Episode Details

Entrepreneurs are constantly sold the lie of "complete freedom" — but what if chasing that illusion is exactly what's costing you your marriage, your presence as a father, and your peace of mind? In this episode, Mat sits down with real estate investor, coach, and co-founder of the Balanced Business Dad movement, Dustin Hoog. Dustin has flipped over 100 properties, built a portfolio of 40+ single-family rentals, and now helps everyday people start investing through his P2 Blueprint. More importantly, he and his wife run multiple businesses together while actively working to strengthen their marriage — and he buys his kids a rental property every year starting at age three. Dustin and Mat break down the six pillars of the Balanced Business Dad framework (Faith, Health, Marriage, Fatherhood, Brotherhood, Business), why most people have them completely backwards, and the simple "Put It on the List" communication system that transformed how Dustin and his wife handle conflict. They also get into why TIME stands for "That Is My Excuse," the real difference between freedom and flexibility, and why the most dangerous thing in any cemetery is not the people who have gone — but the dreams that went with them.
