Chopping Wood

Chopping Wood is a show about emotional leadership, responsibility, and growth—for men who want to do better, love better, and lead better.

Hosted by psychotherapist, author, and relationship expert Jack A. Daniels, this show speaks directly to good men who know they have more work to do—and to women who want to understand men without sugarcoating or excuses.

Each episode breaks down the psychology behind commitment, avoidance, resentment, masculinity, emotional safety, and modern relationships—without blaming women, shaming men, or watering down the truth.

“Chopping Wood” is a metaphor for: the daily, sometimes uncomfortable inner work required to become a better man:

• Taking responsibility instead of deflecting

• Choosing consistency over intensity

• Building emotional strength instead of hiding behind ego

• Learning how to lead yourself before trying to lead a relationship

This is not dating advice.

This is identity work.

If you’re a man who wants to stop repeating the same patterns…

If you’re a woman tired of trying to “figure men out”…

If you believe relationships work best when men are emotionally mature and women don’t have to carry the load—

You’re in the right place.

Come sharpen your axe.

The work matters.

Let's Chop this Wood.

Host

Jack A. Daniels

I’m Jack A. Daniels (and yes—that’s my real name).

I’m not here to talk about your problems. I’m here to help you break through them.

I’m a husband, a dad of girl triplets, a psychotherapist, 5-time bestselling author, award-winning speaker, and media personality. For decades, I’ve helped people get unstuck in love, relationships, purpose, and life—not with hype, but with truth, tools and responsibility.

You may know me as the former host of A&E’s #BlackLove, or from my work with leaders, Fortune 500 companies, and 1000's of men and women done repeating the same patterns.

Today, I’m the founder of Chopping Wood—a movement focused on masculine emotional mastery and the creator of The Good Men Club and Mixibles, platforms built to restore clarity, leadership and intentional connection.

If you’re here, you’re ready for more than motivation.

You’re ready for direction.

That’s what I do.
