Special Operations Medic

I help high-achieving professionals achieve peak performance in high-stress situations without falling victim to stress and burnout. From college dropout to Special Operations team, I share my lessons learned.

Hey, I'm Joel.

TLDR people

I spent 12 years on a Marine Special Operations team. I have dedicated my life to mastering the art of discipline, mental toughness, and resilience. I help clients to harness their inner warrior to conquer life's challenges and emerge stronger. 

The long story. 

I spent the first 22 years of my life lost. Dropped out of college, and worked dead-end jobs. No direction in life. Through finding discipline and mental toughness I was able to enlist in the military and build a career in Special Operations.

Mental toughness and discipline have allowed me to do things I never thought possible: 

- 50-mile runs
- 10 mile swims
- 20 Mile ruck runs

Plus much more.

Most people go through life never realizing what they are capable of.

Welcome to "The Business of Being Dad" podcast, a dedicated space for single dads navigating the worlds of fatherhood, leadership, and personal growth. Let's redefine what it means to be a single father and unlock our full potential together!

You’re a dedicated father, tackling the challenges of parenthood after divorce. 

You often feel overwhelmed by the demands of:

→ Balancing your career
→ Managing a stressful co-parenting relationship 
→ Building strong connections with your kids

Time is limited. 

Guilt and regret creeps in as you question “Am I doing enough?” 

You wonder if your kids will be alright in the future and if your efforts today are truly making a difference.

You want to be present for your kids, but the demands of work, personal responsibilities, and a challenging co-parenting dynamic make it tough. 

The fear of missing out on your kids’ lives or not being the father they need weighs on you. 

All you really want is to ensure your kids are safe, loved, and equipped for the future.

Listen.

As a father who lived through a divorce that nearly broke me, I understand the fears that keep you up at night.

→ Are my kids better off without me?
→ Will this guilt and shame ever go away?
→ How will I get through this on my own?

I thought my chance to build a legacy was shattered.

I’ve faced the same fears, tackled the same challenges, and felt the weight of the doubts you face now. 

Throughout my journey, I discovered that no matter what challenges you face, you have the power to rise above them, build a fulfilling life, and re-create your legacy as a thriving, deeply connected father.

I’ve developed systems, processes, and habits that have allowed me to build deep connections with my kids, excel in my career, and live a balanced, fulfilling life — all while creating a legacy that stands the test of time. 

Now, I’m here to help other single and divorced dads like you do the same.

Whether it’s:

→ 😔 Guilt that keeps you up at night
→ 😩 Co-parenting conflicts that drain you
→ ⏳ Time constraints that make it feel like you never have enough time

Together, you and I will work to build deep, meaningful connections with your kids and create a roadmap that ensures you can confidently navigate fatherhood without sacrificing your own dreams along the way.

Imagine waking up each day knowing:

→ 😊 You’re making the right decisions
→ 💪 You have strong relationships with your kids
→ 😌 You are fulfilled as both a father and individual

This is the life I can help you create.

A life where you’re thriving in every aspect of your life.

Let’s take this journey together so you can have the confidence that your kids will thrive.

It’s time to create a legacy that will benefit your children and you for LIFE.
