    27. Identity Over Discipline: Raising Sovereign Kids with Matt Beaudreau

    Send us a text In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, hosts Nate Feathers and Jack delve deep with special guest Matt Beaudreau. Matt is an educator, keynote speaker, and the co-founder of Apogee Strong, a mentorship program designed to help young men and fathers become leaders. The conversation kicks off with Matt’s personal "red pill" moments—from a realization during the movie Braveheart at age 15 to questioning the official narrative of 9/11 while preparing for the Secret Service. The trio explores the power of identity over discipline, why Matt’s children have never eaten McDonald's, and the critical importance of being the "inner voice" for your children. They also discuss the freedom of living outside the US, the concept of "known slavery vs. unknown freedom," and how to design a life you don't need a vacation from. In This Episode You Will Learn: • [00:42] Matt’s Red Pill Moments: How watching Braveheart as a teenager and questioning the events of 9/11 shifted Matt's trajectory from the Secret Service to independent thinking. • [04:00] The Soundtrack of Focus: Why Matt plays the Braveheart soundtrack on repeat to get into "deep work" mode. • [10:14] Identity vs. Discipline: Matt explains why he doesn’t need discipline to stay sober or healthy—it’s simply his identity. "I don't have to discipline my kids; I've shown them how to be disciplined humans." • [15:01] Normalizing Excellence: Why fast food isn’t a "treat" in the Beaudreau household and how parents get to set what is "normal" for their children. • [20:01] Building a Foundation: The analogy of building a 10-story vs. a 100-story building and how early intentionality with kids pays off in their teenage years. • [25:50] Designing Your Life: The importance of designing a life you don't need to escape from and the intentionality behind family meals. • [35:04] Known Slavery vs. Unknown Freedom: A powerful discussion on why people choose comfortable unhappiness over the uncertainty of freedom. • [46:44] Life in Mexico: Jack and Matt discuss the reality of living in Mexico, safety, and the benefits of raising children in a family-centric culture. Memorable Quotes: • "Your kids will do what you do before they do what you say." • "I don't have to discipline my kids; I've just shown them how to be disciplined humans." • "Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness." • "Known slavery is better than unknown freedom... we want the known slavery because it's familiar."

    26. Mandatory Fun: Humor, Discipline, and the Dad Life

    Send us a text Throwback Episode If you can’t laugh at the chaos, you’re letting it win. In this episode, we sit down with Austin von Letkemann, better known to the internet as Mandatory Fun Day.

Whether you're a veteran or just a dad in the trenches, this is your after-action report on building a legacy that lasts. Don't just listen—take action.

    24. Identity vs. Purpose: Finding Your "Zone of Genius" in Fatherhood

    Send us a text Do you feel a sense of emptiness on the weekends, even after a "successful" work week? Many men fall into the trap of confusing their Identity (who they are on paper: a dad, a soldier, a boss) with their Purpose (their internal direction and "why"). When you rely solely on your job title or your role as a provider to give you value, you risk burnout and losing your sense of self. In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, Jack Nofel and co-host Alex Lange cut through the noise to discuss the difference between "Zone of Excellence" and "Zone of Genius." They dive deep into why being good at your job isn't the same as living a meaningful life, and how men can break generational cycles to build a true legacy for their children. In this episode, we cover: • Identity vs. Purpose: Why your rank, paycheck, or title is not your purpose. • The "Zone of Excellence" Trap: Why being highly competent at work can actually leave you feeling drained and distant at home. • Breaking the Cycle: How to parent differently than your father did and stop passing down trauma. • Rights of Passage: Why modern society fails young men and the importance of "deschooling" your mind. • Finding Meaning in Suffering: A raw look at how facing tragedy (and not running from it) can unlock your true potential. Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: The confusion between Identity and Purpose. [03:18] The danger of "Conformism" and "Totalitarianism" in a man’s life. [14:20] Zone of Excellence vs. Zone of Genius: Are you stuck? [19:00] Breaking generational patterns and creating a new lineage. [33:42] Why you need tension and stress to find meaning. [41:00] The power of homeschooling and love-centered parenting. Join the conversation: If this episode hit home, please share it with another dad who needs to hear it.

    23. Pain is Mandatory, Suffering is Optional: Becoming the Man Your Family Needs w/ Greg Denning

    Send us a text In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, hosts Jack Nofel and Alex Lange sit down with special guest Greg Denning—a father of seven, world-schooler, and founder of the "Formidable Family Man" movement. Greg shares his powerful journey from a turbulent childhood filled with divorce and instability to crafting an extraordinary life on his own terms. The trio dives deep into the philosophy of intentional fatherhood, discussing why "inviting" your children to grow is more effective than forcing them, and how to build lasting resilience in kids from toddlers to teenagers. Greg breaks down his "Triple Trifecta" framework for success and challenges fathers to stop playing the victim, embrace playfulness, and work harder on themselves than anything else. In This Episode, We Cover: • Pain vs. Suffering: Understanding that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional—and how to step out of the "victim" mindset. • The Triple Trifecta: Greg’s blueprint for the complete man, focusing on Fitness (Mind, Body, Spirit), Family (Marriage, Parenting, Legacy), and Finances. • Raising Resilient Kids: Why letting your children fail and "get punched in the face" (literally and metaphorically) is crucial for their confidence. • Modeling Over Mandating: How to inspire your kids to read, train, and succeed by setting the example rather than issuing demands. • The Power of Play: Why fathers need to stop being so serious and reconnect with their childlike spirit to bond with their kids. • World Schooling & Unconventional Living: Greg’s experience traveling the world with his family and questioning the status quo of education and lifestyle. Memorable Quote: "Nothing will get better in my life until I get better... If I work harder on myself, it's the best thing I can do for my wife, my children, and my community." — Greg Denning Guest Info: • Greg Denning: Founder of the Formidable Family Man, World Schooler, and Mentor. • Instagram: @greg.denning Don't just listen—take action.
