About this listen

Over the past year, I've have spoken to ALOT of dads about what to expect from fatherhood & one of the key things that always came up was the struggle of juggling fatherhood while working a full-time job (especially running a business and being a CEO).


It got me thinking about why all these conversations we've had were bound to Whatsapp instead of broadcasting it to other Dads going through the same thing looking for some form of security in the knowledge they're not alone in having these particular feelings.


So...the idea was born!


David Michael Powell, father of newborn baby boy Brodie will be chatting to fellow dads who happen to run a business about how they navigated the final few months before babies arrived and also the early stages of juggling both fatherhood and business.


We hope it helps any current dads, future dads or anyone who simply fancies a listen for some pleasure.


Together, we will UNITE the fatherhood CEO's and share a glimpse into each of our unique diaries.

    For high performing dads, Steve is the only coach who helps you reclaim 10+ hours a week using my Deliberate OS. An operating system for your time, energy, and attention.

    Stuck in reactive mode, constantly switching between Slack, client work, and family demands

    Trying to be a present dad, but your mind’s still drafting emails at bedtime

    Clear on your business goals, but unsure how to stay consistent without burning out

    Doing “well enough,” but know there’s a better way to lead your business and your life


    Deliberate Choices – clarity on what really matters and what to ignore


    Deliberate Systems – a custom Peak Week that aligns your actions with your priorities


    Deliberate Mindset – tools to stop spiralling, overthinking, and self-doubt in their tracks


    This isn’t about adding more. It’s about using your best hours for what matters most, your business, your family, your health.
