Millennial Dads Need to Be More Selfish

Millennial Dads Need to Be More Selfish

Author: TRAIN HARD Media September 9, 2026 Duration: 51:54

Jason and Gabe talk about why millennial dads are spending more time with their kids than past generations, why that’s a good thing, and where it can go too far. They make the case for dads being a little more “selfish” with their time when it comes to training, health, friendships, and the things that give them fulfillment outside of being a parent.

They also get into the difference between happiness and fulfillment, Jason competing in his first USPSA shooting match, Gabe swearing off burpees, and why we’re often too quick to put limits on what we think we’re capable of.

Plus, they talk preschool vs. homeschool, youth sports, and where the line is between helping kids get stronger and putting too much stress on young athletes.

You’ll find a refreshingly direct tone in the Jason Khalipa Podcast, produced by TRAIN HARD Media. It’s a series grounded in the belief that strength isn’t just physical-it’s built through discipline, clear leadership, and showing up intentionally in all areas of life. Each episode feels like a candid talk between friends, where Jason delves into the mechanics of fitness alongside the broader challenges of fatherhood and cultivating a resilient mindset. The conversations avoid theory and abstraction, focusing instead on the tangible work required to build a capable and purposeful existence. Listeners hear real stories and practical takeaways, often punctuated with laughter, that challenge them to reflect and then move. This isn’t about hype or empty motivation; it’s about the incremental, sometimes messy, work of getting better. Tuning into this podcast means joining a community focused on applied wisdom, where every topic, from gym routines to family dynamics, is discussed with an honesty that’s both relatable and actionable. If you’re looking for a genuine resource in the health and fitness space that connects physical training to the core of how you live, this series provides exactly that.
