DADS: Are you stuck in a rut, desperate to shake off bad habits and replace them with healthier ones? Or maybe you want to be a better role model for your kids but just can’t find the time or motivation? It’s so common, and it can be incredibly hard to take the first steps toward positive, long-term change. Our guest, Nick Henry, is a father of four who faced a life-changing whirlwind when he pivoted from single to a full, beautiful blended family seemingly overnight. Now, as the founder of Brolistic, Nick helps men ages 30 to 50 “start over” by building habits that stick. If you’ve been wanting to take action and make some positive changes that impact how you look and feel, don’t miss this episode.

Topics include:
• Navigating a (very) unique path to fatherhood
• The challenges and personal growth that come from learning "on the job" as a dad
• How becoming a father inspired Nick's creation of Brolistic Coaching and shaped a focus on habit-building for men in their 30s and 40s.
• The philosophy that lasting change is about aligning daily actions with the vision of who you want to be.
• Strategies for incremental habit formation for busy dads.
• The importance of accountability in coaching.

Have you ever gotten a text from your kid that made you question, just for a second, whether you’re living in the same reality? Today we’re joined by Chip Leighton, a dad of two and the mastermind behind The Leighton Show, where Chip shares head-scratching texts from his teens and hilarious relationship observations that all parents can relate to. We dive into dad cringe, modern teen vernacular, and why “What time is noon?” might be a more common question than you think.

Topics include:

• The unexpected rise of Chip’s social media content centered around marriage and fatherhood with teenagers.

• Balancing authenticity and humor while respecting children’s privacy and dignity online.

• Chip’s evolution from a traditional corporate career to a creative, second chapter focused on writing and performing.

• Exploring generational shifts in language, communication, and the “vernacular gap” between parents and kids.

• Advice for parents and creators on navigating new media careers and diversified income streams.

• And more!

Stick to the end for a fun quiz on current teen/tween slang!
