Train With Your Kids. Be Useful. Be Uncommon.In this episode, I sat down with my brother Ben Barker (@benbarkerfitness)—the original Alpha Dad—to talk fatherhood, fitness, and what it really means to lead at home.We broke down what most men won’t admit:You don’t have a time problem.You have a priority problem.Ben shared how cutting Netflix and auditing his phone time created the space to show up stronger—for his wife, his kids, and his mission. We jammed on flexible training schedules, building a family-friendly garage gym, balancing ambition with presence, and why tracking your workouts, food, and finances isn’t optional if you want to build a legacy.We also got into:🔥 Why strength = usefulness in a crisis🔥 How to train with your kids so they naturally emulate your habits🔥 The difference between “fitness as hobby” and “fitness as service”🔥 Why mobility, protein, and long walks are the real flex🔥 And how one message—Train With Your Kids—could change everythingThis one’s packed with practical wisdom, dad banter, and the kind of fire that’ll get you off the couch and back in the arena.Chapters00:00 The Journey to Becoming an Alpha Dad02:47 Balancing Responsibilities and Self-Care05:51 The Importance of Fitness in Fatherhood08:52 Creating a Supportive Family Fitness Environment11:42 Making Tough Cuts for a Healthier Life14:06 The Role of Fitness in Community and Family17:13 Practical Steps to Start Your Fitness Journey19:58 Nutrition: The Key to Fitness Success22:54 The Long-Term Benefits of Fitness25:33 Final Thoughts on Training with Kids
