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.
Subscribe for weekly episodes on grit, growth, and the truth about being a man today.
