The Leadership Shift That Changes Your Marriage and Your Kids
About this episode
In this solo episode, I share what's coming in March inside the Dad Edge Alliance, including a full breakdown of how we're helping dads move from authoritarian parenting to grounded leadership and collaboration. I also announce The Men's Forge live event, the next Roommates to Soulmates cohort, and highlight an incredible 1st Phorm transformation story from inside our community.
If you've been feeling the drift — in your parenting, your marriage, your energy, or your leadership — this episode is your reset.

- Intimacy fades when emotional leadership is missing at home.
- Transformation accelerates in community, not isolation.
