Most guys spend all their focus on mornings, workouts, and hitting the gym… but here’s the brutal truth: your transformation isn’t made during the day — it’s made at night. How you end your day determines how well you recover, how your hormones balance, how your muscles rebuild, and how much energy you wake up with tomorrow.In this episode, I’m breaking down the Evening Protocol — a simple, 5-minute routine that optimizes your recovery, your sleep, and your entire transformation cycle. This isn’t about spending hours or taking random supplements. It’s about giving your body exactly what it needs while you sleep to repair, rebuild, and come back stronger the next day.We’re covering the core ingredients and strategies that most men overlook:Fiber+ — to stabilize blood sugar, improve digestion, and prevent bloating overnight.Ashwagandha 600mg — to lower stress, regulate cortisol, support testosterone, and improve sleep quality.Vitamin D3 + K2 — critical for hormone production, muscle function, and overall health.Magnesium Absorb — to relax your nervous system, improve sleep, aid recovery, and regulate blood sugar.Cort-Eaze — a plant-based cortisol-regulating blend to help you relax and resist everyday pressures.I’ll walk you step-by-step through my exact evening protocol: how to wind down, set up your bedroom for optimal sleep, take your evening supplements, and create a habit that guarantees deep, restorative sleep. You’ll learn how to track your progress, compare Day 1 to Day 7, and see results fast.If you’ve been going through the motions, feeling drained, waking up unrefreshed, or sabotaging your recovery without even realizing it — this episode will give you the tools to take control of your nights, so your days actually matter.This is your blueprint for total 24-hour optimization: wake up ready, recover like a pro, and build the body, energy, and performance you actually want.Start tonight. Your body will recover better. Your sleep will improve. Your transformation will accelerate. 👉 TAKE MY FREE METABOLIC QUIZ HERE! 💪 Stay Connected with Dad Bod Sculptors➤ Follow on Instagram: @dadbod_sculptors➤ Connect with me on Linkedin➤ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel 🔥 Official Partners & SponsorsOptimize your health with the exact tools we use in the Dad Bod Sculptors system:HD Muscle Supplements — Get Elite Protein, Supplements and Vitamins (Use code: DADBOD)Elev8 Cream of Rice — My go-to for clean, high-performance carbs.

This one’s gonna sting a bit, but it’s one every father needs to hear.In this episode, Dane drops a truth bomb about real leadership at home. He shares why he fired his kids’ judo and jiu-jitsu coaches, not because they were bad, but because his boys weren’t executing. They were showing up, but not doing the work. And that’s the trap too many dads fall into: thinking that signing up equals showing up.Dane breaks down the uncomfortable truth that coaching doesn’t create greatness, execution does. You can buy every lesson, program, and piece of gear, but if the effort’s missing, it’s just expensive babysitting. He challenges fathers to stop outsourcing accountability and start embodying the standards they preach.Five years ago, Dane admits he couldn’t have made that call, because he wasn’t living it himself. But once he raised his own standards, in his body, discipline, and mindset, he could finally lead from the front.This episode isn’t about sports. It’s about legacy. About showing your kids that excellence is earned, not bought. That “showing up” isn’t enough without execution. And that the standard you live is the standard they learn.You’ll walk away convicted, inspired, and maybe a little uncomfortable, because that’s what growth feels like.Fatherhood isn’t about keeping your kids comfortable. It’s about preparing them for life.Hold the line. Model the standard. Lead from the front.Burn the excuses. Build the man. Be the standard. 👉 TAKE MY FREE METABOLIC QUIZ HERE! 💪 Stay Connected with Dad Bod Sculptors➤ Follow on Instagram: @dadbod_sculptors➤ Connect with me on Linkedin➤ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel 🔥 Official Partners & SponsorsOptimize your health with the exact tools we use in the Dad Bod Sculptors system:HD Muscle Supplements — Get Elite Protein, Supplements and Vitamins (Use code: DADBOD)Elev8 Cream of Rice — My go-to for clean, high-performance carbs.

Most men don’t fail in the gym, they fail in the mirror.In this brutally honest episode, Dane dives into the Mirror Test, a gut-check every man needs but most avoid. Because the truth is, your reflection doesn’t lie… but you do.It’s not about vanity. It’s about awareness.You didn’t wake up forty pounds heavier overnight, it happened slowly, one skipped workout and one “I’ll start Monday” at a time. Over time, your brain adjusted. You stopped noticing the decline. You looked in the mirror and saw what you wanted to see, not what’s really there.Dane exposes how men lie to themselves, sucking in their gut, finding the best lighting, telling themselves “it’s not that bad.” He explains why progress photos and objective data (like weight, waist size, and energy levels) are the only way to cut through the illusion. And he breaks down how body dysmorphia doesn’t just mean seeing yourself worse than you are, for most men, it’s the opposite. They see themselves better than they actually are.You’ll learn how to use the mirror as feedback instead of validation, why comfort is killing your self-awareness, and how to take back control through brutal honesty and action.If you’re ready to stop lying to yourself, face reality, and rebuild from the truth, this episode will shake you awake.Your move: Take the Dad Bod Assessment Quiz at DadBodSculptors.com and get a real plan built on data, not denial.Face the truth.

In this episode, Dane gets real about the Dad Tax the invisible price your kids pay when you settle for “good enough.” It’s not about money or time. It’s about the habits, mindset, and example your kids inherit from you every single day.They’re watching everything what you eat, how you handle stress, whether you follow through on your word, and how you treat their mom. You’re teaching them what leadership, discipline, and manhood look like… without ever saying a word.Dane breaks down what the real Dad Tax costs low energy, poor health, broken confidence, and generational cycles of mediocrity but also what happens when you flip the script. When you choose to lead by example, your kids don’t just hear your words they see integrity in motion.You’ll walk away from this episode challenged to look in the mirror and ask yourself: “What kind of man am I modeling for my kids?”Because energy isn’t found it’s built. And leadership starts at home.If this episode hits home, share it with another father who needs the reminder that his body and habits are shaping the next generation.🔥 Ready to stop paying the Dad Tax and start building a legacy your kids can follow?Your kids don’t need a perfect dad.They need a dad who leads from example. 👉 TAKE MY FREE METABOLIC QUIZ HERE! 💪 Stay Connected with Dad Bod Sculptors➤ Follow on Instagram: @dadbod_sculptors➤ Connect with me on Linkedin➤ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel 🔥 Official Partners & SponsorsOptimize your health with the exact tools we use in the Dad Bod Sculptors system:HD Muscle Supplements — Get Elite Protein, Supplements and Vitamins (Use code: DADBOD)Elev8 Cream of Rice — My go-to for clean, high-performance carbs.

This one hits home.In this episode, Dane gets brutally honest about something most men never think about the Dad Tax. It’s not money. It’s the invisible price your kids pay every time you neglect your health, break your promises to yourself, or settle for “good enough.”Your kids are watching everything you do what you eat, how you move, how you talk about yourself, and how you show up when life gets hard. Every choice is teaching them something about discipline, resilience, and self-respect.Dane breaks down what the Dad Tax really costs from your kids inheriting poor habits and low energy to watching their father quietly give up. But he also shares the other side: what happens when you transform. When you take ownership of your health, your kids don’t just see a physical change they see a new standard. A model of strength, consistency, and leadership.You’ll hear real stories from fathers who’ve flipped the script men who went from exhaustion and shame to becoming living examples of discipline and energy for their kids. Their families didn’t just witness transformation… they caught it.This isn’t about guilt it’s about legacy. Because every rep, every meal, every choice is writing your family story.Your kids don’t need a perfect dad.They need a dad who shows them what it looks like to rise. 👉 TAKE MY FREE METABOLIC QUIZ HERE! 💪 Stay Connected with Dad Bod Sculptors➤ Follow on Instagram: @dadbod_sculptors➤ Connect with me on Linkedin➤ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel 🔥 Official Partners & SponsorsOptimize your health with the exact tools we use in the Dad Bod Sculptors system:HD Muscle Supplements — Get Elite Protein, Supplements and Vitamins (Use code: DADBOD)Elev8 Cream of Rice — My go-to for clean, high-performance carbs.

Most guys think transformation is all about macros, meal prep, and workouts. But the hidden force shaping your results isn’t on your plate or in your program  it’s sitting right next to you. In this powerful episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane goes deep on the “Proximity Principle” and shows you why your circle of influence quietly determines your standards, your habits, and ultimately your destiny.Starting with 2 Corinthians 6:14, you’ll discover how the people closest to you either normalize discipline or normalize excuses; how their patterns, language, and values get mirrored in your own behavior; and why you can’t out-train the environment you live in.
