Description

Are you “hitting the gym for mental release”… but still feel stuck, stressed, and disconnected at home? In this episode, Travis Goodman and Marcus Filly (Functional Bodybuilding) break down purpose-driven training—how to stop using workouts as an escape and start building real strength, confidence, energy, and presence that carry into fatherhood, marriage, and leadership.

We dig into:

  • The provider trap: why high-achieving men sacrifice health, then run on fumes
  • Functional Bodybuilding and training with intention (not box-checking)
  • How to turn fitness into a portal for purpose, not avoidance
  • From dad bod to durable confidence—without dropping balls at work or home
  • The power of male community & accountability (and why going solo fails)
  • Practical fixes: effort, focus, recovery, and habit design that actually stick

If you’re a man, dad, or leader who “has it together” on paper but feels adrift or depleted, this conversation is your blueprint to train smarter, live fuller, and show up stronger—for yourself and the people who matter.
