190: 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming A Dad

September 7, 2026·56 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I share five things I wish I knew before becoming a dad. I talk about treating children as the cornerstone of an unfinished life, staying ambitious without letting work control the home, prioritizing what matters when balance feels impossible, becoming an intentional father, leading through the example I set, and building confidence through curiosity, courage, and competence.This is not a list of perfect answers. It is an honest look at what the last four years have taught me and what I am still working to become. Whether you are a father, preparing to be one, or thinking about the kind of family you want to lead, I hope this helps you examine your priorities, strengthen your values, and show up with greater intention.CHAPTERS:00:00 App Relaunch01:19 Intro03:03 Books That Shaped Me05:50 Lesson 110:56 Success To Significance Shift15:25 Lesson 225:42 Time Systems And Priorities27:40 Lesson 334:06 Intentional Father Framework38:14 Lesson 4 47:12 Lesson 5 54:50 Closing EncouragementJOIN MY TRAINING APPhttps://www.nickbarefitness.app/ORDER MY BOOK HERE: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 25% off FOR LIFE ⁠https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/collections/performance-nutritionIG: ⁠instagram.com/nickbarefitness/⁠YT: ⁠youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal [health or profession] advice.
