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.
