In this first episode of the newly rebranded Fit Fathers Fellowship Podcast, I break down why busy dads don’t fail because of laziness or lack of desire — they fail because they try to do too much without a plan.

If you’re a dad who wants to:

• Get fit without living in the gym

• Stay consistent with workouts, faith, and family

• Build discipline that lasts longer than motivation

• Lead by example for your kids

…this episode is for you.

I share 5 simple, actionable principles to help you create daily non-negotiables you can execute even on your busiest days — covering fitness, faith, nutrition, and habits. You’ll learn how to simplify your plan, attach habits to real-life triggers, track what matters, and stop waiting for the “perfect” plan before taking action.

• Why motivation is unreliable for dads

• How to set 3–5 daily non-negotiables that actually stick

• How to structure workouts around a busy schedule

• Simple fitness, faith, and nutrition habits you can’t talk yourself out of

• Why speed beats perfection every time

Ben also introduces the mission behind Fit Fathers Fellowship — helping dads move with speed, take action, and keep the promises they make to themselves.

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and ready to build real momentum, press play — then pause the episode and take action today.

Set the standard. Stay strong. Lead your family well.
