486: Jason Bronstad’s Wake-Up Call: How He Took Back His Health, His Heart, and His Family

Have you ever felt like you’re crushing the deadlines, hitting the goals, but when it’s time to be fully present with your kids or partner, you’re running on fumes?

Jason Bronstad knows that feeling well.

In Part 2 of our conversation, he opens up about the version of himself that chased titles, numbed out with alcohol, and put presence on the back burner.

But that’s not who he is anymore.

Here’s what changed:

⚖️ He dropped 70 pounds
🥃 He stopped drinking
🧠 He stopped doubting himself
❤️ And he started showing up with his whole heart

This is a conversation for any man who’s done with the excuses and ready to become the father, husband, and human he was always meant to be.

You’ll hear:

  • A powerful moment when Jason’s 8-year-old son asked, “How do you feel when people tell you no?”
  • The email his daughter sent while he was away—and why it brought him to tears
  • Why presence isn’t just about being there, but being available
  • The adventure that pushed him to his limits—and why every man needs a yearly journey into the wild
  • What he learned from buying out a restaurant in Spain just to show his daughter the joy of giving
  • And the moment he said, “I’m done with self-doubt—once and for all.”

If you’re building your business to serve your life—not overtake it—this one will hit home.

And if you’re working to raise kids who don’t have to recover from their childhood the way you did… this one is a must.
