Being a dad is tough. There’s the pressure of needing to provide for your family while at the same time providing for yourself. If you’re interested in learning how to become a better husband, father, mentor, business owner or really just a productive member of society, definitely check out my podcast with Curtis Jackson.
Curtis is the co-owner of Jackson Strength in Solana Beach, CA. Jackson Strength is a premier fitness facility specializing in helping youth volleyball and baseball athletes get strong, stay healthy, and achieve their athletic dreams.
Additionally, Curtis is the founder of the Warrior Dad Coaching Program aimed at helping dads reclaim their health, vitality, and athleticism through nutrition, fitness, and mindset training.
I want to help dads be the person that they want their kids to end up being and a lot of that is mindset. It’s how do we react to rough situations? How do we speak? What is our vocabulary? Is there a lot of ‘I can’t, I can’t, I can’t’ or is there a lot of ‘I’ll figure that out, I’ll figure that out, I’ll figure that out?’ What we say, what we do, all these things are trickling on down the line.
Curtis is also working on a hunting academy to teach newbie hunters how to kill, gut, skin, butcher, and cook their own meat. (You can find out more about this by contacting Curtis at office@jacksonstrength.com).
Curtis holds certifications from The National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM), The Poliquin International Certification Program, USA Weightlifting, and the CHEK Institute.
During our interview, Curtis and I chop it up about what it means to be a good dad, particularly when it comes to providing good food for his family. We also talk about the process of creating more “oneness” with our food, environment, community, and culture. I hope you enjoy!
