Hi, my name is Hunter and I just wanted to give a huge, heart-felt THANK YOU to Curt as well as emphatically recommend Curt’s Dad.Work coaching program to any high-performing, but overwhelmed Dad that needs a proven, practical model like I did for an accelerated path to thriving at home as much as they do at business. As for my story, my wife and I chose to do this family thing at warp speed, so I found myself trying to do what felt like impossible at the time: not only launching and scaling new business ventures, but also: 1. moving into a new home, 2. cultivating a new marriage, 3. raising my 1-year old son and 4. with another one on the way…all at the time. I knew a lot about starting new ventures and leading mission-based teams... but I knew very little about starting and leading a new family...paired with little quality actionable advice from friends & online and less time to learn. So I just soldiered through it like I've always done in my life and career when faced with a significant challenge. But this time I found myself working harder & harder and running faster & faster on a hamster wheel that was somehow spiraling away from everything that I kept telling myself I was killing myself for and from what truly mattered. My health was at an all-time low, my wife and I were overwhelmed and disconnected at the time and my kid barely knew me. I was just another guy who lived in the house. It was a bit of a mindfuck to be honest. I have always been the guy in either my family, firm or friends that could always overcome any obstacle, the guy that could always deliver... the guy that others could always depend upon. But I was failing HARD at the most important responsibility I ever had, I was not delivering on what mattered most and I was becoming someone my family wasn't sure they could truly rely on. It sucked. I sucked. I was failing for the first time in my life. I hated asking for it, but I really needed help. So I started exploring every option available and after trying out 4 coaches... executive, performance, productivity, you name it... trying to solve this hydra of a problem, I FINALLY found a lifeline with Curt who was honestly more valuable than all of them combined...as well as any 'leadership' classes I received at business school. Rather than trying to give me some 'woo woo', pop-psychology 'life advice' or a bag of tired tactics that I could just read in a book or a course like a few coaches I tried before, Curt had a very well-thought out, proven formula for an accelerated path to leading and cultivating a thriving marriage & family. I also think it's dangerous to use someone else's map... and rather trying to have me follow his specific way of doing things, Curt had a tactical template and a sophisticated set of conceptual tools that helped me create my own, paired with a depth of experience, an authentic authority and just the "no bullshit" actionable wisdom I needed to get the job done quickly and in a way that was authentic to me. Curt went above and beyond on everything we worked on from removing blockers & distractions, building an absolutely EPIC fatherhood ethos to creating a huge vision for my family's future, an aggressive goal roadmap to make it tangible at the pace I needed as well as the lever-moving habit & skill stack required to bring that vision into a reality. I initially came to Curt to scale a business without completely sacrificing my health and family but that quickly shifted to having my life's work become a vessel for my vision with my family at the center of it…and accomplishing WAY more of it than I ever thought possible this year thanks to his help. How is life now? By the numbers: Health: Lost 35 pounds, a slew of bad habits and I am now more physically fit, energetic and focused than I've been since college, possibly ever. Business: I work 4-hour days, spend the rest with family & on my own development... and get more done in a day than I used to in a week. Family: I am still early in my journey as a dad and aim to get better at it everyday, but I am crystal clear now at what my standards are and hit them more than days than not. I've become the man of my wife's dreams again and my kid's hero rather than a roommate. My wife is thriving again and little man has grown into a complete beast, is an absolute goofball and our world. We've put into motion the first legs of a long-term plan towards building our family's multi-general legacy and started a family council. We're thrilled to welcome our next one into the world soon. Things are good. Can't thank you enough brother. To anyone reading this, get in with Curt before he either 1. becomes a phenomenon and too successful AND/OR 2. becomes too busy with that army of kids he's raising to do 1:1 coaching anymore. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
