Welcome to Dialed In Men!
I created Dialed In Men to pass along what I’ve learned to my sons, so they have the tools and wisdom to navigate an ever-changing world. My hope is for this to be an evolving, science-backed blueprint they can use to optimize their health, wealth, and personal success—while also serving as a lasting resource, no matter what life brings.
The best part? The advice here isn’t just for them—it’s designed for all men looking to level up their lives. If you’re here to improve, grow, and thrive, you’ve come to the right place.
We’re focused on giving men practical resources and actionable strategies to help them become the best versions of themselves.
Why I Started This Site
In the summer of 2016, my life changed forever with the birth of my first child, a baby boy. Becoming a father shifted my perspective. It wasn’t just about me anymore—I needed to think about what I could teach my son and how to prepare him for the world ahead. That led to writing 25 Things I Learned Before You Were Born as a starting point.
But life is constantly evolving, and learning is an ongoing journey. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to reading, writing, and reflecting. However, I’ve learned that knowledge without action is just procrastination. I’m a firm believer in being a practitioner, and I’m constantly applying what I’ve learned to improve my own life—striving to be 1% better every day.
Though I’ve made progress, I’m concerned that many men aren’t experiencing the same growth.
Are Men in the U.S. Lost?
Let’s consider a few troubling facts:
- The average American man dies 5 years earlier than the average woman.
- 77% of all suicides are committed by men, with a 43% rise in middle-aged suicides since 1997.
- Over 90% of inmates are male.
- Women now outnumber men in graduate schools, and they earn the majority of doctoral, law, and medical degrees.
- 7 million working-age men are no longer in the labor force, with nearly half taking pain medication daily.
- 1 in 5 children live in single-mother households—double the rate from 1970.
- 70% of American men are overweight or obese.
- Testosterone levels in men have fallen significantly, leading to increased depression, lethargy, and cognitive decline.
These statistics paint a grim picture of the future for men, one that I’m committed to changing.
