In this episode with John Schott , you’ll explore why so many dads feel depleted, distracted, and unsupported, and how that ties directly to poor recovery, low energy, and lack of structure. You’ll also discover how simple systems built around circadian rhythms, movement, hydration, and family routines can restore your physical edge while improving patience, focus, and leadership at home. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice, exploring what truly shapes a man's identity and why the way he shows up as a father and leader ripples into his family and our broader culture. John Schott is a bodyworker, wellness practitioner, and founder of the Conscious Dad Protocol , a system designed to help men optimize their physical health, emotional resilience, and leadership within the family unit. With years of experience in fascia work, recovery techniques, and holistic living, John combines ancestral principles with modern strategies to create practical systems that support both performance and presence. Through his work, he focuses on helping fathers build stronger bodies, clearer minds, and deeper connections with their families while navigating the demands of modern life. πŸ‘‰ Want more energy, presence, and control as a dad?  You can join the next Conscious Dad Protocol cohort here .
