ABOUT SHAWN

From Green Beret to Dad Bod Destroyer

I'm Shawn Vance—former Green Beret Medic, celebrity trainer, husband, father of three and full-time silly goose. I've trained soldiers for combat, actors for blockbuster roles, and now I help Dads build the strength and discipline to lead their families with purpose.

Fatherhood is the toughest mission I've ever taken on. I created the Dad Unit because I know firsthand the power of structure and brotherhood. The goal is simple: help guys like you reclaim your edge, meet your potential, and tap into the warrior within.

This is about way more than getting a six pack (although it's a nice perk) this is about meeting your potential and becoming the badass, tough, sexy, and disciplined alpha you're meant to be!

HOW IT WORKS

Four Steps to Warrior Status

01

Own Your Shit

Look in the mirror. Are you the man you want to be? No shame—just truth.

02

Admit You Need Support

Even Jason Bourne had a team. Your squad pushes you harder than you'd push yourself.

03

Define Your Why

Kids? Wife? Legacy? Find a reason bigger than you—it's your fuel.

04

Make a Commitment

Tap into that inner warrior. Decide to lead, then show up. Every damn day.
