are not the man you used to be. You are the man you are today.

That doesn't mean what you did in the past doesn't count. Doesn't mean it doesn't have value. It doesn't mean you didn't impact people and change their lives and change the world. It just means that today you're a different person. You have different habits, different levels of discomfort. You're willing to push yourself to a different level of self-control and discipline.

The problem is, if you're a guy who used to be disciplined and go after life, that part of you might not be ready to hang it up and get complacent like the rest of the world.

You have the world telling you to slow down and get fat but that inner warrior telling you to live life to your standard not theirs.

You already know what to do to get in shape but your personal standards have changed. Your identity has changed. Stop focusing on the what and focus on the who.

I spent three weeks in an RV with my family one month ago.

I’ll never forget the morning we thought our keys got thrown away in the camp dumpster and our trip would be ruined. Or spending half a day changing brakes, or the oven breaking, or bikes falling off the RV, or taking a mountain road to save on tolls and realizing what a bad idea that was as we were driving straight up a mountain.

It was crazy. It was chaotic. It was cramped, loud, and nothing went to plan.
But it was full of joy.

Ten years from now I won't remember losing our deposit on the RV… I'll remember my family laughing late into the night around the campfire.

There will always be a reason to wait for a calmer season. The calmer season is a lie. This is the season. The madness is the memory.

Embrace the beauty and the madness. We will miss it soon enough.

One thing is true: the chaos will end. Make sure you don’t miss it while it is here.

My son was watching TV this morning and I asked "Want to go to the gym with me?" Yes! He jumped up, grabbed his Rising Father shirt and busted his butt for 60 minutes. We also did 30 minutes on the incline treadmill.

A father takes his children with him, wherever his life leads. Either to the couch, or to the gym.

Ammar sat in front of a camera at our retreat and told his whole story. On purpose, so fathers like you could hear it.

A few years ago his father passed. The drinking that was already there went to another level, and stayed there. His kids watched the fights. His wife had enough.

Then he watched a friend inside Men of Fire change, week after week. He got on a call with me and signed up in 20 minutes.

Everything climbed-twenty pounds down, present with his kids for the first time in his life. Then, in his words: "Boom. It all came crashing down. I was at rock bottom."

Here's the part that matters. The old Ammar would restart, disappear for a month, wait for a Monday. The new Ammar told his brothers exactly what happened. A man he'd never even met in person sent him a five-minute video sharing his own darkest story. "It made me feel like somebody cares about me."

Then he went back to work. No clean slate. No fresh start. The next right choice, then the next one.
Today, his words: "My wife is happy. Our relationship is probably the best it's ever been. I'm present with my kids."

You don't need another Monday. You need what Ammar has 🛡️ a brotherhood that won't let you disappear.

Everyone knows what to do to change.

I knew what to do.

Don't drink, eat less, workout, drink more water....

But I couldn't get myself to do it.

It's not knowledge that keeps people stuck or takes them from disciplined to sloppy.

It's deep psychological and emotional blockages they've built up.

It's the words they use.

The stories they're telling themselves.

The people they surround themselves with.

Their inner belief.

Shame that's adding weight to their daily lives.

Downloading a PDF of exercises is one thing.

Breaking this wall down will cause your entire life to explode.

You're no longer holding a beach ball underwater using all of your energy and focus.

This is what we do in my program menoffire

This is why when guys shed their weight they also quit p***, booze, turn into leaders of their family, and reshape their marriage.

We focus on being a better man and cutting anchors from our life.

Drop your anchors and rise.

This is a lie you will hear constantly when you are trying to rebuild yourself...

"Why are you working so hard? You're getting up early, you're going to the gym. You're not eating or drinking as much. You're not partying as much. You're not scrolling so much. You're watching less TV."

As you get disciplined you start to give up things that give you immediate pleasure for things that give you long-term peace. People who are undisciplined see that as hard but I've been on the other side of it. I know what's truly hard.

If you're a man who let himself go and knows he could be more, every single day is hard. You're promising yourself today will be the day you change and then you break that promise. You do the same thing every single day for years. It's like Groundhogs Day.

You're motivated then disgusted, inspired then shamed. You never get consistent. You never reach that inner feeling of satisfaction. That is hell. That is 100 times harder than being disciplined and consistent every single day. I know it for myself and I know it from guys in my coaching program, Men of Fire.

This isn't a "get shredded for a few months" program. This is an identity-level transformation. My goal is that my men stay disciplined when they leave me because this is who they are now. I've got guys who've been in my group for 3 years now. I've got veterans of my group who regularly travel the world for business while waking up at 4 or 5 am, working out every day, eating healthy, and showing up for their family. It's now who they are. That's the life we want.
