Powerful at Work, Powerless at Home? | Mitchell Osmond
Description
Mitchell Osmond explains why high-performing men feel powerful at work but disconnected at home—and how to rebuild marriage, health, and purpose.
In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Mitchell Osmond, founder of Dad Nation and host of the Dad Nation Podcast, for a powerful conversation on marriage, masculinity, leadership, and emotional connection.
Mitchell works exclusively with high-performing, career-driven men who feel successful professionally—but disconnected, confused, or powerless at home. He breaks down why men are more medicated, divorced, and emotionally lost than ever before, and how cultural confusion around masculinity is quietly destroying marriages.
This episode dives into:
- Why men default to “fixing” instead of listening
- The wiring differences between men and women (and why it matters)
- Why 70–90% of divorces are initiated by women
- How emotional disconnection—not money or cheating—ends marriages
- The “Powerful at Work, Powerless at Home” identity crisis
- Parkinson’s Law and a simple productivity system that restores focus
- How clarity, community, and legacy thinking transform men
- Why generational wealth is about behavior, not money
If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or business owner trying to win at work without losing your family, this episode will hit hard—in the best way.
