FATHERS of the FUTURE

In this episode of the FATHERS of the FUTURE Podcast, Luke sits down with Rich Winger, a retired Navy SEAL, state championship wrestler, CrossFit athlete, Jiu-jitsu practitioner, and father of seven children. Watch for a powerful conversation about discipline, service, faith, leadership, mental health, and the importance of pursuing your next mission in life. Rich shares how lessons forged through wrestling, surviving BUD/S, becoming a NAVY SEAL, his military career, leaving the LDS church, rewriting his faith, divorce, marriage, and raising seven children continue to shape how he leads today. From meal prep and sanctuary solitude each morning to consistent routine, gratitude, humility, and service, this conversation is about applying elite performance principles to everyday life as a world-class father, operating a different mission. KEY TAKEAWAYS Faith is personal Humor is a weapon Preparation matters Service is Leadership Your identity must evolve Gratitude changes your state Discipline is built through repetition Shared hardship and suffering create lifelong brotherhood Luke also shares his spiritual path: receiving Christ and being baptized in his backyard at age 45, as well as becoming more willing over the past several years to speak openly about God, faith, and spiritual growth to enhance the lives of his family, clients and community. He reflects on growing up without a strong, positive male role model and without men of faith showing him what it meant to walk with God, ultimately learning that faith cannot be built on institutions, personalities, or people. It must be rooted in a personal relationship with God. “Never let the message or the messenger affect your relationship with God.” Luke and Rich also confront the difficult subject of men’s mental health and suicide, including the responsibility men have to check on one another, stay connected, ask harder questions, and protect and defend against isolation, hopelessness, and loss of purpose. After losing men, fathers, and clients to suicide, the mission becomes even more personal: Brotherhood matters, and sometimes one conversation can change the trajectory of a man’s life. What happens when the uniform comes off, the applause stops, the title no longer defines you, and the most difficult mission you built your life around is over? At some point, every man has to confront the same question: What is my NEXT MISSION?

In this episode of The College Years, Luke Kayyem talks about “the art of analog” and why handwritten notes can become some of the most meaningful things we leave behind. Our kids probably won’t care about old texts, emails, or apps, but they will remember the things that carried our time, effort, and presence. Being a Father of the Future means being present, active, and engaged, and learning to live your legacy instead of simply leaving one. This episode challenges fathers to slow down, stay connected, ask the questions, and leave their kids with something that lasts. Luke Kayyem is a Men’s Peak-Performance Life Coach, keynote speaker, and founder of the Fathers of the Futuremovement. His work focuses on helping men grow as fathers, husbands, leaders, and men through discipline, intentional living, accountability, and becoming PRESENT, ACTIVE, and ENGAGED in the lives that matter most.

What happens when your children need more freedom, but they still need their father? In this episode of FATHERS of the FUTURE: The College Years, Luke Kayyem talks about learning to loosen your grip without checking out of your child’s life. Fathering college-aged children requires a different kind of leadership. You cannot control every decision, solve every problem, or force every conversation, but you can remain present, consistent, and available. The goal is not to prevent your children from experiencing difficulty. It is to give them room to grow while reminding them that they never have to walk through life alone. KEYS to VICTORY inside this episode... 🎙️Servant leadership is the disciplined choice. 🎙️ Servant leadership is strength used for someone else’s benefit. 🎙️ You can lead from your scars, but you shouldn’t lead from an open wound. 🎙️ Trauma explains behavior, but it doesn’t have to define your future. At some point, healing requires taking responsibility for what you do with what happened to you. 🎙️ Letting go does not mean disappearing. 🎙️ Your children still need your voice, but they do not need you to control every decision. 🎙️ Ask thoughtful questions before immediately offering answers. 🎙️ Trust what you have built and give your children room to become who they were created to be. The way you father may change as your children grow, but your presence, love, and influence still matter.

In this episode of the FATHERS of the FUTURE Podcast, Luke Kayyem sits down with Kyle Pottinger, Senior Vice President at On Location and a leader in the world of professional sports and entertainment. From growing up on a dairy farm to helping lead experiences on some of the biggest stages in sports, Kyle’s story is a reminder that where you start does not determine where you finish. What matters is what you do with what’s in front of you. KEYS to VICTORY inside this episode... 🎙️ Never stop asking questions. Curiosity keeps you growing long after talent has taken you as far as it can. 🎙️ Build your personal “board of directors.” Every man needs people around him who will tell him the truth, challenge him, and help him see what he cannot see on his own. 🎙️ Your habits become your life. Early mornings, discipline, consistency, and doing the little things well matter more than waiting for some massive breakthrough. 🎙️ Leadership starts with you. Before you ask your team, your family, or anyone else to raise their standard, be willing to set it yourself. 🎙️ Vulnerability is not weakness. The strongest men are still willing to admit they don’t know, ask for help, and keep learning. Success on the biggest stages is rarely built in the spotlight. It is built through thousands of ordinary decisions when nobody is watching. Kyle’s story is a call to men to stay curious, surround themselves with the right people, embrace discomfort, and keep becoming the kind of leader their teams can trust and their families can follow. Because the goal is not simply to become more successful. It is to become the kind of man who can carry success without losing himself, his relationships, or the people who matter most.

In this episode of the FATHERS of the FUTURE Podcast, Luke Kayyem sits down with Mike Lindstrom—author, executive coach, speaker, and podcast host. You don't get to choose the story you started with, but you do get to decide what story your children inherit from you. KEYS to VICTORY inside this episode... 🎙️ Never stop learning. Experience-based coaching stands the test of time. 🎙️ Seek discomfort daily. Ask yourself: What can I learn, and whom can I meet? 🎙️ How young men can learn to become gentlemen: stoic, poised, and confident, standing out in today's modern world. Shaking hands and looking someone in the eye have become the new standards of excellence in a world where these foundational skills have become a lost art of growth and development. This is a call to every man who wants to keep learning, growing, and moving forward in his performance, productivity, and fatherhood journey.
