    You Can Have Justice — Or You Can See Your Children

    Most fathers are told to fight harder — that justice equals reunion.That if you push back, go to court, or prove you’re right, you’ll get more time with your kids. But what if that belief is costing you everything you care about? In this powerful, unfiltered episode, Anthony Thompson sits down with Garry — co-founder of 100K Fathers — an organization dedicated to rebuilding strong, regulated dads and transforming the fatherhood narrative after separation and divorce. Together, they dismantle the most damaging myth holding fathers back: 👉 ⚠️ Justice does not guarantee access — but it can cost you time with your children if you aren’t strategic, regulated, and present. This is not a conversation about blame.It’s a conversation about what actually works in the real world — beyond anger, beyond ego, beyond the courtroom. Why fighting harder isn’t the same as parenting better How traditional advice about custody disputes often backfires The real difference between winning a battle and preserving a relationship Why regulation — not aggression — creates access The importance of presence over proof What dads really need to do to rebuild influence in their children’s lives How to balance courage with strategy in family conflict If you’ve ever felt: Stuck between spending money on lawyers and missing moments with your kids Like the system is designed to exhaust you Like you’re doing everything “right” but still losing time Afraid your anger or strategy is pushing your kids farther away This episode will change how you think and act. This is designed for fathers who: Are navigating separation or custody conflict Feel like the rules are stacked against them Know something deeper needs to change Still want a relationship with their children Want a strategy that doesn’t cost them what matters most Support & learn from Garry’s work at:👉 https://www.100k-fathers.com/ Join the Divorced Dads community and continue your transformation:👉 Skool Group — Divorced Dads of Americahttps://www.skool.com/the-ascent-for-divorced-dads-2803/about Follow Anthony Thompson for insights, strategy, and fatherhood truth:👉 https://www.instagram.com/divorceddadsofamerica Subscribe so more fathers in crisis can find this message Leave a review — podcasts with truth get shared faster Send this to a dad who’s stuck in the fight instead of the journey Justice is a process.Presence is a legacy.

    You Don’t Need to Be Healed to Rebuild Your Life

    Most men think they have to be fixed before they can build.That they must be healed before they can create.That stability must come first — before progress. In this episode, Anthony Thompson sits down with Ryan O’Connor — Army veteran, single dad, and founder of @affluentmystique — to dismantle that lie. Ryan’s life has never offered easy guarantees.He’s faced: chronic health adversity (including epilepsy), the collapse of his marriage, the grind of rebuilding identity and stability…all while raising his kids without certainty, without security, and without waiting for “perfect.” This is not an inspirational story neatly wrapped.This is a truth-teller episode about what it really looks like to build a life in the middle of uncertainty — not after it’s over. 👉 Ryan also leads a program called ROCNTHE_DREAM (https://beacons.ai/rocnthedream), where he helps men and fathers turn pressure into purpose, clarity, and action — without waiting for perfection. Why you don’t need to be fully healed to start rebuilding The cost of waiting for the perfect moment How living with uncertainty becomes a daily practice — not a crisis Why fatherhood isn’t about having answers — it’s about being present The invisible cost of hiding in productivity What real resilience feels like when nothing is guaranteed How gratitude and mindfulness become tools of action — not escape This is for the divorced dad who: Feels like life is happening to him instead of through him Fights to be present but still feels behind Thinks he has to be healed before he can build Is frustrated with the “wait, then win” narrative Wants to model resilience and courage for his children Most divorced dads don’t struggle because they lack strength.They struggle because they wait for strength to arrive.They wait for clarity.They wait for stability.They wait for health.They wait for marriage to heal. But life doesn’t wait — and neither should you. Ryan’s story shows that action in the middle of hardship is not a compromise — it’s a strategy.
