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.

17. Escaping the Digital Matrix: Real Growth for Dads with Pat Barber
Pat Barber from The Fathers Guild joins the show!
In this thought-provoking episode of Dads Against the Narrative, co-hosts Jack Nofel & Devin Linder sit down with guest Pat Barber for a raw, unfiltered conversation on personal growth, fatherhood, and navigating life's challenges in a digital age. The trio dives deep into "red pill moments" that shattered their preconceived notions— from debunking nutrition myths and mastering anger in parenting to experimenting with extreme diets like veganism and alternative practices like ayahuasca for self-discovery. They stress the fundamentals of well-being: prioritizing diet, sleep, training, and introspection before chasing esoteric trends, while warning against echo chambers fueled by social media algorithms that stifle open-mindedness.
Reflecting on respectful male discourse, the guests emphasize challenging beliefs, owning actions, and investing in oneself amid criticism. The episode wraps with forward-looking ideas, including Pat's off-grid retreats, Jack's Warrior Kid Club for building discipline in young families, Devin's life coaching on daily habits, and brainstorming a nonprofit for mentoring at-risk youth—especially adolescent males in inner cities—through genuine, heart-centered guidance.
Whether you're a dad seeking balance, a seeker of truth, or someone questioning the status quo, this episode inspires actionable steps toward meaningful change, authenticity, and community-building.
Don't just listen—take action.
