Topic: New Year S Resolutions

Jonnie Jensen opens the first podcast of 2026 by discussing the fleeting nature of New Year resolutions and the importance of creating a desired life rather than feeling stuck. The High Value Man Project is introduced as a framework for dads to achieve true riches in relationships and personal results. A central theme for the year is established around the fundamental sense of happiness and enjoying the life one creates.

Jonnie Jensen discusses the pride he takes in his children's development following his divorce, crediting their mother for her role. He provides a framework for fathers to apologize to their teenage children if they feel they have failed in the past, involving a genuine promise for future change. The hosts compare these commitments to New Year's resolutions, stressing the need for consistency over perfection.

Jonnie Jensen reports reaching day 86 of the Super Dad Workout, explaining the structure of 30-day cycles and the rule of returning to day one if a day is missed. The discussion shifts to the psychology of consistency, contrasting the "all or nothing" failure of typical New Year's resolutions with a more forgiving mindset. They briefly define Park Run as a community 5K event for the benefit of international listeners.

Jonnie Jensen introduces the concept of "blips versus breakdowns," arguing that minor setbacks should not be viewed as total failures. He cites A-B testing from a marketing campaign showing that people who are encouraged to forgive themselves for mistakes stick to their resolutions longer than those pressured to be perfect. The hosts conclude that "stickability" comes from the ability to get back up after a stumble.
