Most dads are running on fumes—racing through the day, snapping at their kids, disconnected from their wives, and wondering why the hell they feel so off.

In this episode, I sit down with Todd Steinberg, co-founder of Komuso Design, to unpack a simple but powerful truth: If you want to become a better father, you have to slow down.

We explore:

• How a literal Dunkin’ straw changed Todd’s life and led to the creation of a breathwork tool used by Navy SEALs, Wall Street execs, and overwhelmed dads alike

• The difference between preventative and rescue breathing—and how to use both to stop losing your sh*t

• Why most men are stuck in stress loops and how breath + brotherhood can break the cycle

• How to build a "base stance" to meet chaos with calm instead of reactivity

• And what it really means to pass down a legacy of presence, discipline, and clarity to your kids

This isn’t woo-woo. It’s physiology, mindset, and ancient wisdom turned into real-world tools that can change your life—and your family’s trajectory.
