Hey Brother,
Today in The Focused Fool…

Focused Purpose
Today’s piece explores how your fitness may not be preparing you for your daily life and how to adjust.

Focused Partners
I’ve officially joined Momentous as a brand ambassador because I’ve used their clean, research-backed supplements for years. From energy to focus to recovery, these are the tools I trust.
Stay tuned: Friday I’ll share a discount code to help you build your own foundation of strength.

Focused Action
This month’s theme: Consistency in Habits
We’re laying the foundation for the man you’re becoming—one small, repeatable action at a time.

Focused Wonder
Spark connection with this question tonight:
"If you could do one part of today over again, what would you change?"

Focused Motion
Dr. Andrew Huberman talks with Dr. Becky Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy discusses what to do if the first step seems too hard to start.

Let’s Go.
You’re not just raising kids. You’re building the future.

Focused Purpose

You can deadlift twice your bodyweight, but why does a game of tag leave you breathless?

Most fitness programs prepare you for the gym, not for real life. If you're a father juggling work, family, and the physical chaos of parenting, it might be time to train for the life you're actually living. This article breaks down how to build a body that can keep up with your kids, your responsibilities, and your purpose.

Exciting News: I’m Officially a Momentous Brand Ambassador

I’ve been using Momentous for years—long before any partnership. Their supplements are part of my daily routine:
• Tongkat Ali for drive and vitality
• Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea for stress and focus
• Creatine for strength, energy, and recovery

These aren’t trendy powders or mystery blends. Momentous creates clean, research-backed products trusted by elite performers—and regular dads like me who just want to show up strong and clear-headed.

That’s why I’m thrilled to share I’ve officially become a Momentous brand ambassador.

Friday’s newsletter will include a code for 10% off your first order, so if you’ve been thinking about dialing in your supplement stack, this is a great time to try what I trust.

More soon—let’s keep showing up with purpose.

Focused Action

Every month, The Focused Fool brings you a series of Focused Actions—practical, bite-sized steps designed to help you grow as a father, husband, and man. Each theme is broken down into 12 structured actions (3 per week for 4 weeks) that build on each other, helping you grow with clarity and purpose—one small win at a time.

These aren’t lofty goals or guilt trips. They’re simple, achievable habits designed to make you more consistent, more grounded, and more present.

This month’s theme: Consistency in Habits
Building reliable, repeatable habits that support who you want to become—even when life gets loud.

We’ll start by spotting what’s getting in the way, then build out the tools, reflection, and rhythm needed to make progress automatic. Whether you follow all 12 or just a few, each action is a brick in the foundation of your future self.

✅ Week 1 – Awareness: Spot the Pattern

Before you can build consistent habits, you have to understand why past ones didn’t stick.
This week is about slowing down, taking inventory, and spotting the invisible patterns that keep pulling you off course.
Are your goals too big? Your cues unclear? Your motivation external?

We’re not judging—we’re observing. This is the groundwork.

Define Your Keystone Habit
Action: Choose one habit that, if consistent, would improve multiple areas of life.
Prompt: Why does this habit matter most right now?

Focused Wonder

Focused questions designed to spark meaningful dialogue—whether at the dinner table, during a car ride, or at bedtime. Use these questions to build trust, curiosity, and laughter in your relationships.
