Rob flips the script and puts Travis in the hot seat for another round of The 100% Game (it’s as ridiculous and fun as it sounds 😅)


*Short on time? Fast forward to 13:06 for the answer.


Then we dive into the big question: Why is the morning better than the night—especially for dads?


As priorities shift with parenting, we’ve found mornings to be a powerful window for self-care, clarity, and momentum. In this episode, we break down:

🌅 Why mornings are a stress-free zone compared to chaotic evenings

☕ Our love for coffee, breakfast, and having time to ourselves

🧠 How decision fatigue makes nights harder for goal-oriented tasks

💪 Why hard things feel easier in the early hours

🕰️ How better nighttime decisions lead to more freedom in the morning


Plus, tips for waking up early—even when you don’t feel like it:




  1. Detach emotion from the act—focus on the benefit, not the feeling




  2. Set a bedtime alarm like you do for waking up




  3. Ditch comfort-seeking—seek routine instead




  4. Build a support system to stay accountable




We also touch on a powerful reminder: You are where you put your attention. That includes the people in your life and the content you engage with online.


This one’s for every dad looking to reclaim time, energy, and clarity—before the chaos of the day begins.
