Dad Bod Sculptors Podcast

He ties in Dr. Joe Dispenza’s groundbreaking research to show how your past programming is shaping your future and how to finally break free from it.You’ll discover five daily habits that shift you out of survival mode and into creation mode simple, repeatable actions that elevate your vibration, rewire your brain, and rebuild your body. This is the formula for lasting transformation: raise your energy, align with the man you want to become, and take action from that higher state.If you’ve been stuck in frustration, self-sabotage, or “low-vibration” living this episode gives you the playbook to change your reality from the inside out.Elevate your energy. Transform your reality.Burn the excuses. Build the man.

Winning doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t care how much effort you put in yesterday, how many hours you’ve worked, or how much you think you “deserve” it. Winning is ruthless it only asks one question: Are you willing to keep going when everything inside of you says quit?In this powerful episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane unpacks five of the hardest truths about winning from Tim Grover’s book Winning. These truths hit different because they don’t just apply to business or sports they apply to your health, your body, your marriage, your role as a father, and your entire life as a man.You’ll hear why winning demands everything and gives nothing back until you’ve paid the price. Why it’s addictive but never permanent forcing you to re-earn it daily.Why the real growth happens in the dark, when nobody’s watching, clapping, or cheering you on. Why winning will first break you mentally, physically, and spiritually before it rebuilds you into a man you didn’t think was possible. And why winning never lies, exposing the raw truth about what you’ve really been putting in.Dane also shares the real story of a client who was on the edge of quitting just weeks into his transformation overwhelmed, exhausted, and convinced he couldn’t do it. But instead of giving in, he pushed through that breaking point and came out thirty-five pounds lighter, infinitely more confident, and with a new identity as a man who doesn’t quit.That’s the difference between men who win and men who stay stuck: one set pushes through when it hurts, and the other keeps making excuses.This isn’t about hype. It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about facing the uncomfortable truth that most men spend years negotiating with the process instead of committing to it. They say they want to win but they’re not willing to pay the price winning demands.If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting and quitting, hoping for shortcuts, or waiting for motivation to save you this episode is your wake-up call. The truths Dane shares will challenge you, sharpen you, and, if you’re willing, force you to finally step into the man you know you’re capable of becoming.Winning isn’t loyal. It doesn’t care about your excuses. But if you’re ready to stop playing games, stop settling, and start executing it will reward you with everything you’ve ever wanted.Burn the excuses. Build the man.

In this episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane dives into one of the heaviest truths successful men rarely talk about: the burden of being the strong one. You’re the rock for your wife, your kids, your employees, your friends but when the weight gets too heavy, who’s strong for you?This episode unpacks the silent struggle of isolation that leaders, providers, and high-performers face when they convince themselves that asking for help is weakness.Dane exposes the dangerous cycle: the more pressure you handle, the stronger you look… which only brings more problems your way, leaving you even more isolated. Until one day, the weight is too much, and you don’t even know how to ask for help.But here’s the shift you don’t have to carry it all alone.Dane shares why your circle determines your ceiling, and how surrounding yourself with men on the same path transforms not just your fitness, but your leadership, your confidence, and your ability to handle life’s heaviest loads. Vulnerability, when shared with the right brothers, becomes power.You’ll hear stories of men who’ve been broken but rebuilt stronger, and you’ll see how iron truly sharpens iron inside a brotherhood that doesn’t tolerate excuses, only growth.From weekly calls to live events, Dane shows how Dad Bod Sculptors is more than a body transformation program it’s a tribe built for men who refuse to settle for isolation.If you’re tired of carrying the weight of being the strong one alone, this episode is your call to step into a circle that will push you, protect you, and sharpen you. Because true strength isn’t about carrying everything yourself it’s about knowing who’s carrying it with you.Burn the excuses. Build the man.

In this powerful episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane tackles one of the biggest lies keeping men stuck: the belief that monotony is boring, painful, or pointless.So many guys start strong hyped up by motivation, fired up by results but the second things feel repetitive, they fall off. Same meals. Same workouts. Same daily routine.And suddenly, they’re telling themselves, “I can’t do this anymore.”But here’s the truth: monotony isn’t the enemy. Monotony is where the magic happens. It’s the grind that carves discipline into your character. It’s the structure that frees you from chaos. It’s the repetition that builds mastery, strength, and confidence not just in the gym, but in life.Dane unpacks why your brain resists repetition, how culture trains us to chase dopamine hits instead of delayed gratification, and why the very thing most men run from the routine is the exact thing that will set them free.He shares how to reframe the daily grind, so it stops feeling like a prison sentence and starts feeling like a gift: proof that you’re becoming the man who shows up, no matter what.This isn’t just about weights, macros, or training splits. It’s about building a mindset that can carry you through the seasons when motivation disappears. Because the truth is, average men quit when it gets boring.Disciplined men thrive in it. And that difference is what creates lasting transformation not just for your body, but for your marriage, your fatherhood, and your legacy.If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of routine and wondered if it’s worth it, this episode will flip that script and show you why monotony isn’t the obstacle it’s the way. 👉 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.

In this powerful episode of Dad Bod Sculptors, Dane tackles the growing Ozempic epidemic head-on and exposes the dangerous mentality it’s creating in men. With celebrities like Serena Williams openly claiming that natural weight loss isn’t possible, millions are being conditioned to believe dependency is the new normal. But shortcuts like Ozempic don’t just fail your body they sabotage your character, discipline, and long-term growth as a man.Dane breaks down exactly what Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs really do, why so many people are rushing to them for quick fixes, and the dark side nobody wants to admit: the second you stop, the weight comes back because nothing inside of you actually changed.You didn’t learn discipline. You didn’t build habits. You didn’t earn the strength to maintain the results.This episode draws a clear line between chemical dependency and performance optimization.Dane explains how foundation-first tools like proper training, sustainable nutrition, and stress management create a man who can carry the weight of leadership and how optimization strategies like TRT or peptides can amplify that. But when you try to use drugs like Ozempic as a replacement for discipline, you’re just painting over a cracked foundation.The message is simple but critical: the number on the scale doesn’t define you the man you become in the process does. Transformation is about building capacity, not escaping discomfort. Shortcuts rob you of the very challenges that forge resilience, confidence, and the ability to serve your family from strength instead of survival mode.If you’ve ever been tempted by quick fixes, this episode will remind you why the process matters more than the outcome and why becoming the man who doesn’t need shortcuts is the real victory. 👉 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.

I brought in my wife, the real boss of the house, to share exactly what it was like living with me before I transformed my health, confidence, and discipline… and what happened once I finally decided to get my life together.We open up about the “before” version of me the guy who had low energy, poor self-image, a short fuse, and a long list of excuses and how that showed up in our marriage, intimacy, parenting, and daily life.She gets brutally honest about how my choices were affecting not just me, but her and our kids, and what it felt like to wonder if I’d ever change.You’ll hear the turning point moment when she realized this time was different, the subtle changes she noticed before the physical results even showed up, and the way those early wins started to rebuild connection and respect between us. We also talk about the ripple effect a man’s transformation has on his entire household, from how he communicates to the energy he brings into the home.She shares why she launched Mom Bod Sculptors to help wives and partners of men on this journey, and how powerful it is when a couple gets on the same page about health, discipline, and the example they’re setting for their kids. We give practical next steps for husbands, wives, and couples who want to start working toward a shared vision without nagging, resistance, or resentment.This isn’t just about building muscle or losing weight.
