Show Notes
Men are born with ego. But, according to Gareth Nock, a fitness expert and coach, podcast host, and Founder of The Nock Academy, dads can do the necessary work needed to strip off their egos so that they can become a positive force in their children’s lives. While that may sound a little close to impossible, Gareth is a breathing example of a man who can let go of his ego and still be masculine in the eyes of his kids and of the community. On top of that, he’s living his true passion and purpose while adding value to the world through the community he’s built through The Nock Academy. In this episode, you will learn how you, too, can become a dad with no ego and still lift your family higher through strong leadership.
