Welcome to another episode of The Dads Gym—where we provide dad advice for building a strong mind, body, and family. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of shaping your character.

Drawing from ancient Stoic teachings, we explore Chrysippus’ analogy of the cylinder and the cone, showing how our inner “shape” determines how we respond to life’s events. Just like these objects roll down a hill in different ways due to their nature, our character shapes how we react to the world around us. By reflecting on our core values and virtues, we can actively work on developing a strong, resilient shape that leads to better decisions and aligns with the kind of dad, husband, and person we want to be.

I’ll walk you through practical steps you can take to develop your character, from setting your values to taking actions that reflect them. This journey of personal growth, just like working out at the gym, requires commitment and effort—but the rewards are worth it.

Join me as we explore how to strengthen our character and make progress toward becoming the best version of ourselves.

What are some ways you are developing your own shapes?
