Dads Against the Narrative
Dads Against the Narrative | Leadership, Liberty, & Legacy
Stop raising kids for a system that doesn’t value them.
Dad’s Against the Narrative is the podcast for fathers who refuse to follow the status quo. We aren't interested in the "standard" parenting advice that leads to weak families and distracted lives. We explore the unconventional paths to leadership, homeschooling, physical fitness, and mental toughness.
Hosted by a father on a mission to reclaim the family unit, this show dives deep into the topics the mainstream narrative ignores:
• Family Leadership: How to become the rock your household needs.
• Alternative Education: Why homeschooling is the ultimate tool for freedom.
• Unconventional Living: Breaking free from the 9-to-5 grind and the "consumer" mindset.
• Critical Thinking: Challenging the lies regarding health, history, and the future of our children.
Whether we’re talking to experts in sovereign living or sharing raw stories of fatherhood in the trenches, our goal is simple: to help you build a legacy that lasts.
It’s time to stop complaining and start leading.
Join us as we rip up the script and build a better future for the next generation.

10. Travis Stoetzel - Building Legacy Through Fitness
In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative hosts Jack and Nate welcome guest Travis Stoetzel (aka Forged Fatherhood) to explore his transformation from a corporate fitness job to building The Forge Athlete Gym and a remote coaching empire.
The conversation delves into "red pill" moments of risk-taking, the intersection of faith and discipline, and how consistent routines like Travis's "AM, Rise, and Conquer" blend physical fitness with spiritual growth.
They discuss breaking free from limiting mindsets, the challenges of living abroad, family perceptions, and accountability strategies in coaching. Emphasizing that "everything is earned," the episode highlights fitness as a catalyst for personal development, better relationships, and heart-led fatherhood, while encouraging dads to question norms and pursue intentional growth.
Don't just listen—take action.
