Ever feel like you’re sprinting toward your goals only to crash hard?

You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Evolved Dad Shortcast, I break down why life as a Dad is less of a sprint and more of a marathon.

We’ll talk about setting a realistic baseline, building habits that actually last, and avoiding the burnout trap.

Whether it’s push-ups, reading, or just showing up better for your kids, the key isn’t doing it all at once - it’s starting small, building slow, and creating a foundation you can actually keep.

After more than 100 weeks of showing up, I’m pressing pause.

This isn’t goodbye - it’s a moment to breathe, reflect, and set up for something even bigger.

In this episode, I share why growth often means stepping back, what the climb has taught me, and why your next peak might be closer than you think.

Summer may be ending, but the memories don't have to fade.

Join me as I delve into the art of preserving those cherished moments and making them a part of your daily life.

Learn how to create a life filled with joy and connection, no matter the time of year.

If you're a great Dad or aspire to be one - it's time to capture the moment before the inspiration disappears.

When my computer crashed, it wasn’t just an inconvenience - it was a moment of clarity.

In this deeply personal episode, I unpack how our knee-jerk reactions to life’s disruptions can quietly shape our kids’ emotional DNA.

Are you unintentionally handing your children the very struggles you’re still trying to outgrow?

This episode challenges you to stop the snowball and shift the story - for yourself and for them.

This episode is for every dad who’s ever felt like they were climbing, only to slip.

I share a personal story about momentum, setbacks, and the quiet power of starting over - again.

From missed workouts and lost routines to a computer crash that could’ve derailed everything, this one's a real-life reminder: consistency isn’t perfection.

It’s the choice to keep going even when the timing sucks.

If you’ve hit a wall lately, this episode might be the nudge you need.

You ever feel like you're failing as a dad just because you're tired?

This episode is for you.

Jonathan drops the truth about busy seasons, burnout, and the pressure to always show up at 100%. The reality? Sometimes 10% is all you’ve got—and that’s okay.

This isn’t a motivational pep talk—it’s a permission slip to be human, while still showing up with heart. Tune in for two practical mindsets that help you stay connected with your kids… even when life is chaos.

Ever feel like you’re growing… and then suddenly you’re back where you started?

Like all the progress just slipped through your fingers?

This episode unpacks a pattern most of us don’t talk about—but every dad hits at some point.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why am I still dealing with this?”—this one’s for you.

You’re not failing. But there is something you need to face.

Are we raising our kids... or running experiments?

In this raw, unfiltered rant, I’m calling out the obsession with parenting labels—gentle, authoritative, free-range, helicopter - you name it.

We've boxed ourselves in trying to “pick the right style” instead of doing the real work: learning, adapting, and actually knowing our kids.

This episode isn’t about tearing down ideas. It’s about freeing yourself from the need to follow anyone else’s blueprint.

Because your kids aren’t lab rats.
They’re your legacy.
