| The Comfortable Man's Crisis: Why a Good Marriage Is the Most Dangerous Place to Hide | 06 Apr 2026 | 00:18:59 | |
Your marriage isn't falling apart. Your kids are healthy. Your wife isn't threatening to leave. And that ā right there ā is the most dangerous thing that could happen to you. In this episode, Chris Rodack breaks down the silent killer of men who have "good enough" homes: the belief that stability means the work is done. If your home is peaceful but your execution is slipping, your morning routine is gone, and you've been telling yourself "we're good" ā this episode is the alarm you didn't know you needed. A stable home is not the finish line. It's the foundation you're supposed to build on. And if you're not building, you're borrowing time on your wife's strength and calling it peace.

| The Angry Dad: From Feared Dictator To Respected King | 01 Apr 2026 | 00:10:40 | |
Your daughter spilled her juice at dinner. You slammed your hand on the table. The whole room went silent.She didn't cry. She just froze. Eyes down. Shoulders up. Making herself as small as possible.A glass of juice. That's what started it. But we both know it wasn't about the juice. In this episode I break down: ā What your kids actually experience when you lose control ā The 3 lessons you burn into their memory every time you explode ā Why your anger is never about your kids (and what it's really about) ā The long-term cost your children carry into adulthoodā The real source of your anger (it's not what you think) ā How one father went from "Angry Tom" to "Happy Tom" in 12 months ā The one standard every father must build to lead with peace š„ APPLY TO MEN OF FIRE: https://menoffire.risingfather.com/mensprogram Men of Fire is for fathers done being the storm their family has to survive.

| THE "NICE GUY" MARRIAGE TRAP: WHY YOUR KINDNESS IS KILLING HER ATTRACTION | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:09:43 | |
The "Nice Guy" Marriage Trap: Why Your Kindness Is Killing Her Attraction. You do the dishes. You never raise your voice. You ask her what she wants for dinner every single night. You keep the peace at all costs.And your wife is pulling away from you.Not with fights. Not with ultimatums. She's just... gone quiet. The warmth disappeared. The affection dried up. She talks to you like a coworker. And you're sitting there thinking: "What more does she want from me?"I'll tell you what she wants. She wants a man who leads. Not a man who auditions for her approval every day and calls it love. In this video, I break down the pattern I've seen in hundreds of men: the "Nice Guy" who confused being agreeable with being a good husband ā and woke up one day in a roommate marriage wondering where the attraction went. This is for the man whose wife isn't leaving ā but isn't staying either. Not really.

| "He Meant Well" | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:10:45 | |
"He meant well" is not a compliment. It is an apology for a man who lived a life of good intentions and zero execution.You tell yourself you will get in shape when work slows down. You tell yourself you will date your wife again when the kids are older. You use the word "someday" as a sedative to numb the guilt of being a mediocre father today.That is a weak lie. "Someday" is not a strategy; it is the excuse you use to avoid accountability right now.Stop negotiating with your excuses. The clock is ticking, and you are running out of time to be the leader they need.Burn "someday" from your vocabulary.

| The Roommate Marriage | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:12:07 | |
"At work, I am the authority. At home, I am the help." You arenāt fighting. Thereās no drama. You tell yourself youāre "stable." You are lying. You arenāt stable; you are stagnant. You are two strangers maintaining a mortgage. You are business partners running a logistics operation called "The Family." You share a bed, but you havenāt shared a dream in years. Youāve become a roommate in your own houseāan assistant to your wife rather than the leader of your home. In this episode, Chris Rodack breaks down the "Quiet Divorce" and the precise moment men trade their crown for a clipboard.
If you are tired of the silence, the dead bedroom, and the feeling that you are just a paycheck with a pulse, it is time to move.

| Why Your Home Feels Like A Minefield | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:09:41 | |
When your garage door opens, your family doesn't feel reliefāthey feel fear. You think you are just "venting your stress," but the uncompromising truth is that you are bullying the people you swore to protect because you know they can't fire you. After you snap, you choose one of two weak paths: You ignore the explosion and act like nothing happened (Gaslighting), or you beg your children to comfort you (Groveling). Both destroy your authority. If you continue down this path, you aren't just losing their respect todayāyou are training your daughter to marry a man who screams at her tomorrow. In this video, I break down the brutal reality of the "Minefield Father" and give you the exact physical and verbal steps of The Reset Protocol to repair the breach and restore your authority. š„ STOP BEING THE STORM.

| "I'd Die For My Family" | 22 Feb 2026 | 00:11:37 | |
Every man says he would take a bullet for his family. But most of you won't even put down the fork for them. You claim you are their protector, but you are 40 pounds overweight and winded on the stairs. That doesn't make you a protector. That makes you a liability. This is how to become the unbreakable leader your family deserves. š„ START HERE: GET THE FREE 7-DAY IGNITION PLAN Stop the drift. Reignite your energy, focus, and discipline in just one week.

You are running out of time. You think you have 18 years, but you really have 18 summers, and you have already wasted half of them staring at a screen.Being "in the room" is not the same as being present. Most fathers are simply furnitureāphysically there, but mentally dead. We call this the "Ghost Father."Your son doesn't need a roommate. He needs a General.

| The Mercenary Father | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:21:09 | |
Do you treat your family like a vending machine? Many fathers believe that because they pay the mortgage, work 60 hours a week, and pay for the expensive vacations, their family "owes" them respect, intimacy, and obedience. You put the coin in (money), and you expect the product (respect) to drop out. But when the machine gets stuckāwhen your wife is tired or your kids are ungratefulāyou donāt act like a leader. You act like a "Loan Shark" coming to collect a debt. You feel robbed, so you pout, scream, or shut down. In this episode, I expose the dangerous trap of the Mercenary Father. I explain why providing is not the same as leading, and why your transactional mindset is actually causing your family to resent you. In this episode, you will learn:
It is time to burn the invoice. If you are ready to stop being a father for hire and become the General your family needs, this episode is your wake-up call.

Most men quit the moment life gets ugly. They have an "All or Nothing" mentality: "If I canāt do my perfect 90-minute workout, Iāll do nothing." "If I canāt eat perfectly, Iāll eat garbage." In this episode, I take you into the trenches of my worst week in yearsābusiness failures, a son with a concussion, and a brutal sicknessāto prove that perfection is a lie. We are going to talk about "The Ugly Rep." Perfectionism is just procrastination dressed in a tuxedo. It is a convenient excuse to be lazy while pretending you have high standards. Today, we kill that excuse. I teach you how to define your "Floor," avoid the "Restart Tax," and keep the freight train moving even when chaos is raining down on your head. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:ā¢ The "Flu Game" Standard: Why your family doesn't need a dad who is only consistent when the sun is shining.ā¢ The Restart Tax: Why stopping the train completely costs you 100x more energy than just moving slowly.ā¢ The Light Switch: Why discipline is binary (Did you keep the promise? Yes or No?).ā¢ Ceiling vs. Floor: How to set a "minimum effective dose" so you never hit zero again.ā¢ The Bucket Strategy: Why doing a "trash workout" is better than doing nothing. š THE RISING FATHER ECOSYSTEM š š„ START HERE: GET THE FREE 7-DAY IGNITION PLANReignite your energy, focus, and discipline in just one week.

| King at Work, Coward at Home | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:15:31 | |
You are a killer at work. You solve complex problems, manage crises, and close deals without breaking a sweat. But the moment you walk through your front door, you crumble. You snap at your wife, yell at your kids, and crave "peace" like a drug. In this episode, we autopsy the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" syndrome that plagues high-performing men. We talk about why you are a King in the marketplace but a Coward in your own kitchen. If you can handle a 400lb deadlift or a $100k business crisis but fall apart because the house is messy, you are suffering from "Emotional Atrophy." I am going to give you the exact tactical frameworkāThe Emotional Deadliftāto stop arguing with gravity and start holding your frame when the chaos hits. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER:ā¢ The Hypocrisy Trap: Why you give your best behavior to strangers who pay you, and your worst behavior to the family who loves you.ā¢ "Toddler With a Mortgage": The brutal reality of what you look like when you let your emotions run the house.ā¢ Arguing with Gravity: Why trying to "fix" your wifeās mood is as useless as yelling at a heavy barbell.ā¢ The Emotional Deadlift: The 3-step protocol (Brace, Stance, Rep) to stay calm when the world wants you to snap. š THE RISING FATHER ECOSYSTEM š š„ START HERE: GET THE FREE 7-DAY IGNITION PLANReignite your energy, focus, and discipline in just one week.

| A Powerful Technique To Improve Family Relationships | 07 Dec 2025 | 00:28:28 | |
We all have "Selfish Phases." You get stressed, you lose your discipline, and suddenly you start looking inward. You start keeping score. You start resenting your wife and snapping at your kids.In this episode, I reveal the internal strategy I use to snap out of the "Selfish Phase" and reframe my entire family dynamic. We talk about the "Secret Tape Recorder" playing in your headāthe inner voice that is constantly narrating a negative story about your wife and children.If you catch yourself thinking "Why did she say that?" or "Why is he so annoying?", you are slipping into a victim mindset that will rot your legacy from the inside out. Iām going to teach you the simple, 4-word mantra that instantly kills the ego and forces you to show up as the King your family needs.IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: ā¢ The Energy Balance of Leadership: Why you can't be a selfless leader if you are living a life of consumption (fat, lazy, undisciplined). ā¢ The "Tape Recorder" Audit: How to catch the negative inner monologue that is poisoning your relationships before you even speak. ā¢ "I Am Her Husband": The specific mental trigger I use to dissolve anger and become present immediately. ā¢ The Legacy of Mornings: A brutal look at the math of fatherhoodāwhy you only have a finite number of "morning cuddles" before they are gone forever.š THE RISING FATHER ECOSYSTEM šš„ START HERE: GET THE FREE 7-DAY IGNITION PLAN Reignite your energy, focus, and discipline in just one week.
