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.

22. The 2026 Blueprint: Wins, Losses, and the Art of "Keeping It Simple" with Devin Linder
It’s time to cut through the noise and the empty resolutions. In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, Jack Nofel and Devin Linder strip away the clichés of "New Year, New Me" to talk about what actually drives growth: Wins, Losses, and Mastering the Mundane.
We reflect on the highs and lows of 2025—from major family moves and health scares to business struggles and fitness injuries—and how every "loss" was just a lesson in disguise. If you’re tired of starting over every January, this episode is your wake-up call to stop resolving and start evolving.
In this episode, we cover:
• Win or Learn: Why your losses in 2025 are the fuel for your 2026 success.
• Mastering the Mundane: Why real growth happens in the boring, daily habits (clean your room, drink your water!).
• Marriage & Emotional Intelligence: How to stop competing with your wife’s emotions, hold space as a leader, and bring intimacy back to the forefront.
• The "Keep It Simple, Stupid" Rule: Stripping away the complexity of self-care and fatherhood to focus on the basics that work.
• Setting a Motto, Not a Resolution: Why you need a code to live by, not just a list of wishes.
This isn't about becoming a different person; it's about showing up as the man, father, and husband you were always meant to be. Let’s get to work.
