In this episode, I’m joined a husand and father of one, Dr. Daniel Bryson. He is a clinical psychologist and strength coach — a fellow Manawatū local with a interesting mix of experience in exercise science, psychology, and high-performance coaching for military personnel.
We talk about Dan’s path from army medic to clinical doctorate, including the years he spent training and fighting professionally in Thailand, why he decided to study both exercise science and psychology, and how he eventually found his coaching niche with special forces candidates. But we also go deeper into how becoming a dad changes everything — including how you train, how you work, and how you relate to the people closest to you.
Dan shares insights on setting boundaries, managing stress, showing up for your kids (even when exhausted), and the power of simple routines. There’s plenty here for dads, coaches, and anyone trying to keep moving forward when life gets full.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
