EP 476 Lawrence Dunning: Don’t Compete with your Spouse, Pause for Intention, and Lead by Example

Ned sits down with Lawrence Dunning—author, former pro MMA fighter, investor, and intentional father—for an honest conversation about fatherhood, fitness, and focus. Lawrence shares how his journey from high-stakes competition to intentional parenting shaped his perspective on marriage, personal growth, and raising a son. They discuss the importance of prioritizing marriage before parenting, finding purpose in physical health, and carving out space for mental clarity in a world full of noise. Lawrence urges men to step into their fatherhood role with intention, discipline, and love.
