What are your kids learning from what you do, not just what you tell them?

Chris Avery believes becoming a dad shouldn’t mean shelving your dreams. It should mean learning how to pursue meaningful things alongside your family and letting your kids see the struggle, failure, repair, and growth that come with it.

👨‍👧 Why kids need to see their dads fail, apologize, and try again
🗣️ Helping your kids develop a voice without pretending Dad is always right
🤝 Reframing conflict from you vs. me to us vs. the problem
🧠 Practicing difficult conversations before the next one happens
🎯 Why fewer priorities can actually produce more progress
💪 Building trust with yourself by doing what you said you’d do
🏃 How one mile a day eventually became a plan to run 50K every day for a year
📈 Why progress often comes from doing something ordinary just a little longer
❤️ Making room for one-on-one time with your kids
🔥 Why doing hard things can change how you see yourself

Chris’s approach is refreshingly unglamorous: start small enough that you actually believe you can do it, extend the timeline, and keep showing up.

Chris is a husband, father, coach, and endurance athlete. Beginning January 1, 2027, he plans to run 31.1 miles per day for 365 consecutive days, tracing the perimeter of the United States while traveling with his family.
