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

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Men are expected to hold everything together, stay strong, never break, and never need help. But the truth is far different. In this video, I break down the real expectations placed on men, why strength becomes a silent burden, and how Marcus Aurelius and Seneca understood the weight that modern men still carry today.

This is about fatherhood, responsibility, pressure, and the moment every man realizes he’s expected to stand alone. If you’ve ever felt like you had to be unbreakable just to be considered “enough,” this message is for you.

I’m currently fighting the hardest battle of my life — the legal fight to stay in my son’s life in a meaningful, consistent, and impactful way. If you want to support me in this mission, you can find my GoFundMe linked in the description.

Thank you for watching, and thank you for standing with me.
