In this episode, we share how we've approached screen time with our kids over the past 13 years and why we've made choices that go against what most families do. We talk about what we've observed in our own children when we limit their exposure to screens, phones, and devices - and what we've noticed in ourselves when we've made changes to our own habits.

What We Cover:

• Why we decided early on to take a different path with technology
• The alternatives we've found that actually work (Yoto players, audiobooks, outdoor time)
• How we handle the peer pressure and "but everyone else gets to" conversations
• What we do when we do allow screen time (blue light glasses, specific content choices)
• Why we think the morning sunlight and outdoor time matters more than most people realize
• How our own relationship with phones and screens affects our kids

Our Practical Approach:

• What we use instead of iPads for entertainment
• The compromise we've found for necessary technology
• Why we think the bar is set too low for what kids actually need
• What we've learned about our kids' attention spans and creativity when screens aren't an option

We're not trying to convince anyone to do exactly what we do, but we wanted to share what we've discovered works for our families. Sometimes the path that feels harder upfront ends up being the easier one in the long run.

In our first Q&A episode, we dive into real questions from listeners covering the full spectrum of fatherhood challenges. From creative workout solutions (like front squats with toddlers in carriers) to the brutal transition from one to two kids, we share honest insights from our own parenting journeys.

Key topics we cover:

• Practical fitness advice for busy dads, including HIIT workouts at home and using kid carriers for resistance training
• The reality check of going from one to two children - why it's often the hardest transition
• Vision improvement through reduced screen time and increased natural sunlight exposure
• A candid discussion about pornography addiction, addressing the underlying emotional triggers and offering practical strategies for recovery
• How our spiritual journeys have shaped our approach to fatherhood and family life

Topics discussed may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion advised.

In this episode of Leave No Doubt Fatherhood, we break down five critical fitness benchmarks that every father should be able to achieve.

Why It Matters: Beyond looking good, these milestones directly impact your ability to play with your kids, protect your family in emergencies, age gracefully, and maintain quality of life as a father. We share personal stories about having to sprint after runaway dogs, carry kids to catch trains, and handle unexpected situations that required real physical capability.

Key Takeaways:

• These aren't about becoming an elite athlete - they're beginner-level benchmarks
• Most men can't do these when starting out, and that's normal
• Each milestone can be scaled up or down based on your current fitness level
• Consistency beats intensity - 15 minutes, 3 times per week from home can get you there
• Your physical fitness directly affects your mood, energy, and patience as a dad

We include practical progression tips for each milestone and emphasize that this isn't about discipline or looking jacked - it's about being the reliable, capable father your family deserves in any situation.
