The week’s flying by and Father’s Day is sneaking up fast. Need a proper hat for the big day? We’ve got you covered — only 8 left.

Here’s what we’ve got on deck today:

• Garbage time

• Go one more

• 5 no-weight workouts

• Helping your kids find their passion

Let’s get into it.

📕 DAD WISDOM 

Garbage Time

Someone shared a clip of Jerry Seinfeld on The Tonight Show talking about parenting. He wasn’t preaching, just casually dropping some wisdom:

“People talk about quality time. I like to talk about garbage time.”

Bowl of cereal at 11pm. Sitting in traffic. Wandering around Target. Not epic. Not curated. But it counts.

We put a lot of pressure on creating “meaningful” moments with our kids. But the real magic? It’s usually buried in the boring.

So don’t sweat the agenda. Just be around for the garbage. Turns out, it’s the good stuff.

RAD DAD 

Nick Bare

Nick Bare, founder of Bare Performance Nutrition and former Army infantry officer, is no stranger to discipline and dedication. But fatherhood introduced a new dimension to his life.

Now, as a dad to two, Nick has openly shared how becoming a dad reshaped his definition of success. It's no longer solely about business metrics or personal records; it's about being a present and supportive father and husband.

In an interview, Nick emphasized the importance of self-care, stating, "When you prioritize time to take care of yourself, you then can show up stronger for others." He believes that maintaining personal health and well-being directly impacts his ability to be there for his family.

He often speaks about the value of being "consistently good over occasionally great," a mantra that guides his approach to parenting, training, and business.

DAD TOYS 

Intentional Fuel

Lately, I’ve been trying to clean up my afternoon routine. Less pantry grazing, more intentional fuel.

I’ve been keeping a few David Protein bars in the home office—they’ve been a solid upgrade. 40% more protein, zero sugar, no junk, and somehow they still taste good (go figure).

Worth checking out if you’re in the same boat.

DAD BOD 

The 5 Best No-Weight Workouts for Every Kind of Guy

Look, we love a good gym. But sometimes life (or that guy blasting metal on the speakerphone bench press) gets in the way.

That doesn’t mean you can’t still get a solid workout.

The crew at Huckberry pulled together a list of no-weight workouts from top trainers—great if you're short on time, space, or motivation.

One we liked: pushups + lunges, with some mobility work built in. Simple, effective, and zero dumbbells required.

Check out the full list here for your next workout. 💪
