In this heartwarming episode of Prioritize, I take a walk back through the early chapters of life — when the world was simpler, and the lessons came from family, not from headlines. From soccer fields and fishing trips with Grandpa to the unforgettable day I got my first Chinese throwing star (don’t worry, Mom survived), these stories remind us how deeply the roots of faith, family, and fatherhood run.
I share a few laughs, a few lessons, and some honest encouragement for every dad out there trying to do it right — not perfectly, but presently. Because being a father isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about showing up, leading with love, and teaching your kids what really matters.
Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s talk about what it means to Prioritize.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
