This week on Daddy Wants To Play , we sit down with Javier Milian β€”former college football player, competitive bodybuilder, CrossFit athlete, coach, entrepreneur, and founder of Truemade . Javy takes us through the journey from chasing performance on the field and in the gym to building a thriving business and raising a family. We discuss the lessons football taught him about leadership and discipline, the role competition has played throughout his life, and the leap of faith required to leave security behind and build something of his own. But at the heart of this conversation is fatherhood. Javy opens up about how becoming a dad changed his definition of success, the responsibility that comes with being a provider, his family's decision to embrace homeschooling, and the values he's working to instill in his son and daughter. We also explore the challenges of balancing ambition with presence, building a strong marriage, and creating a family culture that will last long after the business is gone. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, parent, or simply someone trying to build a meaningful life, this episode is packed with lessons on leadership, sacrifice, and the courage to pursue a vision.
