Behind every strong man is a battle he had to win in private.

Divorce. Addiction. Burnout. Identity loss.
The pressure to provide. The fear of not being enough. The silence no one sees.

In this raw panel conversation, real men unpack the war fought in Family, Self, and Service - and what happens when you stop fighting alone.

Because the real victory isn't success.

It's becoming the man your legacy demands.

A raw, unscripted panel with three HPF men from WA - Critz, Darren, and Callum - talking about what actually changes a man when life hits.

They unpack:

• what brotherhood does when you're in the dark
• why most men drift into isolation (and how to break it)
• setting standards that hold under pressure
• becoming "100 to give 100" - without guilt
• and the moment Callum realised his daughter was watching… when she put his Kozzie coin under her pillow to feel safe

No hype. Just truth, scars, and men choosing to rise.

Holding baby Flossy in one arm, Al delivers a raw, punchy reminder of what fatherhood really teaches a man.

Four kids, four lessons: identity, capacity, time management, and the newest one, self control. Not the pretend version. The real version, where you are tired, tested, tempted, and still choose the standard.

He unpacks why comfort kills growth, why discomfort is the gateway, and finishes with a gut check every man needs to face:

If your son grew up to be the man you are today… would you be proud, or ashamed?

If your daughter grew up to marry the type of man you are today... would you be proud, or ashamed?

For 30 years, Jason Crittle told himself he had it under control.

But at home he was gone. Drinking early, smoking late, sitting on the verandah all night, kids in their rooms, wife in the other room. No presence. No leadership. Just a man hiding behind the mask of "I provide."

Then Father's Day hit and everything erupted. Jason walked out and faced the truth: he wasn't functioning at all. He was losing his family.

In this raw conversation, Jason shares how he went from "I'm lost, I've got no goals" to quitting alcohol and smoking, dropping 20kg, rebuilding trust, returning to date nights, and stepping into a new identity: becoming a gentleman.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, "I need to change… but I can't," this one will hit you right in the chest.

Burnout isn't a character flaw - it's your biology waving a red flag.

In this episode, accredited naturopath and nutritionist James Marr breaks down why most men are stuck treating smoke (fatigue, gut issues, low libido, anxiety, poor sleep) while the real fire keeps burning underneath. We talk adrenal dysfunction, cortisol rhythms, gut-to-brain links, testosterone myths, and the brutal truth: your "normal" bloodwork can still hide a wrecked system.

If you're relying on caffeine to function, waking up tired, feeling flat by 3pm, or quietly watching your body decline - this is your wake-up call. Stop patching the dashboard. Find the fire. Fix the machine.

This isn't a Christmas episode.

It's a message about pressure, expectations, comparison, and the moments in life that amplify everything — whether that's Christmas, birthdays, grief, or change.

In this episode, Al speaks candidly about:

• seasonal pressure and emotional overload
• why comparison quietly steals your power
• the illusion of calendars and "fresh starts"
• preparing for what's inevitable in life
• why presence matters more than performance
• and the truth that no man becomes great alone

Listen to this when life feels loud — or when you need to come back to centre.

Because one day, every father becomes a memory.

The question is: what memory are you building right now?

This is a raw, unscripted conversation with men living the work inside High Performance Father.

They talk about:

• what broke before things changed
• the cost of raising standards
• why brotherhood accelerates growth
• what got harder after joining
• and why HPF isn't for everyone

No hype. No masks. No shortcuts.

Just men choosing to rise, together.

Kozzie isn't the point.

The brotherhood is.

In this conversation, four HPF men speak honestly about what keeps them here - not the workouts, not the events, but the culture that refuses to let men drift.

This is about:

• Men holding the line for each other
• Standards that don't bend when life gets heavy
• Brotherhood that sharpens instead of enabling
• A culture where leadership is expected, not applauded

If you've ever wondered what makes HPF different - this is it.
