Dad Mode In Dark Mode is a raw, unfiltered channel about fatherhood, philosophy, masculinity, and waking up in a world that feels rigged.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to perform just to be accepted… this video is for you.

We live in a world that tells you to be authentic—but only if it fits the mold. In this raw and unscripted breakdown, I’m sharing exactly why I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I’m not.

This isn’t self-help. It’s self-respect.

No fake positivity. No sugarcoated advice. Just the truth—about identity, masculinity, and the emotional cost of being real in a culture addicted to conformity.

I’m not a guru. I’m a father, a creator, and a man who’s seen the cost of selling your soul for approval—and I’m done doing that.

You’ll hear personal insights, emotional truths, and a challenge to every man (and woman) who’s been quietly suffocating under the pressure to please.

If you're tired of pretending, watching this might be the most honest moment of your week.
