Today’s guest helps men that are complacent in their marriage, fitness, fatherhood, and life in general, and turns them into literal “Superhuman Fathers”, by leading them down a path of massive personal development.  Kyle Carnohan started @superhumanfathers as an Instagram account a few years ago to hold himself personally accountable to stop the ongoing cycle of self-sabotage in his life. He found himself being short with his kids, sarcastic with his wife, and lazy around the house. He would use excuses to get out of being his best self. “I'm stressed from work” “I need a break.” “I have anxiety and depression”, the list continues. Sound familiar? Through sharing his struggles and journey through Instagram, Kyle began connecting with other fathers with the same shortcomings. Through his transformation to becoming his best self, other struggling men began to ask Kyle for advice out of frustration with their own lives, and thus Kyle’s coaching practice “SuperHuman Fathers” was born.  In this episode, Kyle shares his passion for his mission to help men ditch the darkness in their lives that is affecting their relationships, their family, and their disappointment with the person in the mirror. Lying to ourselves puts us in a state of being at battle with our best-self, leading to self-doubt, anxiety, and depression. We were made for so much more than that.

We have heard it before, but often need a reminder: Comparison is the root of unhappiness. With the prevalence of social media, it is so easy to get caught up in comparing our journey to someone else’s when we aren’t seeing the struggle it took to get them there. The world is craving more authenticity, and that is exactly what you will get from this conversation with David Fales. David Fales is a former NFL quarterback who played for the Chicago Bears for 7 years. After leaving his hometown of Salinas, CA, David went to play football at the University of Nevada and eventually made the difficult decision to leave the team and transfer schools. In this episode, David explains what his mindset was like in this transition and what he focused on to continue improving as a football player, eventually becoming drafted into the professional league. David gets honest about navigating life after football and transitioning to the business world. Through sharing his story, David encourages us to focus on what we can control, and choose one thing at a time to improve on. Through doing that, trust the process and know that if you put the time and reps in and do not settle for anything less, you will reach your goal. We all have limiting beliefs that can hold us back from reaching our potential, but it is important to learn to shut those out and realize the opportunities that lie ahead if we put in the work. Tune in for David’s story and inspiring insight. Key highlights: David’s background, his decision to leave his college football team, and his journey to the NFL The importance of focusing on one thing we can control and continue to improve in that area Being yourself and surrounding yourself with people that appreciate you for who you are What are the thoughts and beliefs you are telling yourself that are holding you back? The parallels between life and sports The comparison problem with social media  Knowing your goals and reverse engineering how to get there The power of networking and connecting with people The responsibility we have to be an example to our children and the next generation   Connect with David Fales: Instagram: @fales10 LinkedIn: David Fales Connect with Shawn French: Instagram: @theshawnfrench Website: theshawnfrench.com Facebook group: The Determined Society Twitter: @theshawnmfrench YouTube: The Shawn French Learn more about your ad choices.
