A viral clip of a young kid says it best: “Parents wanna be cool... that’s why this generation is cooked.” In this episode, Donte and Cali unpack the decline of discipline in today’s culture. We talk about how physical discipline is now outlawed in many places, and how the absence of structure is affecting our kids.

Cali also shares the heart behind his book The Disciplined Life Blueprint and how he and Donte are kicking off a 40 Day Challenge to build spiritual, mental, and physical consistency. If you're tired of chaos and ready to build real habits—this one's for you.

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Cali and Donté address the troubling issue of mothers weaponizing children by withholding access from fathers. Drawing from their own experiences—Donté reflects on discovering his mom's role in keeping him from his dad, and Cali shares challenges faced with his children's mother—the hosts unpack the lasting impact this has on both fathers and their kids. They discuss why unresolved pain and the absence of healing can lead parents down this destructive path. Tune in for honest conversations, insights into breaking toxic cycles, and guidance on seeking emotional healing for healthier family dynamics.
